Jin Chanzi was naturally not there to congratulate Exalted Wang Qing for successfully transcending the tribulation.

  He should be here to discuss how to split the dragon race.

  Li Changshou could not help but mutter to himself.

  They are both Primordial Beasts. Why is the difference between them so huge?

  For example, Daoist Wen Jing, who had already submitted to him, was already in an awkward situation in the Western Sect. She was on the verge of being abandoned by the Western Sect at any time.

  She did not dare to move openly in the Primordial World. She could only hide in the dark and buzz.

  Jin Chanzi had appeared brazenly in the South Continent without any restraint or scruples.

  He was just short of shouting, “Little Sea God, I’m here to negotiate!”


  Clearly, Jin Chanzi had already turned from hiding in the dark to being in the open. His tracks and name had been cleared by the Western Sect.

  He could be considered a winner of the ferocious beasts.

  Li Changshou’s wisp of spiritual will remained in the statue quietly. He looked at the figure standing in front of the temple and the confident smile on the other party’s face…… Perhaps, the predecessor of the Monk Tang Seng felt that as the “masterminds” behind the chaos of the four seas, they should have a tacit understanding with each other. It was time to have a conversation between the “masterminds”.

  Unfortunately…… Li Changshou was destined to disappoint Jin Chanzi today.

  According to the basic principles of the Western Sect, even if Jin Chanzi were to dance and call the officials in the Sea God Temple, he would not pay any attention to him or reveal any traces of himself.

  In short, there would be no direct communication with the Western Sect!

  Li Changshou chuckled in his heart. Most of his attention returned to the place in the Immortal Du Sect where Exalted Wang Qing was transcending the tribulation. He looked at the ball of lightning that was starting to dissipate…… A piece of “charred charcoal” that did not look human fell from the sky and landed on the magma lake below. It floated quietly.

  However, at that moment, everyone was only happy and not worried.

  That was because that piece of charcoal contained an extraordinary vitality!

  The Golden Immortal Tribulation had passed.

  The Tribulation Cloud in the sky dissipated quietly and turned into rich spiritual energy that surged downwards.

  On the “charred” piece of charcoal that was no longer human-shaped, three mysterious flowers slowly appeared on his forehead, chest, and abdomen. They slowly swam and gathered at the top of the sky, blooming rapidly.

  One hid the origin.

  One contained the Dao Life.

  One was blurry, indicating changes and possibilities.

  The piece of ‘charcoal’ slowly floated up and sat cross-legged in the air. The skin peeled off on the spot, revealing Exalted Wang Qing’s true appearance.

  A ray of green light descended from the sky and wrapped around Exalted Wang Qing’s body. A green cloud floated over, and various phenomena appeared in the sky. A melodious Heavenly Dao bell rang……

  “Master has passed! Master has passed!”


  At that moment, Jiu Wu finally dared to shout.

  The Nine Jiu Immortals cheered excitedly!

  Li Changshou’s paper effigy was even grabbed by its arm and swayed by Jiu Jiu, who was too excited. She almost threw him off the cloud……

  Ahem, there were some collisions.

  Jiang Lin’er wiped her eyes with her slender hand and coughed a few times. She showed her calmness as a master’s wife and stood quietly at the side, looking dignified and composed.

  However, because she was too young, she lacked some dignity and deterrence. From today onwards, the Immortal Du Sect would have another Golden Immortal. The safety of the disciples would rise to another level.

  Just as everyone was celebrating, Li Changshou diverted his attention and secretly observed Elder Wan Linyun’s face……

  Although Elder Wan was sneering, there was a hint of yearning in his eyes. There was also a hint of disappointment in them. Not long after, Exalted Wang Qing changed into a long robe and emitted a faint fragrance. Some petals danced around him and flew towards the Nine Jiu Immortals.

  Sect Leader Ji Wuyou and Elder Qi Ling brought the elders over to congratulate them. Many immortals in the sect flew out to welcome them……

  The disciples of the Immortal Du Sect were greatly encouraged.

  Many Heaven Immortals from the older generation sighed emotionally. The Dao hearts of the few disciples of Exalted Wang Qing trembled and they were excited.

  Just as the sect was rejoicing, Li Changshou quietly returned to the Little Qiong Peak and told his master and junior sister about Exalted Wang Qing successfully transcending the tribulation.

  Due to his relationship with his Grandmaster, Jiang Lin’er, his master and junior sister had to rush over to celebrate. Li Changshou had just returned, so he naturally did not need to make another trip……

  Just as Li Changshou was about to slack off for a few days, the paper effigy, which had been entrusted with Li Changshou’s mind, laid down on the rocking chair, continued to organize the Dao of refining pills that the Elder Lord had taught him. He heard a blurry voice in his heart……

  “Sea God, why don’t you send your incarnation over to meet me?”


  Jin Chanzi seemed to be a little impatient.

  After just two to four hours, he could no longer hold it in and barged into the Sea God Temple…… Li Changshou glanced at the Six-Winged Golden Cicada using the statue. Then, he continued to sort out his alchemy and ignored it.

  At that moment, Jin Chanzi was already in front of the statue.

  He said, “Based on the Sea God’s plan, you should know why I’m here. Why did you avoid

  me?”


  The small Sea God Temple was silent. Only one of the priests was hiding under the table, trembling non-stop. His heart was blank.

  A moment later……

  Jin Chanzi’s smile gradually disappeared. He said coldly, “Could it be that the Sea God really doesn’t take us seriously?”


  Li Changshou secretly raised his eyebrows.

  Jin Chanzi was quite meticulous. He used the power of the Western Sect to pressure them and deliberately said ‘we’ without mentioning the word ‘Western Sect’.

  It was no wonder the higher-ups of the Western Sect valued him.

  However, he still ignored it and quietly watched the Golden Cicada put on a one-man show. He even imagined in his mind, how the fellow would look when he wore a kasaya and a monk’s hat……

  Tsk, he is indeed quite handsome and a little bad. He did not let down the name of a suave man.

  Li Changshou first took out the “Golden Immortal Tribulation Observation Notes” that he had previously made and carefully sorted it out. He further perfected his Tribulation Transcendence plan.

  He took out more than ten blank jade tokens and began to organize the insights he had gained into the Dao of pill-refining according to his own understanding.

  During that process, the blurry voice in Li Changshou’s heart sounded every now and then……

  “Could it be that the Sea God is afraid?”


  “Sea God, if you’re worried, I can swear according to your rules. How about that?”


  “Hmph! Today, I want to see how you can avoid seeing me!”


  In just two hours, Jin Chanzi sat in front of Li Changshou and Ao Yi’s statue. He looked like he would not stop until he achieved his goal.

  Li Changshou could only shake his head slightly and continue with his work……

  When Exalted Wang Qing transcended the tribulation and became a Golden Immortal, his Dao heart was stirred.

  In Li Changshou’s opinion, Exalted Wang Qing was only 60 to 70% confident. He had narrowly escaped death several times, but he had managed to survive.

  He had won the bet with his life. However, what if he had lost?

  At that moment, Jiang Lin’er would probably have become a widow. The Nine Jiu Immortals would have been crying loudly. Wang Fugui’s name would then make it onto the Immortal Du Sect’s Immortal Death List.

  He had done what he had to and could do to the best of his abilities. Then, he went all out to face the Golden Immortal Tribulation. That way, even if he could not endure it, he would not have any regrets. Easy does it.

  The Immortal Du Sect had been very lively for the past half a month.

  The Sect Leader personally ordered the disciples who were not in seclusion to go to the Heaven-Breaking Peak to celebrate. An immortal banquet was set up in front of the Hundred Mortal Hall. Exalted Wang Qing, who had become a Golden Immortal, preached the Dao continuously.

  Li Changshou had also been idling for half a month. He had sorted out twelve Pill Sutras and more than thirty pill formulas. That was just a small portion of the pill-refining Dao that the Elder Lord had taught him.

  At the same time, Li Changshou was also disturbed for half a month.

  Jin Chanzi was sitting in the small temple in the South Ocean. Every hour, he would shout, “Sea God, why don’t you come out and meet me?”


  Li Changshou simply treated that fellow as an alarm to remind himself that time had passed quickly.

  The pill formulas that he had sorted out would all be useful.

  Some of the pill formulas were specially found for Elder Wan Linyun. Once he became a Golden Immortal and obtained some Heaven and Earth spiritual herbs, he could attempt to refine them.

  “Brother Sect Master! Brother Sect Master!” In the Sea God’s Residence of the Heavenly Courts, Ao Yi hurriedly found Li Changshou’s paper effigy and told him about his “shocking discovery”!

  “Brother Sect Master, a young Daoist is sitting in a small temple. Every hour, he would call me to meet him. I wonder who he is.”


  Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

  “Really?”


  Ao Yi widened his eyes and replied seriously, “Really!”


  “Yes, he had been there since half a month ago.” Li Changshou shook his head and said, “This person is from the Western Sect. He revealed his whereabouts during your wedding in the East Ocean.”


  Ao Yi could not help but blink and feel a little awkward.

  Li Changshou muttered to himself and thought about it. He analyzed the pros and cons and quickly made a decision.

  “Ao Yi, why don’t you go and invite a few experts from the dragon race? It would be best if you can get someone whom your father trusts completely to investigate this small temple. If I can avoid being discovered by him, I will try to get some information from him and see if I can find out what the Western Sect will do next. If we scare him and let him leave, it will not be a loss for us.”


  “Yes, I will send a message to Father now!”


  Ao Yi hurriedly agreed and left the main room where Li Changshou was.

  At that moment, in the eyes of the dragon race, Ao Yi, the Second Prince, was too close to the Sea God. It was easy for the dragon race to think that he had deceived Ao Yi…… although he had to admit that there were indeed some elements of deception.

  Therefore, it was not safe to just let Ao Yi “testify” at the side. He had to have a few more “witnesses” to be more convincing.

  An hour later, Ao Yi rushed over to report that everything had been arranged.

  The two old dragons of the East Ocean Dragon Palace took action and used Ao Yi’s statue to reveal the situation in the small temple to the Dragon King of the East Ocean and the other important dragon officials.

  The Golden Cicada did not notice it.

  Li Changshou’s old immortal paper effigy had also rushed to the small temple from Anshui City. In front of the dragon race, it emerged from the backyard of the small temple.

  The eyes of Jin Chanzi, who was sitting in front of the statue, lit up. He sneered and said calmly, “The Sea God is really busy. He made me wait.”


  Li Changshou, who was carrying a horsetail whisk, frowned slightly. “Fellow Daoist, who are you? Why are you disturbing my cultivation?”


  “Oh?” Jin Chanzi stood up. There was a look of realization on his delicate face. “So the Sea God is cultivating. I’ve disturbed you.”


  Li Changshou took a step back and smiled. “If there’s nothing else, please leave.”


  “Sea God, do you know where I came from?”


  He almost blurted out the words “The Great Tang of the Eastern Lands “!

  Li Changshou shook his head slightly and said, “I don’t know.”


  “I’m here on orders to discuss something with the Sea God.” The Golden Cicada smiled and took out a violet gold pearl.

  The pearl flashed and enveloped the two of them in a barrier.

  Li Changshou took two steps back and left the barrier.

  Jin Chanzi frowned and said, “Fellow Daoist, what do you mean? The matter between us is very important. We have to guard against eavesdroppers.”


  “Fellow Daoist, please return.” Li Changshou’s expression was serious. “The Ren School has always been open and honest. It’s not appropriate for us to be so secretive.”


  Jin Chanzi stared at Li Changshou, but Li Changshou’s eyes were full of honesty. He did not look shy at all.

  It was a battle of pride.

  Jin Chanzi still had some pride and arrogance that could not be erased today. He was quickly defeated……

  “Forget it,” Jin Chanzi said calmly. “This is no longer a secret. Everyone knows it clearly. Sea God, let’s be straightforward. I came here to offer my apology. I have offended you previously, but I did not know that the Sea God had such a strong background. The second purpose is to discuss the dragon race.” Li Changshou suddenly said, “Could it be that the rules of the Western Sect are to apologize empty-handed?”


  Jin Chanzi did not expect Li Changshou to suddenly say that and was instantly disturbed.

  Li Changshou’s Tricks taught on the spot -“Digress from the main topic.”


  “Of course not.” Jin Chanzi smiled and said, “As long as we come to an agreement today, we will present a generous gift tomorrow.”


  Li Changshou chuckled. “In that case, according to you, Fellow Daoist, if we can’t come to a conclusion after today’s discussion, will you just forget about the compensation?”


  “That’s not the case. We don’t want to be enemies with you……”


  “Alright, let’s talk about the second matter. How do you want to discuss it with me?” Jin Chanzi did not realize that he had already lost the initiative to talk.

  “Take the initiative and test the waters.”


  Jin Chanzi smiled and said, “The dragon race has the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas. We will take the west and south while you take the east and north. How about that, Fellow Daoist?”


  Li Changshou was happy that Jin Chanzi had said that.

  Then, he would go straight to the third step -“Feign ignorance and change his position. Advance by retreating.” Li Changshou said, “Fellow Daoist, you seem to have made a mistake. Why do I want the Dragon Palace?”


  Jin Chanzi muttered to himself and lowered his voice.

  He said, “I’m not talking about the Sea God. I’m talking about the Heavenly Courts that supports you. The Ren School wants the Heavenly Courts to prosper. We also want the West Continent to prosper. The dragon race is old and unwilling to be lonely. Their foundation is incomparably strong. The two of us can split up and take our own share.” “Enough!”


  Li Changshou suddenly shouted. He looked angry and scolded, “Fellow Daoist, who are you? Why are you talking nonsense here!?!” “I am……”


  onsen

  “A member of the Western Sect?” Li Changshou snorted coldly. “I knew you would say that! Fellow Daoist, your tricks of shifting the blame are too superficial! The Western Sect and the Three Sects of the Dao Sect are all great sects. They have extraordinary existences. Even if the Western Sect schemed against them, they would only exchange blows remotely. They care about the pride of the various Sect Masters! Why would they send someone to tell me about this matter? Why would they want to split? I advise you to be kind and not stir up a conflict between the Dao Sect and the Western Sect!”


  Jin Chanzi quickly reacted and said firmly, “Sea God, why would I lie about this?”


  “The world is dangerous, and the spirit is unpredictable! Who can predict what happens in the world?”


  Li Changshou shook his head. “Fellow Daoist, if you can’t make me believe that you are indeed from the Western Sect and that you can represent the Western Sect, don’t blame me for being rude today. I won’t send you off!”


  Jin Chanzi was completely stunned. He stared at Li Changshou’s face and whispered, “In the Sea God’s opinion, how should I prove it?”


  “It’s very simple. Let the Heavenly Dao verify it. Make a Great Dao oath and prove that you can represent the Western Sect.”


  “It’s just an oath. Sea God, wait.”


  “Heavenly Dao, if I, Jin Chan, am not entrusted by the Deputy Sect Master of the Western Sect to come here to discuss the matter of the dragon race with the Sea God today! If I, Jin Chan, am lying, I will be punished by the Heavenly Dao’s God-Conquering Lightning!”


  When Jin Chanzi finished speaking, he felt that something was amiss…… Thunder rumbled in the sky. The power of the Heavenly Dao came and went in a hurry and accepted the oath.

  Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and praised Jin Chanzi in his heart. “You are indeed a member of the Western Sect.”


  Jin Chanzi smiled and said, “Since you believe me now, we should have a good talk. Fellow Daoist, please tell me your conditions.”


  “I don’t have any conditions.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “There’s no need to talk about this. I’m completely different from you, Fellow Daoist. I interfered with the matters of the dragon race because the Sea God Sect has a portion of incense merit from the dragon race, and I’m the Sect Master of the Sea God Sect. Fellow Daoist, please leave.”


  Jin Chanzi was stunned. His back hurt from the swaying.
