“Fellow Daoist, have you heard? The Immortal Du Sect, which Lord Taibai Jinxing Li Changgeng had originally cultivated, had been destroyed by the Western Sect. In the blink of an eye, Li Changgeng had destroyed the sect of the Western Sect! He smashed the door of the spiritual mountain, not the entire spiritual mountain. Don’t mislead him.”
“Why do I hear that the immortals of Jie School destroyed the Immortal Du Sect? They even killed the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Ji Wuyou?”
“Could the immortals of Jie School do that? What’s Fairy Yun Xiao’s relationship with Lord Taibai Jinxing? What schemes do Lord Taibai Jinxing have? He has already gone to destroy the Western Sect. Is there a need to ask the answer?”
“That’s true… The Western Sect is inhumane. When did they start to sow discord every day?”
“Be careful with your words.”
…
“Fellow Daoist, have you heard? Lord Taibai Jinxing smashed the gate of the Western Sect. That scene is bloody and terrifying!”
“Isn’t everyone talking about that? It seems that the Western Sect controlled some immortals from Jie School and went to the immortal sect that Lord Taibai Jinxing cultivated in his early years to cause trouble. They killed the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Ji Wuyou.”
“You just need to know about this. Don’t speak nonsense. The Western Sect is also a big sect. We can’t afford to offend them.”
“Yes, yes.”
…
“Hey, Fellow Daoist, have you heard?
Lord Taibai Jinxing smashed the gate of the Western Sect and tied up all the disciples of the Western Sect in front of the two Saints. He hung them on a tree and beat them.”
“Hey, why?”
“Don’t tell anyone. I heard that the Western Sect is secretly using the name of the immortal of Chan School to control the immortals of Jie School to cause trouble for the Immortal Du Sect of Ren School. The Immortal Du Sect is the place where Lord Taibai Jinxing cultivated in his early years. They had a deep relationship. In the end, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect was killed, and thousands of disciples died. Lord Taibai Jinxing went to destroy the sect of the Western Sect. As the Great Tribulation had not officially ended, he restrained himself from killing too many people.”
“Ah… So that’s how it is! Fellow Daoist, don’t worry. I will definitely keep my mouth shut… Wait?! Immortal Du Sect? Which Immortal Du Sect? The Ren School that I established?”
At the banquet, Perfected Du’e suddenly stood up and glared at his old friend.
Before the fellow Daoist, who had known him for many years and was almost as good as him at keeping his mouth shut, could speak, Perfected Du’e had already turned around and rushed out. He could not be bothered to choose a cloud carefully and rushed towards the East Continent.
Perfected Du’e pinched his fingers and deduced. He was naturally blinded by the heavenly secrets and could not come to any conclusions. Only then did he remember that he had only maintained contact with Ji Wuyou in the past.
At that moment, he had heard the news about the Immortal Du Sect from the banquet. That meant that he, who had been nurtured from an in-name disciple to an official disciple…
He rode a cloud through the fog and traveled at lightning speed. Perfected Du’e had already calmed down halfway.
After all, he had been through a lot. He had the number one loudspeaker in the Primordial World, no, he had the prestigious Immortal Dao status in a certain range.
If the rumors were true, and the second disciple of the Sect Master of Ren School, who was very popular now, was from the Immortal Du Sect, it would only be a matter of time before the Immortal Du Sect was embroiled in the battle between the sects.
Who are the people of the Western Sect?
Ever since the ancient times, he had been forcing others. With the support of two Saints, he had been fearless in the Aparagodānīya Continent.
According to the rumors, they only said that Lord Taibai Jinxing had destroyed the sect of the Western Sect. They did not say that he had killed anyone from the Western Sect. Why?
It was very simple. The disciples of the Western Sect who could appear on the surface were not important figures. They could be used to repay karma at any time. The true core members of the Western Sect were all hiding in the dark.
Killing them would actually be a loss. It would be better to smash the sect and slap the two Saints of the Western Sect in the face.
The Saint’s pride had been continuously ‘deified’, but it was worthless now.
With mixed emotions, Perfected Du’e finally arrived at the East Continent. His immortal senses could not wait to extend towards the Immortal Du Sect. Along the way, he frightened many Qi Refinement cultivators who were riding a cloud.
Not long after, Perfected Du’e slowed down the cloud. He frowned and looked at the Immortal Du Sect, which had lit up the array formation again, and the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals patrolling in the sky.
The Heavenly Courts’ troops were indeed extraordinary.
“Wait!”
Ao Yi descended from the sky and stood in front of Perfected Du’e.
Perfected Du’e bowed and hurriedly said, “Heavenly General, please come. I’m Du’e of the Eight Treasures Cave of Kunlun Mountain. I’m the founder of the Immortal Du Sect. I heard that the Immortal Du Sect had been destroyed and rushed over to visit.”
“Perfected One, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. I naturally know you.” Ao Yi cupped his fists and bowed. He first sighed and said softly, “Perfected One, my condolences. Sect Leader Wuyou…”
“Is Wuyou serious?!”
“In order to protect the disciples in the sect, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou forcefully burned his essence soul and activated his mystical abilities. In the end, he died from exhaustion. My Brother Sect Master came half a step late. Fortunately, most of the disciples in the sect were protected by the Floating Flame Flag. Although there were casualties, their Primordial Energy is still present. Brother Sect Master has already ordered me to guard this place for 300 years and help the Immortal Du Sect survive this period of time. I have also invited a few ancient elders of the Zenith Heaven realm in the clan to protect this place.”
Perfected Du’e looked worried when he heard that. He opened his mouth but could only sigh softly and smile bitterly. “Really, really…
Did Wuyou leave with any regrets?”
“Sect Leader Wuyou has no regrets,” said Ao Yi. “Perfected One, don’t be too sad. The remnant soul of Sect Leader Wuyou’s True Spirit has already been protected by Brother Sect Master and sent to the Six Paths of Reincarnation to recuperate. Apart from the hundreds of disciples who had their souls scattered and only their true spirits escaped to the Netherworld, Brother Sect Master had already made arrangements for the other souls that could be saved. With the Lady of Earth personally helping Sect Leader Wuyou increase his aptitude, the Book of Life and Death had already decided on his next reincarnation. Sect Leader Wuyou’s final wish is to be able to become a disciple of the Perfected One after reincarnation. I wonder if the Perfected One will agree?”
“Yes, yes. How can I not agree?”
Perfected Du’e’s expression became much better. He frowned and said, “Senior Brother Changgeng… I’ve troubled you.”
“My Brother Sect Master has two more things to ask you, Perfected One. Are you willing to put down some pride and help others vent their anger and seek justice for Sect Leader Wuyou and the disciples who died?”
“Yes!”
Perfected Du’e held his horsetail whisk and said firmly, “Let’s not talk about getting embarrassed. If Ren School needs something, Lord Taibai Jinxing needs something. If you can avenge your disciple, so what if you risk your life? General, what instructions do you have, Lord Taibai Jinxing?”
“Perfected One, please appear in the sect first and identify an elder as the temporary Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect. Also, Brother Sect Master had specially instructed that Li Jing, who has better luck in the sect, use the potential of a Perfected Immortal to delay a powerful Golden Immortal expert for a long time during the battle. There is hope for the future. Perfected One, please nurture this child. Those two matters… Perfected One, please listen.”
Yada-yada.
After Ao Yi said that, Perfected Du’e looked enlightened and immediately agreed.
Soon, Perfected Du’e arrived in the Immortal Du Sect to comfort the elders of the sect. He also appointed an elder who was at the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm to temporarily be the Sect Leader.
After treating the Black Qilin, he took Li Jing in as an official disciple and praised him before leaving the Immortal Du Sect in a hurry.
Then, Perfected Du’e rushed back to Kunlun Mountain. According to Li Changshou’s plan, he began a huge commotion…
He cried, threw a tantrum, and threatened to die.
In less than half a day, Perfected Du’e was wailing in Kunlun Mountain. He was reminiscing about his disciple, Ji Wuyou. With the news of the Western Sect’s mountain gate being smashed, it began to spread throughout the five continents and the trichiliocosm.
Perfected Du’e had been promoting himself for four to five days. He had cried for five immortal banquets, six immortal gatherings, and seven cups of tea. Many good friends were indignant.
After another three to four days, when the heat of the matter subsided, Perfected Du’e shouted the name of the Grand Pure One and rode a cloud towards the spiritual mountain.
Perfected Du’e had more than ten good friends who stopped and persuaded him to not be rash. Going to the spiritual mountain was no different from throwing an egg at a rock.
On the spiritual mountain, the old Daoists were in an emergency discussion. The Deputy Sect Masters were so worried that their hair stood on end…
The disciple of a Saint’s in-name disciple had died in Ren School. Li Changgeng, Lord Taibai Jinxing, smashed their sect without saying anything.
If Perfected Du’e died on their spiritual mountain, wouldn’t the Sect Master of Ren School come personally?!
“What is this? What does the small Immortal Du Sect’s attack have to do with our spiritual mountain? He, the Water God, did not even investigate, ask, or debate. He directly destroyed our sect. The verbal attacks of the Primordial Three Realms are targeted at us! Does the Water God have any evidence that we did it?”
“What’s the use of being indignant now? Why didn’t you say anything previously?”
“It’s not that I couldn’t react. Everyone knows that the Water God’s mystical abilities are all used in his eloquence. Who knew that he would attack directly this time?”
“What is Daoist Du’e doing?”
An old Daoist priest muttered strangely. The old Daoists of the spiritual mountain looked at the clouds outside the mountain.
Perfected Du’e persuaded his friends to leave and landed on the mountainside. He also landed on the golden stairs.
At that moment, there were gaps in the steps. They were naturally created by Li Changshou’s spear.
However, the mountain gate had already returned to its original state in the shortest time possible.
As long as I heal fast enough, I can pretend that nothing happened.
Many old Daoists from the spiritual mountain walked forward together. This time, they saw Perfected Du’e. Moreover, Perfected Du’e did not have the pressure of a Saint behind him. They felt that the sky had cleared and the rain had stopped. They could do it again.
As long as Perfected Du’e approaches the sect, I will show him my power!
At that moment, Perfected Du’e stopped. He was still a distance away from the mountain gate of the spiritual mountain. He stood on the steps and sighed.
“Disciple! Your master, I, am useless!”
The old Daoists from the spiritual mountain were confused.
Perfected Du’e shouted again, “I’m useless!”
After two sounds, Perfected Du’e was already emotional. Tears flickered in his eyes, and he could not help but cry. It simply made those who heard it cry and those who saw it feel sad.
As he cried, a black coffin flew out of Perfected Du’e’s sleeve and landed on the golden stairs. There were two stone tablets beside the coffin. One of the stone tablets said,
“Western Maitreya, return my disciple’s life!”
Another stone tablet said:
“The Grand Pure One is watching this place!”
The old Daoists from the spiritual mountains immediately stopped and did not dare to move forward. They looked at each other and finally chose to remain silent and take a few steps back.
Perfected Du’e raised his head and sighed. He could not help but beat his chest and stomp his feet.
“I only have one disciple who has succeeded. He has already cultivated a Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. Ren School did not enter the tribulation. Why should we be killed by you!?!”
“Return my disciple’s life! I want justice!”
An old Daoist priest could not help but scold, “Don’t slander others without evidence!”
Perfected Du’e did not care. He stood in front of the gate of the spiritual mountain and continued to wail.
The friends who had chased after him silently distanced themselves from him. At the same time, they quickly spread the news of what had happened.
…
In the Great White Palace of the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou looked at the image of the bronze mirror in front of him and pondered carefully for a while. After confirming that Perfected Du’e would not be plotted against, he placed the bronze mirror in front of him and continued to look down at the paper effigies in front of him.
Those were the paper effigies that were destroyed by the other party’s Dharma artifacts and taken back.
Li Changshou checked carefully and realized that the core restrictions on the paper effigy had been destroyed. The talisman restrictions that contained the power of his essence soul and were constantly connected to his main body had been melted.
After returning to the Heavenly Courts from the spiritual mountain, he had been studying this matter.
He had a huge number of paper effigies scattered outside. If he could not use this mystical ability easily, he would be unable to split himself.
Many important matters would be affected. Moreover, he could not let his main body rush over when he encountered something.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and continued to try to add another layer of protection to the restriction.
Ever since the paper effigy’s mystical ability was formed, that mystical ability had helped Li Changshou do too many things. The paper effigy’s mystical ability had failed or been affected. Previously, it had only been affected by the Six Paths of Reincarnation and Saint Nuwa’s mystical ability.
Li Changshou lowered his head and got busy for half a day. He stretched lazily and found the idea of improving the paper effigy.
To be safe, it was time to create another clone.
It was impossible for the incarnation to develop its own consciousness. It was too unstable.
Developing different types of puppet clones and complementing the paper effigy system was the right path.
What about the slaying of the three corpses?
In fact, the Three Corpse Slaying Technique in the Primordial World was a fusion of two Three Corpse Slaying Techniques, which allowed one to enter the “perfect” realm below the Saint realm.
For example, the Grand Pure One had killed a good corpse and turned it into a Grand Supreme Elder. It was purely because his Dao realm was too high and his strength was too strong. The Dao of Three Corpse Slaying was not the only path that the Grand Pure One could take to reach the end of the Dao.
Li Changshou planned to wait until his Great Dao of Equalization was perfected and he could kill the corpses. Then, he would gradually fuse the three corpses with his main body and prevent the three corpses from becoming spirits.
Let’s talk about the current situation.
Li Changshou waited for another two days. When Perfected Du’e left the spiritual mountain, the revenge plan officially entered the second stage.
His paper effigy began to become active, but it was mainly used to send messages and dispatch.
Less than half a month after Li Changshou’s plan began, the spiritual mountain was already full of complaints.
The first to attack was the Immortal Alliance.
The Heavenly Courts directly sent twelve marshals to form a “Inspectorate” team to enter the Immortal Union and supervise the battle between the Immortal Union and the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom.
The two Deputy Alliance Leaders that he had not seen since the Immortal Alliance was established, the Eldest Disciple of Jie School, the Goddess of Golden Spirit, and Zhao Gongming also appeared in the Immortal Alliance with more than twenty experts of Jie School. In the name of the Deputy Alliance Leader, they joined the extermination of the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom.
With the help of the Heavenly Courts and Jie School, the entire Immortal Alliance began to operate at high speed. They temporarily concealed the many disadvantages that had already been revealed. However, in a few days, they had snatched back several cities.
Following that, the Heavenly Courts’ Heavenly Soldiers attacked.
They used the name of hunting down some Anti-Heaven demons in the Aparagodānīya Continent to search the various Cave Abodes in the Aparagodānīya Continent, causing chaos among the Primordial Beasts and ancient remnant demons.
There were also 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers who were practicing array formations beside the spiritual mountain every day.
The dragon race was unwilling to fall behind.
On account of the fact that the Sea Eye of the East Ocean had been destroyed, they sent a large number of battle dragons to help the Heavenly Courts. As long as they confirmed the traces of the Primordial Beast, they would attack and kill.
At that moment, the Aparagodānīya Continent was bustling. The secret factions of the Western Sect could only hide in the vicinity of the spiritual mountain. They were afraid that the dragon race and the Heavenly Courts would clear them out.
Li Changshou decided to take revenge for three years.
In just three years, the situation of the Western Sect would become awkward and troublesome. The prestige of the Western Sect would collapse and the deterrence would be greatly reduced. The experts who were attached to the Western Sect should be wise to make choices.
The third stage of revenge had already been arranged. Li Changshou had written it into the God-Conferment scheme.
There were three steps to the third stage.
The first step was to use the Great God-Conferment Tribulation to destroy the Western Sect.
The second step was to encourage Daoist Wen Jing to absorb more.
The third step was to plan to transform into a Buddha and not give the Western Sect any chance. He would replace the Buddhist Sect and prosper. Then, he would arrange all the important positions in the Buddhist Sect to be disciples of the Dao Sect.
It was Teacher’s plan to transform the beard into Buddha. He was just helping out and making safe and thorough arrangements.
Didn’t he want to teach me a lesson and make me feel afraid?
Li Changshou shook his head slightly.
What else in the world is safer and more satisfying than removing the greatest danger and not leaving any traces behind?
The revenge was not just for the dead living beings of the Immortal Du Sect.
Most of it was to establish the image of the second disciple of Ren School, the ordinary authoritative god of the Heavenly Courts, being magnanimous, repaying evil with kindness, and being more open-minded than the sea.
That way, when others wanted to use their friends and relatives to threaten him, they would have to consider if they could bear the consequences and costs.
Don’t cause trouble for a moment and lose everything afterwards.
Just as he was about to go out to walk around and stretch his muscles, he saw Long Ji riding a cloud over. She stopped in front of the hall and hurriedly entered to report something.
After a while, Li Changshou walked towards the White House with his hands behind his back.
At that moment, the Little Qiong Peak was behind the Great White Hall. It was not more than a thousand feet tall. Naturally, it had used the Mustard Seed Cosmic Array. When the Golden Roc carried the Little Qiong Peak back, the array formation had also worked.
Li Changshou walked past a wall of light that looked like water ripples. The small mountain immediately returned to its original appearance.
At that moment, most of the Little Qiong Peak was hidden in the clouds. Nothing had changed, but there were no more mountains outside.
“Cousin ~”
Xiong Lingli sat up by the lake and waved at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou nodded with a smile. He thought about the armor that the Grand Supreme Elder had promised to refine for her. He did not know when it would be completed.
Ling’e arrived on a cloud in the straw hut. Before she could say anything, Li Changshou asked, “Do you want to dress up again?”
“Huh?”
Ling’e lowered her head and looked at herself. As she had always wanted to make Li Changshou’s heart race, she paid special attention to her usual attire. Only when she was sure that Li Changshou was in seclusion for a long time or that he was not on the mountain would she wear some loose and comfortable training clothes.
Why did Senior Brother suddenly ask that?
Is my face not beautiful enough, or is the tassel dress not making me look slender enough?
Li Changshou smiled and said, “The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother invited you to the Jade Pool for a banquet.”
“Ah!”
Ling’e shivered and asked softly, “Senior Brother, do I have to go?”
“This is the Jade Emperor’s decree,” Li Changshou said seriously. “It’s better not to disobey it. We are both in the Heavenly Courts now. You will have to cultivate here for a long time in the future. It’s better to go over and pay respects.”
“This, this… Alright.”
Ling’e’s face was a little red. She was filled with nervousness. She turned around and hurriedly flew back to the straw hut. She activated the array formation and began to get busy.
Jiu Yushi stayed in the Immortal Du Sect to cultivate and did not ascend to the heavens. That was her choice. Li Changshou naturally respected it.
Should I arrange an immortal position for Ling’e to earn merit?
Forget it, I should not let her be disturbed.
As he was thinking, Li Changshou’s immortal senses suddenly captured Little Silver flying over to the Grand White Palace on a cloud. Before he entered the hall, he shouted, “Senior Brother Changgeng, the Grand Supreme Elder wants you to bring Junior Sister Ling’e over to pay respects!”
Alright, the opportunity for Ling’e to become rich had arrived.
