Chapter 445 - The Heavenly Courts Arise Again, and the Water God Palm Kills!
Chapter 445 The Heavenly Courts Arise Again, and the Water God Palm Kills!
Da Yi was a Grand Magus of the ancient Magi. He was famous for shooting down nine days.
After the battle between the Ancestral Magus, the Water God, Gong Gong, and the Fire God, Zhu Rong, knocked down the Buzhou Mountain, the two strongest Grand Magi, Da Yi and Xing Tian, became substitute members of the Twelfth Capital Heavenly Divine Fiend Array and died in the ancient battle.
He did not expect that his essence would be obtained by the demons.
At the mention of Da Yi, he had to mention a female immortal — Da Yi’s wife, Heng’e.
In ancient times, Heng’e was the daughter of the Human Emperor. The marriage between Da Yi and Heng’e was also somewhat like a political marriage.
However, after the ancient times ended, Da Yi had already died in the battle. Heng’e had gone to Guang Han, leaving only the story of Chang’e stealing spiritual herbs in the world.
“There are clearly other stories behind this.”
Li Changshou rubbed his chin and carefully experienced it. Zhao Gongming wanted to say something but hesitated. However, he smiled.
“Actually, it’s not that complicated. The tribulation will be destroyed, and the calamity will befall,” Zhao Gongming said. “Brother, instead of thinking about that, why don’t you think about how to put it back?”
The corners of Li Changshou’s eyebrows twitched slightly, but he did not ask further. He turned to the side at the same time that Zhao Gongming did.
At that moment, Bai Ze was sweating profusely. He carefully set up the pieces of wood and used his immortal power to glue them together. His overall workload was more than half done.
Li Changshou had already figured out the “working principles of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber.
As long as he obtained the approval of the Great Magus’s soul, he would be able to activate this immortal-slaying weapon.
The outcome of Li Changshou’s negotiation with the essence soul of Da Yi was fruitless.
Da Yi seemed to have lost all his soul and will. All that was left was a shell of his soul that was close to being in a deep sleep. “This Da Yi has probably suffered endless torture from the demons,” Zhao Gongming sighed.
Li Changshou sighed and did not say anything. He waited for Bai Ze to finish his work.
Half a day later, Bai Ze wiped the sweat off his forehead and placed a huge gourd in front of Li Changshou.
“Finally, I did not disappoint the Water God.” Zhao Gongming walked to the place where he had just dismantled the huge gourd. Two black spots appeared in his hands. He asked seriously, “Eh? Mr. Bai, why are there two small wooden blocks here?” Bai Ze was shocked. He quickly turned around and looked at it. Then, he ran back and looked at the smooth and flawless gourd seriously. He was anxious.
Li Changshou and Zhao Gongming endured for a while. In the end, they almost laughed out loud. Bai Ze was so angry that he transformed into his main body and chased after Zhao Gongming.
The happy times he had with the male mighty figures were just like the times when Li Changshou played with his best friend in his previous life.
Those days were always fleeting. After obtaining the core secrets of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber, Li Changshou began to think about how to awaken Da Yi’s essence soul.
The first thing he thought of was the Magi of the Netherworld. When he was about to bring the 108 Demon Soldiers to seek help, he would bring the Immortal-Slaying Flying Saber along. Go to the Moon Palace and see the Moon Lord?
This…
Forget it. Although the Jade Emperor was magnanimous and there were no rumors about him and Heng’e, who could guarantee that they would be together in the future?
Smile.
The word ‘steady’ was reflected in that little detail. It was best for him to stay as far away from the Moon Palace as possible.
That place was the Jade Emperor’s backyard. It was possible that a certain “Qin Tianzhu” who had inherited the will of Hua Ritian in the future would become a guest of the Vast Glacial Palace…
His spiritual perception trembled slightly. Someone from the Heavenly Courts’ Water God Residence wanted to see him. Li Changshou shifted his attention and allowed the paper effigy, Gongming, and Bai Ze to return to the Black Pool Peak. Some of his attention was focused on the Water God Residence.
After putting away his ordinary makeup, he picked up his ordinary horsetail whisk and became an ordinary minister of the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou opened the door and looked at Bian Zhuang, Ao Yi, and Princess Long Ji, who were standing outside. Li Changshou said seriously, “Is the Heavenly River Navy in trouble?” Ao Yi cupped his fists and lowered his head. He smiled and shouted, “Congratulations, Brother Sect Master!”
Bian Zhuang also said, “Congratulations, Lord Water God!”
“What for?” Li Changshou asked calmly. Bian Zhuang chuckled and looked around. He moved closer to Li Changshou and muttered, “Lord Water God, you still don’t know yet? At the court meeting just now, because General Dongmu reported that you had descended to the mortal world without permission and interfered with the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother’s tribulation, His Majesty was furious. He is punishing you by giving you half a month of merit and salary.
He’s also making you the head instructor of the Chang’e’s in the Moon Palace for ten years as a punishment. Hehehehehe.”
Li Changshou opened his mouth but was speechless.
Ao Yi, who was at the side, smiled and said, “Brother Sect Master, this is the most severe punishment for the male immortals of the Heavenly Courts.” His Majesty’s move… Why? I can’t see through him. Could it be that he wants me to scout the path?
The Chang’e of the Moon Palace were professional dancers in charge of the large-scale activities of the Heavenly Courts. Their looks and figures were one in a thousand fairies. Every day, they would rehearse the various dances arduously.
It was not easy to be selected as Chang’e. Moreover, Chang’e was an official position and not a fixed title. Chang’e could obtain merit by practicing dancing in the Moon Palace. Bian Zhuang saw Li Changshou’s frown and wondered, “Lord Water God, are you unhappy?” Ao Yi kicked Bian Zhuang and really wanted to scold him.
If he expressed his happiness now, what would happen? “I’ll go and tell His Majesty.” Li Changshou sighed in his heart and was about to rush to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall on a cloud. What is going on?
If this spreads outside and to the Three-Immortal Island… does he really think that Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao are as gentle as water and that Fairy Yun Xiao would not cast a spell on him when he knelt down?
However, it did not matter. As long as he persevered and became a righteous god of the Heavenly Courts, he would not be afraid of the shadows! “Teacher.” Long Ji called softly from the side. There was a hint of dissatisfaction on her pretty face. She said softly, “Mother wants you to go to the Jade Pool now.”
Li Changshou understood what the Queen Mother wanted him to do. His heart twitched.
Alright, a moment ago, he had wanted to stay away from the Moon Palace. A moment later, he was embroiled in the “conflict” between the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor. A moment later, in the Jade Pool Hall.
Through the screen, Li Changshou bowed to the Queen Mother who was lying on the soft couch and said, “Greetings, Goddess!” The Queen Mother’s lazy voice could be heard through the screen. “Leave, everyone.”
“Goddess!”
Li Changshou hurriedly shouted, “Let the fairies… stay.” The Queen Mother chuckled and raised her hand to signal the fairies around her not to retreat.
“Minister Changgeng, His Majesty seems to be angry that you disturbed his tribulation.”
“Ah.” Li Changshou lowered his head and smiled bitterly. “For the stability of the Heavenly Courts and for His Majesty’s reputation, I can only do this.”
She did not even mention that he was the culprit.
The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction and said, “This time, His Majesty has punished you to be the Chief Instructor of the Moon Palace. Do you have any complaints?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Can I go? Can I really go? Think about Second Senior Brother’s miserable state in the future!
I only want to settle the Great God-Conferment Tribulation and leave an incarnation in the Heavenly Courts to be the Heavenly Emperor’s messenger! Forget it, I can’t rush this matter. Li Changshou bowed and sighed. “I naturally don’t dare to disobey the Jade Emperor’s orders.”
“So you want to disobey but don’t dare to?” The Queen Mother chuckled. “Why should the Water God be afraid? Everyone in the Heavenly Courts knows His Majesty’s intentions. Just go. However…” It’s coming, it’s coming! “Please tell me, Her Majesty.”
“I heard from the young female immortal that the Chang’e of the Moon Palace have not been cultivating for a long time and have fun all day. After Minister Changgeng goes, I will definitely let them train. I don’t want to tarnish the reputation of the female immortals of the Heavenly Courts.”
Li Changshou’s heart twitched. Did the Queen Mother want him to train 300 women who were not inferior to men? In the future, the Jade Emperor would secretly go to the Moon Palace and see female immortals wielding swords, spears, armor, and helmets…
“I… understand.”
Li Changshou lowered his head and replied. He felt a headache.
After returning to the Water God Residence, Li Changshou paced back and forth in the study room, thinking about how he should deal with it.
Reputation was nothing to him. However, he had to consider the feelings of the Immortal Du Sect. At that moment, it was the crucial moment to unite and intercept the two sects.
He could not afford to make any mistakes. However, the Jade Emperor did not consider that. He directly arranged that “lucrative job” for him.
Yes, he might even want me to help him explore the path to the vast Glacial Palace. There was no choice. At that moment, he could only… stall for time!
He still had a mission on hand, which was to fetch Hua Yun to the Heavenly Courts and stall for three months.
As for the rest…
Previously, His Majesty had sent troops to suppress the demons. However, due to the lack of experts, he had no choice but to return. The dignity of the Heavenly Courts had been severely damaged. At that moment, he was holding the Demon God Seal and could give the demons a fatal blow!
The Jade Emperor was confident. He might as well persuade the Heavenly Courts to send troops again and defeat the Demon God’s Seal in front of the demons.
Then, he would use the Spirit Explosion Array to wipe out most of the demons and let the Heavenly Courts suppress the border of the North Continent! Why not ask the experts of the Chan School and Jie School to attack this time? Let’s not talk about the pride of the disciples and Saints of Chan School and Jie School.
Previously, he did not go. Now that the Great Tribulation has arrived, he is afraid. Wouldn’t that be a joke? If he thought about it from another perspective, the Jade Emperor had sent someone to invite him to be rejected. If he invited the disciple of the Saint, it would be too embarrassing for the Jade Emperor.
After eliminating the demons at the border of the North Continent, he could take the opportunity to ask for credit. It would be in line with the punishment this time!
Thinking about it carefully, it was really a brilliant plan. It could be considered killing many birds with one stone.
The sooner he regained the power that the Heavenly Courts had lost, the better.
The cause of the demons’ defeat: Head Instructor of the 300 Chang’e.
Li Changshou calculated for a while and immediately turned around to return to his desk. He picked up his brush and wrote a memorial. Then, he secretly arranged for the paper effigy to send the Demon God Seal to the Heavenly Courts’ Water God Residence. On the other side, the paper effigy that Li Changshou had left behind in the city had already secretly protected Hua Yun.
There was something that he did not know if the Jade Emperor was aware of. Even if Hua Yun was full of admiration for Yang Tianyou… This matter was quite troublesome. He could only make it short.
It was probably because when Chengzhou City was in danger and Hua Youming was 19 years old, he wanted to go out to kill enemies. Therefore, he entrusted his mother and sister to a good friend whom he could trust, his schoolmate, Yang Tianyou. The general had survived hundreds of battles, and there was a red dress on the city wall.
Xia Ningshuang carried Hua Youming back to the Xia Residence. He had been recuperating for a long time. Later on, that night happened, and it took half a year.
After that, Hua Youming married into the Xia Residence. His mother and younger sister also bought another house beside the Xia Residence. The family was harmonious and often interacted with the Yang family. Yang Tianyou’s family was a wealthy businessman in the city. Otherwise, they would not have been able to enter the academy that day.
Yang Tianyou was quite talented in business. At a young age, his name had spread far and wide, and he had built a family at a suitable age. When Hua Youming and Xia Ningshuang returned to the world, Yang Tianyou was already thirty years old. He had a son, but his wife had unfortunately passed away and did not continue.
At that moment, Hua Yun was already a young girl of sixteen or seventeen years old. As a result, she had been wandering around and was more mature than other young girls her age. She had already developed feelings for Yang Tianyou, who she had taken care of in all ways. When the Jade Emperor visited Hua Yun in his dream, Hua Yun said that he wanted to stay in the world for a hundred days because he wanted to express his feelings to Yang Tianyou.
According to Li Changshou’s observation, if Yang Tianyou agreed to Hua Yun, Hua Yun would give up on being a princess in the Heavenly Courts. If Yang Tianyou did not agree, Hua Yun could only leave dejectedly. Li Changshou was also curious. He did not know what choice Yang Tianyou would make…
At that moment, Li Changshou summoned Ao Yi and Bian Zhuang and ordered them to train the Heavenly Courts’ water soldiers well. There might be a huge battle in a few days. He had to do what His Majesty had instructed him to do and return three months later. He also hinted to the two of them to spread the news in the Heavenly Courts.
Hence, three months later… At that moment, Li Changshou had already made arrangements for the North Continent. He discussed with the Magi and some of the elites to invite hundreds of experts. He also prepared the memorial and the seal of the Demon God.
He also prepared three perfect backup plans. This time, they wanted to unleash the power of the Heavenly Courts and destroy the destiny of the demons. They wanted to make it impossible for the demons to gather hundreds of demon kings in the future.
While he was cultivating and comprehending the Dao, Li Changshou even went to the Golden Ao Island of Jie School to visit. He also went to Perfected Taiyi’s Cave Abode to talk about the recent changes in the spiritual pearl and planned the social activities of the two sects.
He had bumped into Randeng on the way, who ruined his good mood. However, Li Changshou changed his attitude towards Randeng and greeted him sincerely with a smile.
That puzzled Randeng. He pondered for a long time about why the Heavenly Courts’ Water God’s attitude towards him had changed drastically. Could it be that he had some plans? On the day that the Jade Emperor Hua Youming and Hua Yun agreed to meet, Li Changshou had already released two wisps of immortal light in front of Hua Yun’s room.
He was reminding Hua Yun that if she did not confess, she would not have a chance. Hua Yun was indeed a little anxious. After hesitating for a hundred days, she finally overcame the shyness in her heart. After dressing up carefully for a long time, she changed into a gorgeous long dress and rode the ox carriage from the residence to the Yang Residence.
When she got out of the carriage, she was already a woman who had just grown up in the neighboring house. She had stunned countless mortals. She lowered her head and entered the Yang residence.
The servants of the Yang residence did not dare to stop her. She successfully found Yang Tianyou in the study room. Hua Yun bit her lips and looked at her puzzled sweetheart. “What’s wrong?” Yang Tianyou was no longer a greenhorn. He was quite familiar with Hua Yun. When he saw Hua Yun’s troubled expression, he asked with concern, “Didn’t you say that you were going on a long journey to look for Brother Ming today?”
“Brother… Brother Yang…” Hua Yun accidentally bit the tip of her tongue. The words were at the tip of her tongue, but she still could not say them. Li Changshou, who was secretly watching the show, almost laughed out loud. The shyness of such a young girl was really a rare and beautiful thing in the world. “Just say it.” Yang Tianyou smiled and said, “Do you need to be entangled?”
“No.” Hua Yun could not help but raise his hand and rub his eyebrows. He asked softly, “Brother Yang, do you have any intention of… continuing the strings?” Yang Tianyou was stunned. Then, he understood something and smiled. “My dead wife still appears in my dreams. I don’t want to think too much about it.” Hua Yun pursed her lips and said softly, “I understand. Then… if we are fated, we will meet again in the future.”
Then, she turned around and left.
At that moment, Li Changshou appeared in the sky in the form of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God. He waved the horsetail whisk in his hand gently, and a white cloud condensed and emitted immortal light landed in front of Hua Yun. “Fairy.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “It’s time to go back.” That action was really a little “deliberately showing off”.
However, Li Changshou had to ensure that Erlang could successfully descend to the world. He had no choice but to use a little trick on the two mortals. Hua Yun stepped onto the cloud ladder and floated into the sky. She turned around and saw Yang Tianyou in front of the study with a face full of shock.
The mortals in Chengzhou City were also stunned. They still lacked the composure of the mortals in Anshui City. That scene had left behind many legends in the city.
However, Li Changshou knew that it was just the beginning of the story between Hua Yun and Yang Tianyou.
Li Changshou sent Hua Yun to the Jade Pool and got the Queen Mother to take care of her and arrange for her to cultivate and become an immortal.
After doing that, General Dongmu went to the Water God Residence and urged Li Changshou to work at the Moon Palace. Li Changshou flipped his hand and produced a memorial and a huge seal. He pulled General Dongmu back to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and presented it to the Jade Emperor. After a while, the Heavenly Courts trembled.
The officials and generals were seated in the Lingxiao Hall. The Jade Emperor was dressed in golden armor. The Water God and General Dongmu stood on the jade steps and stood on both sides.
They had just experienced such a situation not long ago.
The Jade Emperor had personally led the troops to suppress the demons of the North Continent. However, because the disciples of the Saints had deliberately made things difficult for them, the Jade Emperor had thought that the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals would be injured and retreated.
However, it was different today. It was because the Water God who could always give them new life in the Heavenly Courts had returned completely.
The Jade Emperor summoned the Heavenly Emperor Divine Power Sword and pushed it in front of Li Changshou.
“In today’s battle, Changgeng will be the main leader. From today onwards, the Water God will be ranked as a third-rank legitimate god. He will enjoy the merit of a second-rank legitimate god and will be in charge of killing in the Heavenly Courts!” Li Changshou held the divine sword with both hands and raised it above his head. “Yes, Your Majesty!”
The immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts below shouted in unison.
Golden light shone everywhere in the Heavenly Courts, and the power of the Heavenly Dao became denser. In a dark corner of the Little Qiong Peak, a wooden box suddenly burst open. A pagoda and a long bronze ruler rotated. Bai Ze, who was on the Black Pool Peak, stopped drinking with Zhao Gongming and transformed into his main body. He looked at the sky…
