My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 440 No, You Are Not Happy

ME In the Netherworld, at the top of the mountain beside the Sky Pass in the east of Fengdu City, that was the secret garden of the two Soul-Reaping Marshals when they were just fishing. It was the place where the two Magi came from the ancient times and witnessed the progress of their brotherhood.

The kind that did not change. The light breeze blew past the soft mane on the horse’s face. The gray cloud passed by the ox’s black gem-like eyes. The two of them were lying on the top of the cliff with their arms behind their backs. They did not have anything to worry about. The days of not having to lead a team out to carry the coffin were just so boring and leisurely. Moreover… It was lonely. ME “Horse, what happened to the Primordial World recently? Over the past ten years, the Netherworld has been trembling every day. Moo.”

“Didn’t the Grand Magus say that there’s going to be a great calamity? Neigh.”

“Let’s recruit some people in advance. Who knows when the great calamity will erupt. We will be too busy here.”

Horse-face scoffed. “Who are you looking for? It’s not that easy to be a Soul-Reaping Envoy. You have to scare those mortal souls.”

ME “Sigh, if only the Water God can give us some ideas…

I heard that the Water God is injured. I wonder if he is well.”

As Ox-head spoke, he suddenly blinked and supported his headgear to get up. “Why did you only think of it now! Quick! Let’s get some specialties from the Netherworld and visit the Water God!” ME Horse-face shook his head calmly. “Is it that easy to meet the Water God?

He is the disciple of the Saint of the Ren School, the authoritative god of the Heavenly Courts. I heard that the Jade Emperor was angry because of the Water God and almost killed the demons…”

ME “That might not be the case.” Ox-head chuckled. “Let’s use the name of the Netherworld to visit. Why would the Water God meet us? The Heavenly Courts can’t stop us, right?

Think about it. When the Water God needs comfort the most, we will choose 500, no, 50 beautiful female vengeful spirits!

If the Water God finds some joy that he did not have in the past, hehehehe! Can we not be like this in the future?”

Ox-head gave him a thumbs-up and shook it. Horse-face, who was at the side, immediately looked disgusted. All of a sudden…

“Marshals, how have you been?” That gentle voice, that familiar aura, that bone-chilling smell! Ox-head and Horse-face’s headgear trembled. They stood up and looked at the distant horizon. They saw the young Daoist who was riding a cloud… Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. Ox-head and Horse-face looked at each other and exchanged glances frantically. Li Changshou smiled helplessly and sent a voice transmission from afar. “I didn’t hear anything just now. Are the two of you lacking seasonings recently?” Ox-head and Horse-face could not help but be overjoyed when they heard that. They stood up and jumped off the cliff. They called for the “listless” messengers of death below to perk up and beat the gongs and drums, erecting the sign that had been sealed for a long time. The Netherworld welcomes you, Yin and Yang! Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Perfected Taiyi felt offended.

A small head popped out of Li Changshou’s sleeve. It turned into a three-inch-tall version of Ling’e. She had a cloud-like hairstyle and was wearing a dress that matched her pretty face. Her little hand was on the edge of her senior brother’s sleeve as she looked around curiously. IT Senior Brother said to bring me to a good place. This is… Ling’e was suddenly shocked! “Senior Brother, isn’t this the Netherworld? Is Master really here?!”

“Um…”

Li Changshou raised his hand and put it in his sleeve. He gently pressed Ling’e back.

ME “Be honest. Master has been decided to reincarnate in advance.

What happened here is more complicated. We can only come here to see Master this time.” Ling’e could not help but be stunned. However, after hearing his senior brother’s words, he did not feel too emotional… After all, Ling’e had sensed that something was amiss a few years ago and had mentally prepared herself. However, he did not expect that his master had really reincarnated. Since his master had decided to reincarnate, he could only wish… to wait!

IT Reincarnated?

Little Ling’e was speechless. IT He got killed! Before she could ask her senior brother, she heard a conversation from outside. She stood on her tiptoes in Li Changshou’s sleeve and looked outside. She saw Ox-head, Horse-face, and the Netherworld’s “welcoming” team… After exchanging pleasantries, Li Changshou took out two bottles of condiments and a jade token. He said that he had come to seek an audience with the Lady of Earth under the orders of the Water God.

Ox-head and Horse-face did not dare to be careless. They took the jade token and looked at it. Ox-head summoned an ox cart that was specially used to receive guests and slowly brought Li Changshou to Fengdu City.

Horse-face, on the other hand, sprinted away to ask the Yama Lords.

During the battle in the North Continent twelve years ago, although Li Changshou’s true appearance had been exposed, the living beings on the spot were either killed or could still continue acting like Zhao Gongming.

If he could be more safe, so be it.

Li Changshou was confident about bringing Ling’e to the Netherworld.

After all, the Saints already knew that the Grand Pure One had personally appeared to protect him. The insurance on him had increased by hundreds of millions.

Moreover, there was the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda floating outside Li Changshou’s essence soul. He had the Cosmic Ruler in his sleeve and the Floating Flame Flag in his chest. At any time, he could invite a portion of the power of the Taiji Painting to support

him…

To be safe, this was the safest moment in the past five hundred years!

At that moment, Li Changshou’s heart was extremely lively. The Pagoda Master was drunk and said that he had been in close contact with his younger sister, the Golden Chalice, for twelve years. The middle-aged woman, who was standing beside the Floating Flame Flag, was speechless. The Cosmic Ruler secretly smiled coldly.

It was as if he was not there!

Of course, the Cosmic Ruler did not dare to say that.

How could there not be a ranking?

The spiritual wills from the Taiji Painting began to arrive and participate in their conversation.

Clearly, after the test that the Pagoda Master had mentioned, the Grand Pure One had completely acknowledged him as a disciple of the Saint. The Taiji Painting no longer treated him as an outsider…

While he did not have to return the treasures of Ren School, Li Changshou left the Three-Immortal Island and decided to bring Ling’e over to pay respects to his master. They were all Qi Refinement cultivators. In fact, they should be less concerned about life and death. Otherwise, they would not be able to endure the loneliness of endless years… Ordinary immortals sweeping the grave found a grave, bowed to the grave, offered some incense, put some fruits, and recite a few eulogy.

The ministers of the Heavenly Courts swept the tombs: They chased all the way to the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Netherworld. They even had to enter.

Without any twists and turns, Li Changshou arrived at the side of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and was engulfed by a beam of light… This time, the Lady of Earth did not appear. She placed Li Changshou on a gentle slope. There was a small pool outside the slope. A few golden light balls were floating in it. Qi Yuan’s soul was inside.

There was a peaceful gaze in Li Changshou’s eyes. He held Ling’e out from his sleeve.

Wisps of immortal light lingered. Lingle’s body kept spinning and returned to her normal size. Then…

Her lips were pouted and her eyes turned red. Her large eyes rippled as she stared at her master’s soul. She covered her mouth and nose and shouted,

“Master, you died so miserably!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. His soul did not dissipate. Standing at the edge of the pool, Li Changshou looked at his master’s soul for a while and then at the distant horizon. He was less depressed than before.

Ling’e got busy at the side. He did not know why she had prepared it in advance, but she had prepared yellow paper, incense table, offerings, and fruits. She had set up a small altar here, put on a white cloak, and knelt there to burn paper for her master.

Ling’e sniffled. The tip of her nose was swollen from crying.

“Master, you were fine on the way…” Li Changshou corrected him. “This is already the end of the path. We have to start again.”

ME Ling’e sobbed and muttered, “Then, Master.

When you were around previously, I did not show much filial piety, although it was because you had been sleeping in your hut and did not come out.

Master, you brought me back to the mountain and brought me to the Immortal Dao. I have yet to let you enjoy life… Master, I’m burning some joss paper here. You can use it here. You don’t have to go through the ghosts in the Netherworld. Buy more things for yourself in the Netherworld… No, Master, you can’t go out here either.

Master, you died miserably.”

“Actually, it’s not bad,” Li Changshou said calmly. “Master’s reincarnation will be much more exciting than this life. I have to nurture it here for hundreds of years before I can reincarnate.”

Ling’e looked up at her senior brother and sighed. She lowered her head and continued to burn the paper.

An hour later, Ling’e’s eyes were red as she packed up her worship set. The Cosmic Ruler hit her shoulder, and she immediately turned into a three-inch-tall little fairy. Her senior brother placed her in his sleeve…

That was purely to prevent her identity from being exposed. Li Changshou bowed to the distance and was sent out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The two of them received a gentle voice transmission.

“You can come over anytime.”

Ling’e asked via voice transmission, “Senior Brother, is Goddess Houtu speaking?”

“Yes.” Li Changshou replied and bowed to Ox-head and Horse-face, who were waiting in front of him. He smiled and said, “Sorry to trouble you two.” Ox-head smiled and said, “It’s not troublesome, it’s not troublesome. We’re a family, a family! Moo.” Horse-face asked, “Has the Water God recovered?”

“He should be fine. He will return to the Heavenly Courts to report his duties soon,” Li Changshou explained simply. Then, he left the Reincarnation Immortal Island above the Eighteen Levels of Hell with Ox-head and Horse-face and headed back.

After returning to the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou and Ling’e got busy for a while. Li Changshou tidied up his master’s straw hut and used his immortal power to seal it. From then on, it would not rot for a thousand years or ten thousand years. Ling’e used the technique that she had honed from repeatedly carving the Steadiness Sutra on the stone slab to carve a small stone tablet for her master and placed it in the middle of the straw hut.

ME Ling’e wiped her tears in front of the memorial tablet again and asked softly,

“Senior Brother, how should we tell Grandmaster about this?”

ME “Just say it directly.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Go and tell Grandmaster. I’ll go to the Hundred Mortal Hall to inform the sect.

Actually, Ling’e…”

“Huh?”

Ling’e looked up at Li Changshou. Her eyes reflected the relaxed smile on Li Changshou’s lips. She could not help but purse her lips.

ME Li Changshou said, “To us Qi Refinement cultivators, it’s not considered true that our souls have not dissipated.

Although our master has reincarnated and is no longer our master, we can also know that he has always been around.

Moreover, after reincarnation, Master will not enter the Turbid Immortal Dao again…”

“Senior Brother,” Ling’e interrupted Li Changshou and smiled. “I know everything.”

“Yes.” Li Changshou raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to rub her head, but he was a little dazed.

She had already grown up. Li Changshou could not help but laugh. He said, “I’ll go to the Hundred Mortal Hall first.” Then, he turned around and walked to the door.

“Senior Brother!” Before Li Changshou could turn around, Ling’e hugged him from behind. Ling’e did not show any signs of blushing today. She pinched Li Changshou’s Daoist robe and rested her forehead on his back.

“I’m here too.”

ME “I’m fine. Don’t let this affect your Dao heart.

Master’s lifespan is limited. This day is just a little earlier.”

Li Changshou patted Ling’e’s hand and replied warmly. He rode a cloud and rushed to the Hundred Mortal Hall.

After Qi Yuan died, the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect decided to do something for nothing for the Little Qiong Peak. However, he was stopped by Li Changshou.

Elder Wan Linyun suggested to take Li Changshou and Ling’e to Pill Tripod Peak, but was quickly rejected by Sect Leader Ji Wuyou. If not for Elder Wan’s fierce appearance, Ji Wuyou would have almost pressed Elder Wan’s mouth on the spot!

However, his master did not have a high presence in the Immortal Du Sect. He did not attract much attention.

Jiang Lin’er locked herself in Qi Yuan’s straw hut for half a month before she walked out with a smile. She told Exalted Wang Qing, who had been waiting for her outside for half a month, that she was fine. Qi Refinement cultivators could understand many principles from the separation of life and death. It did not matter if those principles were useful or not. Humans had to look forward eventually. Li Changshou composed himself and began to work.

He first activated the paper effigies everywhere and went to the Black Pool Peak to drink and chat with Bai Ze. He planned his future plans.

The Great God-Conferment Tribulation should be eight to nine hundred years later. Li Changshou had officially entered the Tribulation, but he had not entered the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

His tribulation was not death, nor was it entering the God roll.

Firstly, he would not become the target of the God Conferment. At that moment, the three sects that were facing the calamity were Jie School, Chan School, and the Western Sect.

Secondly, he was now a minister of the Heavenly Courts. His situation was quite different from the future Yang Jian. At that moment, Yang Jian, had yet to be born. Although he had the Heavenly Courts’ Deity Position during his ascension, he was also a disciple of Chan School. In order to block the Great God-Conferment Tribulation for his master, he had successfully advanced his Deity Position. Li Changshou did not need to enter the venue for Ren School. He had already removed himself. However, in order to kill Lu Ya, he had used the Art of Equalization to pull Lu Ya into the calamity. He had controlled Lu Ya and used that to offset Lu Ya’s protection of the Heavenly Dao. As a result, he had been tied to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

Only by attacking the tribulation could Lu Ya be killed on the spot. Li Changshou did not regret it. He would still choose to do it again. Li Changshou had entered the Tribulation by himself. He should have to perfect his Dao in the Tribulation. If he successfully passed the Tribulation, he would obtain endless benefits.

If he lost…

He could still keep the Dao Fruit of Longevity, but he would definitely be a tool of the Heavenly Dao in the future. He could not struggle at all. The Heavenly Dao needed to be balanced. In fact, it was also tacitly approved by the Heavenly Dao. The relationship between them was very subtle, and they needed to be patient.

In the past twelve years, when Li Changshou was comprehending the Great Dao of Equalization, he had also repaired his empty Dao heart. Due to the enhancement of his Clear Dao heart, Li Changshou had given the mystical ability a new name—the Sagely Time! It was vivid, image-wise, and full of substance.

“Let’s return to the Heavenly Courts tomorrow.”

Under the starry night, Li Changshou looked up at the sky. His mind was empty, and his Dao technique was natural.

ME At the same time, in the chess room, A few figures quietly gathered there. They activated the array formations around the chess room and set up layers of immortal power barriers. Ling’e, Jiu Jiu, Youqin Xuanya, Jiu Yushi, Jiang Lin’er, and Xiong Lingli were gathered in a hidden corner and using the traditional technique of Ren SchoolVoice Transmission. ME Jiu Jiu muttered, “I think Changshou is quite normal now. Although Senior Brother Qi Yuan is unfortunate and we are also heartbroken, Changshou’s Dao heart should not be destroyed.” Ling’e pinched her chin and said seriously, “No, he’s not really happy.” Youqin Xuanya said firmly, “I’m willing to do anything for Senior Brother Changshou’s sake.”

Jiang Lin’er was puzzled. “Why does Changshou have a trauma?”

“This…”

Jiu Jiu waved her hand. “He doesn’t need to know. Let’s start discussing what to do. Let’s plan to save Changshou from his sorrow!”
