YM778.TV Chapter 539 - There’s Only One Truth!
Chapter 539: There’s Only One Truth!
It was a sunny day, and the wind above the South Ocean was very noisy.
On the immortal cloud from the east to the west, Zhao Gongming’s immortal senses were focused on Anshui City. He deliberately slowed down the cloud and asked softly,
“Second Sister, why do you have to go to the Sea God Temple? Can’t you just go to Changgeng’s residence?”
“Now that he is being watched, everything we say and do can easily cause him to be passive.”
Yun Xiao said softly, “Let’s go to the Sea God Temple to meet him. If he agrees to this matter, we can meet up in the outer space.”
“That being said...”
Zhao Gongming turned around and looked at the universe behind him. It was as if he could see the Void Cave that Duobao had created. He smiled bitterly and said, “What are you doing here?”
Yun Xiao pursed her lips and was a little speechless. She suddenly frowned and looked in the direction of the Western Heaven.
There, a white cloud carried three figures. As they chatted, they rushed to the mortal city in the distant South Ocean...
The other party seemed to have discovered Yun Xiao and Zhao Gongming at the same time. Both parties did not conceal themselves. The other party’s laughter stopped and faced the two immortals from Jie School.
It was a little awkward.
Fairy Yun Xiao waved her sleeve gently. A white cloud covered her figure, but she expressed her stance.
It was the calmness of the Sea God Sect Master.
The three immortals from Chan School looked at each other. They were all a little hesitant. However, Perfected Taiyi shrugged and took the lead to fly out on a cloud towards the Sea God Temple of Anshui City.
They flew 300 kilometers into Anshui City. Li Changshou’s paper effigy was immediately alarmed.
He, who was preaching under the tree, turned to look at Ling’e. He realized that Ling’e was already surrounded by green lotuses. Her face was as peaceful and pure as when she was asleep.
It was quite good.
I should digest this little bit of Dao Attainment first.
Li Changshou chuckled and closed his eyes. His mind returned to the paper effigy vault under Anshui City. He chose a young paper effigy who was at the late-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm and rushed to the rear hall to wait.
After the Purple Cloud Palace, Li Changshou subconsciously chose the young paper effigy and used a face that was completely different from his main body.
Subconsciously, he wanted to use this to confuse others and conceal the true appearance that he had revealed that day to achieve the effect of mixing reality and illusion.
Steady.
Before he could see Perfected Taiyi’s figure, he heard Perfected Taiyi’s clear voice. “Where is the person who the Dao Ancestor personally decided on?”
Li Changshou put his hands in his sleeves and walked to the door of the rear hall. He smiled and replied, “Senior Brother, did you walk to my small temple?”
“Of course not.”
Perfected Taiyi appeared from the sky. He was dressed in a red robe and walked down with his hands behind his back. He smiled and said, “I was entrusted by Eldest Senior Brother to come here to get to know you.”
Li Changshou could not help but be speechless.
Perfected Tai Yi was really carefree.
Yu Ding and Huang Long landed from behind. Perfected Huang Long followed the tradition of the Primordial World and laughed out loud first to cover up the awkwardness. However, Yu Ding directly said,
“I saw Senior Sister Yun Xiao just now.”
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and looked to his left and right. Fairy Yun Xiao appeared at the beach 50 kilometers away and rode a cloud with Zhao Gongming.
Indeed, the Eldest Senior Brothers of the two sects had “attacked”...
At that moment, when he saw Fairy Yun Xiao, Li Changshou was actually a little disappointed. However, he could understand Fairy Yun Xiao’s difficulties and gently wiped away that disappointment.
Therefore, he waited quietly for a while. When Fairy Yun Xiao and Zhao Gongming arrived, he invited them to enter together and take their seats in the rear hall.
Li Changshou sat in the middle of the main seat and arranged for the Divine Envoys to serve tea. He looked to the side and met Yun Xiao’s eyes.
Seeing that there was a hint of apology in her eyes, Li Changshou’s gloominess dissipated completely. He could not help but be attracted by her face.
Fairies were like poems. They could always be effortlessly beautiful.
Yun Xiao’s dress today seemed to be especially meticulous. At first, it looked like a plain white dress, but on a closer look, one could see that the dress was embroidered with shallow creases and orchids. It was the most compatible with her figure. It did not weaken the natural beauty of a woman, but it did not flow with ordinary charm.
Her long hair was tied up at her temples, and her jade hairpin flowed with immortal light. Two wisps of cloud hair ribbons mixed with her black hair, making her look indescribably lively and elegant.
She is indeed in a dilemma.
*Coughs*
A coughing sound came from the side. Li Changshou turned his head and looked at the originator of the noise, Perfected Taiyi. He looked up at the image of the Taiji Painting on the roof of the rear hall.
“When will this end? I can’t see enough in private.”
Fairy Yun Xiao frowned slightly and swept her gaze over. Perfected Taiyi could not help but shiver.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior Brother Taiyi, do you still know poetry?”
“I can only say that I know a little.” Perfected Taiyi sat upright and lowered his head to cough. “What should we talk about?”
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and chuckled. “Purple Cloud Palace has just decided on the Great Tribulation. We naturally have to talk about it.”
Perfected Yu Ding said, “It seems that the Saints in the Purple Cloud Palace parted on bad terms.”
“We can’t say that we parted on bad terms,” Li Changshou said slowly. “It’s just that our opinions are not uniform. We don’t want to give in too much.”
Li Changshou paused and sighed softly. He smiled and said, “Both Uncle-Masters are worried about their disciples. That’s actually understandable. In my opinion, although the Great Tribulation is about to damage the Dao Sect for the revival of the Heavenly Courts, there are many things to be done.”
Perfected Huang Long’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly asked, “Does Changgeng have a good plan to resolve this calamity?”
“No.” Li Changshou looked regretful. “After Teacher and the two Aunt-Masters left, Grandmaster left me in the Purple Cloud Palace and told me about the Great Tribulation. The great tribulation was destined to happen. The power of living beings in the world had to be weakened. Otherwise, it would trigger an even greater calamity in the future. During the Great God-Conferment Tribulation this time, the Western Sect, Chan School, and Jie School could not be changed. The Immortal Dao factions belonging to the three sects would definitely be injured. However, there is a total amount of damage. As long as you reduce the power of living beings to a safe level, you can delay the true calamity indefinitely.”
Perfected Yu Ding said in a low voice, “The true calamity refers to the Nine Polluted Springs?”
“That’s right.” Li Changshou nodded and agreed. “The situation is more serious than we think. The negative karma of living beings and the world are difficult to bear. If the living beings and the world are at a stage where they can only exist once, that would be the greatest tribulation.”
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and sighed. “Great Tribulation.”
“Ah.” Perfected Huang Long sighed as well. “I wonder if I will fight with Junior Brother Gongming one day.”
“Why don’t we take the initiative to avoid the battle?”
Zhao Gongming said, “If both of us have to go through the calamity, how many people from the two sects will not be affected by the calamity? In such a situation, the casualties will definitely be incalculable.”
“Indeed.” Perfected Huang Long pondered for a while.
Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “We don’t have to be too pessimistic. Isn’t Changgeng here?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
Are you trying to flatter me?
That’s not right. The Grand Yin-Yang Master still does not understand the power of the Great Tribulation.
Li Changshou said, “I can’t do too much. I can only do my best to protect the disciples that my two Uncle-Masters love. I’ll tell Senior Brothers here that Grandmaster can no longer stop the Great Tribulation.”
The few of them immediately looked solemn.
Yun Xiao asked gently, “Did you sign your name on the God roll?”
“No.” Li Changshou shook his head. “It’s still blank. Once you enter the rankings, you will be plagued by calamity and luck. The two Aunt-Masters naturally don’t want to sign the rankings. The two Saints of the Western Sect wanted to sign it, but they were stopped by the Jade Emperor. After all, the Western Sect and the Heavenly Courts have been making things difficult for each other. The Jade Emperor does not want to use a subordinate who only knows how to scheme.”
His words were very obvious.
Perfected Taiyi muttered, “Then, wouldn’t we be able to avoid the God roll if we join the Heavenly Courts first?”
As soon as he said that, the experts from the Dao Sect fell into deep thought again. Then, their gazes landed on Li Changshou.
Zhao Gongming sighed and said, “Brother, you’re really... scheming and far-sighted. You didn’t miss anything.”
Li Changshou smiled calmly.
He could not say that he had just started worrying about the Great God-Conferment Tribulation after cultivating for a few years. He could not say that to Yun Xiao and Ling’e.
He was not afraid of exposing himself. After all, he had already obtained the approval of the Heavenly Dao. He just did not want them to feel strange.
The corners of Perfected Taiyi’s mouth twitched slightly. “Could it be that someone really thinks that our Uncle-Master can’t predict this calamity? It can’t be, right?”
The Taiji Painting on the beam suddenly trembled. Perfected Taiyi’s Dao body tensed up and his hair stood on end. He sat there and did not dare to move.
Li Changshou smiled calmly and shifted the topic to how to avoid the Great Tribulation.
Perfected Taiyi’s mouth could really cause a bloodbath in the Dao Sect.
Yes, when I visit the Tushita Palace later, I’ll have to ask the Grand Supreme Elder to refine a few more Sealed Spheres, the kind that can suppress Taiyi.
After chatting for half a day, the three immortals of Chan School bade farewell and left. Zhao Gongming also used an excuse to leave.
Li Changshou saw that Yun Xiao seemed to have something to say, so he took the initiative to say, “Can you stay and accompany me for a while? Grandmaster has placed such a heavy responsibility on me. I’ve been under too much pressure recently.”
Fairy Yun Xiao nodded gently and looked at him.
After Zhao Gongming left, Li Changshou blinked at Yun Xiao and pointed underground. Yun Xiao nodded helplessly.
Hence, Li Changshou took the initiative to ask Yun Xiao to take a walk in the mortal city. Yun Xiao agreed and left the Sea God Temple with him, stepping into the crowded streets.
They walked past a few alleys and past the teahouses and wine shops. Along the way, Li Changshou took the initiative to speak. Fairy Yun Xiao listened quietly. From time to time, she would pay attention to the masterpieces of mortal craftsmen.
When a breeze blew past, the two of them suddenly turned into two clouds and dissipated at the entrance of an alley. The few disciples of Jie School who were hiding in the hole looked at each other.
Daoist Duobao was puzzled. “Was the illusion just now done by Junior Sister Yun Xiao? It’s really brilliant.”
“From the Dao runes, I don’t think it’s Yun Xiao.” Qiong Xiao mumbled. “After watching for so long, Eldest Senior Brother, you should be relieved. Can’t you let Sister and my brother-in-law be alone?”
“Yes, yes!”
Fairy Bi Xiao said, “Eldest Senior Brother, are you worried about my sister, or do you not trust my brother-in-law?”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit also said, “It’s not appropriate for us to continue following. Let’s go back. Junior Sister Yun Xiao can naturally handle this matter.”
“No.” Daoist Duobao did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Weren’t the three of you the ones who shouted and told us to catch up and take a look?
It was fine if it was Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao. Since ancient times, they have gotten used to being mischievous. Why did the upright Junior Sister Jin Ling behave that way too!?!
“Ah, alright.”
Daoist Duobao waved his hand. “I’ll return to the island and think about how to restrain my fellow disciples and avoid the calamity. Ah, I wonder how many people will die this time. In the ancient times, the Great Magi-Demon War was very lively. It’s our turn now.”
Qiong Xiao smiled and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, don’t worry. Let’s not talk about anything else. How many Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers of Chan School can deal with us?”
“That’s true. However, I can’t let my guard down. After all, the Great Tribulation is a Great Tribulation. It’s not easy to get along with it.”
Duobao sighed softly and rode away.
...
On a hidden beach at the South Ocean.
Two figures were strolling in the forest. Yun Xiao told Li Changshou about the treasures in the Chaos Sea. Li Changshou could not help but ponder.
What does the Grandmaster of Heaven mean?
Why did he ask me to leave the Primordial World temporarily?
You want to use treasures to rope me in?
Is there a need to rope me in?
At this moment, I am already biased towards Jie School. Even if they want to rope me in, they would not dare to forcefully change the matter of the Great Tribulation.
There must be a deeper meaning behind the Grandmaster of Heaven’s actions. It could not be that he had arranged for him to travel with Yun Xiao to improve their relationship, nor could it be that he had arranged for them to find an opportunity to cook rice into dumplings.
How can Yun Xiao be so proactive!?
There was only one truth!
Is Jie School going to do something big? That’s why I asked him to avoid it!
So, what is the Grandmaster of Heaven trying to do?
He changed his tactics and took advantage of the fact that Jie School was at its peak to gather all the disciples and carry the Four Immortal Vanquishing Swords. No matter what, he would defeat the spiritual mountain and suppress the Jade Void?
He inhaled sharply...
That’s possible.
Li Changshou pondered for a while. He originally wanted to ask in more detail, but he saw that Yun Xiao’s face was flushed and her face was filled with anticipation. She pursed her thin lips and could not help but take a few more glances.
Yun Xiao shifted her gaze to the side and said gently, “Why are you looking at me? I haven’t said if I want to go with you.”
“This...”
He suddenly felt a breeze blow past his face, and his Dao heart was filled with a hint of the Grand Pure Dao runes. His spirit platform trembled, and his essence soul trembled slightly. A huge word was about to condense...
“Of course I’m going!”
Li Changshou agreed first. The Grand Pure Dao runes in his heart retreated like a tide.
Yun Xiao blinked and asked softly, “Really?”
“Really!”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Let’s make some preparations. The Chaos Sea is extremely dangerous. Don’t fall into a trap. Let’s set a date for you to go out. When are you free?”
“Of course, of course...”
For some reason, she suddenly panicked and said softly, “I’m always free.”
Li Changshou’s eyes were filled with starlight. He smiled and said, “Then let’s meet at the ends of the East Ocean in half a month. How about that?”
“Yes.”
Yun Xiao bit her lips gently and asked softly, “What kind of clothes do you want to see me wear? What hair accessories do you want?”
Li Changshou said slowly, “Of course. Every type.”
It was a standard answer, a classic trick.
“Nonsense.” Yun Xiao chided. Her body turned into a wisp of smoke and quickly dissipated, leaving Li Changshou’s paper effigy scratching his head and laughing.
The paper effigy escaped into the ground and returned to the underground paper effigy library of Anshui City.
Li Changshou’s main body opened his eyes beside the Little Qiong Peak’s Spirit Lake. He frowned and pondered.
There were two major problems.
Firstly, what plans does Jie School have?
Secondly, how should he ensure his safety in the Chaos Sea?
His teacher had just given him instructions to go to the Chaos Sea. It meant that his teacher had tacitly agreed to the huge scheme of Jie School. Moreover, that treasure was indeed beneficial to him.
Am I not going to care about Jie School? Should I retreat temporarily?
Li Changshou fell into deep thought. Just as he was about to go to the secret chamber to pay his respects to his teacher’s portrait, he felt some changes on the surface of the lake. The Primordial World’s top spiritual treasure, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, and the truly strong Cosmic Ruler slowly rose from the water.
His teacher did not give him the Taiji Painting, which meant that he should not have too much trouble ahead.
Although the Chaos Sea was dangerous, the Chaos Sea near the Primordial World was affected by the Primordial World. Overall, it was stable. With the deterrence of the six Saints, the powerful Godfiends retreated.
The Heavenly Cloud Dao realm was extremely profound. He had just made a breakthrough recently. Even if the two of them joined forces and encountered a ferocious creature like the Kun Peng, they could escape unscathed with the protection of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda.
However, it was still not safe.
Li Changshou quickly made a decision. He looked at Ling’e, who was cultivating beside him. Just as he was about to wake Ling’e up, some ripples appeared on the lake in front of him. The Floating Flame Flag appeared again and enveloped Ling’e.
Teacher Xie!
Li Changshou closed his eyes and began to control the paper effigy to run around.
He first went to look for the Jade Emperor and asked for leave. He said that he wanted to take advantage of the peace before the Great Tribulation to search for treasures in the Chaos Sea.
The Jade Emperor did not make things difficult for Li Changshou. He even specially instructed Li Changshou to make more preparations. Everything in the Chaos Sea was possible and filled with various risks.
The Great Cosmic Shock, the remains of the world, the Connate Godfiend descendants...
Li Changshou agreed with a solemn expression. He placed the safety of the trip first.
Outside the world, the power of the Divine Power was like a decoration.
Once he left the range of the Heavenly Dao, merit and luck would lose their effect.
Everything depended on one’s own strength!
Hence, Li Changshou prepared hundreds of bottles of Spirit Pills and almost took out 80% of his inventory!
He also brought all kinds of small items that he had figured out with him. He did not leave behind any trump cards.
He also went to the Tushita Palace to retrieve the Little God-Slaying Spear that had been refined by the Grand Supreme Elder and had reached a brand new level. He also asked the Grand Supreme Elder to refine the clever armor, Yang Jian’s divine spear, and Perfected Taiyi’s sealed mouth ball.
Li Changshou looked at the stone fragment that Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had given him and brought it with him.
It recorded the method to kill three corpses. He was still a few steps away from using it.
After thinking about it, Li Changshou decided to bring the remaining six drops of blood essence with him.
Previously, he had given Yang Jian a drop of Gonggong’s blood essence and half a drop of the Earth Blood essence for Lingli. Li Changshou had also merged a drop of Gonggong’s blood essence and half a drop of Earth Blood essence.
It made his Dao Body slightly stronger.
Half a month later, at the ends of the world.
Fairy Yun Xiao, who had dressed up quietly, hid in the thin fog.
She had really never tried it. She had spent nearly half a month on matters outside of cultivation. She originally had a stainless Dao Body, but she had deliberately bathed in petals and carefully selected a jade hairpin, a simple but exquisite bun.
The long dress that was specially refined turned from light blue to pure white from bottom to top. The cloud embroidery patterns on the waist were naturally not bad.
She arrived two days in advance and hid her whereabouts. She waited quietly. The immortals who came and went could not see through her mystical abilities.
There was still half a day before the appointed time.
At that moment, it was naturally the time Li Changshou had mentioned the “half a month”.
Fairy Yun Xiao recalled the words her two sisters had said before they left. She recalled the words that the Goddess of Golden Spirit had secretly told her before she pulled her to the side. She could not help but fall into a daze.
She was really...
Huh? His aura? He’s already close.
Fairy Yun Xiao was shocked. She hurriedly looked up and saw a tall and slender figure slowly condensing from the green smoke in front of the stone tablet.
It was Li Changshou.
She was delighted and her eyes lit up. She immediately wanted to release her mystical ability and appear.
The green smoke did not dissipate. It... condensed into two figures...
“Teacher, the Golden Roc will transform into its main body.”
“Water God, are you sure that Fairy Yun Xiao asked you to go to the Chaos Sea to search for treasures or other matters?”
Li Changshou nodded calmly and sighed. “I don’t know either. However, I’ll have to trouble the Golden Roc and Mr. Bai later.”
The Golden-Winged Roc and Bai Ze agreed in unison. The former immediately transformed into the main body of the Golden Roc and flew into the sky to be on guard. Bai Ze also transformed into the form of an auspicious beast. His body quickly shrank like a cat.
Li Changshou was satisfied with that.
The five elements in the Chaos Sea could not be distinguished. His escape technique was limited. It was abnormally important to have a mount that could run fast. The Golden Roc was the best choice. If he encountered the Kun Peng, he might be able to compete with it in terms of foot strength.
Mr. Bai’s mystical abilities were rather powerful. Moreover, Bai Ze also said that his mystical abilities could be used in the Chaos Sea. That made Li Changshou feel much more at ease.
There was a dangerous warning system.
The mobility of the Chaos Sea was guaranteed.
Now, all he had to do was wait for Fairy Yun Xiao to arrive and start a thrilling adventure in the Chaos Sea!
As a man, he had to take good care of his female companion, especially in such a dangerous environment.
Li Changshou smiled calmly and steadily. Yun Xiao, who was hiding at the side, could not help but hold her forehead. She did not know if she should appear and agree.
