Chapter 637: The Celestial Thearch’s Teacher

Why did Li Changshou feel a little regretful?

He still could not let Jiang Shang become a disciple of the Jade Emperor.

It was clearly blocked by the Heavenly Dao.

Wouldn’t that mean that after his old master reincarnated, he would not be fated to become an immortal?

According to the script of the Heavenly Dao, Jiang Shang can only enjoy the blessings of others and not obtain immortality. Is that so?

This…

Lu Ya had died. Although the Seven Arrows Nail Book was strangely unable to be located, according to the original God-Conferment Scroll, it was impossible for the plot of “Lu Ya offering the Nail Book, Zi Ya cursing Gongming” to appear again.

He could not be careless.

In the original Great God-Conferment Tribulation, Jiang Ziya and Zhao Gongming had clearly lost.

Above the Jiang Residence, on a white cloud, under thousands of stars,

Li Changshou stood behind Quan Dong and looked at Guang Chengzi’s back. He sighed slightly.

It was not that he did not want to see Senior Brother Duobao. It was just that Duobao had dug a hole and left. He could not find any traces at all.

In the Jiang Residence, the fairy who was “guarding” bowed to the sky and returned to her residence to rest.

Quan Dong heaved a sigh of relief. “Changgeng, just walk around.”

Li Changshou smiled and nodded.

“I have been hiding and did not show up to meet Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. It was really because the Goddess had restrained me and made me sever my karma with Jiang Shang. That was my plan. It’s just that I placed some paper effigies here to prevent Jiang Shang from being captured and threaten the little god…”

“Hey!”

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and smiled. “You have your difficulties. I-I am aware.”

Li Changshou bowed deeply.

“Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!”

Then, the two of them strolled in the sky above the human city known as Shenhua City. They were accompanied by the starlight and the night sky.

Quan Dong smiled and said, “The battle between the Chan School and Jie School is finally going to be revealed.”

“The killing tribulation has arrived,” Li Changshou said slowly. “In the face of the will of the Heavenly Dao, even if living beings cultivate to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, they will find it difficult to resist. They have no choice but to fall out.”

“The Heavenly Dao is ultimately for the stability of the world.”

Quan Dong smiled and said. The two of them looked at each other and laughed.

The topic of the two kings and ministers began to revolve around the Chan School and Jie School. The matters mentioned went from the conflict between the teachings to the disagreements between the two Saints back then.

The two of them chatted about whatever came to mind. At that moment, there were no taboos or restrictions. With the protection of the power of the Heavenly Dao, they would not be heard by the Saint.

Tonight, the “meeting of the Three Sects” that happened by chance in the backyard of the Jiang Family was the same as the discussion of becoming a god in the Purple Cloud Palace. They parted on bad terms.

The conflict between the two parties was almost irreconcilable.

That was simple.

Chan School wanted Jie School to resist the Great Tribulation. Hundreds of immortals of Jie School would die, which would resolve Chan School’s predicament.

The bottom line of Jie School was to distribute the spots to deal with the calamity according to the ratio. Whether the fallen could go to the Heavenly Courts to become immortals aside, the number of deaths on both sides would be decided first. Everything would be presided over by the Saint.

Of course, those were just the thoughts of the core disciples. They could not be said openly.

According to the judgment of the Saints, the Great Tribulation should not threaten the personal disciples of the various sects. There were more than ten people from Chan School and Jie School who could not die.

Among them, some were from the Western Sect.

Since Jie School had the strength to fight two enemies at once, there would definitely be a situation of one versus two. That, in turn, made the conflict between Chan Zhuan become more and more intense.

Guang Chengzi was smart, but Daoist Duobao was not stupid.

In Li Changshou’s opinion, the two Eldest Senior Brothers were fighting for Jiang Shang today because they were testing each other. When they realized that they could not compromise, they did not say anything.

He had to give up on his fantasies.

Li Changshou had made arrangements for so many years, but he had never thought that the two sects could reconcile.

Life and death were no small matter.

In the Dao Sect, which sect would use the lives of their disciples to exchange for the affinity, praise, and praise of other sects?

He received a warning from the Taiji Painting.

The Pangu Banner warned.

Chaos Bell… The Immortal Vanquishing Array warned.

The Great God-Conferment Tribulation was both the will of the Heavenly Dao and the needs of the world. It was also the focus of the conflict to resolve the debt the Saint Sect owed to the main character of the world, the human race.

The reason was planted when the Three Pure Ones split up.

Therefore, from the beginning, Li Changshou had focused on how to save people and not how to resist the Great Tribulation.

He had always known himself well.

“Changgeng, tell me…”

Quan Dong suddenly muttered, “Today, Guang Chengzi and Duobao fought for Jiang Shang purely because Jiang Shang is the reincarnation of your master, or have the two sects already discovered that Jiang Shang is also an important figure in the upcoming calamity?”

The Jade Emperor’s behavior of peeping at the “answer” every day is really…

It’s well done.

Li Changshou pondered carefully.

In that case, the Jade Emperor might be able to reveal some risks of the Heavenly Dao arrangements to him in time. It would be best if there were some but it would not be worse if there were none.

Li Changshou said, “Senior Brother Duobao’s goal is simple. I can’t see through Senior Brother Guang Chengzi.”

“Yes?”

Quan Dong smiled and said, “Don’t underestimate the Saint. The Grandmaster of Heaven’s abilities are quite impressive.”

“Well…” Li Changshou could only smile bitterly.

Uncle-Master Tongtian’s personality…

Compared to the other Saints, the Grandmaster of Heaven had many outstanding attributes and some shortcomings. If one had to summarize, it could only be described with one word.

He was full of vigor.

He definitely did not dare to say that out loud.

Although the Grandmaster of Heaven liked to mingle with his disciples, if he really said that, he would most likely be “beaten up” by the Grandmaster of Heaven…

Quan Dong suddenly sighed and looked a little helpless.

He said, “The Great Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Courts, the three sects, and the living beings are vast. Where does peace exist?”

Li Changshou said warmly, “Your Majesty, you’re testing me.”

“What did I test you on?”

“Your Majesty, what you are asking is actually the divine right of Little God, Lord Taibai Jinxing.”

Li Changshou said slowly, “From an equilibrium perspective, peace and chaos are also balanced. If there is always peace, the selfish desires of mortals would keep expanding. They will be dissatisfied and if they do not get what they want, they would gradually fall into chaos. After being in chaos for too long, mortals would not be able to eat or wear clothes. Once they calmed down, stability would become a trend. Taibai Jinxing is the master of change. His Majesty has ordered me to control killing. This huge star is also known as the planet of enlightenment by mortals. All kinds of meanings should be in the midst of the chaos and peace. Your Majesty, you asked me to be this Taibai Jinxing back then. I naturally understand your deeper meaning.”

Quan Dong smiled calmly and nodded at Li Changshou.

“It’s good that you know. My efforts were not in vain.”

After saying that, he turned around and continued walking, afraid that he would reveal any flaws.

Li Changshou sighed again.

“Although that’s the case and the logic is the same, what’s hidden behind that logic are lives.

The Heavenly Dao was heartless, so the world could be stable.

The decline of the selfish desires of living beings corresponded to the rise and fall of the Nine Polluted Springs. Everything was preordained and seamless.

Your Majesty, what do you think the order established by the Heavenly Courts is for?”

Quan Dong blinked and suddenly realized…

He had been taught.


The minister that he trusted the most was still trying to reason with him.

Quan Dong’s first reaction was, “Changgeng, are you really leaving?”

“Hasn’t this matter been decided…?”

“Alright.”

Quan Dong’s expression was rather gloomy. He walked in the night sky with his hands behind his back. As he thought about everything that had happened in the past three years, he felt enlightened.

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation said seriously, “The order of the Heavenly Courts is to maintain the stability of the Three Realms. The most important and direct effect was to strengthen the Heavenly Dao and increase the power of the Heavenly Dao. Then, this order can suppress the selfish desires of mortals, restrain the actions of living beings, avoid the oppression and exploitation of immortals towards mortals, and protect the rules of the world. Of course, there are also external defenses against the demons.”

Li Changshou immediately gave him a thumbs-up. “Your Majesty, your understanding is really thorough.”

Quan Dong smiled.

“However, if I can add some scraps and some unimportant details, it will be even more perfect.”

Quan Dong’s face darkened instantly. He glared at Li Changshou. “Sir, what do you think?”

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare.”

Li Changshou said he was scared but his hands were hidden in his sleeves. He smiled and said, “It must be you. I’m still considered young among the immortals.”

“Show off! Tell me quickly! Otherwise, I’ll deduct your merit!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Can we not mention this?

The Golden Body of Merit would cause permanent pain in his lifespan. He might not be able to recover even if he balanced the Heavenly Dao.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Actually, there’s just one thing. The order can’t suppress the private desires of mortals. Instead, it can create a stable environment to ease and guide them. It will reduce the impact of the selfish desires on other living beings and not attack the order itself.”

“Yes?”

Quan Dong frowned and said, “I really don’t understand. Changgeng, tell me in detail.”

“Since you asked sincerely!”

“Huh?”

“I’ll report it to you in detail.”

Li Changshou made an inviting gesture and landed in the forest outside the city with Quan Dong. He added a bonfire and brewed two cups of tea. He explained in detail the blueprint of the development of the Heavenly Courts that he had already thought of.

The stars slowly rotated.

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation listened rather seriously and nodded from time to time. When he did not understand, he would reveal a puzzled expression. When he encountered some details, he would ask in detail.

“In most cases, the selfish desires of living beings can be explained as the needs of living beings. To mortals, needs are divided into four levels…”

This one was…

The Lecturer from earth, the Primordial World, led the Heavenly Emperor. He wanted the theory of the level to be a miraculous technique!

The Jade Emperor was definitely not a foolish person.

Li Changshou gave some guidance, and the Jade Emperor began to draw inferences. He even gave different ideas.

“Changgeng! Why can’t we design their needs for living beings?”

Quan Dong’s eyes were filled with light. Li Changshou was suddenly alarmed.

Entertainment to death.

Quan Dong was already “happy”. He smiled and said, “To put it simply, it’s to make the living beings not idle. When they are free, they will give the living beings enough fun to distract them. For example, the live broadcast system that you designed. We only need to guide the living beings and let them generate more needs other than basic needs. Wouldn’t we be able to separate the selfish desires of living beings and reduce the threat that living beings pose to the world? Amazing, Changgeng!”

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, this line of thought… is wrong, but there are some drawbacks.”

“Oh? What kind of disadvantage?”

“This is actually to weaken the overall strength of living beings and reduce the upper limit that living beings can reach. It also allows living beings to maintain a happy thought process.”

Li Changshou deliberated for a while and said seriously, “However, Your Majesty, in the past, living beings gradually lost their vitality. Every day, they only move for joy. They don’t know suffering and don’t think about advancing. The upper limit is getting lower and lower… The Heavenly Courts might not have any immortals to use.”

“That’s right.” The Jade Emperor’s incarnation nodded slowly. “It’s indeed unconscionable to design it like that. After all, the Heavenly Courts exist for living beings and not for the world. If the world is empty and all living beings are walking corpses, there is no need for the Heavenly Courts to exist.”

Quan Dong paused and looked up at the night sky. He pursed his lips.

Do I not care about my pride?

Previously, he wanted to say that he would accept Jiang Shang and let Jiang Shang become the Heavenly Emperor’s disciple. However, the Dao Ancestor struck him with lightning, making him feel very awkward.

He was secretly angry.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and continued to draw the blueprint of the Heavenly Courts’ development after he left.

The insects in the forest chirped, and the flames of the bonfire kept jumping. The two men, who could affect the situation of the Primordial World to a certain extent, became happier the more they chatted. The more they drank, the more energetic they became.

In the pavilion of the Three-Immortal Island.

Daoist Duobao sighed and sat on the stone bench. He was a little lost in thought.

The eight disciples were already there, but Li Changshou’s main body had gone to Yun Xiao’s boudoir to rest. His attention was not on that place.

Daoist Duobao said that during his trip to the South Continent, his meeting with Guang Chengzi, and the short exchange of words, the Goddess of Golden Spirit did not react. Instead, Qiong Xiao kept scolding Chan School softly.

Yun Xiao had already arrived. After all, it was a matter of discussing the sect. It had nothing to do with Li Changshou.

The Goddess of Turtle Spirit sighed softly. “Ah, looks like we can’t avoid fighting Chan School.”

Goddess Wudang said slowly, “The problem now is that we don’t know how many immortals the three sects have to kill in the Great Tribulation.”

“It should not be fixed.” Zhao Gongming hugged his arms. His vermillion armor reflected the starlight, and his expression was rather solemn. “The death of top experts and the death of ordinary disciples is very different from the reduction in the power of living beings. What I’m worried about now is that the Heavenly Dao will attack us in order to maintain the stability of the world.”

Duobao shook his head and said, “There’s no need to be too worried. The core disciples of the Great Tribulation are not in danger. It was a consensus reached by the Saints in the Purple Cloud Palace back then. Grandmaster agreed. By the way, how are Wen Zhong and Huo Ling in the South Continent?”

“There’s no progress.” The Goddess of Golden Spirit said gently, “After they go to the South Continent, they don’t know what to do. We are all outsiders. How can we understand the rules of the Shang Nation? At most, I’ll get the king of the Shang Nation here!”

“That’s the current human emperor. Don’t mess around.”

Daoist Duobao rubbed his glabella and sighed. He stood up and said, “I’ll report this to Master and see if there’s any way. Yun Xiao?”

“Senior Brother, please speak.”

“I know that you don’t want to implicate Changgeng, but there’s something that you can do.” Daoist Duobao smiled and said, “Go and ask Changgeng how our Dao Sect can make arrangements to cause trouble for the Western Sect. It seems that Jin Ling is right. The most important thing now is to catch the Western Sect off guard.”

Yun Xiao pondered quietly and nodded in agreement.

At the same time…

Behind the Jade Void Palace, in the Waterfall Pavilion.

Seven to eight experts of Chan School gathered at Guang Chengzi’s residence. At that moment, they had already heard Guang Chengzi mention Daoist Duobao. All of them frowned.

Guang Chengzi was deep in the round chair. His eyes seemed to be dim and lifeless.

The experts of Chan School who knew him knew that Guang Chengzi was focused on thinking about the problem.

After a long while, Guang Chengzi slowly said, “I’m afraid Jie School is going to attack the Western Sect.”

Chi Jingzi hurriedly asked, “What do you mean?”

“Firstly, the old Daoist priest of the Western Sect is hiding beside Jiang Shang. This is already a taboo. Secondly, Junior Brother Changgeng had been advocating this since hundreds of years ago. Thirdly, I will not give in to Fellow Daoist Duobao…”

Perfected Taiyi pursed his lips and was about to speak when he was frightened by Perfected Yu Ding’s gaze.

Perfected Huang Long asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, must we join forces with the Western Sect?”

“Otherwise?”

Guang Chengzi smiled bitterly. “What right do we have to exchange lives with Jie School? The Great Tribulation is imminent. I can already smell the blood in the mortal world of the South Continent. There is no chance for us to find a solution that will give us the best of both worlds. Since Teacher wants us to discuss it ourselves, we have to make a decision now! Are we going to use the Western Sect to exhaust the strength of Jie School or join forces with Jie School to destroy the Western Sect and anger the Saints of the Western Sect to Jie School? Actually, there is no need to guide him. The key to the problem now is how we should express our stance if Jie School does anything next.”

The Daoists fell silent.

Huang Long asked softly, “Is it possible that Jie School and the Western Sect are working together to suppress us?”

“That’s good.” Perfected Taiyi sneered. “If Jie School is half as smart as you, Senior Brother, I reckon that they would have long dominated the Primordial World and stepped on the Heavenly Courts.”

Perfected Huang Long immediately smiled in embarrassment and whispered, “Junior Brother Taiyi, don’t praise me like that. I only had a sudden thought and gained something.”

The experts of Chan School were speechless.

The Great Yin-Yang Language was useless against honesty.

Perfected Yu Ding said, “Where is Changgeng now? Why don’t we discuss it with him?”

Guang Chengzi casually tapped his hand and used the Cloud Mirror Art. However, a sea of clouds appeared.

Three-Immortal Island?

Guang Chengzi thought for a moment and tapped his fingers a few times. A vast ocean appeared in the cloud mirror, as well as a vast icy plain floating not far away.

In the middle of the scene, two blurry figures stood side by side, as if they were looking for something.

Perfected Yu Ding raised his hand and pointed at the cloud mirror. Li Changshou’s voice sounded from the cloud mirror.

“I am Li Changgeng, the righteous god of the Heavenly Courts. Hurry up and appear!”
