Chapter 122 - The Man In White In The Sea God Temple
Chapter 122 The Man In White In The Sea God Temple
It was a proper battle between Qi Refinement cultivators who were in the Dao Requital realm.
It was a battle for the immortal seedlings that stirred up a storm.
When the sword was half an inch away from Li Changshou’s neck, Li Changshou, who had already “exhausted his Dharma powers”, dropped the Spiked Mace in his hand and sighed.
“I lost.”
In front of him, Liu Sizhe, who was already trembling all over, could not help but look at him with pity.
It was a close victory.
Unfortunately, those were purely Li Changshou’s acting skills.
Liu Sizhe retracted his sword and hesitated to speak.
“Senior Brother, why don’t you use Earth Escape…”
Li Changshou looked at the armor and robe that were emitting a rich glow under Liu Sizhe’s waist. He smiled bitterly and said, “Junior Brother, you’re already prepared to deal with everything. Why bother asking?”
Liu Sizhe looked enlightened. Although he felt that something was amiss, he also felt that what Li Changshou said made sense.
Before Liu Sizhe could react… Li Changshou sighed softly and cupped his hands while facing Liu Sizhe. Then, he rode a cloud towards his seat.
In order to adhere to the situation where his Dharma powers were depleted, Li Changshou made the white clouds under his feet thinner. On the way, he did not forget to raise his hand to eat an inferior-grade elixir that could restore his Dharma powers.
The surrounding gazes that were fixed on him were no longer full of fear like before. Instead, their eyes were filled with respect and admiration.
Li Changshou thought to himself, This battle should be able to make up for the vicious image that I created previously. Although having such an image would not affect me much, a positive image would help me survive in the Immortal Du Sect.
“Senior Brother Li!”
Liu Sizhe suddenly shouted from behind. “Your Spiked Mace!”
Li Changshou turned his head slightly and replied with a smile, “This Dharma artifact is a memento for you, Junior Brother.”
Liu Sizhe’s expression changed. He lowered his head and looked at the “immortal weapon” on the ground. His heart stirred slightly. However, just as Liu Sizhe was about to lean forward and grab the Spiked Mace, it flew away on its own and landed in a pair of fair hands…
Jiu Jiu, who was a prestigious Jiu Immortal, appeared at the side and smiled.
She said, “Disciple-Nephew Changshou has forgotten that I’ve already reserved this treasure just now. I’m sorry, Disciple-Nephew Liu.”
Jiu Jiu waved her hand and rode a cloud towards Li Changshou and Ling’e.
Liu Sizhe bowed at Jiu Jiu’s back. As the executive at the side urged them to leave, he lowered his head in slight satisfaction and left.
It was truly an evocative battle that left one reminiscing
After taking two steps, Liu Sizhe suddenly came to his senses…
Is there any direct connection between the Earth Escape technique and the weak spot that the Spiked Mace strikes?
Li Changshou did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Little Aunt-Master bringing back the Spiked Mace that he had deliberately thrown away.
“Aunt-Master, this is just a Dharma artifact.”
Jiu Jiu glared at him and said fiercely, “I like it. Can’t I? Seriously, if you don’t want it, you should just ask me or Little Ling’e if we want to use it! Although this thing does not have much power, it has a unique appearance and looks really frightening! Carrying it on your shoulders would be a form of deterrence.”
Ling’e, who was standing at the side, covered her mouth and chuckled. She wanted to say something, but she was afraid that she would accidentally spill the beans, so she just smiled and remained silent.
Her senior brother had made many of those items in the past. She also had two or three Dharma artifacts that looked terrifying but were not very powerful.
Li Changshou had no choice. When he was creating those weapons, he did not have the energy to think about refining them.
If Li Changshou were to make another Spiked Mace, he would definitely have to fully exhibit the characteristics of a weapon like the Spiked Mace. He would then be able to add some minor details to the design, such as the Polluted Air Protective Immortal Glow, and the High-Frequency Vibrokinesis Protective Dharma treasure.
Li Changshou had already thought of how to promote the Spiked Mace.
The strongest and burliest man in Xiong Village shall carry the Spiked Mace, raise his thick eyebrows, and say in a gentle yet hoarse voice, “When fighting, the Spiked Mace would go very well with the top of your enemies’ heads… YO.”
The effect would definitely be not bad.
Of course, that was just a joke in his heart. The Spiked Mace was only a Dharma artifact that he could use to get up to some slight mischief.
If Li Changshou were to use all his firepower in a battle, he would have the ability to unleash his full cultivation level and mystical abilities by using his poisonous pills and miniature array formations. Apart from that, he would also use the True Samadhi Flames and Lightning Dharma, as well as many trump cards that he had yet to reveal.
Back when he fought the Blood Mosquito puppets, he had obtained a longsword which was a Numinous Treasure. Its power was extraordinary.
Li Changshou naturally accepted the Poison-Repelling Pearl.
“A good poisoner needs to be more resistant to poison.” The preparations he had made for the technical fights only gave him the ability to deal with his opponents when he needed to fight. It was not for him to initiate a fight.
He cultivated steadily in the mountains. It would be best if only the Heavenly Dao remembered his existence. That was Li Changshou’s unwavering pursuit…
There was no choice. The ceiling of the primeval world was too high. Achieving immortality was only the first step to becoming an expert.
Even if he became a so-called expert, he would still be reduced to ashes if he did not know how to avoid disasters in the face of a great calamity.
Only the Golden Body and Connate Numinous treasure could barely warm Li Changshou’s helpless and lonely heart, and give him a precious sense of security…
Little Aunt-Master was holding onto the Spiked Mace and denting it continuously to create some designs. Beside him, Ling’e kept commenting softly. Li Changshou maintained the Wind Speech Incantation and listened to everything. His lips curled into a gratified smile.
The opinions of the people who were discussing it started to change.
After losing that round, the more than half of the shadow that had covered the back of the disciples’ butts dissipated gradually.
As long as we do not meet again… Forget it, I can’t imagine it to be so easy.
In a while, I should still respond to all changes.
Li Changshou happened to hear some strange sounds through the Wind Speech Incantation. He scanned the area with his immortal senses and his mouth twitched.
In the various parts of the mountain slopes and valleys, a few disciples began to have some ideas based on the battle between Li Changshou and Liu Sizhe. They began to come up with strategies to deal with the Earth Escape and spikes in advance.
For example, they placed some mirror-like treasures behind them… They changed some Dharma treasures that were initially armors, into larger pants…
They were quite creative. The battles continued one after another. Most of the disciples tried their best to deal with it.
Ling’e, on the other hand, was quite lucky. She had not met any powerful opponents for five days in a row. She had relied on her Immortal Treasures to easily obtain four victories and was on par with her senior brother.
The sixth day arrived, followed by the seventh…
The internal competition in the sect continued, and the rankings of the disciples in the preliminary round gradually became clearer.
Li Changshou naturally advanced to the top 360 places. However, Ling’e who had lost another round, would have to win at least three rounds in the next five days. Ling’e was a little conflicted.
Previously, there was a battle which she could have won if she revealed her true cultivation level…
The seventh night of the sect competition arrived. Jiu Jiu carried her new Spiked Mace and went to the Immortal Du Hall to eat and drink.
Ling’e took the chance and asked softly, “Senior Brother, if I can’t get into the top 108 places, will I be… punished?”
Li Changshou turned to look at his junior sister. Under the moonlight, there was a little uneasiness on her face.
Have I been asking for too much from her?
After all, she’s only a teenager…
Li Changshou revealed a slight smile and transmitted his voice, “You’ll just have to sweep the floor in the Pill Chamber and wash my clothes. Just relax and fight.
You can do whatever you want in this internal sect competition.”
Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief and grimaced at Li Changshou. “You should have said so earlier. I’ve been worried about this for the past few days.”
“Let’s agree on three rules.”
“Okay.” Ling’e turned to look at the starry sky and quickly hid her expression.
A notable fact was that Youqin Xuanya almost won all seven battles in the first round with an overwhelming advantage.
Even when her opponent used the Earth Escape technique, Youqin Xuanya was able to deal with it calmly. She could handle a sword well with one hand and her swordsmanship had been recognized. The immortal sword flew into the soil and easily forced her opponent out.
She, the Head Disciple, had already become the most beautiful and attractive disciple of the younger disciples of the Immortal Du Sect…
Her aptitude was outstanding, and she had Immortal Treasures to protect her. She did not lack any mystical abilities or Dharma spells. When she fought, she was also very focused and serious. Her reactions were also very fast.
Many people started to discuss. If the Little Qiong Peak’s Spiked Mace was in its peak state, there would be intense sparks when the Head Disciple Youqin Xuanya encountered it. However, Li Changshou did not encounter Youqin Xuanya during the first twelve preliminary rounds.
Moreover, even if he were to encounter his toxic junior sister, Li Changshou had a plan in mind…
In terms of surrendering, he was a professional.
The kind that was verified by the Dragon Palace.
On the day after the end of the preliminary rounds, Li Changshou began to suspect something as he was lost in his thoughts.
After more than ten years, he had a sudden impulse without warning. He thought about it and felt that it seemed to be closely related to him.
What was wrong?
…
Whenever he had a sudden hunch, something would definitely happen. However, it may not always be a blessing or always a misfortune.
Li Changshou first looked at the jade platform. He thought that a Golden Immortal had seen through his disguise, but he quickly concluded that that was not the case. He pinched his fingers and deduced in his heart. There was no war in the various parts of the Sea God Sect. There was no bloodshed…
Eh? Something’s not right.
Li Changshou quickly realized that something was amiss. One of the statues was in a strange state.
He did not dare to go over to take a look with his spiritual will and carefully investigate.
At the same time, a paper effigy that was hiding underground had woken up and quietly approached the temple.
Li Changshou and Ao Yi were both frowning.
However, Ao Yi’s cultivation level was only at the Essence Immortal realm. He was still a distance away from the Perfected Immortal realm. Moreover, he was only the Second Sect Master and the Azure Dragon Guardian. He could only feel that something was happening.
Ao Yi scanned Li Changshou’s location with his immortal senses, but he did not find anything unusual with his “Brother Sect Leader”. Hence, he did not pay much attention to that matter…
Naturally, the Dragon Palace would take care of the matters of the Sea God Sect for Ao Yi.
Ao Yi was now earning merit while cultivating. He wanted to unleash all the power of his bloodline as soon as possible and become a pillar of the dragon race!
On the other side, Li Changshou’s paper effigy quickly approached the abnormal temple. At that moment, his immortal senses slowly searched and discovered what was going on.
There seemed to be someone extraordinary in his temple…
It was a young man and an old man who were dressed in a white robe and a gray robe respectively. Behind them were eight people clad in green robes with thick auras. They looked like guards.
The cultivation levels of those eight guards were all in the Heaven Immortal realm…
Li Changshou was secretly surprised. Through the sound, he looked at the young man in the white robe and immediately saw rays of golden light circling around him…
That was clearly a situation that could only be achieved by the protection of merit and the protection of heaven and earth!
“Oh?”
The white-robed young man seemed to have sensed something and looked at the Sea God statue with his hands behind his back. However, he merely smiled. “Let’s go. We have alarmed the real owner.”
“Yes.” The gray-robed old man beside him lowered his head and answered. He followed behind the young man who was dressed in a white robe and led eight Heaven Immortal guards towards the gate.
Who is this person?
Li Changshou felt conflicted and suddenly made a bold guess.
The young man, the white robe, the cultivation level that he could not see through, the protection of merit, and the presence of followers…
Could it be!
The paper effigy immediately retracted his immortal senses and used the Wind Speech Incantation to monitor him.
After the young man in the white robe left the temple, he smiled at the elder beside him.
“I’ve seen so many illegitimate gods from the South Continent. Other than the Dao Sects, this is the only place that is not bad.
He teaches the mortals to do good and protects them. He gave the good people merit and punished the evildoers.
However, it’s not right to take the credit of the netherworld’s reincarnation.”
The old man smiled and said, “Have you settled on this place?”
“Let’s see if there are still dragons involved in this place. The dragon race has always been arrogant. They’re an ancient race and I don’t want to talk to them.”
Upon hearing that, Li Changshou had an epiphany
Two options popped up in his mind.
Firstly, he could go out and make friends with them. He could take advantage of that opportunity to get acquainted with the true potential powerhouses of the Primordial World!
Secondly, he could let nature take its course…
However, it was hard to tell from their discussion, whether or not the white-robed young man had the intention of letting the illegitimate god expand his faction.
Choose…
I have to make a choice as soon as possible…
