Chapter 407 The Great Daoist Master’s Gift

At the side of the Heavenly River, the Water Army was operating the array formation on the Heavenly River. The two deputy commanders were supervising from the side. “Brother Yi, when can we bring troops to the demons’ territory to show off?” Due to the fact that the Heavenly River Navy was under the control of the Water God, the Water God usually did not care about this matter. The authority was actually in the hands of the deputy commanders.

Bian Zhuang held a spirit herb in his mouth and lay on the gentle slope of the green grass by the river. He placed his hands behind his head and asked casually with a lazy expression.

Ao Yi, who was meditating at the side, did not open his eyes. He replied casually, “Half a month ago, during the meeting in the Hall of Enlightenment, the Sect Master and General Dongmu had already set up a stalling technique. If we don’t drag the demons down, we should not have a chance to attack.”

“I see… Phew…”

Bian Zhuang heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and muttered softly, “What is the Heavenly Courts? I’ve finally learned something today. It was said that the Hall of Marriage had already pulled more than ten red strings. A clay figurine of a Heaven Immortal realm demon had exploded the day before yesterday. Perhaps it had been killed by his rival, the demon king. Unfortunately, the Hall of Marriage could not interfere with the marriage of the Longevity Immortal. Otherwise, why would the demons be afraid? A few red strings would be enough. Tsk, tsk, tsk. The adults who were in charge of the sunset glow were even more overboard. They directly uploaded the declaration of seeking demons and showed it to all the demons. It was unknown if most of the demons could read or not. Do you know what’s the most extreme?”

“I don’t know,” Ao Yi replied calmly. He was not in the mood to chat.

“Hahaha! It was the Plague Division that made the demon soldiers run around. When they were in the toilet, they were sprayed with dirt! The border of the North Continent is very lively now. The fragrance is everywhere. Hahaha!” Ao Yi smiled helplessly when he heard that. Then, he shook his head and sighed softly. “The Heavenly Courts used the authority of the various branches to consume the strength of the demons. This was something that no one had expected. I wonder if doing so will affect the luck of the Heavenly Courts.” “Don’t worry. How can Lord Water God and General Dongmu not think of the problems that we can think of?”

Bian Zhuang smiled and said, “There are already Divine Officials monitoring the changes in the Heavenly Dao at all times. According to them, not only will this move not affect anything, but it will also slightly deepen the influence of the Heavenly Courts on the operation of the Heavenly Dao because the Heavenly Courts’ legitimate gods frequently exercise their authority.

Seriously, I’m more and more impressed with the Water God who is your Sect Master.”

“Yes.” Ao Yi’s smile became much more sincere.

It was as if…

As long as one bragged about the Water God, they would be Ao Yi’s good friend. At that moment, a white cloud floated over from afar. Bian Zhuang looked up and immediately trembled. He hurriedly stood up. “Ah! Why are the Water God and Elder Moon here!?!”

Ao Yi, on the other hand, was rather calm. He had already captured the two figures through his immortal senses. He waited calmly for a while before standing up to welcome them. He shouted in unison with Bian Zhuang, “Greetings, Water God!”

On the Heavenly River, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals stopped what they were doing and bowed to the two old immortals on the cloud. Li Changshou waved his hand, indicating that everything was normal. He brought Elder Moon and landed in front of Bian Zhuang and Ao Yi.

“Elder Moon, look.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Isn’t the expert here?”

Elder Moon looked at Bian Zhuang’s figure and frowned.

“Water God, although Deputy Commander Bian Zhuang is a little unrestrained and his red string changes three times a day, he is fine. The red string that he can really hold…” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Apart from Deputy Commander Bian Zhuang, there are not many talents in the Heavenly Courts who can change the red string at will. Elder Moon, you can use them.”

“This is good too.”

Elder Moon sighed and felt a little unwilling.

Bian Zhuang, who was bowing and lowering his head, could not help but cry. Although he felt that he had been offended, he was excited.

After being in the Heavenly Courts for so long, he could finally get in touch with Elder Moon! “Deputy Commander Bian Zhuang.” Elder Moon took out a blank scroll and an immortal brush and revealed a faint smile. “I’ll ask you a few questions. I hope that you can answer them according to your wishes. If, ahem, Deputy Commander Bian has taken a liking to a beautiful woman, but this woman is a married woman, and her husband is in the same Heaven Immortal realm as Deputy Commander… How will Deputy Commander poach others?” “Well…” Bian Zhuang frowned and said,” Can we do such a thing?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “However, if Deputy Commander Bian has a good character and is magnanimous, you would not do such a thing. This is for the official business of the Heavenly Courts and also because many demon kings are too inexperienced in disturbing the demons. The red string is already firmly tied, but they do not dare to speak. I thought that if I could give them a way to poach the demons, I would be able to accelerate their internal conflict. Deputy Commander Bian, you are experienced, please teach me.”

Upon hearing the words of the Water God, Bian Zhuang gradually straightened his back. His entire body emitted a holy glow. He said seriously, “Elder Moon, wait a moment. Let me organize my thoughts!” “Sure!”

Elder Moon raised his brush and waited quietly.

Li Changshou smiled and squinted. He turned around to admire the scenery of the Heavenly River. He watched the water of the Heavenly River surge on the clouds. He recalled the scene of Mount Buzhou collapsing and the Heavenly River’s water pouring into the sky back then…

“Brother Sect Master.” Ao Yi came over from the side and asked via voice transmission, “Will there be any hidden dangers if we use the Divine Power of the Heavenly Courts like this?”

“Huh?” Li Changshou smiled. “If it was any other day, Elder Moon would have suffered a backlash from the power of the Heavenly Dao if he had randomly pulled the red string. However, this is an extraordinary time.

In the name of the Queen Mother, she had given the order to only deal with the demons who had issued the order to resist the Heavenly Courts. Not only would Elder Moon not be punished by the Heavenly Dao, but the more he did and the more he disturbed the demons, the more merit he would receive.

That is the meaning of righteousness and rules.

When the demons issued this declaration, they had already entered the strange circle of resisting the Heavenly Dao. They are destined to die, but the method was chosen by us.”

Ao Yi looked enlightened. He pondered carefully and asked after a while, “Aren’t the demons courting death?” Li Changshou stood with his hands behind his back and said slowly, “It’s not that the demons are courting death. It’s just that the demon kings who have a higher position in the demon race, or Daoist Lu Ya, want to use this opportunity to eliminate most of the remnant powers of the demon race and reduce the threat they are facing. The Heavenly Courts are about to prosper. The strength of the human race is scattered among the various immortal sects. Moreover, there are Dao Sects controlling them. The remnant demons of the ancient Demon Court are the Jade Emperor’s problem. At this moment, the demons would not take that path. A hundred years later, or three hundred years later, the Heavenly Courts would be filled with Heavenly Soldiers and experts. The demons would also be eliminated. To be able to make a decision to denounce the heavens at this moment, it proves that there are indeed experts among the demons who can see the power of the world. They cannot be underestimated.”

Ao Yi pondered for a while and gradually digested those words. He was about to continue asking…

“Ahem!”

Bian Zhuang cupped his fists and his eyes were filled with confidence. “Elder Moon, please ask. I’m ready.”

“Then, Deputy Commander Bian, please tell me. If you are a Demon King and have taken a liking to the wife of another Demon King, how can you get to know her?” “I naturally have to visit his Cave Abode a few times and befriend this demon king. I have to show my poise. When the time is ripe, I will think of a way to send the demon king away and meet him alone with his wife. I will spread the atmosphere and speak gently. I will slowly plan and observe her reaction.” The corners of Elder Moon’s mouth twitched. He remembered everything. loElder Moon asked again, “Do you have those gentle words? Deputy Commander Bian, can you teach me a few things to say?” Bian Zhuang blushed a little, but he quickly calmed down and regained his sense of duty and responsibility. “This is actually a little shameless. It’s ultimately wrong to poach others. I just… have a friend who is a senior of this Dao. I heard him explain in detail. Generally speaking, he would use some flowery words. The more powerful ones would have a process of advancing. For example…”

“Ahem!

Madam, I know that this matter is wrong and goes against common sense. However, I can’t hide my admiration for you.

The moon is beautiful tonight. Looking at you makes me feel like I’m in the moon palace.

Can you let me meet you a few more times, even if it’s just for a conversation?

Madam, I will only borrow one night of your life.” “Just like that…”

At the side, Ao Yi and Li Changshou were speechless. Elder Moon seriously recorded those words.

Bian Zhuang continued to talk and provide different strategies.

The man and dragon at the side turned around in unison.

Li Changshou took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Ao Yi. He made a neck-splitting gesture at Ao Yi.

Ao Yi nodded to express that he understood. He calmly put away the porcelain bottle, but he could not bear to do so.

“Brother Sect Master, we were the ones who asked him to say that. Isn’t it inappropriate to beat him up like that?”

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Bian Zhuang say behind him, “If your deeds are exposed, you can thicken your skin and argue for justice. You can shout at the demon king who caught you red-handed. You can say, ‘What you have lost is your dignity and face as a male demon. However, what your wife has lost is the true destiny of marriage!’ That way, we can fight all the way.” Ao Yi silently took out his sword. His long dragon eyes emitted a ferocious glow. Li Changshou hurriedly stopped him.

Second Senior Brother might be of great use in the future. He cannot be castrated just like that.

Bian Zhuang, who was developing a new train of thought at the side, shivered for some reason. However, at that moment, his sense of mission and honor was a little high. He did not bother about it and continued to talk to Elder Moon.

He did not know how long the demons of the North Continent could last.

Half a year after Lu Ya sent the declaration to the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou had been busy in the Heavenly Courts. When the various departments of the Heavenly Courts were on the right track, the recruitment of the Heavenly Soldiers and the selection of Heavenly Generals returned to normal. Only then did he gradually leave. He arranged for a few paper effigies to monitor the situation in the North Continent’s underground. At the same time, he wanted to test the “battle results” of the immortals of the Heavenly Courts. In the first half a year, the results of the Hall of Marriage were the best.

He wanted to help the single Demon King pull the red string to wear down his fighting spirit and make him worry.

He had tied the red string for the Demon King and his wife, causing dozens of pairs to fight. More than ten young Demon Kings had died because of that. Apart from the Hall of Marriage, the Thunder Punishment Hall was the second place to achieve victory. Then, there were the Divine Might Hall and the Divine Toilet Hall.

At the border of the North Continent, the four seasons were abnormal. The place where the demons gathered was barren and the spiritual energy was gradually turbid.

Heavenly lightning struck unknowingly, and Heavenly Flames surged. In the sunset glow in the west, words like “the demons are about to die”, “the demons are unjust”, “they will self-destruct if they do anything wrong”, and “they will die if they fight with the Heavenly Courts” often appeared. The demons were under great pressure. At that moment, the smaller demons with low cultivation levels no longer had much morale. The other living beings retreated far away… In the miasma of the North Continent, Magi often appeared. The immortal sects in the north of the Middle Continent, which were heading south, joined forces to seal the border, preventing the demons from stepping foot on the Middle Continent. Fortunately, there were other demon factions at the other boundaries that continuously provided backup for the demon army of the North Continent’s Anti-Heaven, allowing them to continue enduring.

In just half a year, many cracks had appeared in the relationship between the demons. However, they were suppressed by the ancient demons. Li Changshou had never captured any traces of Daoist Lu Ya. He had been monitoring him for half a year, but he had never heard of any military advisors appearing in the demons. That puzzled Li Changshou.

Lu Ya thought of this move himself?

I don’t think so.

On the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou retracted most of his attention. He, who was meditating quietly in the bamboo forest, opened his eyes.

Li Changshou looked at the lively chess room and could not help but laugh.

It was rare for everyone to be present. Ling’e and Youqin Xuanya, who had just come out of seclusion, were also drinking tea and chatting in the chess room. They were playing the zither and playing chess. Grandmaster Jiang Lin’er, Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu, and Aunt-Master Jiu Yushi were fighting fiercely with each other.

Li Changshou rode a cloud to the spiritual beast enclosure and observed Xiong Lingli, who was in seclusion. He sent a voice transmission to call Lingle and Youqin Xuanya out of the pavilion. At the same time, he also revealed some things about the Heavenly Courts to Ling’e. “Senior Brother!” “Senior Brother Changshou,” Youqin Xuanya greeted gently and bowed to Li Changshou. Ling’e and Youqin Xuanya flew over on a cloud at the same time. Their clothes fluttered in the wind. They were beautiful, but they each had their own charm. Ling’e was like a pure and flawless piece of white jade. She had her hair combed into an exquisite sideburn, a pure white tube top, and a light green silk dress embroidered with orchids. Together with the light white dress that reached her waist, her figure was so beautiful that it could not be described as exquisite. Youqin Xuanya was dressed in her favorite icy-blue dress. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and her snow-white swan neck complemented her perfect curves. However, her figure could not overshadow her beautiful face.

Although Li Changshou could summarize it with one word…

They were simply pleasing to the eye. Li Changshou set up a barrier around the three of them. He looked at the Sensing Stone on his body, as well as the jade tokens that isolated him from his two junior sisters. He went straight to the point. “Xuanya, how far are you from the Heaven Immortal realm?”

Xuanya?

Ling’e blinked. When did Senior Brother become so familiar with Senior Sister Youqin?! Youqin Xuanya said, “I will need at least ten years of seclusion… Senior Brother Changshou, is my cultivation progress too slow?” “Cultivation does not depend on speed. You have already worked very hard,” Li Changshou said warmly. He took out two bottles of pills and handed them to Youqin Xuanya with his immortal power.

“This is a pill to increase your cultivation level and increase the connection between Qi Refinement cultivators and the Great Dao. You can only take one pill every ten years. Don’t be anxious. Cultivate step by step. You can break through as much as you can with this pill.”

Li Changshou reminded them worriedly and asked, “Have the two of you heard about the war between the demons and the Heavenly Courts?”

“I’ve heard of it,” Ling’e said. “Many Aunt-Masters and Uncle-Masters in the sect say that they often hear about it using the Wind Speech Incantation.”

Youqin Xuanya said, “Do the Heavenly Courts need manpower?”

“That’s right, but there’s no hurry,” Li Changshou said. “The Heavenly Courts are currently in the midst of rising. I want to nurture you, Xuanya, into a respected hero of the Heavenly Courts. Therefore, I need you to have the support of a Heaven Immortal realm cultivation level. Now, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are mainly men. However, the strength of the Qi Refinement cultivators is balanced. If the Heavenly Courts can produce a valiant and heroic female general who does not give in, it will naturally be beneficial to the Heavenly Courts.”

Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips and cupped her fists. She lowered her head and said firmly, “I will not disappoint you, Senior Brother!” “Yes!”

I’ll rely on you to improve the leadership of the female Qi Refinement cultivators of the Primordial World!

Of course, he could not say that out loud. Li Changshou continued, “Ling’e, how are your preparations for the training going?” “Well… not twelve years later… Hehe, Senior Brother, you’re really willing to let me face this cold Primordial World.” Li Changshou nodded. “Yes, I’m willing. Moreover, I’m very willing…”

Before he finished speaking, the three of them suddenly heard a greeting. “Ling’e is going out to train? That’s not a bad thing.” Great Daoist Master!

Li Changshou turned around and saw a spinning Taiji Painting beside him. Li Changshou could not be mistaken about the power of the Connate Cardinal treasure Taiji Painting.

The Great Daoist Master’s voice sounded. “Changgeng, come with your two junior sisters. Guess what I brought for you?” Li Changshou was bewildered. He reminded Ling’e and Xuanya not to be rude. Then, he led the two of them into the Taiji Painting and arrived at the valley near the Immortal Du Sect.

In the chess room, Jiu Jiu looked in the direction of the spiritual beast enclosure and muttered, “Why did he suddenly disappear?”

“Do you miss him?” Jiang Lin’er squinted and smiled. “You can go and take a look too. A pair of Heaven Immortals!”

“Master’s wife, you just fought two Heaven Immortals,” Jiu Yushi said softly. “I have a Heaven Immortal’s note here.” “Ah, is that so? Hahahaha! I didn’t cheat!”

Note: Some of the characters in the book have bad values. Promise the author to be Ao Yi and not learn from Second Senior Brother.
