Chapter 487 Immortal Alliance Leader

The Jade Void Hall was in chaos.

The twelve Golden Immortals hurriedly tried to stop the fight. With the obstruction of the spiritual pearl, Perfected Taiyi called for retribution.

Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to explain. Finally, he temporarily stabilized Perfected Taiyi and pulled him to sit beside him. He sent a voice transmission to explain the misunderstanding just now.

Ling Zhuzi had only become more combative. It was not a big deal. The immortals of Chan School did not know what was going on, but Li Changshou was rather close to Perfected Taiyi, so they were willing to do so. The disciple of Ren School, Changgeng, was the main calamity of this Great Tribulation. That was something that the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning of Chan School had personally said. It could not be wrong. What Chan School was most worried about was that Li Changshou would be biased towards Jie School because of his relationship with Fairy Yun Xiao. In the upcoming calamity that they did not know how to carry out, he would be able to trap and protect her.

Now…

The Jie School had Fairy Yun Xiao, and the Chan School also had Immortal Taiyi.

Although the two could not be mixed together…

Therefore, at that moment, Li Changshou, Perfected Taiyi, and Ling Zhuzi were gathered together to send a voice transmission. The immortals of Chan School, led by Guang Chengzi, did not disturb them. They even looked at them with… tolerant gazes. Perfected Taiyi sent a voice transmission to ask the Ling Zhuzi, “Dear disciple, tell me the truth. Which Dao companion do you want?” Ling Zhuzi smiled bitterly and hurriedly replied, “I’m dedicated to the Dao. I want to be a Dao companion. Master, why are there so many Aunt-Masters and Uncle-Masters in the sect who are Dao companions? Do I have to have a Dao companion when I’m here?”

“Oh, that’s true.” Perfected Taiyi nodded calmly and gave Li Changshou a serious look. Li Changshou sent a voice transmission in confusion. “Senior Brother, didn’t you explain everything clearly?”

“My disciple only said that he is not interested in Dao companions now. He did not say whether he is not interested in male Dao companions or female Dao companions. Isn’t that a 50-50 chance?”

Li Changshou pondered.

It did make sense… but he felt that there was something wrong with that logic. Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Senior Brother, don’t worry. I will arrange for this matter to be verified later. However, I have something to do at the Jade Void Palace today. Senior Brother, please help me.”

Perfected Taiyi raised his eyebrows and muttered via voice transmission, “You really don’t visit me for no reason. Tell me what’s the matter. I’m like you. I’ll try my best and think about it.”

Li Changshou chuckled and sent a voice transmission to Perfected Taiyi.

Yada-yada.

Perfected Taiyi quickly nodded and agreed. He brought Ling Zhuzi to the meditation cushion beside him and sat down. He muttered to Ling Zhuzi and asked about his experiences in the Heavenly Courts.

Ling Zhuzi’s eyes lit up as Perfected Taiyi nodded in satisfaction.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, have you heard about the Western Sect building the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom?” The corners of Guang Chengzi’s mouth curled into a smile. “Of course I’ve heard of it. This Burning Incense Divine Kingdom has bewitched mortals and harmed others. It should be despised by Qi Refinement cultivators.”

“Ah.” Li Changshou sighed and continued, “The two Uncle-Masters of the Western Sect have turned a blind eye to this matter. The Divine Kingdom of incense has helped the Western Sect absorb merit and increase their luck, but… Come to think of it, the Grandmaster has already indicated that the Western Sect and the two major sects of our Dao Sect will face the calamity. If the Western Sect avoids it, our Dao Sect will suffer more losses.

In fact, I have been worrying about the matter of the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom recently. I don’t have peace every day.

The Burning Incense Divine Kingdom has become the sharp sword that the Western Sect has inserted into the destiny of the human race. This matter has to be resolved in advance.” Chi Jingzi stroked his beard and smiled. “What’s so difficult about that? Changgeng, why don’t you launch a crusade in the name of the Heavenly Courts and contact Jie School to attack together? Jie School is known as a place where tens of thousands of immortals come to visit. Chan School has immortals who can use them. With your schemes, why can’t you destroy the divine kingdoms one by one?”

Li Changshou said seriously, “Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother. However, I have many worries. To put it simply, it is the prelude to the great tribulation. Both of us can be affected by the tribulation at any time, but the matter of the great tribulation had yet to be decided. If we attack with great fanfare, all our fellow disciples will be reduced to ashes. This tribulation is called the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. It means that the Heavenly Courts will prosper. Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, take a closer look…”

Guang Chengzi pondered for a while. “Could it be that if I die in the Great Tribulation, I will have a chance of survival and reincarnate as a god of the Heavenly Courts?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I guess that might be the case.”

Perfected Huang Long said, “In that case, the Heavenly Courts…” After saying that, Perfected Huang Long looked at Li Changshou and suddenly laughed. He praised, “Uncle-Master, you’re really peerless and brilliant! You entered the Heavenly Courts in advance to serve

us!”

Li Changshou said, “Teacher did not want to see the Dao Sect decline from prosperity. Therefore, he arranged for me to go to the Heavenly Courts early on. At first, I did not know what Teacher meant. I felt that the Heavenly Courts had no soldiers or generals. Teacher’s incarnation had personally gone to the Heavenly Courts to hold down the fort. My Ren School wanted to protect the Heavenly Courts. Therefore, I did something small for the Jade Emperor. However, when the great calamity descended, I realized that Teacher had such a far-reaching plan since ancient times. The Ren School supported the Heavenly Courts so that the Dao Sect would not be separated from the Heavenly Courts. That way, the Dao Sect would be protected during the great calamity. Everyone, you have to know that this Great Tribulation originates from the human race and ends in the Heavenly Courts.” Li Changshou was often ambiguous with his words. Otherwise, if he said in front of so many disciples of Chan School that Chan School had established a sect with the destiny of the human race, but would not do anything to educate the human race, no one else but Ren School would step forth to fight the demons when the human race encountered a great tribulation in the ancient times.

It was unstable and meaningless.

Daoist Ci Hang said, “In Junior Brother Changgeng’s opinion, what should we do to resolve this huge calamity?” Li Changshou said, “I’m inexperienced. I really don’t dare to answer such a question.”

“The tribulation is not something that can be settled by just one person.” Guang Chengzi sighed. “In the past, we watched the Great Magi-Demon War. Then, the Dao Sect rose and the human race prospered. Today’s calamity should be on the Dao Sect. There’s nothing we can do.” The Great Daoist Master of Numinous Treasure said calmly, “The Heavenly Dao is gradually imprisoning the power of living beings.” Perfected Huang Long sighed and said, “So what if I live forever? There are still going to be disasters. So what if I’m a Zenith Heaven? I can’t avoid endless calamities.”

Perfected Taiyi sneered. “Senior Brother… sounds like a rhyme.”

Perfected Huang Long instantly broke his cultivation and looked at Perfected Tai Yi helplessly. The latter smiled apologetically and expressed that he did not deliberately undermine him. He was straightforward.

Li Changshou brought the topic back to the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. He said that if the matter regarding the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom could not be resolved as soon as possible, the Western Sect would become a huge problem for the Dao Sect.

The logic was very simple. Even if they had to die, they didn’t want to drag their peers down.

Everyone present is smart… except for a few.

The view that Li Changshou had expressed today was to maintain the status of a family member of the Dao Sect first and minimize the threat of the Western Sect. At the same time, he would let the experts of the Western Sect fill a portion of the pit.

Guang Chengzi asked three key questions in a row.

“Junior Brother Changgeng, the Saint is in charge of the Great Tribulation this time. We can’t be compared to the Saint’s disciples. When the Western Saint stands up in the future, will he make all our schemes go down the drain?” Li Changshou answered, “Senior Brother, since we are disciples of the Saint, we should share the worries of the three teachers and plan for their pride. If our actions do not match Teacher’s wishes, Teacher will remind us. The Saint of the Western Sect had already gone down the arena several times. Every time he took the initiative to go down, the Western Sect would lose some opportunities. The great tribulation is coming. We can’t be controlled by the disciples of the Western Sect.” Guang Chengzi asked again, “Let’s not talk about the Western Sect for now. Our Dao Sect is about to enter the calamity. Junior Brother, have you thought about how to balance the Three Sects in the future?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “I’m still working for the Dao Sect. I naturally have to minimize the losses of the three sects.” Guang Chengzi nodded with a smile and asked, “Junior Brother, you want to deal with the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom of the Western Sect. How can you be sure that this is not caused by the Great Tribulation?” Li Changshou said, “When the Great Tribulation descends, all schemes are actually under the watch of the Heavenly Dao. They will affect the Great Tribulation. The matter of the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom has already shaken the foundation of the Heavenly Courts to control the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Realms in the future. It will destroy the nature of mortals and naturally destroy them.” Guang Chengzi pondered for a while and fell into deep thought. The immortals of Chan School remained silent. They pondered secretly. Only three to five people could understand what the two of them were talking about.

The Dao Sect, the Western Sect, Chan School, Jie School, the Great Tribulation and the human race.

In the end, Guang Chengzi smiled and asked, “Does Changgeng have a good plan to deal with the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom?”

He had already been convinced by Li Changshou and decided to participate in that matter.

Li Changshou sighed and said, “Speaking of that, I feel rather melancholic.”

The immortals of Chan School were instantly interested. They wanted to see what the problem that could stump Li Changshou would be. Li Changshou sat behind the short table and explained the difficulty of the matter. He only said that he had received the Jade Emperor’s orders to form an alliance between the Immortal Dao factions of the Immortal Sect in the Trichiliocosm.

The various immortal Dao factions had already contacted one to two hundred clans. The first Immortal Union Meeting would begin in a few months…

“I thought about it. How could the Western Sect let go of such an opportunity? They will definitely arrange for a large number of experts to launch a sneak attack. Not only will they be able to attack the Immortal Alliance, but they will also be able to wipe out the leaders of the forces that were resisting them. This matter is really difficult! Although the Heavenly Courts already have many soldiers, where can we find an expert who can deter the weak?” Li Changshou paused and looked around. He smiled and said, “Therefore, I came to the Jade Void Palace today because I have selfish motives. I want to invite a respectable mighty figure of Chan School to take the position of the alliance master of the Immortal Alliance…”

At that moment, Guang Chengzi calmly picked up the tea on the short table in front of him and pursed his lips. He knew that Li Changshou wanted to invite him out.

What alliance leader? That was just an alias. Chi Jingzi, who was at the side, also picked up his tea. He thought that although the various immortal Dao factions in the Trichiliocosm had great manpower, it was more or less difficult for them to be present. This position would most likely fall on him, the second and third disciple of the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.

It was just a matter of time.

Li Changshou took a deep breath and said the second half with a sincere expression, “I wonder if Deputy Sect Master Randeng is in seclusion recently. If Deputy Sect Master Randeng can become the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Union, that would be perfect!” Pfft!

Chi Jingzi really could not hold it in. He turned his head and spat a mouthful of tea to the side, nourishing Perfected Huang Long’s face. Guang Chengzi’s cultivation level was still high. He forcefully suppressed his aura and his expression instantly returned to its previous smiling state.

“Junior Brother wants to invite Deputy Sect Master Randeng to be the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Union?”

“That’s right.” Li Changshou’s expression was serious. “Of course, Deputy Sect Master Randeng is busy. He only needs to stand up for the Immortal Union Meeting this time.” Guang Chengzi pondered for a while and could not understand why. The ordinary immortals of Chan School did not know, but how could he, the twelve Golden Immortal immortal heads, not know what kind of path Randeng was? Guang Chengzi knew that Li Changshou knew about Randeng’s background. Wasn’t the person who had been the most happy to offend Randeng the Heavenly Courts’ Water God, who was also the disciple of Ren School?

Back then, when the East Continent’s Randeng schemed against the Immortal Du Sect, he was tortured by Li Changshou, Kong Xuan, and Zhao Gongming. He damaged the pagoda and destroyed his reputation. Ever since then, he had been much more obedient.

Now…

Li Changshou smiled in his heart. He had already predicted the reactions of the immortals of Chan School.

That was not a clever move, nor was it a dangerous move. It was a “proper” move that Li Changshou had come up with after much thought. Guang Chengzi asked uncertainly, “Really?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Really.”

“Junior Brother Huang Long,” said Guang Chengzi with a smile. “Tell the Deputy Sect Master about this and see if he agrees.”

Just as Perfected Huang Long was about to stand up, Perfected Taiyi, who was in the corner, said leisurely, “It’s useless to ask. Why don’t we not ask and let our Deputy Sect Master work with Changgeng… I’m afraid we will have to pay for the coffin.”

The immortals chuckled.

The fearless one said, “Senior Brother Taiyi, the Deputy Sect Master position was ultimately established by Teacher. We should still respect him.” However, Perfected Taiyi seemed to be excited. He pursed his lips and rolled his eyes. His light red Daoist robe looked a little flirtatious.

“Teacher has taught us to respect others.”

Perfected Huang Long hurriedly said, “Junior Brother Taiyi, don’t say that! Of course, Junior Brother Taiyi is not talking about Deputy Sect Master Randeng. Don’t take it to heart. Don’t spread this to the Deputy Sect Master.”

Perfected Taiyi shrugged his shoulders and put on a superior expression.

Perfected Taiyi said to Li Changshou, “Junior Brother, you have to be careful when you look at people…” Bang!

That should be the sound of an extremely heavy staff falling. Golden light flashed beside him. Daoist Randeng sat on the cloud and entered from the side door of the hall. He swept his gaze across Perfected Taiyi and said calmly, “I agree.” Li Changshou smiled and bowed to Randeng. “Deputy Sect Master Randeng is righteous!” Perfected Taiyi did not mind Randeng’s gaze at all. At that moment, he even smiled and asked, “Changgeng, do you still have the position of Deputy Alliance Leader in the Immortal Union?” Li Changshou smiled and said, “The twelve Deputy Alliance Leaders are temporarily appointed. There are Senior Brother Gongming of Jie School, Senior Sister Jin Ling of Jie School, and Senior Brother Lu Yue of Jie School. They are also ranked No. 1 and No. 3. There are also the leading figures of the major factions in the Trichiliocosm and important figures of the Heavenly Courts. There are many people who can become the Deputy Alliance Leader. Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, if you want to join in the fun, feel free to ask.” The immortals of Chan School immediately had different expressions. The old Daoist priest Randeng was already frowning and silent. Daoist Ci Hang asked again, “Then, what position do you hold?”

“Special Envoy of the Heavenly Courts.” Li Changshou smiled and met Randeng’s gaze. He calmly bowed and continued, “I’m only in charge of monitoring the entire Immortal Union. I have to take care of everything. Deputy Sect Master Randeng, don’t worry. Your position is very relaxed.” Randeng nodded slowly and said, “When do we move?”

“Alliance Leader Randeng, accept this jade token.” Li Changshou took out a communication jade token and slowly pushed it to Randeng’s hand. “One month in advance, I will inform the Alliance Leader of the location.”

Randeng took the jade token and gave Li Changshou an ugly smile before turning around and flying away. Perfected Taiyi raised his eyebrows at Li Changshou. “This Heavenly Courts’ envoy is really wonderful.”

Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi looked at each other and almost laughed out loud.
