My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 248

Chapter 248 Seal! Reward! The Righteous God!

“Why is it so lively in the South Ocean?”

In front of the South-Heaven Gate, General Dongmu, who had changed into a brand new robe, held the decree that shone with seven colors and smiled.

Behind General Dongmu were a few Golden Immortal realm Heavenly Generals with deep Dao runes and condensed auras. They answered with two meaningless answers…

Behind the Golden Immortals were rows of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals in bright armor.

There were many Heavenly Soldiers with spears and swords. They were all clad in silver-white armor, and their expressions were solemn.

This should be the first time that the Heavenly Courts had issued the Jade Emperor's decree with such great fanfare and a grand event.

The tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals had been carefully selected. There were certain requirements for their cultivation level and their looks. The Heavenly Generals were personally selected by General Dongmu. They were more experienced and reliable.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals had also received the news. This time, it was the Jade Emperor who conferred the title of the Legitimate God of the Heavenly Courts to the Sea God…

Who is this Sea God?

In the past few decades, there had been many rumors about the Sea God of the South Ocean in the Heavenly Courts.

Some people said that he was a disciple of the Saint of Ren School. He was chosen by the Saint to take on the great role of supporting the Jade Emperor to integrate the Three Realms.

There were also people who said that he was the Jade Emperor's confidant and most trusted advisor…

However, many Heavenly Generals felt that they were making a mountain out of a molehill.

Elder Moon, who was dressed in a wedding robe, rode a cloud and floated over from behind. After bowing to General Dongmu, he frowned and asked, “General Dongmu, do we need to prepare anything for the wedding?” “Well, His Majesty did not give any instructions.” General Dongmu pondered for a while. “When the time comes, Elder Moon will congratulate everyone together.”

“Don't we have to prepare any congratulatory gifts?”

“There's no need for that.” General Dongmu smiled and said, “It won't be too late to give Fellow Daoist Sea God a gift when he enters the Heavenly Courts. There's no need for that today.”

“That's right. You're right, General Dongmu.” Elder Moon cupped his hands and left.

General Dongmu calculated the time and looked at the position of the Golden Crow. He said, “All Heavenly Soldiers, get ready!”

Outside the South-Heaven Gate, tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers answered in unison, “There!”

“Yes.” General Dongmu nodded. “We will set off in two hours!”

The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals immediately let out the breaths that they had been holding and felt a little helpless…

General Dongmu was clearly nervous.

It could not be helped. Others did not know the importance of the decree, but General Dongmu, who was always beside the Jade Emperor, knew it clearly. The Sea God would definitely be an important minister of the Heavenly Courts in the future. Once the matter of the dragon race comes to an end, the Sea God's rank would probably be on par with him, General Dongmu. Moreover, the Sea God had a powerful background, was scheming, and was well-versed in the Dao of serving others. The Jade Emperor was full of praises for him and was not wary of him at all.

Seriously… comparison only brings about unhappiness!

After opening the decree that contained the seven-colored streams of light, General Dongmu read the contents carefully. He was afraid that he would misread a word or use the wrong tone later.

Immortals went into seclusion for years. For most Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, two hours passed quickly in a daze.

However, General Dongmu felt that the Golden Crow had moved too slowly during those two hours. It was so slow that his Dao heart was in turmoil…

Finally…

“Let's go!”

General Dongmu shouted softly. The spirits of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals were lifted. They rode the clouds and left the cloud path from the South-Heaven Gate, heading straight for the South Continent!

At that moment, at the coast of the South Ocean, the experts of the Dao Sect and the dragon race, who had already sensed that something was amiss, diverted their attention from the singing and dance performances, and focused on the sky.

Over there, layers of white clouds were pressing down. There were tall figures standing on the clouds.

“Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals?”

“What are these Heavenly Soldiers doing here? Are they here to congratulate me?”

“Speaking of which, why is the Sea God Sect holding this celebration today?” Amidst the discussions, the singing and dancing on the platform below suddenly stopped. Ao Yi jumped onto the platform again and raised a jade token that had a dragon's head sculpted on it. He exclaimed, “Where are the dragon soldiers!?!”

The experts of the dragon race replied in unison, “Here!”

Ao Yi's long hair danced in the wind. He was in high spirits and took the initiative to show some might and dominance, which was rare of him.

“True Dragon Guardians of the light up a thousand Immortal Flood Dragon troops and welcome the Heavenly Courts' Heavenly Soldiers!”

“Okay!”

At that moment, he heard a series of dragon roars. More than ten figures of the dragon race rushed out of the clouds and turned into true dragons in the sky. They led thousands of flood dragons and broke through the sky!

Under the sunlight, the dragon scales of various colors glistened. The scene of a thousand dragons rising to the sky was spectacular!

Many mortals were excited. Although they did not know what to be excited about, they knew that they just had to be excited…

Ao Yi's delicate face was filled with solemnity.

He shouted again, “Please… Sea God statue!”

“Hey! Hey! Hey, oh, hey!”

A loud and clear voice sounded from the side of the platform. The eighteen Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect supported themselves with their hands and carried a ten-feet-tall white jade statue on their shoulders. They ascended the platform from the side and placed the statue in the middle of the platform.

The restrictions on the edge of the platform were quietly activated. Immortal light surrounded the statue.

Below the platform, the believers of the Sea God Sect knelt down.

Ao Yi shouted again, “Please… Sea God!”

Please Sea God?

The mortals were initially stunned. The immortals of the Three Sects and the experts of the dragon race subconsciously started to look for Li Changshou. However, they suddenly realized that Li Changshou had disappeared.

At this moment!

A beam of light flew out of the South Ocean's seawater and turned in the air, illuminating the copper mirror!

The copper mirror shone brightly. The Sea God statue was rapidly melting. In the blink of an eye, it was surrounded by clouds.

When the clouds dissipated, a figure formed from a ray of blue light stood still quietly.

The situation was transmitted to all parts of the arena.

The mortals all called him the Sea God. Most immortals said that they knew how to play.

The Great Daoist Master smiled when he saw that. Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled, while Perfected Huang Long pondered.

The others, such as Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Perfected Yuding, the Mother of Turtle Spirit, and Goddess Wudang, smiled without saying a word.

They were all experienced and knowledgeable people. They naturally knew that it was just a trick to increase the faith of mortals.

Although it was ingenious, it was not impressive.

Suddenly, the “light person” spoke.

“Where is my incarnation?”

At the back of the platform, Li Changshou's paper effigy, which looked like an old immortal, flew up and landed behind the “person of light “. Then, he held his horsetail whisk and walked towards the person of light.

In an instant, layers of ripples appeared on the platform, spreading out from afar.

When the light faded and the water ripples dissipated, pure spiritual energy dissipated with the wind.

The spiritual energy was something that could get rid of the illnesses of mortals just by smelling it once. They could nourish their bodies by smelling it twice. When they smell it thrice…

Ahem, let's talk about serious matters.

At that moment, Li Changshou's paper effigy stood beside Ao Yi and accepted the power of incense offerings and merit.

Li Changshou had put in a lot of effort to create such a “trick” just so that the believers of the Sea God Sect would not have their fantasies “destroyed”. If the old immortal paper effigy, who often appeared, stood up and said that he was the Sea God, the mortals would definitely lose a portion of their trust and hopes for the Sea God even if they believed him.

After a while, immortal light appeared in the South Ocean, and he used Dharma spells to form a shadow. Then, he pointed out that the old immortal looked like the incarnation of the Sea God…

It directly reinforced the concept of the Sea God and made the believers more cohesive.

That was how incense merit was condensed.

Ao Yi bowed and took two steps back.

Li Changshou sat cross-legged in the air and slowly rose 100 feet. He recited the teachings of the Sea God Sect and advised the believers of the Sea God Sect to work hard to become rich, respect the old, and love the young…

Not long after, wisps of merit from incense offerings condensed above the heads of the mortals. They turned into golden light that filled the sky and gathered towards Li Changshou.

The immortals from the three sects, who were originally mocking him, looked at Li Changshou differently when they sensed the genuine power of merit.

Many immortals who wanted to develop an incense sect also expressed that they had really learned it today…

When Li Changshou finished reciting the teachings of the Sea God Sect, the sound of war drums echoed in the sky. White clouds flew over from the sky, and the silver-armored Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals stood on them.

The dragons roared and danced in the distance. They had completed the task of receiving the Heavenly Soldiers.

At that moment, most of the experts of the dragon race and the immortals of the three sects had yet to react to what was going on.

At that moment, a wisp of Heavenly Dao power gathered above the South Ocean. A golden pillar of light shot out from the South-Heaven Gate and pierced through the universe, shining on Li Changshou.

Li Changshou stood up in the air. His eyes shone slightly as he said firmly, “Today is the day I obtain the approval of the Heavenly Dao and become a righteous god!” As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals opened up a path on a white cloud. A figure walked on golden light! The person's sleeves were fluttering and his gray hair was floating. He was holding a seven-colored cloth. Who else could it be but General Dongmu?

General Dongmu scanned with his immortal senses and could not help but tremble.

What… What kind of battle is this?

Are they showing the might of the Heavenly Courts or take them down a notch? Why are there so many important figures from the Three Sects!?! General Dongmu raised the decree in his hand and calmed himself down.

He shouted, “Where is the Sea God of the South Ocean?”

Li Changshou bowed and stood with his head held high in the golden light. “I'm here!”

“The Jade Emperor has a decree! Sea God, hear it!”

General Dongmu slowly unfolded the scroll in his hand and recited loudly, “Today, there is a Sea God in the South Ocean. He has gathered the devotees and established an incense sect. He taught the people and protected the mortal world. He killed demons and devils. He has contributed greatly! The Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts felt that the Sea God had done a good deed. He thought about the people's hearts and made an exception! By order of the Amazing Heavenly Venerate, the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts, Hao Tian! The Sea God of the South Ocean, Li Changgeng, is conferred the title of the perfect God Of The Four Seas! He would enjoy the worship of the living beings of the four seas, and be allowed to enter the Immortal Sects of the Heavenly Courts' Lingxiao Hall. He would have the right to discuss matters in the Hall of Enlightenment. He would be in charge of the battles, plagues, soldiers, and disasters in the four seas! He will patrol the four seas on behalf of the heavens!”

Li Changshou bowed and shouted, “Changgeng, accept my orders!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the decree in General Dongmu's hand turned into seven-colored streams of light. With rich Heavenly Dao power, they flew towards Li Changshou and entered his chest.

In an instant, a wave of Heavenly Dao power enveloped Li Changshou. The golden ray of light was quickly retracted and gathered with the rainbow-colored streams of light. They entered Li Changshou's incarnation and went straight to find his main body.

Indeed!

Before he could rejoice, Li Changshou's main body was already drowned by merit!

Fortunately, he had only been given merit. He did not have any insights to forcefully increase his cultivation level.

Li Changshou's cultivation level was one of his trump cards. That trump card was not a threat but a trick.

If he transcended the Golden Immortal Tribulation at this moment and was lucky enough to survive it, it would be equivalent to telling others that he had just become a Golden Immortal. That would be more dangerous. Only by hiding his true strength from the person who wanted to target him could he make the other party have more reservations and scruples.

The power of the Heavenly Dao formed by the decree condensed into a rainbow-colored long fork in Li Changshou's essence soul…

en

Li Changshou's essence soul held the long fork. The wind and clouds above the South Ocean changed, and waves rose on the surface of the sea.

His essence soul immediately released the long fork, and the South Ocean quickly regained its peace… This Deity Position is not just for show?

It seems that I can really affect the four seas now?

In the sky, General Dongmu took a deep breath and shouted, “Your Majesty, the Jade Emperor, you will be rewarded!”

Li Changshou did not dare to touch the fork again and listened quietly.

The Jade Emperor had bestowed three treasures. The first one was the 'Four Seas Treasure Book', which recorded the detailed information about the four seas.

The second item was the 'imperial court attire '. It was a Merit numinous treasure. Its defensive abilities were average, but its main point was that it was dressed rather handsomely.

The third treasure was a sword. It was a Postnatal Merit numinous treasure. The name of the Sea God was engraved on it. It could be used to mobilize the Heavenly Courts' troops.

A Heavenly General landed with three treasures. After Li Changshou received them, he felt rather emotional.

The Jade Emperor was quite generous. He had given him the Deity Position, merit, power, and soldiers. He did not know if the immortals of the three sects would yearn for the Heavenly Courts with such a luxurious treatment.

He scanned with his immortal senses and realized that most of the immortals from the three sects looked curious and found it quite interesting…

On the other hand, the dragon race members had complicated expressions. They were more or less envious.

The highlight of the day had just begun. Li Changshou held the Sea God Sword and shouted softly, “Where is the Second Sect Master, Ao Yi?”

A dragon's roar sounded. Ao Yi turned into an azure dragon and flew over. He curled up his dragon body and floated in front of Li Changshou. Li Changshou said, “Today, I am the Sea God. You will be the commander of the Four Seas Army. You will have the Deity Position of the Heavenly Courts!”

After saying that, Li Changshou pointed his sword forward and was about to distribute a portion of the merit from his Deity Position.

However, before he could do anything, another golden ray of light shot out from the South-Heaven Gate and landed on Ao Yi, wrapping around his body.

uy.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Yes, I get to save it.

The ray of golden light was much lighter than the one that enveloped Li Changshou previously. Naturally, the power of merit contained in it was much lesser.

Ao Yi's body was surrounded by the power of the Heavenly Dao. The dragon scales on his body were glistening!

Suddenly, a sanguine murderous aura flew out from Ao Yi's forehead and condensed into a pitch-black shadow. However, it was shattered by the power of the Heavenly Dao!

Is that…

The negative karma of the dragon race!

Ao Yi had obtained the Heavenly Dao Deity Position. Even though it was only the lowest level, the Deity Position that belonged to the Sea God had removed the negative karma that he had brought with him before he was born!

All of a sudden, resplendent green light surged out from all over Ao Yi's body. The power of merit was hidden in Ao Yi's body, and Ao Yi was enveloped by a thick green light.

The power of his bloodline was no longer limited!

The Dragon King's bloodline had soared!

The azure dragon soared into the sky and crashed into a black cloud. Lightning flashed inside and outside the black cloud, but Ao Yi's aura was rising steadily.

Li Changshou smiled when he saw that.

However, most of the hundreds of experts from the dragon race were shocked. Clearly, they were extremely touched.

Many old dragons looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

The effect was unexpectedly good.

Li Changshou had already shown them the way out for the dragon race. It was up to them to decide.

That long fork…

This time, Li Changshou maintained a calm state of mind. His essence soul held the long fork, and he gained many new insights.

That treasure was formed from his Deity Position. It could set off waves in the four seas and restrain most living beings with low intelligence in the four seas.

If he were to fight with people in the four seas in the future, he could still borrow that 'divine power'.

Furthermore… the detection effect of that thing seemed to be very good. Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. At that moment, the situation within a 5,000-kilometer radius of the South Ocean was etched in his heart. He also saw a few figures hiding above the ocean. There were three old Daoists in the southwest. Two of them had been scammed by Master Zhao in the East Ocean previously.

Did the people from the Western Sect see this?

That would be great!

In the southeastern direction, dozens of kilometers away, at the seaside that was very close to that place, a beautiful figure stood quietly in a cloud and was watching that place…

When… did she come?

As if sensing that Li Changshou was using his divine power to spy, the fairy in the clouds chuckled. She revealed her tracks and rode a cloud towards the cloud platform.
