Chapter 166 Watch My Eyes And Act According To The Hints

“I’ll wait for you ahead. I’ll wait for you. You…”

Wait? My foot!

In Li Changshou’s eyes, the raging lightning, the flying electric arcs, and the shock waves that filled the sky were all toxic gaseous explosions!

As a response, Li Changshou cupped his hands and turned around to cast Earth Escape.

Goodbye. Farewell. We will not meet again!

Li Changshou had given the Faraday Cages to Youqin Xuanya for the Heavenly Tribulation. As her senior brother, Li Changshou had given Youqin Xuanya a small reward for attracting the Dao runes of the Saint that day.

Li Changshou felt that it had something to do with the fact that he had gotten the Saint’s attention and made the Saint remember him.

Now, half of the three sects’ leaders had arrived. Hundreds of Immortal Sects of the Three Schools were gathered there. Youqin Xuanya had used the Faraday Cage to resist a Heavenly Tribulation, which was already a huge risk for him.

However, Li Changshou did not mind that. It was because he had been careless previously. When he had given the Faraday Cage to Youqin Xuanya, he had not considered the current situation. That was his own mistake. Youqin Xuanya was not to be blamed.

The problem is, why did she mention my name when she was transcending the tribulation!?!

Am I brothers with the Heavenly Dao? Would the power of the Heavenly Tribulation be weakened on my account? Li Changshou’s heart was in a dilemma. When using the Earth Escape, his speed was neither fast nor slow. He was halfway through when he secretly fumbled back.

He still had something to tell youqin Xuanya. Otherwise, he might really cause trouble for himself.

The logic was a little complicated.

The Faraday Cage could withstand a Heavenly Tribulation. Youqin Xuanya has already demonstrated it and the Heavenly Dao had agreed to it.

If word about the Faraday Cage were to spread in the Primordial World, the success rate of the tribulation might increase by a lot. Over time, the number of immortals would increase, and the number of variables in the world would increase by a great margin.

That might cause numerous tribulations to arrive earlier with greater power.

When that happens, Li Changshou, the founder of the Faraday Cage, will be implicated by karma!

That thing could only be used in the small social circle he was in.

Li Changshou thought about it carefully and tried to deduce Youqin Xuanya’s thoughts. He was prepared to persuade her later.

At the same time, he had already secretly sent a voice transmission to Xiong Lingli, telling her to hide in a corner far away and that he would meet her later…

At that moment, a large number of immortal senses were definitely watching Youqin Xuanya. Li Changshou did not approach her. Instead, he emerged from a bamboo forest ten kilometers away.

Like many other Qi Refinement cultivators of the same generation, Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back and stared at Youqin Xuanya, who had just survived the Thunder Tribulation and was bathing in the immortal light.

Youqin Xuanya seemed to have entered a mysterious realm. She immediately closed her eyes and focused… Ascension?

Li Changshou frowned and waited patiently for a while. When Youqin Xuanya opened her eyes to search for him, he used her immortal senses to send a few instructions to her.

“Junior Sister, if you have an epiphany in your heart, you shall immediately meditate and cultivate. The Immortals outside will pull you out. If someone asks about the birdcage, say that I gave it to you. Say that I found this item from the ancient books in the sect. There were originally only a few of them. Now, there are only two left. There is too much karma involved and if word about it is spread, the consequences will be unimaginable. Of course, don’t think too much about it. I only gave you this Dharma artifact because I thought that we were fellow disciples. I do not harbor any designs on you. Hurry up and gain some enlightenment. This should be a great opportunity for you.”

Youqin Xuanya’s eyes flickered when she heard that. Her immortal senses quickly found Li Changshou’s traces…

Li Changshou nodded at her and walked out of the bamboo forest.

This time, the words ‘fellow disciples’ directly expressed his attitude.

He refused to believe that Youqin Xuanya would misunderstand further!

In the sky, Youqin Xuanya, who was emitting a crystalline glow and had taken a few steps forward beautifully, watched Li Changshou’s back with her immortal senses. She sighed softly in her heart…

Senior Brother’s back view always looks so carefree. He let me use such an expensive item but he would not let me repay him.

Yet, I was still thinking about how I could repay Senior Brother for giving me the birdcage to save me from the Heavenly Tribulation.

From now on, I will repay you with my life.

Youqin Xuanya bowed towards the direction Li Changshou had left. Then, she closed her eyes and sat cross-legged on the auspicious cloud. She entered the Dao enlightenment realm with pleasant immortal music.

Ascension.

At the same time, Li Changshou kept thinking

There might be immortals outside looking for the Sect Leader…

Such an item that could withstand a Heavenly Tribulation was indeed wonderful enough for the great immortals to lower themselves and exchange or request for one from the Immortal Du Sect.

He was currently in the painting and could not go out to deal with it…

When his master was undergoing the tribulation, he had used the Faraday Cage under the watchful gazes of many people. There would definitely be people who knew about it, be it the sect executives or the elders.

For now, he could only rely on the paper effigy to inform Ling’e to meet Jiu Shi and contact Uncle-Master Jiu Wu through Jiu Shi…

Li Changshou’s heart stirred and he got to it immediately. He multi-tasked and the paper effigy hiding beside his junior sister was instantly activated.

However, just as the paper effigy was about to be activated, Li Changshou heard the sounds of water splashing and the tune that Lingle often hummed during her bath… Li Changshou could not be bothered to avoid trouble since it was a pressing matter.

“Junior Sister!”

The paper effigy shouted via voice transmission. Ling’e immediately shivered and dipped her head into the water bucket. Numerous bubbles appeared.

After a while, Ling’e, who was already dressed neatly, hurriedly closed the array formations around the straw hut. She used her Dharma powers to dry her long hair and quickly flew to the Heaven-Breaking Peak.

On the other side…

When the unusual phenomenon around Youqin Xuanya dissipated, a golden beam of light shot from the sky and landed on Youqin Xuanya.

The golden light did not disturb her. It took her away from the painting and placed her in the Immortal Du Sect’s seating area…

Everyone from the Immortal Du Sect surrounded her immediately.

However, Sect Leader Ji Wuyou quickly activated a barrier and protected Youqin Xuanya.

“Don’t scare her. She’s getting her own opportunity.”

One of the elders smiled and said, “This means that she has ascended. Xuanya might be able to break through the Essence Immortal realm and become a Perfected Immortal.”

“Disciple-Niece Youqin is really impressive.”

“I should reward her properly when I get back.”

“Speaking of Disciple-Niece Youqin and Disciple-Nephew Changshou… Tsk.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk…”

While everyone was in high spirits, they also recalled Youqin Xuanya’s declaration in front of everyone when she faced the eighth Heavenly Tribulation.

They did not know if the immortals of the other two major sects understood or not.

However, how could the people from Ren School not tell that youqin Xuanya had made a declaration to her lover when she was facing a life-and-death situation?

On the other hand, Exalted Wang Qing and a few elders went to Ji Wuyou’s side and said something worriedly…

“That’s great.” Jiu Jiu hugged the large gourd and blushed. She looked at Youqin Xuanya who was in the barrier and sighed softly.

Another one of the three foodies of Little Qiong Peak, ahem, the three fairies of Little Qiong Peak had finally become an immortal. Now, only Little Ling’e was left!

Jiu Wu walked over with his hands behind his back and said to Jiu Jiu, “What’s so good about it!?! Think about yourself, my good junior sister!”

Jiu Jiu blinked and replied to her Fifth Senior Brother, “What’s so bad about that? Xuanya has already become an immortal. She’s also ascended.”

“Did you hear what she said?”

“What she said… Huh?”

Jiu Jiu finally reacted. She blinked and immediately smiled, making her large eyes seem like crescents…

“Hehehe, could it be that Xuanya is interested in Little Shoushou? This is interesting. Little Ling’e likes Little Shoushou. Now, Xuanya has also publicly expressed her feelings. Wow… Is Little Ling’e going to fight with Xuanya?”

Jiu Wu could not help but support his forehead with one hand. He smiled bitterly and continued to send a voice transmission.

“Little Jiu, did you not realize that you also harbor some… unusual feelings about your Disciple-Nephew Changshou?”

“Hey, Fifth Senior Brother, you’re mistaken.” Jiu Jiu waved her hand and said, “Fourth Senior Sister mentioned this to me previously. I even made myself a laughing stock in front of Little Shoushou. After that, I realized that Fifth Senior Brother, you and Fourth Senior Sister have been sticking to each other all day long. Your minds are filled with those intimate thoughts. It would be strange if you didn’t get the wrong idea! I go to Little Qiong Peak to get wine, eat meat, and obtain pills. A Dao companion is not essential for me. Moreover, my reliance on Little Changshou is more like… Mmm… the love a drunkard has towards wine-brewing masters. Immortal cultivation is lonely. It’s enough to have someone accompany me to relieve my boredom.”

Jiu Wu was instantly speechless. He looked at his little junior sister.

Jiu Jiu’s eyes were clear, and the smile on her lips was relaxed.

“Really?”

Jiu Wu frowned and asked. Just as he was about to continue asking Jiu Jiu, he suddenly felt that the communication jade token was beating continuously.

How could he not look at the message sent by his wife!?!

Jiu Wu held the communication jade token in his hand. A wisp of immortal senses entered his heart and transformed into a few words.

The short Daoist was stunned.

Jiu Jiu rolled her eyes and ignored her Fifth Senior Brother. She continued to look at Youqin Xuanya, who was becoming more and more elegant. A three-man show started to appear in her mind.

The kind where the actors were clothed.

Not long after, a few Golden Immortals from Ren School arrived together to look for the Sect Leader of the Immortal Du Sect, Ji Wuyou, and told him about the birdcage that Youqin Xuanya had used during her tribulation.

Ji Wuyou coughed for a long time but could not say anything.

At the side, Exalted Wang Qing immediately sent a voice transmission to ask the elders and executives of the sect. Many people pinched their fingers to deduce, but they could not figure out who was the one who made the birdcage that could resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

However, the Faraday Cage had once appeared when Qi Yuan was undergoing the Tribulation Transcendence. A Perfected Immortal executive from the sect who came with him recalled it and went to report it to Exalted Wang Qing. “Little Qiong Peak?”

Exalted Wang Qing frowned slightly. There were more and more strange phenomena in the Little Qiong Peak recently. At that moment, Jiu Wu rushed over from the side and shouted, “Master! I know where that birdcage came from!”

“Speak.”

Jiu Wu hurriedly sent a voice transmission. “That birdcage was left behind by a Perfected Immortal elder from the sect before he passed away. Back then, that elder had lived to the end of his life. However, he did not have any disciples under him. His immortal power was weak, just like an old mortal. A few months before his immortal death, he had been served by Li Changshou, a disciple of the Little Qiong Peak, who was appointed to do so by the Hundred Mortal Hall. Before the elder left, he had given his disciple-nephew Changshou a technique known as the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts, as well as a treasure called the Faraday Cage. However, we really don’t know how this treasure is made. There are two more of them left. They are meant for Disciple-Nephew Changshou and his junior sister…”

Exalted Wang Qing seemed to have gotten an epiphany.

What Jiu Wu said was naturally a half-truth.

Li Changshou’s mystical ability to form Man-Forming Paper Cutouts was derived from the elder who had passed away because of his immortal death. At that moment, he had only pushed the Faraday Cage to someone else.

At the same time, he wanted to pave the way for the future and teach Ling’e the mystical ability to create Man-Forming Paper Cutouts.

Exalted Wang Qing pinched his fingers and deduced. Very quickly, he nodded and walked towards the few Golden Immortals who were exchanging pleasantries. He whispered something to the Sect Leader.

Ji Wuyou quickly told the outside world that there was no refinement technique for the Faraday Cage and that the remaining two were for the disciples whom he had meant to give them to.

The few Golden Immortals who came to ask for treasures had regretful expressions. They did not force it and bade farewell.

Ji Wuyou had yet to take his seat when another Golden Immortal arrived…

In just half a day, dozens of disciples from the three sects came to ask about the Faraday Cage.

Sect Leader Ji Wuyou was too tired to deal with the situation. He simply set up a wooden tablet and wrote that the birdcage was not refined in the Immortal Du Sect. He stated that it was an ancient item left behind by an elder and that they did not have a method to refine it…

Only then did he manage to stabilize the situation.

However, the trouble regarding this matter was not over.

After the disciples entered the painting for a total of seven days, most of the demonic beasts and ferocious beasts in the painting were emptied out. Most of the treasures were taken away. The “Disciples’ Battle” segment ended.

At that moment, the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools had just counted the origins. The familial atmosphere of the Three Sects was very intense. On the surface, everyone looked friendly. There seemed to be no hierarchy and the way they handled it was quite brilliant.

In the next few days, Li Changshou and Xiong Lingli continued to hide.

The Great Master of the Xuan Du Sect had already left. Youqin Xuanya had eliminated the demons, transcended the tribulation, and ascended. She had already given the Immortal Du Sect and Ren School all the limelight. The task of showing the prowess of Ren School that was given to them by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had also been completed.

They really did not need to do much.

Over the past few days, Li Changshou had been analyzing in the painting, the effects of the accidental exposure of the Faraday Cage.

After some consideration, Li Changshou did not find it too dangerous. At most, there would be people who would be put in a difficult spot. He could easily resolve the situation.

Not everyone dared to touch the Immortal Du Sect that had the support of the Great Daoist Master.

On the seventh day, the Golden Immortal Yun Zhongzi of Chan School attacked again. He captured all the disciples from the treasure map and sent them back to their original positions.

Li Changshou and Xiong Lingli had just stabilized themselves when Jiu Wu walked over and was bringing him to look for the Sect Leader Ji Wuyou…

Ji Wuyou coughed and looked at Li Changshou. He asked, “Regarding that birdcage, are you afraid of karma?” “Yes.” Li Changshou quickly thought of something and nodded.

Ji Wuyou pondered for a while and said, “You must insist later that you only have two of them left and that you do not give them to anyone else other than you and your junior sister.”

Li Changshou sighed in his heart and said softly, “Thank you for protecting me, Sect Leader.”

Ji Wuyou said calmly, “You are a disciple of my sect. This is just what I should do.”

“When the immortals of the three sects leave later, someone will definitely come and cause trouble and pester me. At that time… watch my eyes and follow my hints.”

“I understand.”
