Chapter 346 - Who Is Strong In The Primordial World?!
Chapter 346 Who Is Strong In The Primordial World?!
“Ha, stand properly!” In the icy pine forest of the small Magi tribe, hundreds of strong men and women in beast hides rushed forward with mostly incomplete weapons, wanting to slay the two evil demons! This despicable method of poisoning made use of the shortcomings of the Magi who liked to eat meat. The Magi had already been fooled too many times. They would definitely not be fooled by such low-level fun!
The Magi will never be foolish!
However, the armored male demon with a beard chuckled and swept his left hand. A blue ripple spread out in the forest. The group of figures that rushed forward were all rooted to the ground… Immobilizing Spell. Hence, the hundreds of Magi maintained a certain movement as they ran forward. They watched helplessly as the two “demons” ate heartily, drank wine, and ate meat. The hundreds of Magi were filled with indignation, and tears of grief and indignation flowed from the corners of their mouths!
They were too much of a bully!
Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming chatted and did not look at the hundreds of Magi beside them.
On the other hand, the dozen or so children of the Magi were shouting and rushing over with huge rocks.
Li Changshou tore off more than ten pieces of roasted meat and wrapped them with his immortal power before stuffing them into the children’s mouths.
The Magi were shocked! However, he could only use his eyes to express his anxiety! On the other hand, the children stopped in their tracks. They originally wanted to spit out the roasted meat to express the aspirations of the children of the Magi, but… It was too fragrant. The little guys blinked at the same time and threw away the rocks they were holding. They grabbed the roasted meat beside their mouths and began to eat.
They finished the roasted meat in a few bites and even gathered around the grill, biting their fingers…
They were generally not as smart as human children. “Go over there,” Li Changshou said warmly. Three paper effigies flew out of his sleeve and transformed into two men and a woman. They quickly got busy in the empty space beside him. They set up a grill and a barbecue.
Not long after, the Magi exclaimed in admiration in the forest.
The hundreds of Magi widened their eyes, not understanding what was going on. Soon, the sounds of heavy footsteps could be heard everywhere. A large number of Magi rushed over from the north, northwest, and northeast directions! However, the “strange” scene in the forest confused the Magi. Although the Magi were generally rather simple-minded, there were a few who were quite smart. Moreover, those who were smart had some authority in the Magi… The few great Magi immediately shouted. The Magi that surged over stopped thousands of feet away and watched the situation from afar.
Li Changshou scanned with his immortal senses and realized that figures were speeding towards the desolate land within a radius of 5,000 kilometers.
Clearly, the Magi were still quite vigilant and reacted quickly. Zhao Gongming, who was drinking, frowned and whispered, “Be careful. There are experts of the Magi race who are rushing over.” Li Changshou looked at the dozen or so children who were eating heartily and smiled. “Brother, undo the Immobilization Spell.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Gongming gently pushed out his left hand. The hundreds of Magi who were frozen by him retreated. Most of them fell backward and were in a sorry state. At that moment, the ground trembled slightly. There were sounds coming from the depths of the ground. The two to three thousand Magi who had gathered in the forest lowered their heads.
An old woman walked out of a stone house thousands of kilometers away with a walking stick. She looked extremely old. She took two steps with her walking stick, and the ground quickly slid under her feet.
In just two steps, the old woman had already appeared in the forest. She casually walked thousands of kilometers…
Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. This is…
Shrinking the ground into inches?
No, that’s not the Cosmic Escape technique.
The Magi did not know any Dharma spells, but they had mystical abilities. The twelve Magi had once controlled the twelve Dao laws in the world. It was similar to the power of the Heavenly Courts.
The old Magi used the battle tactics of the Magi. It was similar to the power to control the earth.
This mystical ability could be called… an expert technique.
Li Changshou did not dare to be careless. He put down the wine cup and roasted meat in his hand, stood up, and cupped his hands to the old woman.
“I’m a disciple of Ren School and the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. I was entrusted by my good friend to visit you today. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me, Magi.” The old woman nodded slowly. She first whispered a few words in the Magi language. Most of the Magi in the forest turned around and left, leaving behind more than ten tribal leaders and the current Grand Magi who walked towards Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming.
It was a pincer attack. Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured the whistling sounds in the distance. Most of the Magi who had rushed there stopped running and either waited on the spot or turned around to return to their respective tribes.
The dozen or so Little Magi who were eating barbecued meat at the side were also carried away by their parents. Before they left, they even took away the batch of barbecued meat that was seventy-percent-cooked…
They were both naive and meticulous.
The old woman slowly walked forward. Her body was bent forward, and her eyes were lowered, as if she was nearing the end of her life. However, she was emitting a shocking energy fluctuation. She was like a human-shaped ferocious beast that could tear the ground apart at any moment! The dozen or so male and female Magi who stayed behind were also very powerful. Each of them was filled with vitality.
Li Changshou roughly estimated that they could fight three to five Daoist Ji Wuyous. “Ren School, Heavenly Courts… Heavenly Courts,” the old woman said slowly in the language that was commonly used in the Primordial World. She leaned on her walking stick and slowly bowed to Li Changshou. “There’s no news available in the North Continent. Has the human Heavenly Courts been prosperous? Are you the God who is in charge of controlling the power of water?”
“Grand Magus, you are wrong. The Heavenly Courts are not like the human Heavenly Courts, nor are they like the ancient Demon Courts. Which race lives to rule over all living beings?” Li Changshou said loudly, “Now, the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Courts is the Jade Emperor. He was appointed by the Dao Ancestor to be in charge of the Heavenly Courts, maintain the stability of the Three Realms, and protect the people of the world.”
Zhao Gongming stood up and cupped his hands at the Grand Magus. He smiled and said, “I’m Zhao Gongming, an outer sect disciple of Jie School. My master is the Grandmaster of Heaven.”
Calling the Saint by his Dao name when he introduced himself was the best way to prove himself as a disciple of the Saint. The old woman immediately looked up at Zhao Gongming and bowed to him. Her voice became much lighter. “So you’re a disciple of the Saint. We have failed to be good hosts, distinguished guests. I’m the Grand Magus of this branch of the Magi. You can just call me the Magus.” As she spoke, the old woman’s hunched figure slowly stood upright. The dry skin around her began to swell.
Wisps of blood aura wrapped around her body. She turned from an old woman who was on the verge of death into a middle-aged woman with a well-proportioned body! The difference in treatment… Li Changshou sighed in his heart. He could only say that the Heavenly Courts still had a long way to go…
Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Grand Magus, look at the Daoist beside me. He is the most trusted Heavenly God of the Jade Emperor of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Recently, he contributed to gaining the loyalty of the Four Seas’ dragon race to the Heavenly Courts. He is also a disciple that the Grand Supreme Elder of the Tushita Palace thinks highly of. He addresses the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du as his senior brother and is also the brother whom I have close ties with! Today, he came here…”
“By the way, Brother, why are you here to look for the Magi?” Li Changshou continued, “I was asked by my two good friends, Ox-head and Horse-face, the Soul-Reaping Envoys of the Netherworld to see how the Magi are living in the North Continent. If there are any difficulties, please mention it, Grand Magus. If you have any difficulties, please tell me clearly. I will definitely think carefully and do my best to help.”
Zhao Gongming blinked and said to Li Changshou, “This doesn’t seem like your personality. Changgeng, why are you here to give benefits to the Magi? Could it be that you have taken a liking to the Magi?”
Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He quietly waited for the Grand Magus to reply.
The Grand Magus that had transformed into a middle-aged woman did not have a beautiful face but she exuded a heroic and reliable aura.
She frowned slightly and asked, “Ox-head, Horse-face?”
“This is a portrait of them.” Li Changshou was already prepared for this. He took out a portrait from his sleeve and slowly spread it open. The figures of Ox-head and Horse-face were drawn on it.
It was a limited edition headless version!
The frown on the Grand Magus’ forehead relaxed slightly. Then, she slowly sighed and said, “So that’s the case… Thank you for making this trip, Water God. The Magi are still doing well. We don’t have anything we want or need.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “May I have the honor of having a chat with you, Grand Magus? Could it be that you think that the Heavenly Courts want to use the Magi of the North Continent to threaten the Netherworld officials? There’s no need to worry.” The Grand Magus’ eyes flickered slightly. He smiled bitterly at Li Changshou. “I’m not clear about this matter. We don’t want to implicate the descendants of our ancestors…”
“Grand Magus, you are wrong again.” Li Changshou sighed softly and said warmly, “I’ll be straightforward. The Heavenly Courts need the Netherworld to join in to stabilize the balance of the Three Realms. The Netherworld requires the help of the Heavenly Courts and the protection of the Heavenly Courts to maintain the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Now, the Netherworld wants to submit to the Heavenly Courts, but they do not know where to start. The Heavenly Courts want to express goodwill to the Netherworld, so they can only come here to look for everyone and help with the difficult situations that the Magi might be in.”
“Grand Magus, listen to me first. If I say anything wrong, you can chase me away. If what I say is right, please talk to me openly today.” The Grand Magus asked, “What do you want to say, Water God?”
Li Changshou looked at the Grand Magus. Her gaze was clear, serious, and her voice was powerful. His words hit the nail on the head! “Are the Magi now… infertile?”
Pfft!
Zhao Gongming, who was watching the show with a smile, turned around and spat out a mouthful of wine. What’s going on? It’s not appropriate to say that, right? If the Magi went crazy and chased them out, they would be embarrassed! Unexpectedly, the Grand Magus frowned and looked conflicted. However, she raised her head and sighed. Her gaze was filled with sorrow and desolation. “You’re right.” Zhao Gongming’s beard trembled. He looked at Li Changshou, who was calm and confident. He did not know how to criticize him… Alright. After all, he was a man whom his Second Sister found very impressive. His thoughts were indeed very strange. Li Changshou made an inviting gesture. The Grand Magus slowly walked forward and sat on the stone that Li Changshou had brought over. Li Changshou invited the dozen-odd leaders of the dozen-odd Magi tribes to take a seat at the side and made the paper effigies get busy again. Soon, the forest was filled with the fragrance of meat…
However, it was very quiet this time. There was only the soft voice of Li Changshou and the Grand Magus, as well as the sizzling sound of the roasted meat. Zhao Gongming listened quietly from the side. Soon, he pushed open the door to a new world…
Li Changshou did not avoid anything and was very serious.
He asked about the number of fertility changes that the Magi had experienced every 100 years in the past 10,000 years. He also asked about the number of married couples in the Magi now, as well as the standards of the Magi’s knowledge of reproduction. To a race, reproduction was indeed an extremely serious and somber problem. However, Zhao Gongming could not help but let his imagination run wild. He felt uneasy…
He felt that if his younger sister were to become Dao companions with Changgeng in the future, she would definitely not be lonely…
Speaking of which, Changgeng is not old, but he knows a lot.
Soon, Zhao Gongming listened attentively and became more serious.
and so on.
Li Changshou chatted with the Grand Magi of the Magi race for a long time. They were all discussing the “big problem” that he could identify at a glance. Before he left, Li Changshou left behind a preliminary solution. He asked the Grand Magus to find 200 healthy Magi couples and follow his plan. They would then observe if it was effective. After he returned, he would go to the Hall of Marriage and the Netherworld to visit. He would carefully investigate the root of the problem and make subsequent arrangements…
The Great Magus and the dozen or so Magi tribe leaders immediately thanked him profusely. They even gave him some special products of the Magi and insisted that he bring them for the Jade Emperor to try…
This time, it was an authentic local specialty. It was a rare fruit unique to the North Continent.
It was completely different from the local specialties of the Magi in the Netherworld! On the way back, Zhao Gongming hesitated a few times. After stammering for a while, he asked, “Changgeng, did you know about the hidden troubles of the Magi in advance?”
“I don’t know.” Li Changshou shook his head. “Previously, I’ve only heard rumors that the Magi have been declining. However, I didn’t expect it to be so serious. “Big Brother, you have also seen that there were clearly large numbers of abandoned villages at the edge of the pinewood forest that was blocking the miasma. This means that after the Magi effectively blocked the miasma, there was still a clear decrease in population.”
“The tribe we went to had a total of more than ten children. The children were about the same age. There were no new babies. At first, I thought that the Magi had hidden the newborns. However, when those children came over to eat, I quickly discovered a small problem with them…”
“What small problem?”
“The bloodline of the Magi is not pure. They are almost Magihumans.” Zhao Gongming immediately understood and said in a low voice, “Could it be that the pure-blooded Magi can no longer exist in this world?”
“Maybe. That’s why I decided to make a stable move today and I did not confirm anything.” Li Changshou said, “The initial plan I gave them was only to increase the chances of conceiving. After all, I don’t know if anyone is plotting behind this. I have to investigate clearly. Among the Magi, 99% of them are not strong enough to live forever. If this problem is not resolved, there will probably be no Magi on the ground after a Yuanhui.” Zhao Gongming sighed and said, “Back then, the Magi… Forget it. This has nothing to do with Jie School. By the way, Changgeng, there seems to be some erotica in your plan…” Li Changshou turned to look at Zhao Gongming. His eyes were filled with shock. He was so shocked that he could not help but shout, “Brother, you’re actually interested in this?”
Zhao Gongming’s face turned red. “I’m not, I’m not… Don’t! How can you taint my innocence like that!?!”
“Hahahaha!”
Li Changshou laughed out loud. Zhao Gongming knew that he had been fooled and wanted to fight Li Changshou angrily. However, Li Changshou was already quick to react. He took out a treasure pouch from his sleeve.
“I offer the 36 Heavenly Constellation Autumn Water Traceless Painting to you today!”
“Oh?”
Zhao Gongming was shocked. He took the painting and the two of them looked at each other. Zhao Gongming said seriously, “Only the old masters know about this. You and I know.”
Li Changshou immediately nodded. “Don’t let Fairy Yun Xiao see it.”
“Sure!”
“Yes!”
Hence, the two of them hit it off immediately. They put their arms around each other’s shoulders and rode a cloud to the South Continent.
As soon as they arrived at Anshui City, they saw a purple light fly out of the South Ocean and stop in front of them. It turned into a slightly plump Daoist. The person glared at Zhao Gongming and cursed anxiously.
“Ah! Junior Brother Gongming! You! Why are you so interested in your grandnephew!?!” Zhao Gongming was confused. Li Changshou was also confused.
What’s going on?
