Chapter 603: The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School

No, do you have to tease me like that?

Grandmaster, why are you so obvious? You should at least leave some dignity…

Even if he made some contributions later, such as carrying tens of thousands of fairies across the Cloud Road, helping the Netherworld convert some female vengeful spirits, sealing Bian Zhuang’s immortal power and throwing it into the Heavenly River, the Dao Ancestor would pretend to be touched and make up for the power of merit that he owed previously. That would be something.

But now!

Does he not care about his pride?

Does he need to stay in the Primordial World?

In the golden light, Li Changshou stood up and looked serious. His slender figure stood upright and looked up at the golden cloud in the sky.

His face was dignified and his aura was not strong!

Ling’e blinked. She did not know what to say or do. Li Changshou shouted loudly, “Thank you, Grandmaster, for understanding the difficulty of my cultivation and handling matters. You have bestowed me with boundless merit! I’m willing to sacrifice my life for the Heavenly Courts. It’s my duty as a disciple of the Dao Sect to resolve the troubles for Grandmaster!”

Hard Luck.

The golden light in the sky slowly dissipated, and the many auspicious signs disappeared.

Li Changshou stood for a while. His back view was a little bleak.

He sent a voice transmission and asked Xiong Lingli, who was secretly eating grilled fish in the spiritual beast enclosure, to go out. He sent away the immortals who had come to watch the fun and quietly lay back on the reclining chair.

The Spirit Platform Merit Pool was 80% full again.

Li Changshou did some calculations. According to the merit that he had contributed to the stability of the world, what he had just given was what he had owed previously.

The Heavenly Dao was impartial. The Dao Ancestor was not lying to a child. He would definitely give what he said. However, the time he gave was all up to the Dao Ancestor.

Li Changshou covered his Dao heart with two layers of barriers and activated the various array formations of the Little Qiong Peak. At the same time, he activated the Heaven-Shrouding Array nearby. Then, he gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart,

Damn it!

That would be a blow to his enthusiasm as an ordinary minister.

Forget it…

What else could he do?

He did not dare to offend the Dao Ancestor. In the past, he felt that as long as he followed the trend and actively displayed his subjective initiative during the changes of the world, he would be able to achieve 80% of what he wanted.

However, Li Changshou realized that there were many restrictions and precautions.

The Great Dao of Equalization that he had comprehended was a good thing and a bad thing.

The good thing was that he had infinite possibilities and had become the greatest variable in the world. If he used it well, he could even use it to balance, restrict, and monitor the Heavenly Dao.

The bad thing was that his foundation was too weak and he did not have much accumulation. He had to rely on the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Courts to rise. Now, if he took a wrong step, it would be an impasse.

“Senior Brother?”

Ling’e carried the supreme-grade Postnatal merit escape numinous treasure, the Longevity Shuttle, and came over. “Can you still extract the merit inside?”

“No.” Li Changshou smiled bitterly. “Don’t worry. I’m fine. I’m just a little depressed.

Let me be alone for a while. Later, make some dishes and drinks. Have a drink with me.”

“Yes!”

Ling’e hurriedly agreed. She held the shuttle and put away her personal reclining chair. She rode a cloud to the stove by the lake.

Although it was not appropriate for her to be happy when her senior brother was depressed, Ling’e could not help but smile. She flew much more agilely and even hummed a happy ballad when she flew out of the Pill Chamber.

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

He missed Chef Bai very much.

He could not live in sorrow.

Li Changshou quickly adjusted his mentality and forgot about the Merit Golden Body. He began to look for Dharma treasures to refine with his merit.

Not counting the numinous treasures that his teacher had lent him, the few treasures that he had in his hands could only be used for killing stronger enemies, the Little God-Slaying Spear that had unlimited potential, and the Heart-Piercing Lock that was used for surprise attacks.

His ideal achievement was to refine one or two defensive numinous treasures as trump cards.

Previously, he thought that it would be difficult to give Yun Xiao the robe. However, after considering it carefully, he felt that it wasn’t too practical.

Men basically knew how to work.

However, clothes were the most difficult to refine. It was not possible to create some cloth and sew them together. A few talismans could be used to defend.

Back then, when Li Changshou was selling pills in the town and attacking the Immortal Du Sect’s pill business, he had seen an immortal dress that was really “particular”.

Every thread was engraved with restrictions such as “Spirit Building”, “Spirit Gathering”, “Spirit Solidification”, and “Light Effect”. They were woven into a treasure robe.

The restrictions of each silk thread were connected and complemented each other. The overall effect was outstanding.

That was a form of knowledge. Without hundreds or thousands of years of effort, he would not have the time to immerse himself in that Dao.

Yun was still in the Tribulation.

Li Changshou thought to himself that although the Jade Emperor had given the decree, it still could not solve the problem of the Three Xiao Immortals suffering the same fate.

The powerful treasures in Yun Xiao’s hand were only the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice and the Nine Bends Yellow River’s array diagrams. She naturally had to give the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors and the Dragon Binding Ropes to Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao.

If he were to fight in the future and adapt to the calamity, he would easily pale in comparison.

The Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice was both offensive and defensive. The Nine Bends Yellow River Array was also a trapping array. Previously, when he was chasing after Kun Peng, he was holding the Qingping Sword of Uncle-Master Tongtian.

Speaking of which, why didn’t the Grandmaster of Heaven summon me over?

Previously, he said that he would use Kun Peng. It has been more than thirty years. Why is there no news about it?

Speaking of serious matters, if he wanted to give Yun Xiao a gift, he might as well get an offensive Dharma treasure.

Weapon? Or brick?

Li Changshou looked at his merit and could not help but fall into deep thought.

He was best at refining paper effigies.

Secondly, there was the “Ten-Fold Spirit Qi Cannon”, which was the core of the Little Qiong Peak’s defense system. It had almost destroyed the Great Daoist Master’s Pill Chamber’s main cannon.

It just so happened that he had obtained a senior’s “one in ten thousand foundation”. He did not lack any precious materials. He could also go to the Tushita Palace to seek “technical support” at any time.

A spiritual energy cannon?

When the dignified and gentle Yun Xiao fought with someone, she took out a spiritual energy robe from her sleeve and carried it on her shoulder. Before the other party could react, she blasted out a black line of destruction…

Li Changshou pondered for a while. His eyes flickered. He stood up and ran back to the Pill Chamber. His figure entered the secret chamber below.

Four hours later, Ling’e, who was surrounded by jade plates, floated over from the lake on a cloud.

“Where’s Senior Brother?”

She looked around and heard Li Changshou’s voice transmission.

“Sit at the door first. Come over immediately.”

“Yes,” Ling’e agreed. She skillfully set up a short table and a meditation cushion in front of the door. She placed the jade plates that were supported by immortal power into the shape of petals and poured a cup of wine for her senior brother.

Li Changshou quickly floated over. He held a jade token in his hand and looked thoughtful.

Ling’e, who had prepared a few topics, immediately understood that she had to be obedient and quiet. Senior Brother should be thinking about something important.

As expected, when Li Changshou was eating and drinking, he kept staring at the jade token in his hand. He took the initiative to talk to Ling’e about some general knowledge about refining weapons. The two of them even discussed it carefully for a while.

“Senior Brother, are you refining Dharma treasures for Sister Yun Xiao?”

“Yes.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I can’t hide it from you. I came to take a look.”

Ling’e agreed and carried her meditation cushion over. She sat down beside her senior brother.

Li Changshou tapped his finger on the jade token. Flowing light surrounded the jade token, and the immortal light condensed into a three-dimensional image. It was the “100x Spirit Qi Cannon” that Li Changshou had designed.

The cannon looked ordinary. It was a long-barreled cannon that was narrow at the front and wide at the back. However, there were more than a thousand Dharma artifacts on it. These Dharma artifacts formed a complete Dharma treasure.

“What does 100 times spiritual energy mean?”

“This refers to the usage rate of spiritual energy.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “If an ordinary Golden Immortal’s usage rate of spiritual energy is one, the meaning of the 100 times spiritual energy cannon is 100%. Of course, there was still a lot of space.

I can’t tell you much about this Dao, lest it affects your future cultivation. You just have to understand it. Most Qi Refinement cultivators use spiritual energy for their own purposes. They turn it into Dharma powers in their bodies. As their Dao realm increases, the use of spiritual energy that is compatible with their Great Dao would increase significantly. Under the premise of the same number, the purer the Dharma powers and immortal power, the more powerful the mystical abilities and Dharma spells will be, right?”

“Yes!”

“However, Ling’e, have you ever thought that the essence of spiritual energy and Dharma powers has changed?”

Ling’e blinked, indicating that the question was beyond her ability. Moreover, her senior brother’s serious face was very good-looking.

“Nothing has changed?”

“There are no changes. The mystical abilities and Dharma spells that were shot out eventually turned into spiritual energy. The consumption of spiritual energy is very small. Ordinary Golden Immortals only have a one in a thousand ratio of spiritual energy.”

Li Changshou smiled faintly. “When I set up the Little Qiong Peak’s array previously, I had thought about how to completely trigger the energy of the spiritual energy. Ling’e, place the two mirrors together and leave a certain angle. Shine a beam of light into it and reflect it twice before returning the way you came. If a wisp of spiritual energy enters the special Dharma artifact channel continuously, it can release more energy in a short period of time. This is the concept of the Spirit Qi Cannon. However, there are many problems that need to be resolved. I decide to seek guidance from the Grand Supreme Elder later…”

Ling’e watched in a daze as Li Changshou explained happily. In the end, Ling’e could not understand what her senior brother was saying, but she felt that it was very impressive…

Hence, fifteen years later.

Beside the lake of the Little Qiong Peak, a 300-feet-long cylinder cannon perfectly lit up all the restrictions.

Li Changshou pointed his sword and a vortex appeared at the end of his robe. Wind blew in all directions from the Little Qiong Peak.

In almost an instant, the vortex drained half of the spiritual energy of the Little Qiong Peak!

Li Changshou smiled in satisfaction, his eyes filled with emotions.

Next, he had to find a place to shoot and test its true power.

Li Changshou’s main body brought the long cannon and sneaked out of the Grand White Palace. He did not even tell the Jade Emperor’s incarnation that he had used a fake identity and flew out of the five continents.

In the void, Li Changshou summoned a mountain and set up layers of cheap but sturdy array formations as targets. He released the “100x Spirit Qi Cannon” and shot it from afar.

The mountain shattered!

In front of the pitch-black pillar of light that emitted purple arcs, the mountain and the array formation only lasted for half an instant!

If Li Changshou had not stopped in time and the stream of light had not shot out, many living beings might have died if it had hit a Sector.

Yes, its power was not bad.

Then, Li Changshou returned to the Heavenly Courts and chose an auspicious day. He resolved a series of problems and officially injected merit into the long cannon.

What surprised Li Changshou was that he could no longer absorb such a huge cannon with only three successes.

Li Changshou carefully experienced it. It seemed that the Heavenly Dao had restricted him.

No matter how strong they were, they could easily destroy the environment of the Primordial World and cause irreversible damage to the world.

One should know when to stop.

After all, it was only a killing treasure for Yun Xiao to protect herself and sneak attack.

The long cannon that had been integrated with merit was like a golden glass. There was immortal light circulating inside, and the muzzle emitted an obscure Dao rune.

The refinement of some key parts was personally completed by the Grand Supreme Elder.

After the first phase of the project was over, the next step would be to start from portability, hand sensitivity, accuracy, concealment, and so on. He had to improve.

This pursuit lasted for another ten years.

The years in the mountain passed quickly. Apart from cultivating and refining artifacts, Li Changshou continued to pay attention to the matters of the world and protect the peaceful Heavenly Courts.

The battles in the trichiliocosm did not stop, but the casualties began to be controlled. The battle entered the void and had become a rule that all factions had to follow.

Not only did the five continents not quieten down because of the spiritual mountain, but they also became extremely noisy. More and more immortal sects in the Middle Continent were fighting for the opportunity of the calamity.

Six Immortal Sects of the Three Schools had been destroyed in the past twenty years.

The Immortal Sects that were not from the Three Schools had been destroyed in the past twenty years.

The intensity of the battle between the immortals could be imagined. Many experts who were unwilling to fight fled the trichiliocosm. Half of the areas there were relatively safe.

The South Continent and the North Continent were peaceful with the Four Seas. The mortal Shang Nation obediently passed on their lineages and under the protection of the Heavenly Dao, they continued to advance towards that era.

The problem of the Four Seas’ dragon race became more and more obvious.

As time passed, the dragon race stabilized their footing in the world again. Many children of the dragon race’s nobles and aristocrats did not have much strength to revive. Now that they had a foundation, they began to expand.

Li Changshou felt a headache. If he were to be ruthless to the dragon race, it would appear that he was not benevolent. It would seem that he was burning bridges.

However, if he allowed the dragon race to continue expanding, a calamity would be inevitable for the dragon race.

After thinking about it, he could only write a few letters to the Dragon King and let Ao Yi persuade him.

Unfortunately, the old Dragon King was bored and did not respond.

The most difficult thing was Ao Yi’s father, the head of the dragon race.

Li Changshou could only continue to observe. He did not want to intervene too early…

To be safe, the Heavenly Courts had to condemn the extravagant style of the dragon race.

Finally, a Dharma treasure had been tossed around for 25 to 26 years.

Li Changshou’s brilliant ideas, the support of Senior Lang’s inheritance, Li Changshou took out a satisfactory product.

A top-grade Postnatal Merit Numinous treasure, a hundred-fold Spirit Qi Crossbow!

There was no concept of “cannon” in the Primordial World. Li Changshou had an idea and named it “crossbow”.

Beside the Spirit Lake of the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou carried the spiritual energy cannon that could be reduced to five feet long on his shoulder and gestured.

“Ling’e, look! Imagine your Sister Yun Xiao carrying this treasure cannon. Isn’t it impressive? Isn’t it domineering?”

Ling’e blinked and whispered something that she had not dared to say for more than twenty years.

“Senior Brother, are you sure that Sister Yun Xiao… will like such a treasure?”

Li Changshou was clearly stunned. He held the treasure cannon with his immortal power and observed it from the side. He even specially took out a female paper effigy and tried to carry it…

“This? I forgot about that problem. The main consideration of giving gifts is whether the other party likes it or not.”

Ling’e hurriedly said, “As long as it’s from Senior Brother, Sister will definitely like it since you’re so gentle.”

“It’s not right to give a cannon to a fairy.”

Li Changshou folded his arms and scrutinized them. He looked at his Merit Pool and the legacy of Senior Lang that did not cost much. He snapped his fingers handsomely.

“In that case, let’s set it up!”

“What complete set?”

“Magical Dharma treasures.”

Hence, a hundred years later.

…

Three-Immortal Island.

Li Changshou rode a cloud and floated over slowly. Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao had long gone to wait outside the fog.

As soon as the two of them met, Li Changshou took out two brocade boxes from his sleeve. He said, “A small gift for you.” The two fairies smiled and called Li Changshou Brother-in-law, guiding him into the Three-Immortal Island.

Bi Xiao giggled. “Brother-in-law, you haven’t come to the island to see Sister for so many years. Did you bring any treasures?”

“Yes, yes.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “However, this item is very important. You can’t show it to others casually. I can only show it to you later.”

Qiong Xiao snorted. “Petty brat, you clearly weren’t prepared!”

Li Changshou smiled and did not explain.

This time, he had specially come for the gift.

After entering the Three-Immortal Island and finding the Immortal Pavilion, Yun Xiao, who was cultivating, was woken up by Qiong Xiao. When she saw Li Changshou from the window sill, she inadvertently smiled.

He said, “Wait a moment. I’ll wash up.”

Then, she lowered her head and returned to her boudoir. Her footsteps were light. She set up a few layers of barriers and changed into a plain and elegant dress.

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao mocked Li Changshou for a while and went elsewhere to play. However, their immortal senses were locked onto him.

Li Changshou waited quietly in front of the Immortal Pavilion for a while. He chose a beach on the Three-Immortal Island as a place to display later. There was a faint smile in his eyes.

Elder Lord, you’ve worked hard!

He was grateful to Mei Wenhua and the other four plums, who were locked in the Grand White Palace, for providing him with materials for his image!

He did not expect that he could create such a thing.

Considering the cruelty of the Primordial World battle and the “extreme speed players”, Li Changshou specially added various array formations and perfectly integrated his miniature array formation concept…

“Why did you suddenly come over?”

Yun Xiao’s gentle voice interrupted Li Changshou’s reverie.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “I was worried that you would lack Dharma treasures. I specially refined one for you to protect yourself.”

Yun Xiao could not help but smile and say, “I have a Golden Chalice. I don’t lack it anymore. Just keep it.”

“There’s still a calamity ahead of you. I’m only mediating in the Heavenly Courts.” Li Changshou extended his right hand. “Come, let’s find a quiet place.”

His action of reaching out was very natural. However, Yun Xiao hesitated slightly before picking up a slender hand and placing it in Li Changshou’s palm.

The two of them walked together to the beach that Li Changshou had previously seen.

Li Changshou set up two more layers of array formations and three barriers, causing Yun Xiao to be even more curious.

“This treasure is no small matter. It can be considered the limit that I can do under the permission of the Heavenly Dao. The Grand Supreme Elder helped me the entire time. Remember, you are the only one who can use this item. You can’t give it to Qiong Xiao or Bi Xiao. Even if they roll around on the ground, you can’t be soft-hearted. If you abuse it, there will be huge karma.”

Yun Xiao was even more curious.

Yun Xiao asked, “What thing makes you so nervous?”

“You can interpret it as a piece of clothing or a special avatar. Look.”

Li Changshou flipped his left hand and held a palm-sized jade statue in his palm.

The jade statue was Yun Xiao’s face and figure. She was dressed in a long dress and looked lifelike.

Yun Xiao was rather happy when she saw that. However, before she could smile, Li Changshou threw it gently. The jade statue shone brightly and flew a thousand feet away. Its body suddenly expanded!

In the next moment!

A 2,000-feet-tall jade statue stood quietly on the beach. It had a jade-like texture. From top to bottom, wisps of spiritual energy surged inside and outside.

Under the sunlight, it appeared translucent. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was filled with restrictions and talismans.

“This is…”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Half of the treasures obtained from the Chaos Sea have been used on it.”

As he spoke, Li Changshou opened his palm and aimed it at the side of the jade statue. Light surged in his palm.

Buzz…

Buzz—

Rapid sounds came from the jade statue up and down. Layers of light circles swayed up and down. The closed eyes of the jade statue suddenly opened, and vortexes appeared behind it. The boundless spiritual energy above the East Ocean surged over!

It raised its right arm and activated a sturdy protective array formation!

The slender legs under the “hemline” took a step forward. The universe trembled. More than ten array formations were activated instantly. Yun Xiao felt that her immortal power was not smooth.

It raised its left hand, and a black muzzle appeared in its palm.

“This is the main crossbow. It’s the most powerful.”

Li Changshou explained with a smile.

The palm that the jade statue raised swayed gently. The immortal light on the fixed skirt shone, and 360 small black holes appeared.

There were no blind spots!

“Do you like it? It’s compatible with your Nine Bend Yellow River Array. It’s perfect.”

Li Changshou asked warmly.

Yun Xiao was speechless.

“Yes.” Yun Xiao nodded slightly and saw a line of small words written on the jade statue’s right arm. There was only tenderness in her eyes.

“To the gentlest Yuh.”

“Achoo!”

In Magu Cave of the Middle Continent, on the second immortal mountain,

Perfected Huang Long, who was meditating, trembled. When he was comprehending the Dao, he sneezed. He opened his eyes and muttered. He changed to a huge bed in the cave and continued to rest.
