My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 710 - Ancient Dragon Soul



Chapter 710: Ancient Dragon Soul

“Report...”

A call from the front hall made Li Changshou, who was thinking about something important, frown slightly.

He had just returned to the Little Qiong Peak and had yet to say calmly in front of his junior sister, “It’s fine. I only overturned a Saint.”

Why is there another matter?

His mind streaked across the Five Heavenly Gates. There were no guests everywhere.

Li Changshou’s gaze landed in front of the Grand White Palace. He saw the Heavenly General holding the jade token with both hands and waiting with his head lowered. He sent a Taibai Jinxing paper effigy to meet the Heavenly General.

“Lord Taibai Jinxing! An old Daoist priest placed the jade token in the Middle Heavenly Gate and said that he would hand it to you immediately. Then, he bade farewell and left. The other party’s cultivation level is high. We don’t dare to be careless. We will immediately rush over to deliver the letter!”

“Yes?”

Li Changshou wrapped the jade token with his immortal power and smiled. “General, it’s been hard on you.”

“I don’t dare!”

The Heavenly General agreed and bade farewell with cupped hands.

When he left, he even made a small fist gesture, as if he was quite excited.

Li Changshou held the jade token. After confirming that there were no traps inside, he carefully looked inside.

There were no aura or Dao runes. Clearly, the other party had deliberately hidden his identity. However, there was a special mark in the jade token that tried to let him know his identity.

Nine-petaled Lotus Flower?

No, that should be a tenth-grade lotus platform. It was missing a petal.

When he had prepared a backup plan for Nezha, he had gotten a few lotus seeds with Perfected Taiyi to prepare Nezha’s lotus flower body.

It was better to be prepared.

Later on, Nezha’s tragedy was successfully resolved. The lotus flower that Perfected Taiyi had nurtured grew to nine petals and was not perfected.

Only he, Taiyi, Yu Ding, and Yang Jian knew about that matter. He reckoned that the old Daoist priest should be Perfected Taiyi.

Why didn’t he contact the paper effigy and instead send a letter to the Heavenly Courts?

There must be a problem.

Li Changshou hummed softly and read the simple content.

Senior Brother Taiyi asked him to meet at a town in the Middle Continent and even set a secret signal.

“Good brother, a blanket.”

Li Changshou could not help but suspect that Perfected Taiyi had a deep misunderstanding about the brotherhood between Yu Tu and Ling Zhuzi!

Or rather, some kind of anticipation.

The master of the Primordial World... had the perfect Eight Trigrams attribute!

However, that sentence proved Perfected Taiyi’s identity better than the mark of the lotus flower.

Li Changshou pondered for a while and felt that his senior brother should really have something important to talk to him about. He sent a paper effigy to the town nearby, but his main body did not have any intention of moving.

Do they really think that Saints are so easy to kill?

This battle had overdrawn his essence, energy, and spirit greatly. Without a pillow, he could not get up for a while.

Unfortunately, the occasion was not appropriate.

Yun Xiao also followed the immortals of Jie School back to “have a meeting”. She could not stay behind to say a few encouraging words between Dao companions.

Due to the death of the Saint, the power of living beings declined, and the power of the Great Tribulation weakened. Li Changshou could actually protect Yun Xiao, Bi Xiao, and Qiong Xiao openly.

It was just that Yun Xiao was thin-skinned. She probably would not agree to such specialization...

When Li Changshou’s paper effigy arrived at the town, he took the initiative to release some of his Dao runes. Soon, he heard a voice transmission.

“Good brother.”

Li Changshou said slowly, “Just cover the same blanket.”

It attracted the attention of many immortals on the street.

After receiving the secret signal, he was called to a private room in a restaurant by Perfected Taiyi and entered layers of barriers.

The entire town was talking about the Saint’s death.

The figures flying in the sky and the immortals running on the ground ran to tell everyone that the Sixth Saint had been killed by the disciples of the Dao Sect. The atmosphere was quite joyous.

In the private room, Li Changshou and Perfected Taiyi looked at each other. The two old Daoists dressed up, picked up their wine cups and took a sip.

“What happened?”

Li Changshou asked softly, “What can’t I tell you in the jade token?”

“It’s not safe.” Perfected Taiyi’s eyes revealed a hint of conflicting emotions.” This matter is quite troublesome, especially during the Great Tribulation. I wonder what consequences it will cause.”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior Brother, when did you learn to keep me in suspense? It’s unlike you to hesitate, Senior Brother.You’re usually carefree.”

“Tsk.” Perfected Taiyi’s eyes flickered. He said softly, “Geng, do you think that there are some immortals in Chan School that are not right?”

Li Changshou suddenly realized something. Are they talking about Wen Shu, Pu Xian, and the others who are clearly kind to the Western Sect?

In fact, Li Changshou had an answer long ago. Since the Western Sect had made a secret deal with Chan School a long time ago, a few disciples of the Western Sect had entered the Jade Void Palace and become disciples of the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.

That should be a transaction between Second Uncle-Master and the two Saints of the Western Sect. Randeng should be one of them.

Li Changshou could not figure out the details.

Just as Li Changshou was about to reply, Perfected Taiyi clicked his tongue and said softly, “Don’t you think that there’s something wrong with Senior Brother Huang Long?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“Senior Brother Huang Long?”

He was the most honest person in Chan School!

“That’s right, Huang Long. Let’s call him Huang.”

Perfected Taiyi gestured for him to keep quiet. Then, he changed to a voice transmission and spoke about a trivial matter that had just happened.

“When we returned to the Jade Void Palace, we were called to the small courtyard to listen to the lecture. Teacher actually did not reprimand us. He even asked us to cultivate our bodies and minds and not lose any morals. When I came out of the Jade Void Palace, I saw that Senior Brother Huang’s expression was gloomy. He headed out of Kunlun Mountain and I wanted to follow him from behind. I wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Senior Brother Huang. He was always captured and suppressed in fights of magical powers. This is actually not his fault. He mainly lacks a few suitable Dharma treasures. His will to attack first is not good. He is too soft-hearted...”

At that time, Perfected Huang Long walked all the way to the Middle Continent. However, he did not return to his Cave Abode, Magu Cave. Instead, he went to a hidden valley.

The valley was a natural array formation. There were layers of fog inside, and there was a hint of a terrifying aura.

Perfected Taiyi did not dare to investigate further. He waited quietly outside. After waiting for less than an hour, Huang Long flew out with a happy expression. His depression was gone.

“It’s as if a dragon has suddenly changed.”

Perfected Taiyi tapped his fingers on the table and whispered, “There must be something hidden here.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “After all, this is Senior Brother Huang’s personal matter. Perhaps... hehe.”

“I’m worried. Don’t say anything else,” Perfected Taiyi said softly. “If you say that he has a Dao companion in Magu’s Cave, it’s reasonable for him to hide a beauty in the Golden Chamber outside. However, Senior Brother Huang is not interested in that. I haven’t seen him talk about any female immortals in so many years.”

Li Changshou said, “In that case, let’s go and take a look in the dark first. We shouldn’t make wild guesses, lest we misunderstand something.”

“Alright,” Perfected Taiyi said. “Later, we will leave the city and meet in the forest 600 kilometers outside the city.”

Li Changshou agreed and left the private room with Perfected Taiyi.

Hence, half a day later.

Two young immortals laughed and landed on the cliff beside the valley. They were naturally Li Changshou and Perfected Taiyi.

The young Daoist whom Taiyi transformed into laughed.

“The spiritual energy here is abundant. It’s where the earth merges. It’s rare that there are not many Qi Refinement cultivators. It’s a wonderful place.”

“Senior Brother,” Li Changshou, who had transformed into a young man, reminded him. “This might be someone else’s residence. Why don’t we shout first?”

“Yes!”

Perfected Taiyi shook his sleeves and said to the valley,

“I, Xing Xingzi, passed by this place with Junior Brother Chang’s eldest son. I saw the beautiful scenery of the treasure land and wanted to stay here for a while. May I know if Fellow Daoist lives here? If Fellow Daoist is here, please remind me so that I won’t disturb you later.”

As he spoke, Perfected Taiyi deliberately revealed his Golden Immortal Dao runes and waited quietly for a while.

When Perfected Taiyi was not wearing red, his coquettishness was halved, and he would not start a team casually.

The words’ I have my own thoughts’ and ‘Why can’t I control my mouth’ were actually a form of mockery.

The valley was quiet. There was only one mountain with more spiritual beasts in a radius of thousands of kilometers.

Since the Great Tribulation, the Middle Continent had indeed become much more desolate. It was rare to see immortals flying everywhere previously.

“Junior Brother, there’s no one here.” Perfected Taiyi smiled and rode a cloud to bring Li Changshou down.

The clouds in the valley suddenly churned. The path ahead was covered by the clouds, and the two of them instantly lost their sense of direction.

However, who were the two of them?

Perfected Taiyi of the Qianyuan Mountain and the twelve Golden Immortals of the Jade Void Palace were extremely powerful. They set up teams accurately and landed in wonderful positions. They could retreat safely every time. They were indeed first-rate ruthless people in the Primordial World.

There was no need to say anything else. The words’ paper effigy ‘represented everything.

Without waiting for Li Changshou to point in the direction, Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “There’s actually a natural array here. Amazing! Is there anyone below? My fellow disciples did not mean to offend you. We just want to find a Cave Abode to stay in!”

As he spoke, Perfected Taiyi rode a cloud and advanced and retreated. He swayed and cleverly passed the maze and entered a paradise.

It was indeed a paradise.

This place was still in the valley, but the “storage” inside was several times larger than the outside. The sky was clear and light blue, and there were no traces of the fog from before.

There was a clear river at the bottom of the valley that connected to a pool at the end of the valley. By the river, there was a dense forest. There were countless spiritual birds and spiritual beasts inside.

Li Changshou and Perfected Taiyi used their immortal senses to investigate their surroundings at the same time. The two of them looked at each other, but there was nothing unusual.

This was beautiful scenery. There were no Cave Abodes, Qi Refinement cultivators, or even demonic beasts...

A breeze blew over, and a wisp of Dao runes streaked across the wind. It made Perfected Taiyi and Li Changshou feel uneasy at the same time, as if there was some danger hidden.

Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “I’ll go and investigate. Senior Brother, wait a moment.”

Taiyi nodded slowly. Several streams of light flew out of Li Changshou’s sleeve and turned into figures that were similar to his. They flew in all directions.

Li Changshou quickly turned the place upside down, but he did not notice anything unusual.

Instead, he found a few dragon scales that had fallen off at a riverbank. The aura on them was Perfected Huang Long.

Li Changshou said seriously, “Senior Brother, I think this place is just a place for Senior Brother Huang to hide and find peace. Aren’t we making a fuss over nothing?”

Perfected Taiyi nodded slowly and did not see any flaws.

“I should be overthinking. Let’s go back first.”

Li Changshou said, “Why don’t we look for Senior Brother Huang and ask him directly? Perhaps we will obtain more benefits than investigating here.”

Perfected Taiyi nodded and agreed. He did not think too much about that matter and left with Li Changshou.

On the way, Perfected Taiyi looked ashamed and kept saying that he was too careless.

However, after Perfected Taiyi and Li Changshou’s paper effigy left, Li Changshou secretly appeared in a forest by the river.

He hid behind a tree trunk and stared at the riverbank not far ahead. There was a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

Senior Brother Taiyi had really helped a lot this time.

If his deduction was right, this matter was very important. Not only would there be no benefits, but it might also hurt the Dao Ancestor. He could not implicate Senior Brother Taiyi.

There was not only the aura of the dragon race there.

The palpitations they felt actually came from their “instinct”.

After some thought, Li Changshou, the paper effigy, hid in the tree trunk without moving. He shifted his attention back to the Heavenly Courts and immediately sent out two jade talismans.

One went to the East Ocean Dragon Palace, while the other went to the Eight Treasures Cave of Kunlun Mountain.

In just a few days, the Qi Refinement cultivators in the five continents of the Primordial World began to talk about the matter of the Sixth Saint being killed.

A nosy person ranked the strength of the personal disciples of the Chan School and Jie School in the battle. He very accurately placed Perfected Huang Long... fifth from the bottom.

When this matter was spread to the Jade Void Palace and Magu Cave, Perfected Huang Long felt even more depressed than he already was.

Coincidentally, Perfected Taiyi and Perfected Yu Ding invited him to a banquet recently. At the banquet, they said some words of encouragement to him openly and secretly. They even said that they wanted to exchange a few treasures with him.

How could Huang Long not understand the good intentions of these two junior brothers?

However, could he take this treasure?

Of course, he could. He just had to swallow his pride.

Perfected Huang Long did not take the treasures. After the banquet, he returned to Magu Cave.

Two days later, the night was dark and the wind was strong.

Perfected Huang Long hid and left Magu Cave. He found the valley slightly further away from Magu Cave. He looked around and waited quietly for a while before entering the natural array formation.

He went straight to the riverside and passed by the dragon scales that had fallen there previously. Just as he was about to walk past them, he suddenly realized that there was a jade token lying quietly among the dragon scales. It was still the same style that he often used, and it was completely blank.

“When did it land?”

Perfected Huang Long muttered and held the jade token in his hand. He walked towards the stream of water in front of him.

There seemed to be a door quietly opening under the river, but the river water flowed quietly without anything unusual.

Perfected Huang Long stepped in and gradually turned translucent. He “drowned” in the middle of the river.

There were indeed hidden secrets under the river.

This was an extremely brilliant Cosmic Spell, like a mustard seed universe.

However, no matter how small the Mustard Seed Cosmos looked, it had a certain “volume” in the original Cosmos.

On the other hand, the Cosmic Technique in that place completely attached a universe to the Primordial World. It did not have a direct connection with the Primordial World, but it had a connection that was not spiritual energy.

The words that Li Changshou could think of were only shallow and inappropriate.

Under the water, there was an extremely complicated Cave Abode. Countless array formations were set up everywhere in the Cave Abode. There were trapping arrays, killing arrays, maze arrays, and poisonous arrays.

It would be troublesome for ordinary Zenith Heaven to take the wrong path.

These array formations were not the common concept of array formations in ancient times. There were a large number of “talismans” inserted in them. They were commonly used by ancient array formations.

Perfected Huang Long turned left and right and arrived at the deepest part of the cave that he was familiar with. He found a secret chamber.

He pushed the stone door and entered. There was a portrait and a few simple pieces of furniture in the secret chamber. In the portrait, an azure dragon soared into the sky. The domineering and tyrannical aura assaulted him.

Perfected Huang Long lit three incense sticks and sat on the meditation cushion in front of the portrait. He slowly sighed.

“Ah... Mother, am I especially useless?”

In the portrait, the azure dragon’s eyes flickered gently. The azure dragon inside slowly flew out and turned into a three-feet-tall azure dragon. Its dragon eyes flickered with bright light.

“Child, did you bring a friend over?”

Huang Long was stunned. He hurriedly said, “Mother, I came here by myself. Your existence is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao. How can I dare to let you expose yourself?”

“Ahem.” Huang Long coughed softly from his sleeve. A green light flew out. It was the communication jade token.

The communication jade token trembled slightly and transformed into Li Changshou’s figure. He bowed to the dragon in the painting.

“I’m the disciple of the Grand Pure One, Taibai Jinxing Li Changgeng of the Heavenly Courts, greetings, Dragon Mother. Please forgive me for visiting you. Senior Brother Huang Long, sorry.”

“Ah!”

Huang Long hurriedly stood up and glared at Li Changshou, speechless. After a long time, he finally said, “Junior Brother, how did you find it?”

Li Changshou explained the situation briefly and bowed to Huang Long.

“Senior Brother, don’t blame me. I just want to verify something with your mother. If I tell you directly, you will definitely not dare to agree.”

“This... This...”

“Child, you can leave first.”

The azure dragon said slowly, “I’m just a remnant soul. I’m living in peace here. I want to see what the Primordial World will do in the future. Since I’m here to kill a Saint, I will definitely tell you everything I know.”

Li Changshou pursed his lips and felt that this title... was really silly.

The azure dragon asked, “What do you want to ask, Lord Taibai Jinxing?”

Li Changshou said, “The battle between the Rahu and the Dao Ancestor and the place where the Rahu died.”

The dragon immediately fell silent. It stared at Li Changshou and did not say anything for a long time.

“You want to become the second Fiend Ancestor?”

“To be honest, Senior, I’m not interested in being a failure. Be it the Fiend Ancestor or the groundhog beside the Pangu God, “Li Changshou smiled and said,” I just want to find something. It’s very important to me.”

“What?”

“It’s not convenient to say.”

The Dragon Mother said, “I can’t tell you where it is, Fellow Daoist. You can go to the Dragon Palace to investigate.”

Li Changshou said, “There are no records of the place where the Demon Ancestor died in the Dragon Palace. It seems that someone has deliberately erased it. The only person who participated in that battle back then seems to be only you, Senior. This is the answer given by the Dragon King of the East Ocean.”

The Dragon Mother frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “Has the current dragon race chosen to stand on your side?”

Li Changshou frowned slightly and pondered for a while before looking at Perfected Huang Long.

She immediately understood. “Child, wait outside.”

Huang Long could not help but stare. However, he quickly bowed obediently and turned to leave the cave.

What?

What’s going on?
