My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 408

Chapter 408 Once, There Were 100,000 Demons, Stepping On The Sky and Breaking The Demon Court

The atmosphere in the valley was a little oppressive.

Li Changshou looked at the figure in front of him and felt that he was facing a bloody human history.

The Great Daoist Master was sitting by the river and grilling fish. Ling'e and Youqin Xuanya were standing behind Li Changshou. At that moment, they were frowning and staring at the hundreds of figures standing by the river. It was difficult for those figures to be called living beings.

There were no fluctuations in their auras. Their eyes were lifeless and they were motionless like clay statues.

However, they were indeed living beings.

They were still alive. Most of them had wounds on their bodies, and half of them had missing limbs. Under the ancient-looking armor, they seemed to be sleeping ferocious beasts.

“Senior Brother, they are…” “People.”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du stood up with the grilled fish and smiled as he gestured. A man and a woman walked out of the hundred-odd people.

The man was nearly ten feet tall. His entire body was bulging with black muscles. The armor on his body seemed to have merged with his body.

The woman was petite and had a scar on her face. However, she still gave off a gentle vibe. The two of them raised their right hands and touched their hearts. They knelt on one knee and said in unison, “Greetings, Lord.”

Behind them, more than a hundred figures stood quietly. They were indeed more like clay statues. Ling'e subconsciously hid behind Li Changshou. Youqin Xuanya looked at the figures and was in a daze. “Ah…”

The Great Daoist Master sighed. “It's a little troublesome to communicate with them. I spent months talking to each of them. They were all willing to return to the Primordial World to listen to your orders and kill the demons that had escaped from the ancient times. Junior Brother, use it well.” Li Changshou remained silent, which was abnormal. Ling'e asked softly, “Senior Great Daoist Master, where did these seniors come from?”

“The Xuandu City.” The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “In the ancient times, the battle in the Xuandu City was tense. The Human Emperor sent these soldiers to help the Xuandu City defend.

Now that the battle in Xuandu City is stable, the Dao soldiers are enough to protect it. They will be bored there. It's better to return to the Primordial World and fight the demons.” “I can deal with the demons today,” Li Changshou said. “Senior Brother, let these seniors return to the Xuandu City to recuperate.” “Yes.” The man and woman lowered their heads and answered. They stood up and walked back to the queue. They stood there quietly. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du asked curiously, “Why? Do you know their strength? Although there are only 108 people there, they are all elites of the human race who have survived since ancient times. The strongest human army that defeated the Demon Court and broke the Heavenly Cycle Array was their predecessor.” Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “Senior Brother, how can I give orders to them?”

“So that's what you were worried about. Come and sit.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and greeted them. “The two commanders, please come over.”

At that moment, the group sat beside the bonfire. Ling'e volunteered to take the wooden rod that was used to roast fish. Youqin Xuanya went to the stream to catch more spiritual fish.

The man and woman sat upright and looked down.

Li Changshou sat opposite the two of them and casually changed the topic. “Senior Brother, what battle can there be in the Xuandu City?” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said slowly, “It's a small matter. It's just some otherworldly demons wandering around the Chaos Sea. When the world was created, some Connate Godfiends who had escaped from the Pangu Divine Ax had also created some living beings. Most of these living beings are murderous and covet the Primordial World. Fortunately, the power of the Heavenly Dao surrounds the Primordial World and prevents them from invading. However, the Heavenly Dao was incomplete. It was impossible for him to not have missed anything. Therefore, the Dao Ancestor took action back then and established the Xuandu City. He took the initiative to expose the loopholes in the Heavenly Dao and used the Xuandu City to block the path of those living beings entering the Primordial World. At the end of the ancient Great Magi-Demon War, both the Magi-Demon and the Magi-Demon were injured. The power of living beings in the world fell to the lowest point. The Heavenly Dao's circulation was affected. The otherworldly demons caused trouble, and the Xuandu City became lively for a while…”

Ling'e praised softly, “There are really otherworldly demons.”

“Tsk.” The Great Daoist Master shook his head. “Those guys are all very ugly. They are ultimately not as handsome as your senior brother.”

Ling'e smiled and said, “That can't be compared.” “Hahaha.” Li Changshou laughed and looked at the two commanders. He took out a tea set from his sleeve and brewed six cups of tea. He used his immortal power to bring them to the front of the group. “Senior, please.”

“Thank you,” the tall man said softly. Under his long hair, his square face was calm. The woman held the hot tea with both hands and lowered her head to take a sip. Her gaze changed slightly.

“It's delicious.”

“It's good that you like it, Senior,” Li Changshou said warmly.

The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Junior Brother, do you know why the two of them are commanders? Actually, it's not because of their strength. It's because only the two of them can still communicate normally with others. They have retained their emotions and desires. They are almost the same as us. However, the two of them suffered the most… You should interact more with them.”

Li Changshou nodded slowly. He naturally knew that the Great Daoist Master was persuading him to leave that power behind.

For a moment, he hesitated and remained silent.

Ling'e once again acted as an expert in livening up the atmosphere. She asked softly, “Great Daoist Master, are these seniors from the ancient times?” “Yes.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du's gaze was a little distant. He held his teacup and looked at the clouds in the sky.

They sat on a rock that was not tall and listened to the Great Daoist Master tell them the story of the past…

The human race was created by the Goddess Nuwa. They were born with a Connate Dao Body. They were born weak and were good at cultivation. They were similar to the Dao.

At that time, the human race was just one of the thousands of races in the world. Since Nuwa had become a Saint, most of the races avoided the human race and allowed the human race to reproduce. The traces of the human race spread throughout the plains of the South Continent. However, disaster followed.

Due to the fact that the souls of humans were similar to the Dao, the Demon Master Kun Peng respectfully offered to the East Emperor Tai Yi. He used the method of refining secret treasures with the souls of humans. In order to completely defeat the Magi, the demons began to massacre the humans, capture the souls of humans, and refine the Magi-Slaying Divine Soldiers.

The human race was killed to the point where not even one of them survived. The demons still refused to stop. They wanted to kill everyone… The history of the human race began to become blurry here. It was as if the human race in the future had deliberately made the story vague here.

The Great Daoist Master was a witness and participant of history. He knew his full appearance. “Although Teacher and the Saint, Goddess Nuwa worked together to protect the last human race, the human race has already written their hatred in their bones.”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said calmly, “The humans who survived the disaster hate the demons to the extreme. They risked everything to increase their cultivation level and even deviated from the correct path of cultivation to transform into demons. Although the Saints had taken action to protect the human race's fire seed, the human race was at its weakest at that time. The demons were also afraid of leaving behind a calamity and wanted to get rid of the human race as soon as possible… That was the hardest period of time for the human race. That was why they were born.” Li Changshou said, “100,000 Demon Soldiers stepping through the sky.” Ling'e pursed her lips and carefully handed a grilled fish to the female commander closest to her.

“Senior…”

The latter shook her head gently and smiled at Ling'e. She continued to sit upright.

The Great Daoist Master casually took the grilled fish and smiled. “Give it to me. Don't waste it.”

Ling'e hurriedly handed the grilled fish over. Youqin Xuanya asked, “100,000 Demon soldiers… can you tell me in detail?” Li Changshou sighed and explained, “To enter the Demonic Path is to transform one's obsession into the Dao Realm. In a short period of time, one will obtain the improvement of the Dao Realm. However, it is very easy for one's Dao heart to collapse and one to lose control. In order to obtain power in a short period of time and not lose control, these seniors had to enter the demonic realm first and use secret techniques to increase their Dao realm. Then, they would sever their Dao hearts and seal their seven emotions and six senses, cutting off all their external senses. They locked their souls in their bodies and used special mystic techniques to distinguish between friend and foe. They turned into Demon Soldiers and honored the orders of the Human Emperor to protect the human race.” The Great Daoist Master clicked his tongue in wonder. “As expected of my junior brother. You even know such a secret!”

“I've seen this on a sheepskin…”

Li Changshou sighed and said, “I originally thought that it was just a rumor. However, after I visited the Three Emperors and Five Kings in the Fire Cloud Cave and learned about Senior Suiren, I realized that the human race's Demonic Armaments really existed. The lifespan of mortals is too short. The Primordial World is too long. Too much history has been lost over the long years…”

“Junior Brother, do you know that after the Demon Court was destroyed, they only had 3,623 members left?” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said, “I brought them to Xuandu City. After so many years, those with limited lifespans have all died. The rest… Junior Brother, bring them to kill demons. Let them be free on the battlefield. It's the best thing that you and I can do for them.” Li Changshou asked, “Senior Brother, is there no way to help them recover their senses?”

The Great Daoist Master frowned and said, “Isn't that a little too cruel to them?”

“If we don't ask them, how will we know what they are thinking?”

Li Changshou pondered for a while. His eyes flickered. At that moment, he had an idea. “They are the heroes of the ancient human race. They should not fight in the current generation. Senior Brother, I'll bring them to Anshui City and see if I can help them regain their seven emotions and six desires in a hundred years. If they want to be free, they do not need to suffer on the battlefield. The dignity and respect that the ancestors of the human race should have cannot be lacking. They have protected the human race to this day. They cannot want to stand in front of the human race today… I don't think that makes sense.”

The Great Daoist Master looked surprised. He asked curiously, “You thought of a solution just like that?”

“A little…”

The Great Daoist Master was stunned for a moment before he clapped and laughed. He kept praising Li Changshou for being smart. Ling'e blinked… Little Grief? Why do I feel that I don't know Senior Brother well enough?

When the teacher and brother were discussing the matter, the two Demon soldiers remained silent.

However, they looked at Li Changshou with gratitude.

Seeing that Li Changshou did not intend to use the hundred or so ancient humans to fight, the Great Daoist Master did not persuade him. Speaking of which, the Great Daoist Master was a little depressed. He personally went to the Mysterious Capital and “invited” the 108 ancient human Demon Soldiers back. Not only did they not become the “Demon Weapon” in Li Changshou's hands, but they also gave Li Changshou more work… As his senior brother, the Great Daoist Master felt a little embarrassed. Therefore, the Great Daoist Master took the initiative to ask about the rebellion of the demons. If the Heavenly Courts were under too much pressure, he, as an old man, would appropriately intervene… Li Changshou reported his current “battle results” truthfully. The Great Daoist Master laughed when he heard that.

On the other hand, Ling'e and Youqin Xuanya had a strange expression when they heard about the various methods of the Heavenly Courts. Ling'e naturally felt a little disgusted. After all, the techniques of the temple were too dirty in all aspects…

Youqin Xuanya said, “What does marriage have to do with fights? The demons should die. Let's defeat them openly. Wouldn't that be too unscrupulous?”

Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master looked at each other and laughed. The Great Daoist Master said, “Sometimes, being unscrupulous is not degrading.”

“Junior Sister Youqin,” Li Changshou said seriously. “In the Heavenly Courts, 90% of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are from the human race. Today, the human race is the main body. The Heavenly Courts can be considered the Heavenly Courts that protect the human race. I don't care about the life and death of these demons who openly oppose the heavens, let alone their marriage. The effective way to reduce the enemy's strength, resolve their morale, and increase the internal conflicts of the enemy was to protect the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Of course, I don't hate those living beings who are kind to the human race. Moreover, there are people who are evil in the human race. However, did the demons in the Anti-Heaven really suffer the Heavenly Courts' persecution? It has only been a few years since the Heavenly Courts had been established. The rebellious demons only felt threatened and were afraid. The reason why the Heavenly Courts are prosperous is because of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Courts follow the Heavenly Dao. The stronger the Heavenly Courts, the earlier the balance between evil and good will be reached.”

Youqin Xuanya fell into deep thought.

Ling'e muttered softly, “Senior Brother, Senior Sister Youqin is not blaming you. Don't be angry…” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Don't worry. Do you think I don't know Junior Sister Youqin's personality? The Heavenly Courts need talents like you.”

Ling'e pursed her lips. He was still calling her Xuanya just now!

“Yes.” Youqin Xuanya lowered her head and answered. However, she did not let go of her persistence on this matter.

The Great Daoist Master watched quietly from the side. He thought of something and kept smiling. I wonder what would happen if Junior Sister Yun Xiao joined the discussion… Li Changshou was worried about the “expert” behind the demons. While the Great Daoist Master was there, he asked, “Senior Brother, I keep feeling that someone is guiding Lu Ya behind his back.” It was not that he did not respect Lu Ya. He just felt that if Daoist Lu Chong had such broad horizons, the demons would definitely not be in their current state.

“It's a small matter. Let me calculate.”

The Great Daoist Master pinched his fingers and deduced. Soon, he exclaimed softly.

Li Changshou hurriedly asked, “Red embroidered ball?”

“It's not the Goddess. The other party actually has the ability to wipe out the heavenly secrets!” The Great Daoist Master squinted slightly and raised his hand to hold the Taiji Painting in his palm. He closed his eyes and focused. This time, it took a full moment. The Dao runes of the Taiji Painting circulated continuously… Finally, the Great Daoist Master said a name softly. “Bai Ze.”

Li Changshou was slightly stunned. Then, he looked enlightened. “No wonder. It's this ancient demon general. The demon generals who survived the Great Magi-Demon War were definitely not easy to deal with! Senior Brother, I can't let Bai Ze live. Can Senior Brother help me get rid of Bai Ze as soon as possible? If he helps Lu Ya again, the Heavenly Courts will be in trouble.”

“Alright,” the Great Daoist Master said. “I did not expect Bai Ze to take the initiative to enter the calamity this time. I'll go and find him now! However, Bai Ze is also a Connate auspicious beast. He has the ability to seek luck and avoid calamity. I will have to put in some effort. I will need some time.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “Perhaps, I can use his mystical ability to seek luck and avoid danger. I can reverse the Yin and Yang and lure him into a trap.”

“Oh? Interesting. Tell me in detail.”

At that moment, the fellow disciples beside the bonfire by the river began to study… the hundred ways to persecute the auspicious beasts. A hundred of them were naturally exaggerated. Li Changshou had only provided the Great Daoist Master with seven or eight ideas. According to the Great Daoist Master's understanding of Bai Ze, he had found a few possible weaknesses of Bai Ze.

For example, auspicious beasts that were good at deduction and Natural Mystiques were good at protecting their lives. Their lives had always been smooth-sailing. It was very likely that they would believe what they were thinking. He discussed with Li Changshou from noon until sunset. The Great Daoist Master could not wait to meet Bai Ze. He brought two grilled fish to eat on the way, broke through the universe, and disappeared. Before the Great Daoist Master left, he left two jade talismans for Li Changshou. They recorded the method to refine the Demonic Armament. It was so that Li Changshou could find a way to restore the Demonic Armament's Seven Emotions and Six Senses. In front of Ling'e and Xuanya, Li Changshou took out a paper effigy. The paper effigy rode a cloud and left with the 108 puppet-like Demon Soldiers. They did not say anything during the entire process. At that moment, they only recognized Li Changshou's orders. What kind of terrifying power was that? His cultivation level had started from longevity. He definitely followed orders and did not fear or retreat. He was good at teamwork and was best at using his immortal power. Moreover, each of them had several numinous treasures…

The Great Daoist Master had handed them over to Li Changshou to command. In fact, he wanted them to perish together with the experts of the demons in the North Continent and give the Demon soldiers a home.

That thought was not wrong, but Li Changshou was more inclined to let them make their own choice…

Now, the human race was already at peace. The Heavenly Courts could suppress the demons. Why did they need these human spirits to be heroic? “I think they want to see how magnificent the golden age that they risked their lives to obtain is…”

Li Changshou thought about the arrangements of the Demon soldiers and decided to bring them to Anshui City and let them live in the mortal world for a while.

He was prepared to try again when the demons at the border of the North Continent were more stable.

He did not know if the Lady of Earth's Seven Emotions Resonance could help them return to normal…

However, before Li Changshou and the Demon soldiers could reach Anshui City, Ling'e rushed to the Pill Chamber. She held a jade token that was wrapped in more than ten layers of immortal power.

“Senior Brother!”

“The disciple of the sect said that someone from the sect sent this jade token over!” Li Changshou shifted his attention back and asked, “What did you say?” “It was left behind by a Daoist who called himself Ze Bai. He specifically wanted to give it to you, Senior Brother!”

Li Changshou was stunned.

Ze Bai… Bai Ze?

If it was really him, the ancient demon general could not be left alive!
