Chapter 300 Bring the Jade Emperor For “Fishing”
The Sea God Temple in Anshui City was destroyed by Ox-head and Horse-face…
Ahem, after it was demolished by the Asura Clan, he took the opportunity to expand and reconstruct it.
Now, the relationship between the Sea God and the dragon race was no longer the same as before. In order to express their gratitude to the Sea God, the dragon race mobilized the dragon race’s craftsmen and numerous prawn soldiers and crab generals. With the enhancement of his immortal powers, it only took him half a month to build a new landmark building in Anshui City- the New Sea God Temple.
The size of the temple had increased several times. It was more solemn and magnificent.
The dragon race followed Li Changshou’s arrangements and changed the main hall to the three-hall form.
The front hall was the Sea God Hall. There were Sea God statues, Great Guardian statues, True Dragon Guardians, and so on. After the devotees paid their respects to the Sea God, they would be able to walk around and enter the more solemn Middle Hall. The portrait of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was hanging high in the hall, and the Three Realms’ Heavenly Emperor, whose face could not be seen, was seated in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. After paying respects to the portrait of the Heavenly Emperor, he took a detour and entered the rear hall. The decoration there was simple. There was only a Taiji Painting hanging in the middle.
Li Changshou had also thought of copying the portrait of the Saint in the Immortal Du Sect. However, he was afraid that the mortals would offend the Saints, so he only used the Taiji Painting to represent the Ren School.
After the Taiji Painting was the true core of the Sea God Temple. There was the Saint’s brush and ink hung on the wall, and an inner hall with the power of the Taiji Painting.
At that moment, the white-robed young man, who had alarmed Li Changshou’s spiritual will, was standing alone in a corner, admiring the murals created by the masters of the dragon race.
Many visitors who came to pay their respects would subconsciously ignore his existence and not disturb him with their gazes…
As for the Divine Envoys and devotees in charge of taking care of the temples, they had received Li Changshou’s instructions previously. They would not stop the “immortals” if they encountered them.
The white-robed young man was clearly in a good mood. After he arrived, the smile on his face never faded.
Due to the story system that had been circulating in the Sea God Sect in the past ten years, the character of the “Heavenly Emperor” was heavily promoted. Most of the devotees who came to the Sea God Temple to pay their respects would go to the Middle Hall to pay their respects to the Heavenly Emperor’s statue.
That was not all. The contents of the murals were also completely different. They added some content about the Heavenly Emperor to the content that was initially all about the Sea God.
Of course, the fun and unofficial historical versions of “The Secret Between The Sea God and the Widow of West Street” could not be changed to “The Secrets of The Heavenly Emperor, The Sea God, And The Widow of West Street”.
They were meticulous and they paid attention to the details.
Just as the white-robed young man was getting excited, a voice transmission sounded from the rear hall. It sounded hurried.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
The white-robed young man turned around and saw the familiar thin old immortal.
Li Changshou carried his horsetail whisk and walked over quickly. He ignored the shock of the devotees and the Divine Envoys and bowed to the white-robed young man. The white-robed young man waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to be so polite in front of mortals.”
Li Changshou frowned slightly and quickly asked, “Your Majesty, why did you… come down using your real body?”
“The Heavenly Courts are fine. Come down and take a walk.” The Jade Emperor chuckled. “Let’s talk in a quiet place.”
Li Changshou turned around and invited the Jade Emperor to the rear hall.
At that moment, Li Changshou scanned with his immortal senses and realized that there were a few white clouds in the sky far away. General Dongmu was waiting obediently with a large number of troops.
He should have been ordered by the Jade Emperor to not follow them.
They took a seat in the master’s seats in the rear hall and the Divine Envoys served fragrant tea. Li Changshou personally served the tea and did not dare to be rude.
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “My dear minister, your temple is improving.”
“Previously, there was a demonic invasion. It destroyed this temple. The dragon race helped to repair it.” Li Changshou stood at the side with a smile. He bowed slightly and stood in a relaxed posture. “Oh? What’s the matter?”
“It’s the Asura Clan…”
At that moment, Li Changshou told the Jade Emperor about the matter of the Asura creating a huge wreckage. The Jade Emperor frowned.
He should indeed frown.
Demons, Asuras, Primordial Beasts…
The Western Sect revealed more and more marginal forces. Regardless of the strength of the Saint or the difference in the disciples of the Saint, the overall framework of the Western Sect was already very “huge”.
Those marginal forces were pawns that the Western Sect could easily abandon. They were all destroyed and would not harm the Western Sect.
The Jade Emperor sighed and said, “If the Western Sect obtains the dragon race, I’m afraid the Heavenly Courts will never rise. Fortunately, Changgeng, you are helping us.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Majesty, I did not do anything. It’s just that the Heavenly Courts are in a good position after gaining power. Your Majesty, you should enter the Three Realms.”
“Hahaha, Senior Brother Taiqing should be the one taking care of me.”
The Jade Emperor laughed loudly and winked at Li Changshou. Li Changshou could not help but frown and blink a few times.
The Jade Emperor nodded and blinked… Li Changshou lowered his head and pondered for a while. He felt helpless. The Jade Emperor had come down this time to find trouble with Lu Ya. Furthermore, he was rather confident that as long as he found Lu Ya, he would be able to kill him easily.
This…
The Jade Emperor said, “Dear Changgeng, why don’t you bring me to the four seas to patrol?”
“Your Majesty, how can you take risks so easily?”
The white-robed Jade Emperor chuckled and said, “Why? Do you think that the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court is only hiding in the Heavenly Palace during the Great Magi-Demon War?”
“Well…” Li Changshou muttered to himself. He couldn’t help but mumble a little.
Is the little leopard’s Heavenly Dao poisonous enhancement that powerful?
As soon as he set up Daoist Lu Ya’s memorial tablet to pay respects, the Jade Emperor appeared personally to cause trouble for him.
If this continues, wouldn’t the script of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation have to be changed? “Your Majesty,” Li Changshou said via voice transmission. “Pardon me for being bold to give you some advice. Your Majesty, you want to observe the suffering of living beings and the worries of the Three Realms. This is your pity. As a subordinate of the Heavenly Courts, I should not stop you. However, Your Majesty, you’re related to the authority of the Heavenly Courts, the stability of the Three Realms, and the operation of the Heavenly Dao. Your Majesty, please prioritize your own safety and the overall situation of the Three Realms.” “Sure!”
The white-robed Jade Emperor agreed with a serious expression. His eyes were filled with comfort.
The Jade Emperor continued, “Since that’s the case, there’s no need to delay any further. Shall we move now?”
Li Changshou smiled and asked, “Your Majesty, do you want to be more elegant or more formal?” “Searching for the remaining demons is just one of them. I can also go out and take a look to relieve my boredom,” the Jade Emperor said with a smile. “Why don’t we find a small boat and follow the waves to be at ease?”
Li Changshou bowed and accepted the order. He asked the Jade Emperor to wait for a while and immediately asked the Divine Envoys to set up the array.
After Li Changshou followed the Jade Emperor and strolled around Anshui City for a while, he rode a cloud to the harbor by the sea. There was already a wooden ship that was hundreds of feet long there. There were a few old musicians and a few popular dancers in Anshui City…
At the same time, above the clouds in the sky, General Dongmu used his immortal senses to observe the situation below and sighed. His Majesty trusts the Sea God the most…
I was the one who came first…
Ah, the person beside His Majesty has been replaced…
People will only pay attention to the newcomers. Who would listen to the old?
He heard a voice transmission. “General Dongmu, don’t just stand there. The Jade Emperor is going to have fun in the four seas. Hurry and choose a few Heaven Generals with high cultivation levels, get them to change their clothes and come to protect him. If you don’t fight for credit now, when will you?”
General Dongmu was shocked. Sea God is my brother!
At that moment, General Dongmu pointed out a few Heavenly Generals and changed into long robes and short shirts before landing on the sea.
They waited in front of the wooden ship. When the wooden ship arrived, General Dongmu bowed and apologized. He took the opportunity to board the wooden ship to watch the dance and listen to the song, ahem, to be the Jade Emperor’s personal guard.
Li Changshou’s Sea God divine power was finally useful today.
A ship!
In the main body of the Immortal Du Sect far away, his essence soul was holding onto the Sea God’s Divine Power Treasure. The paper effigy immediately received the support of the Sea God’s divine power.
He set up a wave of seawater and wrapped the wooden ship. It floated slightly above the surface of the sea. When it flew, it was extremely stable. The people on the ship would not notice any waves.
In the cabin, the mortal musicians were playing music with their hearts, and the dancers were dancing. They did not lose their bearing or composure. Everyone had a residence in Anshui City. Who had not seen a few immortals?
Moreover, they had paid more money!
Although the cabin was quite spacious, it was only an item from the mortal world after all. It was not too particular.
There was only a short table in the main cabin. The Jade Emperor sat in the main seat, while Li Changshou and General Dongmu accompanied him. They could only maintain a distance of five feet from the dancers.
Li Changshou also knew that the Jade Emperor did not come down to stroll around. Instead, he was getting a little anxious while waiting for his plan to be implemented. He wanted to personally descend to the mortal world to find Daoist Lu Ya.
Therefore, the ship flew towards the West Ocean.
At the very least, he had to go to the place where he met Daoist Lu Ya and accompany His Majesty…
On the way, the Jade Emperor and his two important ministers talked about the Heavenly Generals who had been rather active recently and arranged for them to be promoted.
As they spoke, the musicians and dancers could only sense that the immortals were smiling and chatting, but they could not hear what they were saying.
Originally, the conversation between the three ministers of the Heavenly Courts was quite normal. However, for some reason, the topic was shifted to the Queen Mother…
“Changgeng.” The Jade Emperor frowned slightly. “The Queen Mother has been planning to hold a banquet at the Jade Pool recently. This time, she wants to invite some immortals from the three sects. This is also a token of appreciation from the Queen Mother. She wants to borrow the power of the Immortal Peach Banquet to make the Heavenly Courts more important to the immortals of the three sects. What do you think of this matter?” “This matter…”
Li Changshou pondered for a while and pondered carefully.
He wanted to say that it was inappropriate.
There were only two benefits for the Heavenly Courts to invite the immortals of the three sects to the Heavenly Courts to enjoy the immortal peaches. They could become liked by the immortals of the three sects and increase the Heavenly Courts’ presence in the world.
However, the risks were high.
At that moment, most of the immortals from the three sects looked down on the Heavenly Courts. They felt that the Heavenly Courts were only established by the Dao Sect and that the three Saints were above the Heavenly Courts.
If the Heavenly Courts were to place too much emphasis on formalities and mention the position of the Heavenly Emperor, it would easily anger the disciples of the three sects.
As long as there was a little mockery, the matter would blow up.
Not to mention, there was a fake big shot like Daoist Randeng who might want to see the conflict between the Heavenly Courts and the Dao Sect.
Li Changshou said, “Your Majesty, I think the time is not ripe yet.”
“Oh?” The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Changgeng, when do you think it’s time to hold the immortal peach banquet?”.
Of course, he had to wait for the peach to ripen, the Tribulation to end, and the monkey to be born…
Ahem, just kidding.
“Seal the dragon race of the four seas and make the Heavenly Courts famous,” Li Changshou said. “I think that the time is ripe.”
The Jade Emperor’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He nodded in approval.
General Dongmu listened obediently and did not have any intention to speak.
Li Changshou immediately told the Jade Emperor about the future development of the dragon race in detail. At that moment, they had already gained some initiative. There was no need to wait for the Western Sect to make a move.
However, he could not be too nervous. He had to be safe and steady.
The music was endless, and everyone was drinking together.
With the support of Li Changshou’s Sea God divine power, the ship quickly flew past the southwest corner of the five continents and entered the West Ocean. The Jade Emperor, who was chatting happily with Li Changshou, suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Changgeng, 18,000 kilometers to the north-west, there seem to be a few dragon princes playing. It’s just nice. I’ll take this opportunity to see how the princes of the dragon race are like.” Li Changshou smiled and nodded, but he was mumbling in his heart. Gathering of the Dragon Princes? Why did Ao Yi not tell me about this?
It is not the time to think about this now.
Li Changshou immediately adjusted the direction of the wooden ship and rushed towards the direction that the Jade Emperor had mentioned.
The Jade Emperor was also interested. “Come, come! I will pretend to be your supporting god later. Don’t expose my identity. Since I have to use the dragon race in the future, I have to find out their background and know what I’m doing.” Li Changshou explained, “Your Majesty, the dragon race has come from ancient times. They carry negative karma on their backs. Most of their clansmen are often in a drunken state, especially the few princes of the dragon race. According to my understanding, Ao Yi is the most promising among the princes of the dragon race.”
“Ao Yi is indeed a good seedling. He can be of great use in the future,” the Jade Emperor said with a nod. Then, he urged Li Changshou to change his seat.
Li Changshou braced himself and sat down. The Jade Emperor immediately hid his aura and restrained the dignity of the Heavenly Emperor. He did not reveal his merit or luck.
The Jade Emperor asked General Dongmu to transform into a middle-aged man before continuing to chat with Li Changshou.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
His Majesty was purely visiting the mortal world to see if he could meet Lu Ya.
He could not help the dragon race in this matter. It all depended on the performance of the dragon princes.
If he happened to encounter an unsightly situation, he would not need to help the dragon race. After all, the matter of the dragon race ascending to the heavens was a win-win collaboration for the Heavenly Courts and the dragon race.
The wooden ship sped forward, covering more than 15,000 kilometers.
From afar, he could see a huge seashell that was thousands of feet in diameter floating on the surface of the sea. The treasure was glowing, and groups of sea maidens danced in the air. Their music drifted for 50 kilometers.
The Immortal Flood Dragon troops were lined up at the edge of the sea, their faces solemn. On the east side of the seashell immortal ship, there were more than ten short tables. There were delicacies placed on them, and beautiful concubines surrounded them. More than ten young and middle-aged people were drinking and enjoying themselves. They were already a little unrestrained.
“Are we really going?”
Li Changshou asked softly.
“Go.” The Jade Emperor squinted and smiled. He sent a voice transmission, “Dear subject, quickly release your aura and see how they react.” This should be considered “dragon fishing”, right?
Li Changshou sighed in his heart and did not do anything else. He released his aura and divine power fluctuations, shocking them from afar.
However, that shock really created a huge fish. “Hahahaha!”
On the short table beside the dragon sons, a handsome young man stood up. His eyes shone brightly, and his aura locked onto Li Changshou. His voice traveled thousands of kilometers.
“The Sea God actually took the initiative to look for me. It really saved me a lot of effort.” This familiar aura…
That slightly arrogant voice…
Li Changshou frowned slightly. He had already recognized that fellow.
It was the primordial ferocious beast, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada.
“Sea God, are you willing to talk to me again?”
