Chapter 744: Master of Taking Over

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Greetings, Grand Supreme Elder.”

Li Changshou, the fake Void Bodhi, stood up and bowed to the Grand Supreme Elder. He also put the spiritual herbs into the jade box.

Don’t misunderstand. He was not announcing the ownership of the spiritual herb.

Be it the position of the Void Bodhi or his true identity, he naturally did not dare to snatch the spiritual herb from the Grand Supreme Elder.

He held the jade box forward and pushed the Grand Supreme Elder with his immortal power. There was a hint of pity on his face, but he did not hesitate.

That was something the Void Bodhi would do.

What is the Grand Supreme Elder? Which big shot?

If the Grand Supreme Elder took the spiritual herb today, he would be weak.

Although there was a Saint who had played with his pride, the Grand Supreme Elder was virtuous and respected. He would not take advantage of a junior without giving anything in return.

It was the case even if this junior had once been enemies with Ren School and the Heavenly Courts.

The Grand Supreme Elder did not need to care about that.

Indeed, the Grand Supreme Elder raised his hand slightly and let the jade box float above the green ox’s head. He asked calmly, “What pill do you want?”

The Void Bodhi lowered his head and said, “It’s naturally more appropriate to offer such herbs to the Grand Supreme Elder than to let them go to waste in my hands. Please accept them and treat it as forming a good relationship with me.”

“Medicinal pills,” the Grand Supreme Elder said calmly.

What he meant was that he did not want to form a good relationship with the Void Bodhi.

Li Changshou was happy.

My teachers are too cute.

The “Void Bodhi” looked up and stared at the Grand Supreme Elder. A strange glint flashed in his eyes.

The Grand Supreme Elder frowned slightly… He did not understand what the look meant.

The Void Bodhi said in a low voice, “Grand Supreme Elder, I do lack a pill. Previously, I was injured. My Dao realm was sealed and my Dao base was unstable. I want to ask you to give me a precious pill to stabilize my Dao base.”

“Yes?”

The Grand Supreme Elder looked at the jade box in front of him and then at the Void Bodhi. He rolled off the ox’s back.

“Come.”

The green ox mooed and transformed into… a boy with a stream of light.

Little Silver!

The green ox was indeed not at home! He had gone down the mountain to play the Bull Demon King!

The corners of Li Changshou’s lips twitched wildly. He could not help but raise his hand to cover his eyes and ride the Void Bodhi forward.

Little Silver carried two meditation cushions and placed them on the grass beside him without looking at the Void Bodhi.

The Grand Supreme Elder sat upright on a meditation cushion. The Void Bodhi lowered its head and walked forward. After some hesitation, it sat opposite the Grand Supreme Elder.

The Grand Supreme Elder said calmly, “Extend your hand.”

That expression reminded Li Changshou of the old Chinese doctor he had seen in his previous life.

He extended his left hand honestly and pointed at his palm. His expression was filled with disdain. Soon, he shook his head slightly and gestured for Little Silver to return the jade box to the Void Bodhi.

“No.”

“Well?”

The Void Bodhi hurriedly said, “Grand Supreme Elder, although I have committed many mistakes, that was ultimately because I was young and ignorant. I fought for fame and profit. Now, I know that everything is ultimately superficial. Grand Supreme Elder, please…”

“The Dao Realm is also superficial.”

The Grand Supreme Elder said calmly and stood up. He pushed down the jade box containing the spiritual herbs and stood up to walk to the side.

Little Silver shook his body and transformed into the shape of a green ox. Then, it carried the Grand Supreme Elder and slowly walked back. Its figure disappeared in the clouds.

The “Void Bodhi” was lost. He sat on the spot for a long time until the meditation cushion in front of him turned into dust and dissipated. Only then did he sigh and put away the jade box in his hand.

The entire process looked normal.

The Grand Supreme Elder wouldn’t bother to attack one of the few remaining elders of the Western Sect like the Void Bodhi. The Void Bodhi was also rather respectful to the Grand Supreme Elder. Moreover, everyone knew that the Grand Supreme Elder was an authoritative mighty figure in the Primordial World who could refine pills and artifacts. It was very reasonable for him to use spiritual herbs to ask for pills.

In the end, the Grand Supreme Elder looked displeased. He sensed that the Heavenly Dao had sealed the Dao realm of the Void Bodhi. It was impossible to resolve it with pills, so he said, “There’s no hope.”

Naturally, it was unlikely that the Grand Supreme Elder would ridicule the Void Bodhi. After expressing that he did not save him, bade farewell, and did not have to send him off, he rode his ox and left. He was rather carefree.

However, in reality…

When the Grand Supreme Elder pointed at the Void Bodhi’s palm, wisps of spiritual perception appeared in his Dao heart. It seemed like a spiritual treasure was communicating with living beings.

At that moment, the green ox walked through the void. The Grand Supreme Elder carefully sensed the spiritual perception and did not reveal any expression.

What did Li Changshou say?

He memorized the formula for the Flame of Heart on the spot and immediately explained his plan after confirming his identity.

“Grand Supreme Elder, I’m using the Void Bodhi Body to battle with the Dao Ancestor. There is one thing that I need the Grand Supreme Elder to do… It is pertaining to the spiritual monkey, Wukong. He is my disciple and a pawn of the Dao Ancestor. I want to give him more benefits so that he can resist the Dao Ancestor’s schemes more. There is no need to worry about his character. Although the monkey is arrogant, he is compassionate. Later, he would cause trouble in the Heavenly Courts. At that time, he would go to the Tushita Palace and ask the Grand Supreme Elder to make some pills to increase his strength. I placed a huge array formation on it and used it to protect him at the crucial moment. The more spiritual energy there is, the stronger the array formation will be.”

The corners of the Grand Supreme Elder’s mouth twitched slightly. He rode the green ox and silver version to the next herb-picking place.

When the spiritual perception appeared in the Grand Supreme Elder’s heart, a voice transmission echoed in the depths of Li Changshou’s Dao heart and slowly dissipated.

It was the spiritual will that the Grand Supreme Elder had sent to Li Changshou when he tapped his palm.

Compared to Li Changshou’s long speech, the spiritual will was very short. However, the words in the spiritual will made Li Changshou’s nose sting.

“The Grand Pure One is fine. We share the same thoughts. I knew that you would return. Don’t be too tired. If you can’t do it, you will have to destroy it first.”

This…

Li Changshou’s heart trembled.

This short interaction and short interaction made him feel much more at ease.

The Grand Supreme Elder should have been a secret move left behind by Teacher. On the surface, he was no longer related to Teacher. He was just an incarnation that adhered to the Grand Pure One’s will to protect the Heavenly Courts.

He even deceived the Heavenly Dao and felt that the Grand Supreme Elder’s existence was beneficial to the Heavenly Courts and the Heavenly Dao.

However, in fact, the Grand Supreme Elder and the Grand Pure One were of the same mind… Their relationship was very mysterious.

Li Changshou suddenly thought of something. A Taiji Painting appeared in his heart. The Taiji Painting slowly rotated, and two figures appeared on the fish eyes of the Yin-Yang Twin Fish.

Teacher, Grand Supreme Elder.

He inhaled sharply…

Yes, the Great Dao of Yin and Yang!

Teacher and the Grand Supreme Elder should be one and the same. Moreover, Teacher has already done it. He split his Dao heart into two and deduced the Dao of Yin and Yang. Then, he combined them into one and formed a supreme Great Dao!

Teacher and the Grand Supreme Elder are indeed two living beings. Due to the conflict between Yin and Yang, the two living beings are perfectly divided and cannot interfere with each other.

However, because of the principle of Yin and Yang coexisting, the two living beings were essentially one living being, the Grand Pure One!

Only in this way could he separate himself. On one hand, he represented Yin, and on the other, he represented Yang. They complemented and restrained each other. Only then could he deduce the Great Dao of Yin and Yang to the extreme!

The Grand Supreme Elder had actually participated in the battle in the Purple Cloud Palace that day. He did not go to the Grand Supreme Elder, but to the Grand Dao of the Grand Supreme Elder!

The Grand Pure One’s ability to suppress the other five Saints and defeat the Dao Ancestor in a battle of magical powers was because when the Grand Pure One and the Grand Supreme Elder’s Great Dao merged, they could enter the realm of Yin and Yang Convergence and Primordial Chaos Infinite!

His teacher’s combat strength is comparable to the Primordial Chaos Limitless Saint!

Unfortunately, his teacher was not the true Primordial Chaos Limitless Saint. He could not bear to extract half of the spiritual energy of the Primordial World to become a Great Dao Saint.

Half of the spiritual energy in the Primordial World was extracted to become a Saint. It was the exact conclusion that the mighty figures of the ancient times had deduced together.

However, the “spiritual energy” here did not refer to the various attributes and attribute spiritual energy that floated in the Primordial World. It also included the spiritual energy that turned into Dharma powers and aura and stored in the bodies of living beings.

When the power of living beings was at its peak, if one wanted to become a True Sage, they had to kill the experts of living beings and release the spiritual energy that they occupied.

The Grand Pure One could always do it, but he never did it.

Sigh…

Without becoming a True Sage, he could not sever the connection between the Dao Ancestor and the essence of the world.

After becoming a True Sage, he had to make the Primordial World suffer heavy losses. The power of living beings had completely fallen to the bottom and could not rise.

If his teacher launched the Great Saint Tribulation, there would naturally be experts who would escape. The spiritual energy in the world would ultimately be controlled by a few mighty figures. That would be the end of the Primordial Qi Refinement cultivators.

Li Changshou suddenly understood why his teacher was unwilling to accept more disciples.

The Grand Supreme Elder must have come to see me on purpose today.

In order for him not to worry too much and not to work too hard, he had his teacher to back him up so that he could pursue another path without worry.

Um…

Teacher is impressive.

“Ah.”

The Void Bodhi seemed to sigh in disappointment, but it was actually expressing its innermost thoughts.

He looked up at the five continents with a gloomy expression.

The next stop was to continue burying the nails.

In order not to disappoint his teacher, he also wanted to fulfill his teacher’s wish.

The final battle.

It was very close.

…

“Sister, have some tea.”

In the soundproof array formation in the corner of the hall in the Kun Peng Mystic Realm.

Ling’e was dressed in a short grass-green skirt and her long hair was tied around the young girl’s temples. The jade pendant at her waist rang. The necklace on her snow-white neck was emitting a faint immortal glow.

In the blink of an eye, many years had passed, but Ling’e remained unchanged.

After all, he was already a Golden Immortal. His days there were rather leisurely.

Senior Brother had been sitting cross-legged in the middle of the hall. He had been secretly plotting the Anti-Heaven plan in the Primordial World and had carried everything himself.

Her heart ached when she saw that, but she could not help much. She could only quietly accompany him, wait, and prepare.

If Senior Brother loses, I will comfort him carefully and help him dissipate his emotions.

If Senior Brother wins, I will cheer and encourage him. I will let him feel the post-victory atmosphere.

The teacup was placed on the short table in the middle of the soft couch. Ling’e sat down and supported her chin as she looked at Sister Yun Xiao, who was smiling and thanking her.

Yun Xiao was fiddling with a miniature array formation disc. When Li Changshou could not pull away, she was thinking about how to improve this item.

Compared to Ling’e, Yun Xiao’s changes were even smaller. After all, she was a Connate mighty figure. Less than a thousand years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Yun Xiao finally experienced the gloominess of not being able to talk to her lover.

However, she maintained her light makeup every day. She wanted that person to see her in her best state when she opened her eyes.

Her long hair was tied up at her temples, and her face was fair and translucent. From the tips of her slender fingers to the corners of her eyebrows, she was naturally beautiful and delicate.

Not to mention the male immortals, even Ling’e would often be entranced by Yun Xiao. She would not feel disgusted even after thousands of years.

Yun Xiao paused for a while and smiled gently at Ling’e. She asked gently, “Has Senior Brother Xuan Du returned from the previous commotion?”

“Yes.” Ling’e sighed and slowly lay on the short table. She pressed her forehead against the table. “This time, I killed some old villains of the Primordial World and gathered a lot of True Spirit power. Everyone is full of energy now. They all want to accumulate and one day kill their way back to the Primordial World.”

Yun Xiao put away the miniature array formation disc and took out two jade talismans that Li Changshou had written.

“What do you think?”

Ling’e said weakly, “Senior Brother will definitely win…”

Yun Xiao smiled faintly and said, “To be able to compete with the Dao Ancestor to such an extent, he is already enough to make us proud. We will quietly wait for him to finish these things and return to seclusion here with him. Everything will be fine.”

“Hehehe.” Ling’e suddenly laughed foolishly.

Yun Xiao said gently, “Don’t laugh like that. We have to be more dignified at all times.”

“Sister!” Ling’e sat up and blinked her beautiful eyes. “Let’s set up the wedding items in advance!”

“This… will probably make people laugh.” Yun Xiao smiled and said, “It’s as if we can’t wait to get married.”

“Why should we care about them?” Ling’e said. “According to Senior Brother’s previous plan, in the past few years, Senior Brother has smiled and teased him a few times. Clearly, Senior Brother is very close to success. According to the experience that I have accumulated through long-term observation, my senior brother’s chances of winning are definitely more than 95%. Otherwise, he would not occasionally show a relaxed expression. Sister, let’s make some preparations in advance. When Senior Brother wakes up, we’ll beat the gongs and drums here. How about that?”

Yun Xiao hummed softly and said gently, “It’s not impossible. It’s just that you have to be careful when you open the array formation. Don’t let anyone see you.”

Ling’e said excitedly, “Should we let Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu and the others come in to help?”

Yun Xiao pondered for a while and shook her head. “No. Apart from you and me, even Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao cannot enter this hall. Let’s not cause trouble for him. He previously said that the Kun Peng Mystic Realm might have the Dao Ancestor’s eyes. I pondered carefully and felt that it must be so. The Dao Ancestor would indeed do that. Otherwise, he would not be at ease with so many Anti-Heaven living beings gathered together.”

Ling’e asked softly, “Sister, who do you think is the most suspicious?”

“Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters.” Yun Xiao looked at Li Changshou and said softly, “This matter has yet to be decided. Let’s wait for him to wake up. We only have these experts left. It’s not worth it if we cause everyone to panic because of this matter. He should not want to investigate this matter and use such eyes to deceive the careless Dao Ancestor.”

Ling’e seemed to be in deep thought. She recalled carefully and said softly, “There are indeed a few people who asked me about Senior Brother’s situation. They paid too much attention to it.”

Yun Xiao smiled gently and continued to study the jade token in her hand. She said gently, “Don’t think too much. Let’s see how he decides.”

“Yes.” Ling’e sighed softly. She held her chin and looked at Yun Xiao’s side profile. “Sister, do you want to play cards with them for a while? Don’t you feel bored being in the hall all the time?”

Yun Xiao smiled and said gently, “He’s a Connate lifeform after all. He has lived for a long time.”

As she spoke, she looked at Li Changshou’s figure. There was finally some worry in her eyes.

“Sister, what’s wrong?”

“I’m just afraid that as time passes, there will be less novelty. Without the feeling of not getting tired of looking at each other, he will feel a little depressed.”

“Sister, you’re thinking too much.” Ling’e giggled. “I definitely won’t get tired of watching!”

Yun Xiao smiled and said, “I’m just worried. I can’t help but let my thoughts run wild recently.”

Her voice was gentle and her aura was soft.

The two of them continued to chat in the soundproof array formation. They shared a lot of each other’s worries.

In the middle of the hall, Li Changshou was still sitting quietly. He did not change at all. He only smiles occasionally and did not frown.

…

In the Heavenly Courts, the Imperial Horse Directorate.

Sun Wukong changed into the red official’s robe and looked around with his hands behind his back. He smugly went to the main hall.

Not bad, not bad. The horses are also very energetic today.

I’ll continue to the Horse Heavenly River later!

The Heavenly Courts had given him a minor official who was in charge of taming the horses. They thought that he did not know anything. However, the official who raised the horse for the Jade Emperor was an old monkey who raised a black bear for him.

Hmph, I’ll make use of this opportunity to find a good place in the Heavenly Courts. When I subdue the Heavenly Courts tomorrow, I’ll bring the monkeys here to enjoy life.

Sun Wukong shook his hands and his wide sleeve slipped down, revealing his furry claws. He said in a high-profile manner, “Someone, open the stall for me!”

Just as Monkey finished speaking, the immortal official beside him was about to agree when he heard a shout from outside the Imperial Horse Directorate.

“Come! Prepare the horses for me!”
