Becoming the chef or the ingredient is a problem.

  Bai Ze maintained his main body and let out a long sigh. He turned his head and looked at the incarnation of the Water God, who was meditating beside the pool with his eyes closed. Then, he looked at the image projected by the pool and fell into a daze.

  The Water God’s life was really fulfilling for the beasts.

  He had to worry about the matters of the Heavenly Courts and think of ways to plot against the Western Sect and the demons. He also had to worry about his little junior sister who was training outside. Occasionally, he had to run an errand for a Saint and go out to fight the otherworldly demons. At the same time, he had to chat with the experts of the three sects and talk about marriage.

  In the past six months, the Water God had been tasked with teaching the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother about the tribulation.

  Every time he mentioned this matter, the Water God would wave his hand and say, “This doesn’t count, this doesn’t count. How can I be considered the Jade Emperor’s teacher?”


  However, Bai Ze felt that the Water God must be quite happy to spend nearly a third of his energy on this matter……

  He was completely unlike Bai Ze, who was a passe auspicious beast and a retired demon general. Now, apart from occasionally helping the Water God review his plans, he could only think about how to pursue extreme delicacies……

  Life was comfortable and boring.

  Bai Ze looked at the situation in the pool again. He subconsciously retracted his gaze and was suddenly stunned.

  Ling’e seemed to have flown a little far when she went out of the town this time……

  “Water God, Water God!”


  “Huh?”


  Li Changshou, who was by the lake, opened his eyes. His eyes flickered and he immediately retreated. Li Changshou was just comprehending the Dao and cultivating since there were no lessons today. Without needing Bai Ze to say anything, Li Changshou immediately looked at the scene in the pool. The long feathers on Bai Ze’s head shone again, and the image in the pool became clearer. The paper effigy army that Li Changshou had arranged to be near Ling’e immediately used an escape technique to follow her!

  At that moment, Ling’e was on the cloud path to the Ten Thousand Years Mountain.

  She had changed into a decent outfit. She was dressed in a long dress, a thin blouse, and embroidered shoes. Her black hair was tied up into a ponytail, and she had a pair of beautiful eyes. Although she had concealed her appearance, she still looked elegant. “Why does she suddenly want to give it a try?”


  Li Changshou muttered to himself. He immediately multitasked and continued to stare at Ling’e’s tracks.

  Bai Ze smiled and said, “Perhaps she has figured it out. Continuing to delay is just a waste of time. Let’s try our luck earlier. Regardless of whether we succeed or fail, we can return to her Senior Brother as soon as possible.” Li Changshou pursed his lips and said calmly, “She’s been playing in the town every day recently. She’s quite happy.”


  “That’s different,” Bai Ze teased. “To Ling’e, it’s incomplete without Senior Brother’s happiness!” Li Changshou glared at a certain chef. Bai Ze immediately buried its head in its hooves and chuckled…… After some thought, Li Changshou’s main body left the Little Qiong Peak. He ignored the sect’s mountain-protecting array formation and used Earth Escape to head towards the Aparagodānīya Continent.

  The Pagoda Master and the Cosmic Ruler, who had not taken the initiative to return it and the Saint had not taken it back, left the mountain with his main body.

  To be honest, keeping the Pagoda Master by his side was really……

  Numinous treasures did not require cultivation. The Pagoda Master’s biggest hobby was to be attacked by divine weapons. His second hobby was to chat with others.

  In the past half a year, the Pagoda Master had been bored chatting with the Cosmic Ruler. He often urged Li Changshou to go to the Three-Immortal Island to see his younger sister, the Golden Chalice, or to go to the Goddess’s Palace to visit Goddess Nuwa and greet his younger sister, the red embroidered ball. After a long time, Li Changshou felt a little dizzy.

  Is this the price to pay for using a defensive supreme-grade numinous treasure?

  Teacher Taiqing’s Dao of Calmness and Inaction is really impressive. To be able to endure the mental contamination of so many numinous treasures…… Uh, it seems that the Grand Pure One will seal the numinous treasures directly and unseal them when he needs to use them.

  Li Changshou sighed in his heart. The Cosmic Ruler shone slightly, and his speed increased. On the other side, Ling’e had already flown near the Ten Thousand Years Mountain on a cloud. She stopped in the sky for a while and pondered for a while before holding the jade token in her hand.

  The words on the jade token were still the instructions for the mission. However, what Ling’e had to do was to hand the jade token to Immortal Zhenyuan.

  After thinking about it, Ling’e reached into her sleeve with her left hand and took it out……

  It was an immortal fruit.

  She could not possibly visit the ancient mighty figure, Immortal Zhenyuan, empty-handed! Ling’e rode a cloud forward and slowly flew 50 kilometers in front of the Ten Thousand Years Mountain.

  The mountain was not strange or tall. It was like a small bulge that had emerged from a plain. To be precise, it was more appropriate to call it the “Ten Thousand Years Hill”.

  A gust of wind blew towards her. Ling’e felt that it was difficult for her to move forward. She was rejected by the universe ‘gently’. She was naturally not surprised. Qi Refinement cultivators who wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Years Mountain to obtain some opportunities would receive the same treatment.

  Looking at the mountain top, he could see a corner of the eaves of the Daoist temple in the lush mountains. There was no immortal light or auspicious signs there. There was also no “high-class embellishment” like the celebratory clouds. Ling’e could see the spiritual beasts playing in the mountains, the immortal cranes pecking at the water pond, and the hundreds of birds circling in the forest.

  He carefully sensed that the Dao in the world seemed to have hidden in this place. There was only a mortal residence in front of him.

  Why do I feel that it’s the same as the Little Qiong Peak…… Ling’e took a deep breath and looked at the dark Sensing Stone. She knew that many immortal senses were locked onto her. She could not help but think that her senior brother should be watching her performance…… Ling’e bowed and shouted in a clear voice, “I’m a disciple of Ren School. I’m here today to pay my respects to Senior Earth Immortal. I’m here to deliver a letter to the expert of Ren School!”


  There was no response.

  Ling’e frowned and shouted again.

  At that moment, a voice sounded from the side. It was a slightly plump Daoist who flew into the sky from below.

  “Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist. There’s a huge array formation here. The sound cannot be transmitted. Moreover, even if the sound is transmitted, how can you see it……”


  “Eh!”


  The slightly plump Daoist trembled and looked at the streams of light that were slowly gathering in front of Ling’e.

  The immortal light condensed into a good door. There was another world inside.

  A wisp of peaceful, thick, and continuous Dao runes floated out, accompanied by an old voice. “A distinguished guest has arrived. Please come in.”


  Ling’e blinked. The jade token in her hand flickered slightly. The words on it slowly disappeared and turned into a short letter.

  Ling’e hurriedly looked at the contents of the letter and realized that it was indeed written by someone who was an expert in teaching. The letter was signed by the Little Daoist Master Xuan Du.

  Li Changshou’s voice entered Lingle’s ears.

  “This is just your first visit. Don’t ask this Great Immortal too many questions. Just say that you have received guidance from an expert of Ren School and are here to ask about the Dao of cultivation of an Earth Immortal.” Senior Brother!

  Ling’e was shocked. She was filled with confidence as she flew into the barrier in front of her.

  The scenery around the Ten Thousand Years Mountain did not change at all. Clearly, there was an extremely brilliant Cosmic Array. It was as if another universe had been created.

  However……

  Li Changshou originally thought that Ling’e would be able to stay in the Five Village Temple for at least two to four hours. However, Ling’e floated out in a moment and flew east on a cloud.

  At that moment, Ling’e deliberately held the jade token with the Dao runes of the Essence-Suppressing Immortal in her hand. Those who were paying attention to her naturally knew that she had only sent a letter on behalf of an expert and had received a reply from the Essence-Suppressing Immortal.

  That had imperceptibly improved his background and prevented him from falling into danger.

  Actually, Ling’e was too stable…… Who would dare to provoke a fairy who could enter the Five Village View?

  In particular, the Great Immortal Zhenyuan had said, “A distinguished guest has arrived.”


  After leaving the range of the Ten Thousand Years Mountain, Ling’e suddenly used Wind Escape and quickly rushed to the town that she had previously stayed in. As soon as she entered from the west gate, she immediately left from the east gate. When she left the town, she had already changed her appearance and turned into an old woman in the Heaven Immortal realm. She headed towards the South Continent, wanting to take a detour back to the East Continent.

  She was very good at counter-reconnaissance.

  Of course, she still needed some time to become good enough to fool Li Changshou…… It was obvious that Ling’e had already formulated a complete path to return home. At that moment, after completing the mission, her eyes shone with green light. She passed through the mortal world, the Great Swamp, crossed the border of the continent, and headed straight for the Immortal Du Sect! In order not to expose her tracks, Ling’e maintained her tracks and changed her makeup every tens of thousands of kilometers.

  She naturally knew that those were the contents of her senior brother’s assessment. Therefore, she tried her best and did not dare to slack off.

  A few days later, in front of the Immortal Du Sect’s mountain gate. Ling’e stabilized her hands that were moving because of her excitement and rode the white cloud to restore her original appearance. She hummed a little tune and headed towards the sect. When she arrived at the sect, Ling’e took out the Sect Leader’s token and two treasure pouches filled with pills and herbs. She smiled and gave them to the seniors who were guarding the door. She said that they were obtained from her training outside. After finally convincing them to accept the gifts, Ling’e rode a cloud and slowly flew towards the peaceful Little Qiong Peak, leaving behind a few old Daoists who complimented her. Li Changshou’s main body had already rushed back to the sect and placed the paper effigies in various directions.

  He was very ashamed. He was just a little bit of a regular guard. She rode a cloud through the mountains and wilderness, her heart filled with hatred. When Ling’e maintained her composure and passed through a few array formations, she saw a familiar figure standing under the willow tree by the lake. She could not hold it in any longer. She cheered and flew towards Li Changshou.

  “Senior Brother, I’m back alive!”


  Li Changshou, who was originally expressionless, was really defeated by that shout. He smiled and nodded. He did not reject Ling’e’s open arms. Just like a swallow returning to its nest, she bumped into her senior brother’s arms. Li Changshou hesitated slightly. The hands behind his back naturally fell. Just as he was about to raise them, Ling’e suddenly snapped out of her daze. Her face turned red and she immediately jumped back. Her joy turned into a shout.

  “Burp!”


  Li Changshou calmly raised his hand to adjust his collar and said, “How did you gain from this experience?” Ling’e’s current performance had already proven the effect of her training. She suppressed her shyness. Although her face was red, there was no emotion. She bowed to Li Changshou and said softly, “Thank you for the training you arranged for me, Senior Brother. I have gained a lot this time.” Li Changshou frowned and said, “You’ve gained a lot? Even when you came back, you didn’t check if it’s really me. Are you going to approach me without being on guard?”


  Ling’e sulked. She subconsciously wanted to pretend to be pitiful, but she immediately thought of something and said confidently, “If you’re not Senior Brother, I will not survive no matter how careful I

  am.”


  “You make some sense.” Li Changshou nodded in approval. “You have indeed grown a lot this time.” Ling’e smiled happily and snorted. “Also, the hug just now was also for Sister Yun Xiao…… Uh.” Oh no, I let it slip! Li Changshou said calmly, “It seems that you two have met a long time ago.” Ling’e rolled her eyes and immediately changed the topic. “Senior Brother, I got this treasure. Look! Look!” Ling’e held a ginseng fruit in her hand. “If Master eats this, it can increase his lifespan by nearly 50,000 years! I obtained it from Immortal Zhenyuan!” Ling’e hurriedly stuffed another jade token into Li Changshou’s hand and said, “I’ll send it to Master first!”


  He ran to Qi Yuan’s straw hut.

  This girl was indeed unwilling to see him and Fairy Yun Xiao progress too quickly…… Li Changshou placed his hands behind his back and sighed softly. He turned around and returned to the Pill Chamber. He looked at the simple greetings in the jade token and shifted his attention to the South Continent.

  Li Changshou had already decided to postpone the matter of Youqin Xuanya ascending to the heavens. If he wanted to promote Xuanya, he would definitely cause a commotion and there would be many risks.

  Now that the big shot, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, was not in the five continents, the safest choice was to reduce such matters. Although the Heavenly Courts’ recruitment plan would be affected a little, it would not be affected much. It would just be a little less publicity……

  It could also increase Xuanya’s strength by a little.

  In the mortal world of the South Continent, the paper effigy, which Li Changshou had been teaching for half a year, opened his eyes.

  Outside the bamboo hut, three young men were practicing practical Dharma spells such as the Falling Stone technique. Three young girls were reciting poems in the bamboo forest in the distance.

  In the corner of the bamboo hut, the “candidate” was writing something on the table.

  Li Changshou stood up and said warmly, “Tianyou, why don’t you practice your Dharma spells?” The young man, Yang Tianyou, hurriedly stood up and answered, “Sir, I’m revising my calculations. I can’t learn these few spells. I’m just dragging everyone down……”


  “You still have to learn it. In the future, you can also have a self-defense ability. Everything depends on the individual. Don’t give up easily.” Li Changshou encouraged him and said, “Youming, bring Tianyou over.”


  “Alright!” Hua Youming jumped over and grinned. Yang Tianyou hurriedly walked forward and called out “Big Brother” a few times. He followed behind Hua Youming like a little follower. Li Changshou could not help but squint and chuckle…… In another year, Hua Youming’s sister would be born. She would be the “ordinary beauty” that the Jade Emperor wanted. Similarly, she should be Yang Jian’s mother. If this Yang Tianyou here was the Yang Tianyou that he knew, this marriage that transcended the mortal world could be explained.

  When he left the seven of them behind that day, Li Changshou did not care about that name. However, a few days later, when he was cultivating, he suddenly recalled who Yang Tianyou was.

  Why is it said that Yang Tianyou is the reincarnation of the Golden Child of the Heavenly Courts? Li Changshou thought about it carefully and secretly checked in the Heavenly Courts. Yang Tianyou was just an ordinary mortal. He did not have any background and his potential was not good. He reckoned that the Jade Emperor probably could not bear to stop his sister and brother-in-law, so he secretly added some details to the identity of Yang Tianyou. That way, he could take into account the prestige of the Heavenly Courts and the Jade Emperor’s face……

  To be honest, Yang Jian’s story was quite tragic. Yang Jian had two siblings. His elder brother and father had died in the hands of the Heavenly Soldiers. His mother had been suppressed under the peach mountain. Yang Jian had brought his sister to be alone and had a hard time acknowledging a master……

  Li Changshou could not remember the details. Moreover, there were various rumors about Erlang Shen.

  There was a saying that when Yang Jian split the mountain to save his mother, he had saved her from the peach mountain. However, his mother had been exposed to the sun and died. Therefore, Yang Jian harbored a grudge against the Heavenly Courts. Although he had been rewarded by the Heavenly Courts, he hated his uncle and wrote that he would not listen to the rules. There was something that Li Changshou had noticed previously and was especially concerned about. Yang Jian had entered the God-Conferment Tribulation after obtaining the Heavenly Courts’ Deity Position. He had followed his master, Perfected Yu Ding, to protect the Zhou Nation!

  Of course, that was the original story.

  At the southwestern border of the North Continent, where the demons were gathered. Compared to decades ago, this place had completely changed. The ground was dry and cracked, and the mountain springs were broken. Every place was lifeless. Many mountains had already turned into dead mountains. There was no other reason. The demons gathered here fought against the heavens and were evil of the Heavenly Dao.

  The programs that the various departments of the Heavenly Courts were doing, apart from the Toilet Temple, no longer worked continuously. After all, after a long time, the demons’ skin would become thicker.

  The upper echelons of the demons really did not expect the Heavenly Courts to be so tolerant…… In the beginning, the Heavenly Courts used all kinds of methods to counterattack. They did not send troops to suppress the demons. After the battle in the North Continent, the Heavenly Courts sent their armies to participate in the battle. The demons’ mentality was destroyed by the Water God who was riding on Bai Ze. Not only did they fail to hurt the Heavenly Courts, but they even beat themselves up until their hearts trembled.

  They needed a huge victory and then negotiate with the Heavenly Courts.

  The logic was very simple and the process could be very clear. However, the Heavenly Courts’ Water God did not give him any chance!

  In an underground hall.

  Lu Ya leaned against the throne. The Demon God’s Seal floated in front of him. He held his forehead with his hand and his expression was extremely gloomy.

  Water God……

  “The War God does not fight. The War Immortal does not fight the Saint.”


  Bai Ze……

  Suddenly, a chuckle sounded from the corner of the hall. Two figures walked out of the shadows. A petite figure stopped in the corner and did not move forward. Two strands of silver hair were revealed under the cloak.

  The other old man lifted his cloak and quickly walked to the throne. He cupped his hands and said, “Your Highness, I have already thought of a way to break the situation.”


  “Senior, please tell me directly.” Lu Ya’s eyes were listless.

  The old Daoist priest smiled and said, “Your Highness, why don’t we start from the other God of Power of the Heavenly Courts? The Water God is indeed difficult to deal with, but he is ultimately just a third-order righteous god. There is also a second-order righteous god in the Heavenly Courts, General Dongmu.”
