Chapter 626 - The End of the Most Ancient Pure Yang Of The Human Race
Chapter 626: The End of the Most Ancient Pure Yang Of The Human Race
Three months later, on the city wall of Xuandu City.
The Great Daoist Master suddenly woke up from his sleep. A wisp of the Grand Pure Dao runes around him slowly dissipated.
He stood up and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
“What happened?”
Three feet away, Kong Xuan put down the scroll in her hand and greeted gently.
“Teacher just used the Dao runes to send a message and condensed two words, South Continent.”
The Great Daoist Master stood up and hurriedly said, “I’m afraid something happened to the Human Emperor. Otherwise, why would he alarm Teacher? Junior Brother should be busy setting up the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. Therefore, Teacher wants me to go.”
“I’ll accompany you.”
“Um...”
The Great Daoist Master was clearly hesitant.
Kong Xuan sighed and said, “The Heavenly Fiend Supremacy has been captured. What other Heavenly Fiends can invade?”
“Alright.”
The Great Daoist Master smiled and agreed. He looked at Kong Xuan and hesitated, but he only smiled.
He was not stupid. Kong Xuan had abandoned the Connate Sky Treasure Body for him and watched him sleep here for so many years. He could use the elimination method that his junior brother liked to use to come up with a simple conclusion.
Kong Xuan was definitely not just a brother to him!
However...
The Great Daoist Master looked at the beauty beside him, who was drop-dead gorgeous, had a unique beauty. She exuded an ethereal aura, and her words and actions were as mighty as the head of the Phoenix Clan...
At that moment, his Dao Heart was at a loss.
The unfamiliar throbbing in the depths of his Dao heart became more obvious.
The Great Daoist Master sighed. He took the opportunity to go back and consult Changshou. Should he abort the throbbing or let it grow slowly?
If he chose the latter, he might really be tempted in another ten thousand years.
The Great Daoist Master was worried.
At that moment, the Great Daoist Master and Kong Xuan packed up the soft couch, meditation cushion, and chairs on the city wall. They activated the composite array formation and instructed the Dao soldiers to guard the checkpoint.
After the Great Daoist Master settled down and was about to pass through the vortex, the universe rippled slightly. The black and white Qis opened a door.
It was the Taiji Painting.
“The situation is already so serious?”
The Great Daoist Master frowned slightly and immediately walked forward while muttering.
Kong Xuan pursed her lips slightly and calmly followed behind. Together with the Great Daoist Master, they turned into two streams of light and flew into the Cosmic Door that was opened by the Taiji Painting.
When they appeared again, they were already outside the five continents.
Without any delay, the Great Daoist Master and Kong Xuan flew over the ends of the world. Their figures glided rapidly in the sky and rushed to the South Continent, heading straight for the Shang Nation.
However, the Great Daoist Master’s immortal senses expanded...
Nothing?
Unlike the current situation where the immortal sects of the Middle Continent were in conflict and immortal blood was flowing, the South Continent was very peaceful. The Shang Nation was quietly operating, and the mortal matters were not worth mentioning.
“Well?”
The Great Daoist Master fell into a dilemma. Just as he was about to search the various parts of the South Continent, he thought that he had misunderstood his teacher’s intentions...
“Eh? Senior Brother, why are you back? Could it be that you’ve already received the news?”
A surprised voice sounded. Li Changshou’s paper effigy appeared from the Shang Nation and bowed to the Great Daoist Master from afar.
Before the Great Daoist Master and Kong Xuan landed, Li Changshou’s paper effigy had already used Wind Escape to fly closer. He bowed again.
At that moment, the Dao salute fully displayed Li Changshou’s guilt and guilt.
It was all his teacher’s orders.
“Senior Brother, Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan!”
According to the plan, Li Changshou took the initiative to tease them. “It’s been many years since we last met. The two of you are already inseparable. Not bad, not bad. Congratulations.”
The Great Daoist Master frowned and said, “Changgeng, don’t spout nonsense. Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan and I are not inseparable.”
He originally wanted to call him Changshou, but he recalled Li Changshou’s habit and changed the way he addressed him.
Li Changshou pretended to be surprised and looked at Kong Xuan before looking at the Great Daoist Master. His expression was a little awkward and apologetic.
Kong Xuan, who had received the news in advance, sighed softly. He was a little disappointed.
The Great Daoist Master pretended not to notice and calmly changed the topic.
“Changgeng, you said that you received news just now. What news did you obtain?”
“This...”
Li Changshou chuckled and said, “Senior Brother, why don’t we go to Anshui City first? We’ll know when we get there. I’ll use my main body to rush over.”
The Great Daoist Master was a little confused. He stood in the sky above the Shang Nation and looked towards the south. He looked at hundreds of thousands of kilometers and immediately had a strange expression.
“Changgeng, you arranged it?”
“Senior Brother, what do you think?”
“It’s flashy but useless. It’s not necessary to waste the people’s money.” The Great Daoist Master shook his head and folded his hands. “Forget it. Since Teacher asked me to come back, he should want me to appear in front of the mortals. I’ll wait for you there first.”
“I won’t go over.”
Kong Xuan looked disappointed as if she was angry.
She said, “I’ll take a walk in the Shang Nation. The destiny of the Shang Nation is connected to the destiny of the phoenix race. I can’t be careless.”
“Fellow Daoist, please.”
The Great Daoist Master smiled and bowed.
Kong Xuan bowed and went into stealth before turning around and walking towards a corner of the Shang Nation.
Then, the Great Daoist Master temporarily bade farewell to Li Changshou’s paper effigy and rode a cloud towards the South Ocean. He did not fly too fast and had a smile on his lips.
Finally, I can temporarily separate from Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan...
He was a little disappointed and worried, thinking that she would not really be angry.
When the Great Daoist Master arrived at Anshui City, Li Changshou “happened” to arrive. After greeting the Great Daoist Master, he led the Great Daoist Master to the southwest corner of Anshui City.
Over there, a few mortals were gathered in front of a new temple. Dozens of Divine Envoys of the Sea God Sect were knocking on their tools and singing a huge opera.
They were saying that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was heroic and invincible.
He sang that the Grand Pure One’s eldest disciple protected the human race’s fire seed in the darkness.
The Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou turned invisible and stopped for a while. Although the Great Daoist Master had done those things back then, it was really...
It was a little embarrassing.
“Changshou, why do I need incense merit?”
The Great Daoist Master smiled and sighed. “Why do you suddenly want to establish a temple for me?”
Li Changshou said seriously, “Establishing a temple is not just for the merit of incense offerings. It’s also to let your contributions to the human race be passed down in the mortal world. Otherwise, as time passes, no one will know how heroic you are when you fight the Demon Emperor. Wouldn’t that be a huge regret?”
The Great Daoist Master raised his hand and hammered Li Changshou’s shoulder. He smiled and asked, “Is there something I need to do? Did you specially do this kind of work? If you ask, can I reject you?”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
I’m not afraid of you rejecting me. I’m just afraid that you won’t be able to save face.
Li Changshou reckoned that his teacher, Uncle-Master, the Jade Emperor, Grandmaster, and the other big shots were all looking at that place. It was not appropriate for him to say anything. He only smiled and said, “Ah, Senior Brother has seen through me.”
“You! Why are you so distant?”
The Great Daoist Master shook his head and was a little dissatisfied.
Li Changshou made an inviting gesture and brought the Great Daoist Master to the courtyard that had been prepared in the city.
A moment later, Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master were soaking in the hot spring in the backyard. They activated layers of array formations and placed a steaming white towel on their foreheads. They looked up and leaned against the pool made of jade.
“Ah...”
The Great Daoist Master heaved a sigh of relief. “The thing that Third Uncle-Master likes is not bad. It can relax your Dao Body and allow spiritual energy to enter and leave on its own. It’s similar to the medicinal bath. It was very comfortable. Tell me, what can I do for you?”
“There’s no hurry.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “This bath is just the first round. I’ve prepared a follow-up service for you, Senior Brother. Senior Brother has been at the border of the Xuandu City for a long time. I’m only representing myself to express my condolences to Senior Brother! I can enjoy it occasionally.”
“Huh?”
The Great Daoist Master’s nose twitched. “Why do I feel like I’m scheming?”
“How would I dare to plot against Senior Brother?”
Li Changshou sighed and said, “I’m only able to be where I am today because of your guidance back then. Senior Brother, you are the benefactor in my life. If not for Senior Brother’s summon in the valley, I would probably be a Golden Immortal of the Immortal Du Sect.”
The first emotional tactic: Let’s chat.
The Great Daoist Master’s eyes were filled with memories. He smiled and said, “That’s different. You will definitely achieve something...”
At the same time, in the small courtyard that Li Changshou had just appeared in in the Shang Nation’s capital, there was a completely different world there. There was also a Mustard Seed Cosmic Array in the backyard.
In the warm pavilion in the array formation, Kong Xuan sat in the Spirit Pool that was filled with petals to bathe. Princess Long Ji and more than ten Jade Pool fairies shuttled back and forth, carrying beautiful dresses and accessories.
Many of them were treasures personally chosen by the Queen Mother!
Kong Xuan frowned slightly and looked at the detailed plan recorded in the jade token in his hand. Although she wanted to maintain the aloofness of being a big shot of the phoenix race and ignoring everyone, her face kept turning red.
Changgeng actually asked me to do such a thing. This Li Changgeng is really...
He understands my intentions.
What?
She had taken a liking to the Great Daoist Master. She had already made up her mind. If she could attack, she would naturally do so. If she could not defeat the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, would she, Kong Xuan, have waited until today?
If it was like the customs of the human race, it would not be a problem for them to get married.
However, since she had Junior Brother Changgeng’s arrangements and Teacher Taiqing’s decree, why can’t she take the initiative to suppress the Great Daoist Master’s Dao nature and increase his “humanity”?
Long Ji said, “Senior Kong Xuan, have you seen my master’s plan? My master will try his best to stall for time. You can make more preparations.”
“I’ve seen them all.”
Kong Xuan said, “However, if the Great Daoist Master is unwilling, what can I do?”
“Senior, what you see is only a plan related to you,” Long Ji said gently. “Master has already begun to plot. Yes, he has taken some steps. Master will try his best to win the Great Daoist Master’s heart. Whether he can really break in will depend on Senior’s performance.”
“Alright...”
Kong Xuan hummed softly and hesitated. She endured the embarrassment and shyness that she should not have and said calmly, “However, I don’t know much about this matter. Living beings like me are more compatible with the Great Dao. Although I can see many mortals merging their Yin and Yang with my immortal senses, my Dao heart does not have any ripples. What should we do?”
Long Ji smiled and said, “My master is ready.”
After saying that, Long Ji clapped her slender hands gently.
The door to the side room opened. Two old women walked in and bowed to Kong Xuan.
An old woman smiled and said, “I’m an Elder of the World Edge Pavilion. I’m in charge of the cultivation of the women who have just entered the pavilion.”
The other old woman said, “Don’t misunderstand. The World Edge Pavilion has never done anything to force others to enter the pavilion. This bit of reputation has long been spread outside. You will know after some deductions.”
The corners of Kong Xuan’s mouth twitched.
I, the esteemed...
Forget it. It is for my long-cherished wish.
In the end, it is to help me prevent the Dao Transformation.
...
Two hours later.
In the evening, in the small bamboo structure of Anshui City in the South Continent, some curtains danced, and the fairies in the forest played the zither and played the flute.
The mysterious array formations hidden around the courtyard isolated the noise of the mortal world and the mortal world, turning the place into an immortal realm.
The breeze blew, and the flowers and birds sang.
Two young Daoists with long hair and loose robes sat in the small building, drinking and chatting.
Li Changshou was sitting cross-legged while the Great Daoist Master was sitting diagonally.
“Changgeng, are you saying that you invited the Old Man of the South Pole to the Heavenly Courts and became Changshou’s righteous god?”
“Yes,” Li Changshou said warmly. “This is also to balance the relationship between the Heavenly Courts and Chan School and Jie School. It will increase Chan School’s influence in the Heavenly Courts. Now, many immortals of the Heavenly Courts viewed Chan School as evil and righteous. Actually, the two sects were both Dao Sects. There is not much difference. In the end, it’s because my personal feelings have affected the entire Heavenly Courts.”
“Don’t think that way.” The Great Daoist Master said warmly, “If I’m in the pool, how can I avoid ripples? I was the one who brought you and Yun Xiao together. At that time, I did not consider that there would be such a huge calamity later. I only thought that Junior Sister Yun Xiao is very gentle and had powerful abilities. If you can marry her, wouldn’t our Ren School have another expert? Hahahaha!”
Li Changshou chuckled and watched as the Great Daoist Master finished the wine in one gulp and filled his cup with the Jade Pool Immortal Brew.
He had already pulled the third move—”Drink”.
The second move was about sad matters. He had already said a few things previously, causing a deep resonance.
Li Changshou smiled and asked, “Actually, Senior Brother, I have some questions. Back then, you asked Elder Moon to set up a Dao companion image for Ren School. Then, you should be very good at the matters between men and women?”
The Great Daoist Master smiled calmly. “Of course... I know a little. Changgeng, aren’t you an expert? I have heard of the treasure maps that you prepared for Junior Brother Gongming. I heard that they are very valuable.”
“Senior Brother, please excuse me.”
Li Changshou took the opportunity to take out a portrait from his sleeve. “This is a painting of a beauty under the moon that Junior Brother has recently completed. Senior Brother, do you want to evaluate it?”
“Come.” The Great Daoist Master took the painting. “I want to see if your painting skills have improved... You’re wearing too little clothes. It’s less blurry.”
“I already said that this is the painting of a beauty under the moon.” Li Changshou smiled awkwardly.
The Great Daoist Master’s reaction...
Ah, I have to do something!
The Great Daoist Master handed the treasure map back in a disinterested manner. He changed the topic and asked about the God-Conferment Tribulation.
Li Changshou naturally did not want the Great Daoist Master to be too involved in the Great Tribulation.
Under Li Changshou’s control, Ren School had already escaped the Great Tribulation. If there was no need for it in the future, he would not want the Great Daoist Master to take action. There was a small possibility that he would fall into the Great Tribulation.
The Great Daoist Master was not being polite by saying that he was destined to be a benefactor. That was what he thought.
Soon, Li Changshou finished a pot of wine and took out a small jar of wine that he had prepared for a long time.
“Senior Brother, do you want to try this wine? This is not the Jade Pool Immortal Brew. I brewed it myself. There are 360 types of precious materials inside. They have also used the roots of the supreme-grade Connate Spirit Root that are difficult to find. There is only one jar in the world!”
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Can’t you keep such good wine for your wedding with Yun Xiao and Ling’e?”
“No, I will only offer this wine to Eldest Senior Brother.”
Li Changshou’s eyes flickered, and his eyes turned red. “Senior Brother, this is a token of my appreciation. Senior Brother, you have no desires, you are quiet and do nothing. You are carefree and unrestrained. I really don’t know how to express my gratitude to you. Today, you must drink this wine. I don’t know what to say, but...”
“Alright, alright. Why are you saying that? You’re not being carefree.”
The Great Daoist Master waved his hand and grabbed the palm-sized wine jar. He casually activated the immortal restrictions on it and smelled an intoxicating fragrance.
He raised his head, poured the wine, and gulped it down.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
“Senior Brother,” Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Use 30 %...”
Bang!
The Great Daoist Master placed the empty wine jar on the table and smiled warmly at Li Changshou.
“I won’t allow it in the future. Burp! Don’t say such nonsense in the future. Ren School is not happy about this. Simply put... Changshou, why is your wine a little too strong?”
The Great Daoist Master frowned slightly and shook his head. Then, he turned his body awkwardly. His gaze was a little blurry.
At this moment!
A ray of golden light landed in the courtyard and transformed into the figure of a Heavenly General. He knelt on one knee at Li Changshou and said, “Lord Taibai Jinxing! General Dongmu requests that you return to the Heavenly Courts immediately!”
Li Changshou frowned and said to the Great Daoist Master, “Senior Brother, I...”
“Hurry up, business is more important!”
The Great Daoist Master held his forehead with his left hand and waved his right hand. “I’m feeling light-hearted now. I can take a rest and continue drinking when you return.”
Li Changshou stood up and bowed. Then, he hurriedly left with the Heavenly General and activated the layers of array formations.
The Great Daoist Master heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the empty wine jar and smiled calmly.
Little Changshou, didn’t you set me up with Teacher today? Do you really think I’m drunk?
This bit of wine... is really strong. I can’t even suppress it.
What else is there?
Dong ~
The sound of spring water suddenly sounded in the garden. Then, there was the ethereal sound of the zither. Two rows of beautiful figures danced in front of the pavilion in the distance, causing the Great Daoist Master to subconsciously look over.
Huh? Why do I feel strange?
At that moment, a soft sigh sounded from the side. Before the Great Daoist Master could turn his head, the familiar Dao runes, familiar aura, and a little unfamiliar fragrance floated over at the same time. He was already wrapped by a pair of jade arms.
“Kong Xuan, Fellow Daoist? You are...”
“Dao begets Yin and Yang. Dao has you and me. I don’t want to be your friend. I want to be your Dao companion... You don’t have a name. I want to give you my surname.”
The Great Daoist Master’s Dao heart trembled. He felt drunk. Although his eyes were still clear, the thoughts in his heart became complicated.
Not long after, layers of array formations around the pavilion were activated. The Taiji Painting appeared above the pavilion and sealed the universe.
On the cloud, Li Changshou looked at the scene below and smiled calmly.
The anchor that had kept his senior brother in the world and prevented him from being led away by the Great Dao had finally been stabilized.
