Putting the flag in the flag was actually a jinx.

  “When you express your confidence in completing something, as long as you say it out loud, there will definitely be a reversal, twists, and slaps to the face. That will make people laugh.” However, it was actually a subjective feeling. When a certain matter was slapped in the face, the impression would be especially deep. The other matters that did not have a reversal would have a shallow impression. The logic was similar to a “survivor deviation”.

  Li Changshou was not superstitious, so……

  He was going to condense the Golden Body of Merit this time!

  He, the Water God, had said that even if the Dao Ancestor came personally and Pangu revived! Then…… he had to give some face and condense it another day.

  Logically speaking, from the moment he was forced to take over the Sea God Sect, he had done a little good by taking into account the dragon race, the Heavenly Courts, and the Demon-Exterminating Luck.

  Of course, during the process of accumulating merit, he was open and honest. He did not steal or snatch it. It was just his heart.

  It was inevitable to play tactics.

  Finally! I’ve finally reached this step today!

  Li Changshou had calculated that as long as he could facilitate the reform of the Netherworld and integrate the Netherworld into the system of the Heavenly Courts, he would definitely be rich when he condensed the Golden Body of Merit. He could reduce some of the impure incense merit.

  Li Changshou naturally calmed down……

  A few hands.

  On the basis that he helped the Netherworld integrate into the system of the Heavenly Courts, he also gave the suggestions of reforms and perfected the operation of the Netherworld.

  With more merit, he could be prepared. At most, he could make the Golden Body of Merit bigger! With Ling Zhuzi who was filled with anticipation, Li Changshou rode a cloud and floated to the east of Fengdu City. Before he landed on the cloud, the two burly men who were roasting the spiritual beast meat on the mountain peak slowly discovered Li Changshou’s figure……

  He had white hair, white eyebrows, was kind-looking, and had the unique smell of the Connate Spirit Tree’s berries. Who else could it be but the Heavenly Courts’ Water God?

  “Horse! Quick! The Water God is here!”


  A burly man called out. The two of them hurriedly put on their headgear and found their true selves. They jumped down from the cliff and called a group of Magi forward.

  A few moments later……

  Ox-head shouted, “Greetings, Water God!”


  The Battle Magi behind him shouted in unison, “Greetings, Water God!”


  Li Changshou smiled and was about to speak……

  Horse-face shouted again, “Bless the Water God!”


  The Battle Magi roared in unison again, “Bless the Water God!”


  Ox-head connected seamlessly and roared again, “Water God has no……!”


  A horsetail whisk was smacked on Ox-head nose, forcefully suppressing him from saying the word ‘enemy’.

  Li Changshou’s figure appeared in front of Ox-head. He looked down. Due to the lack of light in the Netherworld, half of Li Changshou’s face was dark. The smile on his lips was cold.

  “Don’t spout nonsense.”


  Ox-head gulped and hurriedly said, “Yes, yes. I understand.”


  Li Changshou floated back to the white cloud. His smile did not change at all, but it felt warm.

  “Marshalls, let me introduce you. This is my Disciple-Nephew.” Li Changshou led Ling Zhuzi over. “This is the disciple of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School, Perfected Tai Yi.”


  Ox-head and Horse-face looked at each other. They did not know what the Water God meant. They immediately bowed and nodded.

  Ling Zhuzi sized up Ox-head and Horse-face curiously. It walked forward…… and bowed.

  “Greetings, Marshalls. I’m Ling Zhuzi.”


  Ox-head smiled and said, “This lady is so delicate and pretty. Moo.”


  Ling Zhuzi felt awkward.

  Horse-face’s shoulder bumped into Ox-head, and he hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. “Fairy, don’t blame him. My brother spoke……”


  Li Changshou smiled and said, “Ling Zhuzi is a man.”


  “Huh?”


  Ox-head and Horse-face were stunned. The honest side of the Magi was revealed. At the same time, they looked below Ling Zhuzi’s waist.

  Lingzhu’s face was turning red. She did not know where to place her hands and feet.

  “Ahem.” Li Changshou cleared his throat. “This time, I brought Ling Zhuzi over because of this matter. Ling Zhuzi’s personality is pure. I want him to communicate with you and increase his masculinity. Both of you are good children of the Magi. You are the most manly living beings in the world. He will definitely be able to learn a lot from you.”


  Horse-face hurriedly said, “Water God, you’re flattering us……”


  Before Horse-face could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a mellow male voice that sounded like an ancient horn.

  “It’s just a small matter. Water God, don’t worry. Moo ~”


  Ox-head’s shoulders were flat, and his chest muscles bulged. His headgear seemed to have been washed with water, emitting a different kind of glow.

  “Leave it to us.”


  Li Changshou smiled and said, “Alright, you guys can communicate first. I’ll go to Fengdu City to look for a few Yama Lords. After I’m done with the important matters in my hands, I still have to build an Earth Wood in the Netherworld.”


  Ox-head and Horse-Face did not know what “Xingtu” was. They immediately agreed and stayed with Ling Zhuzi. They asked their subordinates to quickly report to the city that the Water God had come to inspect.

  Hence, Fengdu City quickly became lively.

  A few Yama Lords went out to welcome him. They entered Yan Luo Dian with Li Changshou and discussed the matter of the Heaven Alliance’s initiation.

  Then, he looked at Ling Zhuzi……

  A group of burly Magi from the Magi race surrounded Ling Zhuzi and sized it up curiously.

  Ox-head chuckled and began thinking about what Lord Water God had instructed him to do.

  Horse-face glared at Ox-head and invited Ling Zhuzi to the side. Then, he discussed carefully with Ox-head and the Battle Magi……

  1981……

  Ling Zhuzi was also looking around curiously.

  Are these the good friends that Uncle-Master Changgeng wanted to introduce to me?

  He felt that he was indeed much stronger than the Heavenly Generals. Ling Zhuzi released his immortal senses and heard a group of silly Magi who were not used to it and might not know how to send voice transmissions.

  “It’s not easy for Lord Water God to arrange something for us. We must do it quickly. Moo. His manly spirit must be related to his Achilles tendon, right?”


  “Shallow! Why are you so shallow! Could it be that half of the women in the clan are men? The Water God is a human. His manly spirit should be of quality. He is responsible. Neigh.”


  Ox-head glared at him. “Are you saying that you want to be stubborn with me?”


  “I insist.” Horse-face flicked his silky hair. “Neigh.”


  Sizzle

  Ox-head and Horse-face looked at each other, and electric arcs appeared in the air. A burly Magi at the side shouted softly, “Sirs, why don’t you have a fight? We’ll listen to whoever wins.”


  “Huh?!

  Ox-head and Horse-face turned their heads at the same time and revealed gentle smiles.

  The burly man subconsciously wanted to retreat, but Ox-head and Horse-face grabbed his shoulder and dragged him to a corner of the stone crack……

  In the corner of the Netherworld, the cries of the vengeful spirits and the screams of the Magi were perfect.

  Seeing that, Ling Zhuzi’s throat that was not considered obvious swayed. He sat down obediently and was worried about his future……

  At this moment!

  A voice transmission entered Ox-head and Horse-face’s ears. The two Soul-Reaping Marshals who were stretching their limbs looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.

  It was fine as long as the Water God had made arrangements. They thought that they had to use their brains and think of a solution……

  Three days later, in front of a Yama Hall.

  The ten Yama Lords had finally settled the matters of the various halls temporarily. They had also obtained the Lady of Earth’s permission to gather with Li Changshou. They rode on the clouds and laughed happily as they slowly flew out of Fengdu City.

  It was none other than……

  The Water God in the Yama Hall smiled. The ten Yama Lords bowed to Ling Xiao.

  They had just flown to the east of Fengdu City and arrived in front of the One-Line Sky Pass. The ten Yama Lords were speechless……

  On the other side of the sky, smoke and dust were flying, and shouts were heard.

  Dozens of Magi who had come to be Netherworld servants had split into two groups. They were taking off their clothes and fighting in a group. Their punches landed on flesh and feet, causing most of the Magi to be bruised and swollen.

  At the periphery of the battleground, there were dozens of beautiful female vengeful spirits dressed in cool clothes.

  They either raised the wooden sign that said ‘Brother Ling Zhuzi is the strongest’, ‘Brother Ling Zhuzi is the most handsome’, or shouted in unison and screamed……

  There were many Qi Refinement cultivators who were going to the Netherworld to do something. At that moment, they did not dare to go forward and ask for permission to pass.

  King Chujiang, who had a fiery temper, immediately cursed, “What are you doing?! Why are you holding back when you’re fighting?!”


  King Qinguang hurriedly said, “Water God, don’t misunderstand. This is a tradition of our ancient times. It is proof of the friendship between the male Magi. This is definitely not a fight between the messengers of death.”


  Another Yama Lord could not help but be puzzled. “There seems to be a strange living being mixed in.”


  The ten Yama Lords looked at Li Changshou and nodded with a smile.

  He saw that among the group of Magi who were fighting in a chaotic battle, their long robes were torn apart or they had taken off their spiritual pearls. They were holding onto a pair of small iron fists, and their bodies were wrapped in immortal light. They were exchanging fists and knees with two burly Magi.

  Ling Zhuzi’s delicate face was either swollen or bruised. A small piece of its front teeth was missing, and its eyes were filled with anger.

  He was originally not good at physical techniques, but at that moment, he could already deal with the old man who did not have any technique to deal with ordinary Magi and deliberately slowed down……

  Ox-head and Horse-face were sitting in a corner, drinking tea and guarding Ling Zhuzi. They did not want their subordinates to really beat the Water God’s disciple-nephew to death.

  Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Yama Lords, don’t be anxious. Yan Jun, don’t be anxious. I’m the one who entrusted the two Soul-Reaping Marshals with this matter. This living being is my Disciple-Nephew, Ling Zhuzi. He is too delicate and is troubled by it. I specially brought him here to admire the demeanor of the male Magi and let him learn more.”


  When the Yama Lords heard that, their eyes lit up.

  “I see. The Water God has really found the right place! The men of the Magi race worship the Ancestor God Pangu. All of them are indomitable men!”


  “Back then, the Grand Magus Kuafu chased after the sun. He would rather die of exhaustion than stop. This is the persistence of a man.”


  “In ancient times, our Magi had an ancestor who was also known as the Water God. That was Gonggong. He had a new companion in a few decades. He was similar to you, the Water God. They were both true men……”


  The Yama King who spoke shrank his neck. The other nine Yama Kings widened their eyes and almost rushed forward to stop the fellow.

  His thoughts were problematic!

  The surrounding air was filled with awkwardness. Li Changshou was about to change the topic when Ling Zhuzi suddenly erupted and attracted their attention……

  Ling Zhuzi roared and hit the burly man in front of him with a headbutt. The burly man’s head started to spin, and he dodged the burly man’s hug nimbly. With a backhand punch, he punched the other party’s abdomen, causing the burly man to arch like a prawn and fall at his feet.

  Ling Zhuzi’s forehead shone with spiritual light. At that moment, his essence soul turned into jade, and the immortal power in his body was augmented!

  The Battle Magi who were fighting on the side were immediately attracted over. They punched and raised their legs……

  Ling Zhuzi suddenly recalled the scenes of him fighting with the Heavenly Generals in the Water God Residence. His body became more agile, and his attacks became precise and ferocious.

  The ordinary Battle Magi who were acting as messengers of death were not Ling Zhuzi’s match in terms of physical combat. They were knocked down by Ling Zhuzi and thrown to the ground……

  A moment later, Ling Zhuzi stood on a small mountain. His long hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in sweat. He raised his head and roared. He tore open his thin inner robe with both hands……

  “Who else!?!”


  Ox-head, who was at the side, made a gesture. A few stronger burly Magi took off their armor and pounced forward. They grabbed Ling Zhuzi and beat him up.

  If Perfected Taiyi saw that, he would probably die in peace.

  A certain Yin Yang Master felt that he had been offended.

  Li Changshou asked the Yama Lords, “Do the Magi have any battle techniques to use weapons?”


  King Qinguang smiled and said, “Water God, don’t worry. I’ll get Ox-head and Horse-face to go to the clan to obtain such battle techniques. I’ll find some decent sparring partners to help this disciple of the Dao Sect…… increase his masculinity.”


  “Thank you, Yama Lord.”


  “Water God, you’re being too polite.”


  At that moment, the ten Yama Lords and Li Changshou rode a cloud forward. The chaotic battle at the First-Line Sky finally stopped.

  King Qinguang instructed Ox-head and Horse-face. Li Changshou took the opportunity to pass the blueprint of the “Netherworld Gallery” to the Netherworld. He naturally did not have to do it himself.

  Then, Li Changshou looked at the bruised Ling Zhuzi who was smiling shyly at him and handed over a pouch containing a paper effigy.

  “You seem to be doing well. Stay with the Magi for a while. Remember not to wander around. Contact me at any time. These exercises are just some advance preparations. The main event will be later.”


  “Okay!”


  Ling Zhuzi cupped his fists and touched the wound on his shoulder. He then grimaced.

  Li Changshou smiled and took out a few bottles of Spirit Pills. He patted Ling Zhuzi’s shoulder and rode a cloud to meet the Yama Lords. Together, they headed to the edge of the Netherworld.

  Li Changshou felt a little emotional……

  Ling Zhuzi and Yang Jian were indeed the sons of the Great Tribulation. Their cultivation level and skills in fights of magical powers could be said to have improved by leaps and bounds.

  Naturally, Ling Zhuzi still had to reincarnate.

  However, considering that Nezha was born with mystical abilities and Dharma powers, reincarnation should have only sealed the memories of Ling Zhuzi and preserved his strength. During the Great God Conferment Tribulation, how strong could Yang Jian and Ling Zhuzi be?

  Li Changshou chatted with Yan Jun and pondered carefully.

  No matter what, the two generals had to put in more effort. It was not just to have more authority in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, but also……

  “Water God, how are we going to deal with this tribulation? Do you have any information?”


  King Chujiang’s question interrupted Li Changshou’s thoughts. Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. “The heavenly secrets are confusing. I’m afraid no one knows the exact details.”


  After that, the topic was about the Great Tribulation. The ten Yama Lords had experienced the Great Tribulation of the ancient times. At that moment, they were rather worried that the Netherworld would be under the pressure of the ancient times.

  The entire Netherworld was filled with vengeful spirits. The Six Paths of Reincarnation were always blocked. Half of the souls did not have time to reincarnate before they dissipated and returned to the True Spirit state.

  “If that really happens, the Goddess will be sad again.”


  “I hope that’s not the case.”


  Li Changshou said warmly and shifted the topic to the reform of the Netherworld, making the atmosphere more lively.

  Li Changshou had arranged the entire process. He had also prepared seven to eight backup plans.

  As they approached the East Heaven Gate, the Yama Lords of the ten halls stood in a row. They each assumed the posture of an Exalted Immortal and hid the Yin Qi that was tainted in the Netherworld. They rode a cloud together with Li Changshou.

  When they arrived at the Heaven Gate, the three divine swords on the Heaven Gate emitted a dazzling divine light. The Heavenly Generals guarding the gate led the Heavenly Soldiers and bowed in unison.

  Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk. Golden light shone in front of him. A large number of Heavenly Soldiers lined up on both sides, from the East Heaven Gate to the depths of the clouds.

  “View”.

  When they arrived at the Lingxiao Hall, Li Changshou said, “Yama Lords, please.”


  The immortals of the Heavenly Courts in the hall turned around and welcomed the ten Yama Lords into the hall. The white-robed Jade Emperor on the platform maintained a faint smile.

  The ten Yama Lords bowed and the Jade Emperor said warmly, “Dear ministers, stand up. In the future, you only need to bow to me when you enter the hall. There’s no need to bow.”


  King Qinguang said, “Thank you, Your Majesty!” Li Changshou presented a memorial at the side and said that the Netherworld would listen to the Heavenly Courts from now on.

  He also sent the letter of persuasion that the Lady of Earth had personally written. He asked the Jade Emperor to love the common people and use the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

  The Jade Emperor was overjoyed. He summoned the Heavenly Emperor’s seal and deducted the Heavenly Dao mark on the memorial. Many auspicious clouds floated outside the hall.

  Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled! Golden light shone in the Seventh Heaven of the Heavenly Courts, and a golden hall appeared out of thin air. A plaque appeared on it, and there were five empty Deity Positions in the book, Five Mountains Temple! When the golden light dissipated, the hall was also enveloped by the power of the Heavenly Dao and disappeared from the Heavenly Courts. Only a ball of fog was left behind.

  The Jade Emperor said, “The Heavenly Dao has sensed it. The Deity Position has appeared. In the future, the God of the East Peak will be in charge of the Netherworld Sect. He will be in charge of communication between Heaven and Earth.”


  The ten Yama Lords, the immortals in the hall, and even the Jade Emperor looked at Li Changshou, who was beside them.

  Li Changshou was rendered speechless. IT What does this have to do with me? Isn’t this the Deity Position of the Flying Tiger after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation?

  He wanted to earn some merit and did not want to work in the Heavenly Courts.

  At that moment, rays of golden light emerged from the top of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and entered the bodies of the ten Yama Lords. There was also a ray of golden light that landed at the location of the Five Mountain Sacred Hall.

  There was no one in the Deity Position yet. He would put his merit on it first.

  Merit!

  Li Changshou remained focused in the Lingxiao Hall. He held his horsetail whisk and remained silent, looking like an expert who did not care about fame or fortune.

  In fact, his main body was waiting in a corner of the secret underground chamber of the Little Qiong Peak! Golden Body of Merit!

  It was a life-saving talisman from the Primordial World!

  He felt 30% safe!

  He only needed to put the Golden Body of Merit outside his main body. There would be another layer of protection during the great calamity!

  This was a historic moment!

  Crack!

  A thin bolt of purple lightning lit up the dark corner without any warning. It ignored the important array formations of the Little Qiong Peak and the countless arrangements in the mountain, and landed in front of Li Changshou!

  In the purple lightning, Li Changshou felt a Dao rune that he had never sensed before. It was actually……

  It was obscure, peaceful, perfect, and mysterious!

  The Dao runes condensed into four words in his heart.

  “I’ll owe him first.”


  Li Changshou sat there in a daze. He opened his mouth and exclaimed, “Ah?” After a moment, he quickly reacted and jumped out of his hiding place. He immediately bowed to the sky!

  Ling’e, who happened to pass by the vase, was so frightened that she almost shouted.

  “Yes, Master! When you have more merit, give me another one. I’m not in a hurry!”


  The Dao runes quietly dissipated in the spirit platform. Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and his back was filled with cold sweat.

  Tsk, the Grandmaster’s generation was indeed the best at playing with empty gloves and white sheep.

  Ling’e asked softly, “Senior Brother, who are you talking to?”


  “Yes, an elder who cares about the world, has a noble character, and has just attained the Dao.”


  Ling’e tilted her head. Li Changshou added silently in his heart, If not for the fact that your Golden Immortal Tribulation is still in the hands of this big shot, I would not have lowered my head so easily.

  Then…… he would have to put the sword on his neck and cry out, “You write a contract”!
