My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Ah, it’s getting harder and harder to be the Sect Leader with a great god in the sect.

Ji Wuyou stood in front of the window of his hut and looked out of the window at the cloud peak and sea of fog. The jade token flipped back and forth between his fingers, and his eyes were filled with thoughts.

That was the communication jade token that his master had given him. He wanted him to bring some experts to help the Carefree Immortal Sect, which was also a Ren School.

The Carefree Immortal Sect was established in the Middle Continent. Their foundation far exceeded that of the Immortal Du Sect. He had only brought people there to help them.

As long as it was a faction, it was inevitable that they would become enemies with others. According to the rules of the Primordial World, the disciples of the Saints would not interfere if a battle between the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools erupted because of old grudges.

He had established his Dao in the Primordial World to develop his Dao.

If the Dao heritage could not be stabilized, could not stand, and could not be defeated, he could not blame others.

It would only be reasonable if the Immortal Du Sect was ambushed by some puppet demons, Perfected Du’e, the founder of the Immortal Du Sect, and the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du appeared.

The Three Great Immortal Sects had a conflict with the Carefree Immortal Sect. There might be an all-out battle between the Immortal Sects. It was not appropriate for an expert of the older generation like Perfected Du’e to attack directly. Therefore, he sent the jade token to the Immortal Du Sect and sent his disciples over.

If it was in the past, such situations would not usually start a fight. After both parties came to help each other, there would naturally be a respectable senior who “happened to pass by” and then “I’ll say something fair” to be a peacemaker.

However, now…

“It’s unstable.”

Ji Wuyou lowered his head and coughed a few times. He looked at his essence soul and sighed slightly.

He did not expect that he could almost cripple himself by refining a mystical ability.

It was also because his foundation was insufficient and his essence was too weak. It was already a little difficult for him to become a Golden Immortal. It was indeed a little too hasty to forcefully cultivate such a powerful mystical ability.

Of course, his essence soul was weak, not his Dao Body.

The Poisonous Dragon Wine and Essence Strengthening Spirit Pill that his sensible disciple, Jiu Wu, had secretly brought over did not have any obvious effects.

Even now, Ji Wuyou still had two questions.

Why is the number of Dao companions of Ren School always several times higher than those of other immortal sects?

How did Changshou become the second disciple of the second most powerful Immortal God of the Heavenly Courts and the Grand Pure One of Ren School?

He even made a pact with Fairy Yun Xiao…

It was difficult to understand.

Ji Wuyou had been protecting Changshou’s secret with all his might. As a result, he had stood up to force a lie several times to conceal some phenomena for Changshou.

At first, he did not understand why Li Changshou insisted on keeping the matter to himself. However, gradually, Ji Wuyou understood.

Li Changshou treated the identity of a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect as a layer of disguise. In the process of his rise, he avoided the eyes of the Western Sect.

The reason why Ji Wuyou had taken the initiative to appear and protect her several times and tried his best to control his desire to confide in her. He did not even say much about his master. The main reason was because Li Changshou had invited him…

Changshou is also a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. As the Sect Leader, I have to help him if I can.

Ji Wuyou slowly exhaled.

He did not know how Wang Qing and the others were doing in the trichiliocosm. It was actually their own opportunities to help Changshou obtain the Heavenly Dao merit and the Heavenly Courts’ destiny.

Unfortunately, he was the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect. Before he became the next Sect Leader, he could not retire early and go to the trichiliocosm to be excited.

Is Xuanya doing well in the Heavenly Courts?

This silly girl is sometimes too upright. The human heart in the Primordial World is the most sinister. It is a good thing that she could develop in the Heavenly Courts.

However, whether the immortals of the sect went to the Heavenly Courts or not, their choices would be respected.

Cultivation was about longevity. However, in a medium-sized immortal sect, there were very few longevity immortals. Therefore, most Qi Refinement cultivators pursued longevity and freedom.

Changshou did not seem to be deeply affected by that. If he had the chance later, he would tell Changshou…

Ahem, talk, talk.

He was no longer the Little Changshou of the past. He had not touched Sect Leader Xu.

The jade token stopped spinning. Ji Wuyou turned around and placed the jade token in his sleeve. He rode a cloud and flew out of the window. He hid his tracks and floated towards the Little Qiong Peak.

When he arrived at the periphery of the Little Qiong Peak, Ji Wuyou waited for a while. When spiritual energy fluctuations appeared in front of him, he quietly entered the thick array formation of the Little Qiong Peak.

Every time he felt the array formation of the Little Qiong Peak, a phrase would appear in Ji Wuyou’s heart…

‘What a waste.’

There were only two or three disciples on a peak. What was the point of creating the Nine-Fold Formation? It is impossible for the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals to attack the Little Qiong Peak, right?

If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal be dead?

As he flew past the thick array formation’s spiritual energy flow layer, a peaceful and tranquil spiritual peak appeared in front of him.

He took a look at the ancient spiritual forest that was filled with the essence of the Wood Essence and felt the ancient essence of water in the spiritual lake. The entire mountain seemed like a blessed land in his immortal senses…

However, Ji Wuyou was fully aware that the Little Qiong Peak was originally a small and broken peak that had its peak cut off and its spiritual energy destroyed in the battle ten thousand years ago.

Changshou was already very powerful.

Huh? Why is there a small peak beside the lake?

Hey! It can move!

The mountain-like Lingli stood up and raised her head and waved at Ji Wuyou. Although her actions were very natural, she appeared very slow because her body was too huge.

“Master…”

“Lingli.” Ji Wuyou heaved a sigh of relief. He felt the terrifying power brewing in Xiong Lingli’s body and could not help but tremble.

Is this still my in-name disciple?

With one punch, even a Golden Immortal like me, who was already injured, would probably be seriously injured, right?

She is indeed the backbone of Ren School who had followed Changshou!

Ji Wuyou smiled warmly and extended his left palm. His immortal power condensed into a huge palm. He patted Xiong Lingli’s forehead and smiled.

“I haven’t seen you recently. You’ve grown taller. Not bad, not bad.”

Xiong Lingli chuckled in embarrassment. Thunder rumbled on the Little Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou and Ling’e, who were waiting for Ji Wuyou to land, could not help but smile when they saw that scene.

Li Changshou was naturally there with the paper effigy. His main body had already begun to make preparations to go to the South Continent to stop the evil cultivators who wanted to hunt the mortal emperors.

It was most likely the Western Sect causing trouble again. This method was much more brilliant than the Western Sect’s previous actions.

It could be said that he had taken drastic measures to deal with the Heavenly Courts’ weakness. He had targeted the Heavenly Courts, the immortal contract, and the Shang tribal system that Li Changshou cared about the most. From there, he had affected the Heavenly Courts’ influence on the Great God-Conferment Tribulation…

He was guessing that the Eldest Senior Brother of the Western Sect, Maitreya, was controlling it.

It was indeed time for the Western Sect to do something. Otherwise, they could only wait for death.

Seeing Ji Wuyou slowly fly down, Li Changshou smiled and bowed with Ling’e.

“Greetings, Sect Leader.”

Ji Wuyou hurriedly lowered his head and bowed to Li Changshou. He smiled and said, “Greetings, Star Lord. I should pay my respects.”

Ling’e could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She said, “Senior Brother, I’ll go brew tea for the Sect Leader.”

“Take out the fine tea I brought back from the Jade Pool,” Li Changshou instructed. He set up a short table and two meditation cushions and invited Ji Wuyou to take a seat.

On the other side of the spiritual lake, Xiong Lingli lay down again. She stared at the sky for a while and began her unique cultivation method.

He could use his bloodline to strengthen himself.

It was extremely comfortable.

Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “Changshou, have you been busy with the matters of the Heavenly Courts recently?”

“It’s still considered peaceful.” Li Changshou sighed and said, “However, now that the Great Tribulation has descended, the world is not peaceful. From the Middle Continent to the East Continent to the trichiliocosm, more and more Qi Refinement cultivators are bleeding.

According to the Heavenly Courts’ surveillance, the casualties of the Qi Refinement cultivators in the past few years have exceeded hundreds of years.”

“Ah, troubled times.” Ji Wuyou slowly sighed. “The world is unpredictable, and living beings are withering. This is also a principle that has existed since ancient times. Changshou, what you have done is something that most cultivators cannot do. You don’t have to give yourself too much pressure.”

Li Changshou nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Sect Leader.”

“Just call me by my Dao name. You’re my elder now.”

“In the Immortal Du Sect, Changshou is naturally a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Sect Leader, don’t worry. I specially asked Teacher for permission to do so.”

“Oh?” Ji Wuyou’s eyes lit up. He asked softly, “Is the Saint… talkative?”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and did not know how to answer.

If he were to say that his teacher was not talkative, his teacher would be able to chat with him for eight to ten years. There were all kinds of topics involved. For example, the first time he went to the Grand Pure One to pay a visit, he had chatted for three years.

It could be said that Teacher is talkative. Until now, whenever I am alone with Teacher Taiqing, the average duration of Teacher’s words is 14.6 days…

Li Changshou said, “Teacher’s words are concise. He’s also approachable and peaceful.”

Ji Wuyou felt a little dizzy.

It was as if he did not say anything.

Ling’e carried the tea and floated over from the side. She knelt beside Li Changshou and served tea to him and the Sect Leader. Then, she carried the tray and floated back to the straw hut.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Sect Leader, are you here for something?”

“There’s nothing else.” Ji Wuyou took out the jade token from his sleeve and handed it to Li Changshou. He said seriously, “My master asked me to bring a few experts to the Carefree Immortal Sect to support them.”

“Oh?”

Li Changshou took the jade token and carefully checked it. Then, he understood.

He asked, “According to the Sect Leader’s knowledge, are there any problems with these immortal sects?”

“The question is, are there any great sects behind them?”

Ji Wuyou pondered for a while and pinched his fingers to deduce that he did not obtain anything. Then, he said, “According to what I know, the three immortal sects have had a grudge with the Carefree Immortal Sect for a long time. This time, they have joined forces to attack. They might have the intention to use the calamity. According to the rules, apart from the founder of the Carefree Immortal Sect, my master and the experts of other sects cannot attack directly. Otherwise, we would be accused of bullying the weak and saying that Ren School cannot afford to lose. That would damage the reputation of Ren School. Therefore, Teacher ordered me to bring people to help. This is actually a kind of… convention. However, now that the Great Tribulation has arrived, I’m a little worried that something will happen.”

Li Changshou nodded slowly and pondered carefully.

“Sect Leader, you should be careful.” Li Changshou took out two bottles of pills and a stack of paper effigies from his sleeve. He said seriously, “This is my paper effigy incarnation. If Sect Leader is in danger, you can call me at any time.”

Ji Wuyou smiled and said, “There’s no need for that. After living in the Primordial World for so long, I have a way to settle down.”

“Sect Leader.” Li Changshou’s expression was solemn. “That’s a little dangerous.”

“Huh?”

“It’s better to take it. Steadily.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Take it as my orders. Sect Leader, please contact me at any time. If the Sect Leader encounters trouble, I will appear with the appearance of Taibai Jinxing of the Heavenly Courts. It’s good to scare the other party.”

“Hahahaha!”

Ji Wuyou clapped his hands and laughed. He put the paper effigy and the pills into his sleeve and smiled. “I’ll be stable this time!”

Li Changshou seemed to have heard a ping sound. There was a strange sound of the “flag” shattering. He reminded the Sect Leader a few more times.

He had received a lot of favors from the Sect Leader. Now that the world was in chaos, the conflict between the Dao Sect and the Immortal Sect gradually appeared. It did not matter if anyone was secretly plotting against them. That was the general trend.

The Great God-Conferment Tribulation did not only affect the disciples of the Saints. There were also the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools. Li Changshou had already deduced that clearly before he became an immortal.

The situation could not be changed. The Heavenly Dao would crush them.

He wanted to be balanced and his hands were weak.

After Ji Wuyou left, Li Changshou pondered carefully for a while. His mind slid past the paper effigy army buried near the Immortal Du Sect…

The amount of immortal power that he had buried under the Immortal Du Sect was enough to level the entire Immortal Du Sect… dozens of times.

As for immortal power, he could absorb the spiritual energy and convert it back. The spiritual energy in the Primordial World was still abundant, so there was naturally no lack of it.

“Senior Brother.” Ling’e floated over and tidied up the teacup and teapot. “What happened?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s not a big deal. The Sect Leader wants to help the Carefree Immortal Sect.”

“Carefree Immortal Sect? Alright, I don’t have any impression of it.”

“Don’t worry. Focus on cultivation.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Ke Le’er has already become a Golden Immortal. Although you can’t be impatient, you have to work harder.”

“Hey!”

Ling’e agreed sweetly and smiled.

When I’m in the Golden Immortal realm, I’ll charm you and throw you onto the bed. I’ll do this and that!

Li Changshou subconsciously tilted his head to listen. The paper effigy immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke and entered Ling’e’s sleeve, leaving behind a sentence. “I’ll be busy with work.”

Ling’e stuck out her tongue and carried the tray away.

…

“Lord Water God ~ Water God, no, Lord Star Lord, it’s me, your worshiper, Little Truth.”

Li Changshou almost spat out his tea when he heard that shout.

That shout was naturally from Truth Listener, who was in the Reincarnation Pagoda. It was sending a voice transmission to Li Changshou’s heart using Truth Listener’s inverse mystical ability, which was hidden in Fengdu City.

Of course, Li Changshou could instantly sever that connection. However…

The “Atonement Beast” took the initiative to send a message. Although he could not believe it completely and had to be wary of the smoke bomb that was released for the other party, he could still listen.

He heard Truth Listener send a voice transmission.

“Same old rules. You don’t have to respond. Don’t seal your mind. We can sense your thoughts. The Eldest Senior Brother of the Western Sect is harassing my master again. He even proudly told me his next plan. This time, he wants to target the human kingship of the South Continent’s mortal world. It seemed that he wanted to target the merchant tribe that had received the protection of the Heavenly Courts and was also supported by you, Lord Taibai Jinxing. As long as he finds some evil cultivators and assassinates the leader of the Shang Tribe, he can disrupt the arrangements of the Heavenly Courts and even further affect the progress of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. This time, his move is indeed quite powerful. Lord Taibai Jinxing, you should be on guard.”

“I already know about that. What else did he say?”

“It seems like he wants to persuade my master to support him. He has already said many old matters.” Truth Listener’s voice was filled with disdain. “What did he do previously? When my master was suffering, he hid in the dark and did not want to move forward. Now that the Western Sect has its master, the pillar of luck, and it is time for the Great Tribulation to reap benefits, it has come out to jump around. Hmph, I look down on him.”

Truth Listener complained, but Li Changshou pondered.

Li Changshou asked in his heart, “What did your master say?”

“Master only said that this has nothing to do with him…”

“Thank you for the reminder. Your master naturally has nothing to do with this matter.”

Li Changshou said in his heart. He sealed a wisp of the paper effigy’s essence soul power and cut off his connection with Truth Listener.

This Maitreya felt… a little lacking.

Ksitigarbha was more troublesome back then. He felt helpless.

A wise man would definitely make a mistake. Perhaps Maitreya had been in seclusion for too long. Although he still had the power to control the entire Primordial World, the plan was quite powerful. It was a little like trying to solve a huge problem. However, before the plan began, he had gone to Ksitigarbha to show off…

Huh?

He was not showing off but deliberately setting a trap for me?

Li Changshou pondered carefully.

Although he could not rule out the possibility of Chan School and the Western Sect secretly joining forces, the possibility was very low.

I’ll go and get the Taiji Painting!

He secretly transferred Golden Roc over and met Big Sister Kong Xuan in advance. He made the arrangements extremely thorough.

If that was the case, he would not be able to protect the Shang Clan…

Then, he could only ask the lightning of the Heavenly Punishment to protect the righteous path.

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and allowed himself to fall into the trap and compete with the Eldest Senior Brother of the Western Sect.

Buzz ~

Alright, he had just dealt with a phony spy who was trying to get rid of himself. Now, there was another official spy.

He did not know if the information Wen Jing brought was different from the information given by Perfected Yu Ding and Truth Listener.
