When the immortals heard the words’ no battle ‘, their reactions were different.

  Li Changshou took out a few spare scrolls and spread them among the immortals of the two sects. He handed the scroll in his hand to his three senior brothers.

  The so-called battle pact was not the Heavenly Dao oath that Li Changshou knew the most. It was a pure agreement.

  The core content of the agreement was very simple.

  “Before the meeting of the Purple Cloud Palace, the Ren School will help the other party with all their might.”


  Most of the words on the scroll were used to reduce the number of loopholes that could be exploited.

  Not long after, the Eldest Senior Brothers of the three sects nodded. The immortals of the two sects also felt that this matter was not bad.

  Some immortals from Chan School were not too satisfied with that. It was reasonable. After all, if they signed the agreement to not fight, the two sects would not be able to fight. The twelfth-grade red lotus seemed to be firmly in the hands of Jie School……

  However, if he stood up and said all that now, wouldn’t he be treated as a spy planted by the Western Sect?

  Therefore, no immortals from Chan School expressed their dissatisfaction.

  That was naturally within Li Changshou’s consideration.

  Jie School valued loyalty and Chan School’s reputation. Most of the former would easily rise to power, while the latter would protect themselves.

  These were all aspects that could be calculated.

  When the Eldest Senior Brothers of the three sects each raised their brushes and wrote down their Dao names, apart from Ren School, there were three other respectable Eldest Disciples from both sides who walked forward and wrote down their names. This “agreement” that was made without a Heavenly Dao oath was thus fulfilled.

  The “shelf life” lasted until the Saint Meeting in the Purple Cloud Palace.

  Great Daoist Master Xuan Du raised the scroll and was about to give a speech that was neither generous nor passionate. However, Li Changshou suddenly whispered, “It’s not over yet, Senior Brother. It’s best if you have three copies of this. The three sects will preserve it.”


  Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not help but smile and let Li Changshou continue. An hour later, the battle agreement was settled.

  Perfected Huang Long heaved a sigh of relief and said, “For some reason, I feel much more at ease now.”


  “Three flowers bloom in one vine. The three sects are one. Why fight and kill? Why don’t you sit down and drink tea?”


  “Since we have already signed the agreement to not fight today, let’s return to our Cave Abodes and cultivate in peace. In the future, we will wait for the three teachers in the Purple Cloud Palace to discuss the Great Tribulation. If we have to face the tribulation, we will come to the mortal world!”


  “I have offended you previously. Fellow disciples of Chan School, please don’t blame

  me.”


  “My sect has also dealt with something inappropriate……”


  The tense atmosphere finally eased.

  The immortals from both sides, for the sake of their pride and dignity, spoke warmly and gently.

  It was none other than……

  The red lotus wanted to take action and intercept the tribulation to protect the sect.

  Unexpectedly, there were many schemes. Changgeng planned to stay safe for now.

  The immortals of the two sects expressed their thoughts and decided to return to the mountain to cultivate.

  Just as the two sects were harmonious, Chi Jingzi stroked his beard and asked, “Then…… how should we deal with this red lotus?”


  The top floor of the Reincarnation Pagoda fell silent again.

  Li Changshou smiled and said, “This matter is easy to resolve. Today, the three sects will attack together. We will first find this red lotus and see if we can take it away. If we can’t take away the red lotus, and the birth of the red lotus causes the Three Realms to be in chaos, we will destroy the red lotus with all his might. If he could take it away, he would offer the red lotus to the three teachers and let them decide how to deal with it. What do you think?”.

  The immortals of Chan School pondered carefully. It was indeed the best way to deal with the Saint.

  The immortals of Jie School thought hard about it. As long as they could retrieve the red lotus, their master was in need of such a treasure to suppress the destiny of the sect. How could their Aunt-Masters not let them?

  It was most likely going to belong to Jie School!

  Therefore, the immortals of the two sects nodded. The Chan School praised the Water God, Li Changgeng, for being intelligent and resourceful. The Jie School sighed and felt that their son-in-law was really helping them.

  After another round of greetings, Li Changshou handed the authority of the venue to the three senior brothers and secretly told the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du where the Golden Roc was……

  Then, Li Changshou went to the corner and looked at the green ox and Bai Ze. He heaved a long sigh of relief.

  He had settled this temporarily.

  Bai Ze praised via voice transmission. “The Water God’s plan is admirable. He has worked so hard for the Dao Sect. He deserves a reward.”


  The green ox also said, “Senior Brother Changgeng, you did well today!”


  Li Changshou looked at the sky and put aside the thoughts that he wanted to ask for money back into his heart. He squinted and smiled. He meditated on the spot and continued to think.

  He temporarily suppressed the conflict and focused on plotting against the red lotus……

  A moment later, Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi began to give orders.

  Li Changshou had already formulated a plan to find the red lotus and obtain it. He had handed it to his senior brother, the Great Daoist Master. At that moment, he was just using the words of the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du to mobilize the immortals of the three sects.

  This time, the Dao Sect wanted to enter in a high-profile manner and persuade the various itinerant cultivators to suppress the Asura who was causing trouble.

  The Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals, and the Netherworld were the backup of the Dao Sect. If necessary, they could seal the entrance to the Netherworld.

  Considering that the secret place where the red lotus was located was definitely extremely dangerous, if the Dao Sect went too salty…… Ahem!

  If the Dao Sect had too many Qi Refinement cultivators with insufficient cultivation levels and no treasures to protect them in the past, not only would they have died in vain, but they would also be a burden to the top experts.

  Therefore, Li Changshou’s plan was to use the Eldest Senior Brother of the three sects as the core and build a team of about ten people.

  Not long after, figures flew out of the Reincarnation Pagoda and rushed to the edge of the sea of blood to provide support.

  The Eldest Senior Brother of the three sects had also chosen experts from the same sect. At that moment, he was waiting for two or three people to rush over.

  The disciples of Ren School were naturally the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du and Li Changshou.

  The Eldest Senior Brother of Chan School was rather biased towards Perfected Taiyi. Perfected Taiyi declined and was unwilling, but he was still pushed onto the pirate ship by Perfected Yu Ding.

  Jie School was the most enthusiastic.

  The three immortals who had appeared today to serve the Grandmaster of Heaven-the Black Clouds Immortal, the Spirit Tooth Immortal, and the Golden Hooped Immortal – took the initiative to fight. Daoist Duobao rejected them.

  The Seven Immortal Attendants were seven experts who served the Grandmaster of Heaven. Although their Dharma powers were deep and their abilities were good, they had not been given any treasures by the Grandmaster of Heaven. Their overall combat power was slightly inferior to the eight disciples of Jie School.

  Among the eight disciples, Qiong Xiao, Bi Xiao, and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit were slightly weaker than the other five. They were also eliminated by Daoist Duobao. The other five attacked together.

  Although Bi Xiao was purely sitting at home and rejecting the Netherworld, she had been watching the house on the Three-Immortal Island and did not participate in the experience.

  Regarding that, Qiong Xiao was depressed. She ran over and pouted. She called Li Changshou her brother-in-law a few times. Li Changshou could only use the excuse that he could not interfere with the Eldest Senior Brother’s decision and temporarily appease him.

  At that moment, the Dao Sect’s lotus picking team was waiting for the Goddess of Wudang, the Goddess of Golden Spirit, and Fairy Yun Xiao to rush over……

  COL

  In the corner, Li Changshou asked, “Mr. Bai, are you going to look for the red lotus later?”


  Bai Ze smiled and said, “If the Water God needs anything, I will follow him.”


  “Thank you, Mr. Bai,” Li Changshou said seriously. “This trip is unpredictable. I can’t see through the dangers. The heavenly secrets are mixed up. With Mr. Bai’s mystical ability to seek luck and avoid calamity, there will be an additional guarantee.”


  al

  If possible, Li Changshou did not want to go to such a dangerous place. However, Teacher Taiqing had given him so many treasures and the word ‘go’.……

  The green ox smiled and said, “Senior Brother Changgeng, I’ll go with you. We don’t have many disciples in Ren School. We don’t have enough disciples. We can only use mounts.”


  “How would I dare to put you in danger?”


  Li Changshou refused with a smile and sent a voice transmission. “I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on Qiong Xiao later. She’s impatient and likes to cause trouble. If she wants to attack secretly, use the Vajra Bracelet to collect her Golden Flood Dragon Scissors.”


  The old bull raised his hand and touched his nose ring. He was puzzled. “Senior Brother Changgeng, how do you know that this is a treasure refined by the Grand Supreme Elder?”


  Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

  Uh, they were chatting so much.

  How could I not know? In the future, you will be King, who will take in the Sun Monkey’s Golden-Hooped Rod and snatch the six sets of Nezha. You will play the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts like monkeys. In the end, the Grand Supreme Elder came and transformed into his original form. He patted his buttocks and left.

  One could say that green ox’s abilities, background, and treasures were much better than the Demon Ox, who had been hollowed out by wine and sex. He was indeed the best ox in the Western Sect.

  Li Changshou smiled calmly and did not explain.

  The burly green ox blinked and seemed to have understood something.

  As for what he understood…… that was not important.

  Bai Ze said, “Water God, let’s go over first.”


  “Yes,” Li Changshou agreed. He tidied his robe and stood up. He raised his hand and wiped his face, turning into the usual young Daoist.

  He took off his white robe and changed into a green robe. He turned his long hair from silver to black and simply tied it up.

  The reason why he changed his image was mainly because that would arouse the “protection” of the Eldest Senior Brother of the three sects……

  It was not because Yun Xiao was coming and he wanted to become more handsome!

  He turned around and took a step forward. Not far away, the experts of the Dao Sect gathered their gazes and revealed smiles.

  Dong!

  Drums?

  No, his Dao heart suddenly trembled!

  In an instant!

  It was as if he had fallen into Goddess Nuwa’s “time halt” mystical ability. In Li Changshou’s eyes, the colors on the top floor of the pagoda suddenly faded and turned into deep gray. His essence soul twitched and his spiritual perception trembled!

  Danger!

  That was the reaction from the paper effigy!

  There was nothing unusual about the treasures that his main body carried!

  Li Changshou returned to his senses and immediately severed the connection between his main body and the paper effigy. He analyzed the images in his heart.

  On the back of the Golden-Winged Roc in the Blood Sea……

  At the moment the intense sense of danger erupted, layers of ripples appeared in the universe in front of the paper effigy. A black spear broke through the universe and pierced towards his chest!

  The Golden-Winged Roc, which was hiding its body, reacted at lightning speed. Golden feathers of light erupted from its body. However, before the rain of light appeared, the spear had already pierced through the paper effigy’s chest!

  The scene stopped when the Golden-Winged Roc cried ruthlessly.

  That spear……

  The twisted black shadow in the wrinkled universe……

  The murderous aura alone made his heart tremble!

  Li Changshou subconsciously took half a step back. His face was pale, and his breathing was slightly irregular.

  How many dangers were hidden in the Primordial World……

  The dozen-odd immortals saw Li Changshou’s sudden appearance. The Great Daoist Master arrived in front of Li Changshou in a flash. He raised his hand and grabbed Li Changshou’s wrist. A peaceful aura surrounded Li Changshou.

  At the same time, the spiritual perception of the Taiji Painting landed in Li Changshou’s heart.

  ас

  The Connate Cardinal treasure that had accompanied the Grand Pure One since the creation of the world was naturally knowledgeable. At that moment, three words condensed in Li Changshou’s heart and pointed out the tail of the spear.

  “What’s wrong?” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du asked in concern.

  “Senior Brother, hurry!”


  Yin and Yang Qi flew out of Li Changshou’s palm and turned into the Taiji Painting that returned to the Great Daoist Master’s left shoulder. “In the location I mentioned just now, the Golden-Winged Roc is in trouble. God-Slaying Spear!”


  The Great Daoist Master was shocked. His figure disappeared without leaving behind any afterimages. The universe was filled with creases.

  The power of the Connate Cardinal treasure, the Taiji Painting, that was activated by the Great Daoist Master could be more than half revealed!

  The immortals surrounded him.

  Daoist Duobao asked, “What God-Slaying Spear?”


  “Wasn’t the God-Slaying Spear destroyed in the ancient times?”


  “Is it the God-Slaying Spear formed by the Chaos Green Lotus Root? The weapon of the Fiend Ancestor Rahu back then?”


  Li Changshou took a deep breath. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda floated above his essence soul. The Cosmic Ruler also emerged from his palm. The anxiety and weakness in his heart disappeared……

  Li Changshou explained, “There’s no time to lose. Let’s talk about the details on the way. Let’s help my senior brother first. The red lotus was probably targeted by an impressive mighty figure. A paper effigy was guarding where the red lotus was suspected to be. It had just been ambushed by a phantom holding the God-Slaying Spear. Marshal Golden Roc should not be a match for the God-Slaying Spear. Senior Brother, please rush over to help.”


  A cloud appeared in Li Changshou’s palm and quickly formed a few images.

  Daoist Duobao flicked his sleeve and took out a bronze chariot!

  “There’s no time to explain. Get on the carriage! We have discussed here for so long. Don’t let the red lotus be snatched by others!”


  Zhao Gongming, Li Changshou, and Bai Ze immediately jumped onto the carriage with Daoist Duobao.

  Guang Chengzi turned around and instructed Perfected Yu Ding and Perfected Taiyi, “Don’t force yourself later.”


  The three experts of Chan School immediately followed.

  The bronze chariot was about to open. Qiong Xiao and the Goddess of Turtle Spirit lowered their heads and sneaked over, wanting to sneak up from the side.

  However, the Grand Supreme Elder’s green ox recalled Li Changshou’s previous instructions and immediately rushed forward. It opened its arms and stopped the two fairies of Jie School……

  The green ox smiled and said, “Let’s ride the cloud over. Don’t cause trouble for the senior brothers.”


  With that delay, Daoist Duobao had already activated the Numinous Treasure chariot.

  The universe in front of him collapsed, revealing a huge hole. The war chariot turned into a stream of light and flew in. The universe instantly returned to normal.

  Qiong Xiao glared at the green ox and recalled that it was the Grand Supreme Elder’s mount. She snorted unhappily and pulled the Goddess of Turtle Spirit out of the pagoda.

  Once the experts of the Dao Sect left, the Reincarnation Pagoda quickly became quiet.

  Ksitigarbha sat in front of the window and pondered over Li Changshou’s words.

  “Truth Listener?”


  “Master, don’t ask.” Truth Listener lay down obediently. “We can’t interfere in this matter. The three Eldest Senior Brothers of the Dao Sect are enough to deal with it.”


  Ksitigarbha frowned and pondered. He asked, “Are there any plans for the two teachers here?”


  “There should be. Let’s take advantage of the situation and add fuel to the fire.”


  Truth Listener sighed and looked up at the low sky outside the window.

  “Once the Great Tribulation comes, the red lotus will appear. Demons and ghosts will jump out. Since the ancient times of the Primordial World, the victor was clear, and the loser was turbid. Even if these turbidities were gathered into a pile, how could they defeat the clear that was even stronger than before? If I struggle in vain, I might as well find a place to live.”


  “Huh?”


  Ksitigarbha glanced at the green-furred dog beside him. “Could it be that I’m also your safe haven?”


  “That can’t be.” Truth Listener blinked and said righteously, “Back then, I purely saw that you were intelligent and resourceful. It was definitely not because of your identity as a disciple of the Saint!”


  “Hmph!”


  Ksitigarbha flicked his sleeve and closed the various exits of the Reincarnation Pagoda. He sat there and closed his eyes to rest. Everything had nothing to do with him.

  Not long after Li Changshou and the other immortals from the Dao Sect left the Reincarnation Pagoda, the sea of blood had appeared at some point in time above the huge vortex that was more than 50 kilometers in diameter. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was holding a Golden-Winged Roc that was covered in blood and waiting quietly. Before the Dao charm of the Taiji Painting dissipated, a pulverized killing aura echoed everywhere.

  In the vortex below, the universe was repairing itself. There were still remnant Heavenly Dao Dao runes there, as if the place had suffered a Heavenly Punishment not long ago.

  A round hole appeared in the universe as the bronze chariot rumbled out.

  Daoist Duobao put away the numinous treasure and the seven figures quickly rushed to the Great Daoist Master’s side.

  “Senior Brother!”


  Li Changshou shouted and pulled Bai Ze’s arm forward.

  Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, who was in a daze, turned around and gently pushed the unconscious Golden-Winged Roc to Li Changshou.

  The Golden-Winged Roc was covered in blood. Its chainmail had long been destroyed, and its long hair was stained with blood. There were more than twenty wounds around it. They were all rather deep puncture wounds, and the wounds were wrapped in wisps of black gas.

  Fortunately, the Golden-Winged Roc’s essence soul was only slightly injured. At that moment, it was resisting the corrosion of the killing aura. There was a rich medicinal effect in its

  body……

  Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said awkwardly, “I was careless and let the other party escape.”


  Daoist Duobao asked, “How many ferocious people are there?”


  “There seem to be three or four people,” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said. “The ferocious person who ambushed Changgeng’s incarnation and the Golden-Winged Roc should have deliberately diverted our attention.”


  Guang Chengzi asked, “Senior Brother, can you see the other party’s background? Is it really the God-Slaying Spear?”.

  as

  “No.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du shook his head with a solemn expression. “That God-Slaying Spear is the God-Slaying Spear, but it’s not the God-Slaying Spear either? It was just fusing the remnants of the God-Slaying Spear and refining it again. It was far from the power of the Ancient God-Slaying Spear. I clashed with him and threw the Golden-Winged Roc over. I retreated and left a few afterimages in the universe. The red lotus that has yet to form is on these ferocious people.”


  Li Changshou handed the Golden-Winged Roc to Bai Ze and said, “I have a way to search for the Blood Lotus…… Senior Brother, can I save that paper effigy?”


  The Great Daoist Master shook his head. “The other party has captured your paper effigy. He seems to be searching for something in your paper effigy’s storage Dharma artifact.”


  Huh? What are they searching for?

  Li Changshou frowned and pondered. Then, his eyes lit up.

  What could he have in his storage Dharma artifact that could interest the other party? The Flame of Heart beside him? A little poison? A horsetail whisk?

  No, they were not. They were the 99 negative karma-ridden souls.

  To the red lotus, that should be a small tonic.

  Li Changshou pondered in his heart and paced back and forth above the sea of blood. He apologized to the 99 souls. He had caused their souls to dissipate. He had to burn some paper offerings later.

  The Golden-Winged Roc was not seriously injured. Li Changshou’s tense mind relaxed.

  The most important thing now was to find the location of the red lotus as soon as possible.

  Li Changshou looked at Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao. He cupped his hands and said, “I’ll have to trouble you two senior brothers to inform your fellow immortals. From now on, seal the sea of blood and let unrelated people leave as soon as possible. Rumor has it that when the red lotus erupted, it would devour the souls of living beings with lower cultivation levels to fill itself. If it doesn’t make sense, it’s best to banish them. I will get the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to announce it everywhere.” “Sure!”


  “Yes!”


  Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao agreed and immediately sent out jade talismans. Li Changshou paced back and forth and thought for a while. He already had a paper effigy rushing to the Yama Hall. He was prepared to take out dozens of negative karma-ridden souls and search for the red lotus.

  Li Changshou’s eyes lit up. Merit!

  Golden light surged out of his right palm. He pulled out some merit and condensed it into a lotus flower. A layer of immortal power was wrapped around it.

  With the Merit Lotus, Li Changshou teleported 50 kilometers away and pondered while facing the sea of blood.

  He knew that negative karma and merit could cancel each other out. The twelfth-grade negative karma red lotus was absorbing negative karma and should reject merit……

  That’s not right. It’s fine if the red lotus does not absorb merit. There’s no need to keep the merit away from myself.

  He could not make such a simple judgment.

  Great Daoist Master Xuan Du and the others rushed over from behind. They did not dare to disturb Li Changshou. Li Changshou sat cross-legged on the sea of blood and pondered quietly. A moment later, a few beautiful figures flashed past the edge of the sea of blood. One was white, one was gold, and the other was light blue. They rushed over with all their might……

  Li Changshou suddenly understood the key to that place. He turned around and shouted, “Senior Brother Duobao, do you have any Merit Numinous treasures for me to use!?!” “Ahem.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du interrupted. “Changgeng, there’s no need to go through so much trouble.” “Huh?” Li Changshou could not help but be stunned. The Great Daoist Master placed his hands behind his back and raised his chin towards the southwest. “Look there.”


  Li Changshou turned around and the corners of his mouth twitched.

  90,000 kilometers southwest, a blood-red pillar of light shot into the sky. Rings of light kept surging out from it, as if it was calling something……

  At that moment, in the Blood Sea, on the “Sky Island” where the Asuras lived, the eyes of the men and women of the Asura Clan were filled with a sanguine glow. Regardless of their age, gender or cultivation levels, they flew out of the island. They gathered in the sea of blood and formed a torrent that headed towards the place where the blood-red pillar of light appeared.

  Li Changshou immediately recognized the place under the pillar of light.

  The last time he searched for the Reincarnation Pagoda, he had passed through a dragon’s pool and tiger’s den. It was a large city that the Asura Clan’s experts were guarding!

  Standing still, Li Changshou seemed to have seen through layers of barriers and the waves of the sea of blood. He saw the old man sitting cross-legged in the ruined hall in the middle of the city and the twelve-petaled lotus flower that was about to bloom…… Naturally, he did not really see that. That was just what he had imagined.

  In fact……

  In the abandoned hall, four black shadows stood in four directions. They were either holding spears or swords as they stared at the red lotus that was condensing the twelfth

  petal.

  However, the negative karma gathered by the red lotus was not enough. The twelfth petal could not be condensed.

  After the red lotus, the image of Patriarch Nether River appeared again. However, the image was extremely faint……

  Tev

  “Do we really have to save him? Haven’t we been bullied by him enough back then?”


  “Since he is the Red Lotus, the Red Lotus is him. He has also guarded against us during the ancient agreement.”


  The black shadow holding the spear casually took out a cloth bag and tore it into pieces. He took out a spherical Dharma artifact and threw it near the blood lotus.

  Wisps of negative karma power flew out and were quickly absorbed by the red lotus.

  Well, it was better than nothing.
