My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 655 – Countdown to the God–Conferment Tribulation!

Chapter 655: Countdown to the God-Conferment Tribulation!

The previous book said:

Li Changshou was busy taking a break. The Heavenly Courts issued a declaration and used the power of the Heavenly Dao to lock onto the Void Bodhi's whereabouts. Then, he brought Bai Ze and the Golden Roc to surround him and rushed the Void Bodhi to the Chaos Sea.

When the disciples of the Western Sect discovered the Void Bodhi, they were filled with righteousness, ahem, and were in a tragic state.

It was outside the array formation of the spiritual mountain.

The Void Bodhi was dressed in a tattered Daoist robe. His body was covered in blood marks, and his mind was in a daze. There were also wisps of blood aura surrounding him. It was unknown what kind of life-saving mystical ability he had used.

He seemed to have experienced a huge battle and was lucky to escape back to the Primordial World through a life-saving method.

Perhaps it was because the Void Bodhi was not too far away from the Heavenly Dao.

Perhaps because the Saints of the Western Sect had secretly attacked, the Heavenly Dao did not reject the Void Bodhi.

The array formation of the spiritual mountain was activated. The Void Bodhi was grabbed by a huge hand and pulled into the spiritual mountain. Li Changshou's perception of the Void Bodhi was severed.

The Saint had personally taken action.

At the same time, on the Golden Roc's back at the edge of the trichiliocosm.

Li Changshou lowered his head and pondered for a while. Bai Ze, who had transformed into a three-feet-tall auspicious beast, sat with its hind legs bent. One of its hooves stroked its goatee.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Mr. Bai, why don't you transform into a human?”

“Oh, I forgot.” Bai Ze smiled and agreed. With immortal light, he transformed into a mustached scholar and sat cross-legged beside Li Changshou.

Jin Pengfei was more stable. He smiled. The position of the second mount of Ren School was unshakable.

Uh, why do I feel that I'm not as happy as I thought?

Bai Ze looked in the direction of the Chaos Sea and stroked his beard. He pondered for a while and asked, “Why didn't you kill that Void Bodhi previously?”

“The Seven Arrows Book.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “I've always been worried that this fellow placed the Seven Arrows Book in another position and wanted to force him into a corner. I didn't expect him to escape by luck.”

Bai Ze smiled and nodded at Li Changshou.

Li Changshou's expression remained the same. He blinked at Bai Ze.

Hence, the two of them chuckled.

Bai Ze naturally understood that Li Changshou had a deeper plan for chasing after the Void Bodhi and deliberately letting it go.

The Seven Arrows Book was not just an excuse. That was also part of Li Changshou's plan.

Bai Ze smiled and said, “Could it be that the current Deity Position and merit of the Water God is still afraid of the Seven Arrows Book?”

“I'm naturally not afraid. However, there are many personal disciples of the Saints of the Chan School. I don't have much merit.”

Li Changshou shook his head with a solemn expression.

“This Seven Arrows Book can be understood as a killing weapon made by the Demon Court using the ancient Heavenly Dao rules. The Heavenly Dao cannot deny the meaning of its existence. Otherwise, it would be denying the Heavenly Dao itself. It is an evil Dharma treasure that determined merit and destiny and took the lives of mighty figures. However, from the looks of it, it should have fallen into the hands of the Western Sect.”

Bai Ze was puzzled. “Why did the Water God conclude that the Seven Arrows Book is on the Void Bodhi?”

“Firstly, this is in line with the trend of the Heavenly Dao lowering the power of living beings. Secondly, the one who had the closest contact with Lu Ya in the Western Sect was the Void Bodhi. The Void Bodhi had fooled many old demons. The Demon Emperor Seal should have been sent to Lu Ya by the Void Bodhi. Thirdly, I have already secretly investigated the demons. I have also interrogated many old demons. When Deputy Sect Master Randeng's lamp was blown out, I did not discover the Seven Arrows Book. After some calculations, the possibility of the Seven Arrows Book landing in the hands of the Void Bodhi is the highest. It might be an exchange between him and Lu Ya.”

Li Changshou paused. “He's probably on the spiritual mountain now.”

He seethed.

Bai Ze took a deep breath and said firmly, “If the Saint uses this item to secretly plot against a disciple of Jie School, Chan School and Jie School will inevitably go to war.”

“War is inevitable.”

Li Changshou sighed softly. “Now, I'm thinking about how to let the Dao Sect retain more Essence Energy. The Dao heritage will not be lost, and we will be able to maintain a place in the world. It would be best if the two Uncle-Masters would not break up. Although their relationship might worsen, they would not become enemies. Then, I can retire normally.”

Bai Ze chuckled and said, “The Water God's integrity is really admirable.”

“Don't flatter me.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I'm just afraid of death.”

Bai Ze nodded in understanding. He pondered for a while and asked a question that he had been very concerned about…

“At that time, can the Water God's Little Qiong Peak have another house?”

“Sir, you can come anytime. However, you still have to hand the Heaven Ascension Hall to a trustworthy person.”

The Golden Roc, who was spreading its wings and flying, also said, “Teacher, I'm willing to follow Teacher to the outer world to avoid the world!”

“Hey, Golden Roc, you don't have to.”

Li Changshou said seriously, “You're different from me and Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai has always been hiding from the world. He was captured by me, ahem, and I invited him back to be my advisor.”

The corners of Bai Ze's mouth twitched a few times. “Capturing is capturing. I was wrong. My intelligence is inferior to Changgeng.”

“I was lucky.”

Li Changshou calmly changed the topic. “Golden Roc, you are still carrying the destiny of the phoenix race. You have to work hard in the Heavenly Courts. Only then can you help your phoenix race at the crucial moment.”

The Golden Roc lowered its head and sighed. However, it quickly pulled itself together and spread its wings to fly faster.

He was not an awkward person. He indeed carried the destiny of the clan and could not make such a decision based on his personality.

The Golden Roc smiled and said, “Teacher, in the Great Tribulation, let me help you stir up the situation! Wherever Teacher's gaze goes, my spear goes. I have no regrets!”

“Why are you suddenly so hot-blooded?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Mr. Bai, return to the Heaven Ascension Hall ahead. Try not to get too close to the five continents. The killing intent there is lingering and conflicting with Mr. Bai's auspicious aura.”

“Yes, thank you for your concern, Water God.”

“Also.” Li Changshou stopped smiling and revealed a look of hesitation. Soon, he said, “Help me tell Aunt-Master Jiu something. You have to relay my exact words. Just say… After the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, I will settle the matters of the Heavenly Courts and retreat to the Chaos Sea. At that time, there will be seven to eight living beings on the Little Qiong Peak. If you are willing to come, there will be no lack of elixir wine. However, as time passes, it will inevitably be a little lonely.”

Bai Ze's eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “Water God, you still can't let go of Her Highness, the Goddess.”

“I can only give you these promises.” Li Changshou rubbed his eyebrows. “The matters between men and women are a hundred times more complicated than schemes. When I was attracted to Little Aunt-Master, she did not know much about romance. Her feelings were hard to determine. After my Dao heart was completely occupied by others, I no longer had any feelings for her. In the end, I thought that she could walk out of this hurdle and stay in the Primordial World where she will be carefree. However, if she can't walk out, I will naturally help her.”

Bai Ze muttered softly, “I think Yun Xiao and Ling'e don't mind…”

“Not all relationships will bear fruit.” Li Changshou's gaze was a little distant. “A person's heart is limited. If you don't control your greed and selfishness, no matter how profound your Dao is, you will ultimately be devoured by your own greed. Moreover, I'm afraid that I won't be able to deal with Yun and Ling'e in the future. As time passed, all kinds of small problems would be exposed. Every couple would see each other's kindness during the passionate stage. As time passes, they will have to tolerate each other's hostility. In particular, the relationship between the two great stars that attracted and surrounded each other is easy to deduce. However, if three stars attracted each other and flew around each other, the changes would be endless and unpredictable. You can pass these words to Aunt-Master Jiu. There's no need to tell her that I was once attracted to her. I don't want to disturb her judgment.”

“Alright!”

Bai Ze nodded and said seriously, “I will definitely not say anything. However, Lord Water God, if you want to live in the Chaos Sea, it'd be livelier to have more friends.”

“We'll talk about it when the time comes.”

Li Changshou looked at the stars in the void and the light spots that bloomed in the various worlds.

He did not know how much the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor would believe him.

Avoid the world?

He had to ensure that the world was stable and that he could return at any time.

A few months later, in the straw hut of the Little Qiong Peak…

Li Changshou slowly spread out the scroll in front of him. He looked at the symbols that each of them pointed to and sighed softly.

Without the feedback mechanism of monitoring the Heavenly Dao at any time and devising all kinds of schemes, he felt a little uncertain.

Since a few hundred years ago, he had been “sensationalizing” his retirement. All his arrangements had developed in that direction. However, it was really impossible to tell if he had hidden it from the Heavenly Dao.

However, he did not encounter any more resistance. It should be that the Heavenly Dao or the Dao Ancestor had tacitly agreed to his plan.

“Tsk…”

After Senior Lang died, the Primordial World was almost dead.

If he wanted to break through the situation, he could only use the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

Li Changshou brushed the scroll in front of him with his palm. Wisps of flames engulfed the scroll and burned it to ashes in the blink of an eye. The ordinary wooden table was completely unharmed.

At that moment, they had already entered the countdown to the God Conferment.

Li Changshou closed his eyes and seemed to be out of his mind. He shifted his attention to the paper effigies everywhere and observed the “horns” of the Great Primordial Stage God-Conferment Theater.

Shen Bao had gone to the edge of the Aparagodānīya Continent to mingle with a group of demons. He was not far from the Golden Immortal Tribulation.

Di Xin was still in his swaddling clothes and was already immune to poison. He was fair and cute, completely unlike a tyrant.

The Xuanyuan Tomb was filled with songs every night. A few demonesses who were controlled by the Heavenly Dao were spending the last carefree time of their demon lives.

In the Great Yin City, a certain burning woman finally found an opportunity to stand out and gain the recognition of a female general.

Wen Zhong wrote furiously in the royal court. He cultivated the Dao of being an official and the Dao of being a human. He built his next step to climb up.

In the Da Shi Residence, the Da Shi, who was a scholar of fifty carriages, chatted and laughed with the ministers and the distant dukes. Although it was difficult to grasp the hearts of people, he was at ease.

In the South Continent, capable people and mutants were secretly hiding. The Heavenly Courts turned a blind eye to this.

Jie School and Chan School each took out their pawns. However, both parties were avoiding conflict with each other and were fine.

At the age of three, Ji Chang officially succeeded the Marquis of Xibo and paid more tribute to the Shang Nation. Although he developed agriculture, he reduced the number of troops. Di Yi appreciated that.

That year, Zi Shou was knocked over by a shocked horse.

When Zi Shou was six years old, there would be floods.

Di Yi ordered the capital of the Shang Nation to be moved from Yin City to Chaoge City. He took the opportunity to cleanse some of the aristocratic forces that could not be eliminated and reconstruct the center of power.

The Shang Nation's strength was recovering. In order to digest the remaining slaves in the country, they launched an expedition against the large countries in the southwest that did not include the Shang Nation.

Li Jing took the opportunity to join the expedition army. With the help of his father-in-law's family, his military merits soared.

At the age of nine, the expedition army won and returned.

Li Jing joined the royal court as a general and revealed extraordinary strength. However, he took the initiative to ask to return to Chentang Town to resist the evil and protect the Shang Nation.

Zi Shou was overjoyed and was rewarded generously. He specially allowed the Chentang Town to be changed to Chentang Pass. Li Jing conferred the total number of troops in Chentang Pass and restrained the area within a 500-kilometer radius.

The total number of soldiers was meant to be in charge of military affairs. They were already officials of the border.

In the same year, Li Jing brought his wife, the Yin family, to Chentang Pass and secretly taught the Yin family cultivation techniques. The couple was relaxed and carefree.

Zi Shou was twelve years old. Eight hundred dukes had entered the Chaoge for an audience. The Shang Nation was prosperous and the political situation was stable.

Wen Zhong acknowledged the young master and taught him.

Li Changshou, on the other hand, saw the gradually awakening ambitions and ferocious faces.

He began to fade out of Chaoge City's sight.

Zi Shou was thirteen years old. The palace collapsed and the beam was thrown at him. However, the burly young man raised it with one hand and calmly lowered his head to drink tea.

He was used to it.

Wen Zhong secretly went to the Great Shi Residence to meet Li Changshou. He chatted with Li Changshou for a few hours and finally used an escape technique to leave.

In just a few months, Wen Zhong revealed his “abilities” and broke the evil curse array that someone secretly cast in the Shang Palace. He joined forces with his son to rebel against the Fang Nation and made outstanding contributions.

In the same year, on the tall city wall of the Chentang Pass that had been completed, Li Jing supported his wife, who was pregnant, with a warm smile on his lips.

Li Jing's eldest son was already on the way to reincarnation.

As for Perfected Taiyi, he was still searching in the mortal world and could not find a satisfied couple.

At the same time…

In the depths of the Dragon Palace under the East Ocean.

The Dragon King of the East Ocean and two elders who had survived since ancient times stood in front of the empty “dragon nest”.

After a long silence, the Dragon King of the East Ocean took out a dragon egg from his mouth and placed it in the dragon's nest. He crushed the jade token in his hand.

An old dragon asked softly, “Are we really going to do that?”

“Yes,” said Ao Guang in a low voice. “Now, we can only trust Lord Taibai Jinxing. Even if we don't succeed, the dragon race's fate should be in danger.”

The two old dragons nodded. The three of them stared at the slowly trembling dragon egg with mixed emotions.

When Zi Shou was sixteen years old, he was engaged to the Jiang family.

Zi Shou turned eighteen… nineteen… twenty-one…

In the mortal dynasty, the power struggle did not end. However, this heir was like a stubborn rock that did not fall.

In the straw hut by the lake in the Heavenly Courts, Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou swept his long sleeve gently, and another scroll in front of him turned to ashes.

He chuckled and his eyes lit up. He seemed to be looking forward to it.

He looked up in the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace and seemed to be able to see the burly old man who was casually sitting in the bamboo forest. He was also looking down at him.

The chessboard, the world.

Non-saints were playing chess.

Li Changshou chuckled and retracted his gaze. He shifted his attention to the edge of the Aparagodānīya Continent and looked at the surging Tribulation Clouds and the trembling middle-aged Daoist.

Shen Bao's throat trembled. He looked up at the Golden Immortal Tribulation that he had attracted. Although his Dao heart was twitching, he still exclaimed softly, “T-this is actually the legendary Eight Desolates Heart Demon Tribulation, ranked seventeenth in the Golden Immortal Tribulation! Hey, I seem to have said that before. It's over, it's over. I've worked hard for so long, but it was all for nothing! Ah, why does the heavens treat me like this! I'm dead!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

He would not believe that it was not for utilitarian benefits!
