Chapter 188 I Understood, Understood Everything!
A moment ago, in the side hall beside the Immortal Du Hall.
Golden Immortal of the Immortal Du Sect, who was coughing up blood, and Daoist Wuyou, the Sect Master, suddenly sensed an extraordinary Dao rune that disappeared within the mountain-protecting array formation.
Although the Dao runes disappeared very quickly, it was still captured by Daoist Wuyou who was not in seclusion.
After careful thought, he realized that the Dao runes were extraordinary. They seemed to contain the truths of Heaven and Earth. They were much higher than the Dao runes of the three sects’ experts at the Three Sects’ Meet that Ji Wuyou had once sensed...
Huh?
Ji Wuyou put down the soup ladle in his hand and stopped cooking the immortal fire. He lowered his head and coughed.
As the Sect Leader of Ren School, he naturally would not make a fuss over such a small matter. It was just a wisp of Dao runes. He might have accidentally obtained some treasure from a disciple of a blessed sect.
It was natural and casual. It was not hot or angst. It could be left alone without doing anything. That was from the Sect Leader of a qualified sect of Ren School...
Boom!
What is going on?
All of a sudden, wind and clouds surged outside the Immortal Du Sect. A vast heavenly might suddenly appeared in the direction of the Little Qiong Peak. It was a powerful heavenly might that suppressed every part of the sect!
*Coughs*
Ji Wuyou almost vomited blood. He stared at the Little Qiong Peak through the walls. The powerful immortal senses of the Golden Immortal realm immediately probed, but they were dispersed by the heavenly might! This situation...
Such overbearing heavenly might...
Ji Wuyou suddenly recalled the scene of his Golden Immortal Tribulation a long time ago. However, when he transcended the tribulation back then, the heavenly might was not as strong. If this was a Golden Immortal Tribulation, it would definitely not be an ordinary Golden Immortal Tribulation! Is this the Immortal Tribulation of Wang Qing?
Why is it on the Little Qiong Peak?
However, the heavenly might came and left quickly. It disappeared shortly after it appeared as if it was just to scare him.
Ji Wuyou wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and walked to the window sill. His body flew out like a feather and turned into a ray of golden light that rushed towards the Little Qiong Peak.
Although Ji Wuyou practiced inaction, which was in line with Ren School, and adequately respected the personal freedom of the Qi Refinement cultivators in every sect, he still wanted to take a look and ask them what had happened.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Wuyou arrived above Little Qiong Peak.
He looked down and saw the array formations surrounding the Little Qiong Peak. He saw that the person standing in front of the Pill Chamber...
“Little Xuanya?”
At that moment, Youqin Xuanya remained standing helplessly. Beside her, a pure wave of immortal power rapidly dissipated in all directions, transforming into Primordial Energy. Ji Wuyou looked down and frowned.
The source of the immortal power seemed to be the reclining chair. There was a thick paper effigy on the reclining chair, and the paper effigy seemed to have been destroyed.
Xuanya, paper effigy? In the middle of the night, inside the array formation of the Pill Chamber Array of Little Qiong Peak?
Ji Wuyou suddenly understood something, but he was even more puzzled...
Could it be that Little Xuanya, who had just entered the Perfected Immortal realm, had somehow destroyed this mysterious paper effigy and triggered the heavenly might just now?
Why... is it so chaotic?
“Ahem, I really have to ask them properly.”
At that moment, figures flew out from the various peaks of the Immortal Du Sect. The elders and Peak Leaders immediately rushed over to meet up with the Sect Leader.
Ji Wuyou was about to descend to the Pill Chamber when he heard a voice.
The person said, “I, Li Changshou, a disciple, would like to report to the Sect Leader that I had stirred up Heaven’s Might just now. I was almost in trouble, but now I am alright. The situation is urgent. I am willing to report the matter to you, Sect Master. Please tell the experts in the sect not to gather, lest the situation gets out of control!”
Ji Wuyou frowned slightly. As the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, why would he dismiss all the elders who had gone to investigate just because a disciple sent a message?
However, Li Changshou sent a voice transmission again.
“Sect Leader, do you still remember... that sixth-grade Spirit Pill?”
Suddenly, Ji Wuyou’s eyes lit up. This time, he really understood something. He immediately sent a voice transmission to all directions.
“Everyone, there’s no need to come over. There’s a small problem with the treasure I gave Xuanya. Yes, it’s a small problem.”
“Yes, Sect Leader,” everyone answered in unison from all directions.
Not long after, the figures returned to the various peaks. Ji Wuyou stood under the starry sky and set up an immortal power barrier on the Little Qiong Peak before slowly descending
At that moment, Li Changshou was standing in the secret underground chamber of the Little Qiong Peak. He frowned and thought quickly.
How... do I go about this?
Perhaps it was because Li Changshou’s mind was tense and he was thinking too quickly, a few options appeared in his heart.
A: Use a human Dharma treasure exclusive to Youqin Xuanya.
Use the usual method to display a small number of trump cards. C: Convince and educate
D: Take out the identity card of the Little Daoist Master of Ren School...
Those options kept popping up in Li Changshou’s mind, but after some deliberation, he rejected them.
Youqin Xuanya’s cultivation level was only at the Perfected Immortal realm. The upright Youqin Xuanya was willing to cooperate with him even though he was full of nonsense. The Sect Leader would not believe her lies!
He had no choice. His acting skills were too bad.
Should I expose a portion of my trump cards so that the other party would think that I know the truth?
Although this method is good, it has to be applied according to the situation. The Heavenly Might from earlier must have made the Sect Leader extremely suspicious. I have to properly explain the origin of the Heavenly Might!
Attack the Sect Leader?
Although I had just severed my cultivation, consolidated my Dao base and the Sect Leader’s pressure on me seems very faint, but... Wouldn’t I be incurring a huge loss over a trivial matter?
I might as well just reveal my cards.
Li Changshou smiled bitterly in his heart...
Now, he had just deceived Daoist Wen and gained the admiration and trust of the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts. He had gotten involved in the matters of the Three Xiao Immortals and was secretly competing with the Western Sect...
If Li Changshou, the disciple of the Immortal Du Sect was exposed to be the Little Daoist Master of Ren School and the Sea God of the South Ocean because of the Sect Leader, there would definitely be endless hidden dangers.
That layer of protection could not be easily lost.
In particular, the Sect Leader who was a Golden Immortal, could not be controlled.
There was no other way. This time, he could only... choose option E! He would reveal his trump card to a minimum!
At that moment, just as the Sect Leader landed in front of the Pill Chamber, a complete train of thought surfaced in Li Changshou’s mind. He immediately raised his hand and took out the array-controlling jade token.
He activated the 36 array foundations and activated the core array formation on the Little Qiong Peak.
Therefore, he used the array formation to divert the Sect Leader’s attention.
“Huh?”
The frown on Daoist Wuyou’s forehead deepened as he watched the mist suddenly appear around the Pill Chamber.
This array formation seemed rather famous.
Youqin Xuanya immediately bowed. “Greetings, Grandmaster.” “Yes.” Daoist Wuyou nodded slightly. “What happened here just now?”
Youqin Xuanya pondered for a while and felt a little confused.
“I’m here to look for Senior Brother Changshou. Senior Brother Changshou suddenly gained enlightenment and sat on the reclining chair. Suddenly... he just...” Daoist Wuyou asked, “What happened?” Youqin Xuanya said softly, “He deflated and quickly withered... and turned into this paper effigy.”
“Hahaha! Ahem!”
Daoist Wuyou was also amused by Youqin Xuanya’s description.
He raised his hand and grabbed the paper effigy. He observed it carefully and smiled. “This is a mystical ability called the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts. However, this paper effigy is somewhat unusual...” “Disciple Li Changshou greets Sect Leader!” An exclamation came from the Pill Chamber. Ji Wuyou and Youqin Xuanya looked up, only to see a wisp of smoke flying out from the side of the black furnace and transforming into Li Changshou. Li Changshou quickly walked forward and bowed deeply to Ji Wuyou with a Dao salute.
“Why did you come out from below?” Ji Wuyou asked with a smile.
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “I just realized something. I was afraid that I would disturb Junior Sister Youqin, so I placed a paper effigy here and went underground to meditate.”
Ji Wuyou did not ask further. He focused on the key question. “Changshou, what happened just now?”
Li Changshou frowned, lowered his head, and pressed his lips together. His voice was filled with hesitation and helplessness as he suppressed his impulse. He whispered, “Sect Leader, I don’t dare to say it...”
“Just say it. Why don’t you dare to say it?”
Ji Wuyou put his hands behind his back and asked calmly, “What else can I not accept?”
Li Changshou sighed when he saw the Sect Leader’s stern gaze. He took out a jade token from his sleeve and handed it over.
Ji Wuyou wanted to take it, but after taking a closer look, he immediately took half a step back!
The Sect Leader’s face instantly turned pale. He hurriedly Dao saluted the jade token and broke out in cold sweat... There were Dao runes of the Grand Pure One of Ren School on the jade token!
He had only sensed those Dao runes on a jade token that his master, Perfected Du’e, held.
That jade token was the core Dao bearing of the Immortal Du Sect-the Grand Supreme Inaction Sutra!
Li Changshou held the jade token and hurriedly asked, “Why are you bowing, Sect Leader?”
“Changshou! Don’t tell anyone what I just said!”
As Ji Wuyou spoke, he looked at Youqin Xuanya. “Xuanya too. Don’t tell anyone that I said that I can accept anything!
He started coughing violently...
“Xuanya, don’t just stand there. Come over and bow to the jade token!”
Youqin Xuanya was instantly confused. However, she still rushed forward and bowed to the jade token.
This jade token was naturally the ‘Great Pure Dao’.
Ji Wuyou wanted to say something but hesitated. At that moment, he was both shocked and full of suspicion. Looking at this young disciple who had yet to become an immortal, he suddenly felt a little...
He felt like he could not see through his background.
Ji Wuyou said, “Changshou, you and the Great Daoist Master...”
“Sect Leader, there are some things that the Great Daoist Master has warned me against spouting nonsense about.”
Li Changshou sighed softly. “The Heavenly Might from just now was created by me when I opened this Dao letter. There seemed to be a mistake when I comprehended it, causing the Dao runes to fluctuate. The Heavenly Might seems to be warning me not to continue comprehending in that direction...” “So that’s the case.” Ji Wuyou suddenly understood.
Then, Ji Wuyou looked at Li Changshou with a burning gaze. “Changshou, what’s this about?”
“Sect Leader, the Great Daoist Master has instructed...”
“I understand, I understand.” Ji Wuyou nodded immediately. “Quickly put this away. If you have to study it next time, inform me in advance so that I will protect you. Otherwise, you will create such a commotion again. Changshou, what is your relationship with the Great Daoist Master? Is it not convenient for you to disclose this?”
Li Changshou looked at Youqin Xuanya. The latter was already drowned by the fog. Her ponytail was swaying gently, and she was wearing an icy-blue dress. She was filled with puzzlement.
She had no idea what the Sect Leader and her Senior Brother Changshou were talking about.
“Sect Leader, about this, I’m with the Great Daoist Master.” Li Changshou deliberated for a while. “I’ve only met them a few times. I don’t think they have any special relationship.”
No special relationship?
Ji Wuyou smiled mysteriously and said, “Got it. Since that’s the case, I won’t ask further.”
Then, Ji Wuyou took out a jade token and handed it to Li Changshou.
“Changshou, focus on your cultivation. If anything happens, you can tell me, no matter how major it may be. I will leave now. Remember, if you study this treasure again, you must inform me in advance.”
This...
The Sect Leader is surprisingly easy to deceive...
Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Yes.”
Ji Wuyou looked at Youqin Xuanya and reminded her, “Xuanya, you and I know about what happened today. You must not let the fourth person know.”
“Yes, Grandmaster!”
Not only is he easy to deceive, he even helped me settle Junior Sister Youqin?
Li Changshou felt inexplicably touched. He looked at the Sect Leader’s back view as he left in a carefree manner and felt a little emotional.
If there’s a chance, I should introduce the Sect Leader to the Great Daoist Master.
A good person like him is really...
Youqin Xuanya looked at Li Changshou and whispered, “Senior Brother Changshou?”
“Junior Sister Youqin, wait a little longer.” Li Changshou smiled bitterly and looked at Youqin Xuanya. “I’ll settle some matters first before explaining to you.”
“Senior Brother Changshou, you should be busy.” Youqin Xuanya immediately said, “I’ll wait for you here.”
“Yes.” Li Changshou nodded. This time, he closed his eyes and quickly activated the paper effigy under the South Ocean Sea God Temple. He hurriedly said to Fairy Yun Xiao, “I’m fine.”
In the temple, the beautiful and overly generous Fairy Yun Xiao had already spread her skirt and sat cross-legged on the ground. She began to use her immortal power to save the paper effigy that had been broken by the Dao runes of the Saint...
He understood!
After Li Changshou said that, Ji Wuyou understood everything!
Previously, Ji Wuyou had been wondering why the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du would ask his master, Perfected Du’e, to pass him a sixth-grade Spirit Pill and ask him to pass it on to his little disciple, Li Changshou of the Little Qiong Peak.
From the looks of it, there was a deeper meaning to that matter.
The Saint’s sutras must be very important.
Although it was not rare to see a sixth-grade Spirit Pill, a sixth-grade Yang Spirit Pill was really unusual!
Clearly, the Great Daoist Master was very worried about whether Li Changshou had a future...
Who would be nervous and pay attention to that issue?
He showed so much care and concern and even gave him the sutra written by a Saint. Even if he were to cultivate in the wrong direction, he would be warned by the Heavenly Might. After careful deductions, I did not obtain anything. The heavenly secrets have been concealed seamlessly!
This is probably a treatment that not even personal disciples can receive!
Previously, when the Immortal Du Sect suffered a calamity, Master Daoist Du’e had clearly appeared to help us out. The Great Daoist Master had even brought Master to Golden Ao Island to seek justice... Today, I found a reasonable explanation for all these questions!
There is probably no mistake. This Little Changshou should be... the direct descendant of the Great Daoist Master. He might even be an illegitimate son!
“Ahem, ahem!”
Ji Wuyou coughed a few times and smiled. He returned to the small room beside the main hall and sat on the round chair, lost in his thoughts.
He definitely could not bring that matter to the public. The Great Daoist Master would definitely not like it to be publicized.
In the future, he, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, could only secretly take care of Little Changshou. He would not ask for any merit, but he wanted to be free of sin...
