Chapter 627: The Return of the Three Xuanyuan Demons in the Huaguo Mountain

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At that time, the Venerable One was drunk, and his heart was on fire. He was in a daze. Kong Xuan of the phoenix race entered from the side door. She was dressed in a colorful robe, had exquisite makeup, and was not like an immortal. She hugged the Venerable One from behind.

The Daoist Master’s mind was clear. As her fellow Daoist, he thought about his own abnormality and wanted to temporarily avoid it. Therefore, he said, “Fellow Daoist, you came at the wrong time.”

Kong Xuan’s red lips moved as she spoke softly.

I’m here at the right time.

She used gentle words to persuade him and used her slender hands to move the clouds. With endless gentleness, she finally caused the Dao heart of the Daoist Master to burn fiercely and his Dao heart to be in chaos. She made a vow to stay by each other for three lifetimes and told the story of immortals and gods hugging each other.

It was the beginning of the spirit.

The Daoist Master had once been filled with Dao and turned into a god. He was close to the Dao and had merged with it. Therefore, the Grand Pure One had deliberately made him have a human heart. That was how the situation had turned out.

After the matter was over, Kong Xuan draped her thin shirt over and stood up. Her posture was beautiful and indescribable.

“Since you are my husband, you should take Kong as your surname.”

The Daoist Master sobbed and hugged the blanket. He sighed and used his immortal power to guide it so that it could not escape. He did not leave the warm pavilion for three nights.

At that time, in the Hall of the Heavenly Courts’ Lord Taibai Jinxing, Li Changshou was uneasy. He thought about the matter of the scheme this time. He was afraid that the Venerable One would return the favor.

Teacher, please calculate the situation.

“Ahahaha!”

The Great Daoist Master had been scheming against the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Ren School all day long. In the end, he had been tricked by the disciples of the Immortal Sect of Ren School and finally became Dao companions with Kong Xuan. Hahahaha!”

In the corner of the Grand White Hall, Quan Dong had two skewers of spiritual beast meat in his left hand and a pot of jade wine in his right. He drank leisurely and smiled happily.

When the Heavenly Courts were weak, it was the Grand Supreme Elder and the Great Daoist Master who guarded the Heavenly Courts. Although the Great Daoist Master did not have a Deity Position, he was rather prestigious among the old officials of the Heavenly Courts. The Jade Emperor was also very grateful to him.

Quan Dong was naturally happy to see the Great Daoist Master return with a beauty. However…

“Kong Xuan seems to be in the Tribulation.”

Quan Dong frowned. He bit his meat skewer and pinched his fingers to deduce for a while. He realized that things were not simple. “Does Senior Brother Taiqing have any instructions?”

Li Changshou groaned softly…

Now, the heavenly secrets have been blinded by the calamity. The method of deduction is useless. Jade Emperor, can you restrain yourself and respect the rules of the game of the Great Tribulation? You can directly deduce the contents of the Great Tribulation in person and even discover that Kong Xuan might want to fight with the Western Sect.

How… powerful!

“Teacher should have made arrangements.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “According to my deduction, Kong Xuan entered the calamity because he listened to my suggestion back then to protect the Shang Nation. He used the Mystic Bird as the destiny of the Shang Nation and used it to revive the destiny of the phoenix race. Therefore, the phoenix race owes the human race some karma. However, the karma is not huge. It will not threaten me. With Senior Brother protecting me and Teacher supporting me, I should be able to easily survive the calamity.”

“That’s right.” Quan Dong smiled and said, “Why don’t you talk about yourself?”

“When the time comes, I will definitely try my best to save myself and guard the God-Conferment test for the Heavenly Courts.”

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation smiled and squinted. He continued to talk about Kong Xuan and the Great Daoist Master.

As they chatted, Li Changshou thought of Daoist Wen Jing.

Since Kong Xuan had already succeeded, the resistance on Wen Jing’s side naturally increased. However, it was not easy for Wen Jing to kiss her senior brother’s face.

The Primordial Beast’s background became the greatest obstacle.

He suddenly felt that the matters of the Primordial World, after scheming and plotting, were like a soap drama.

Quan Dong smiled and said, “Why is Changgeng in a daze?”

“I’m thinking about how Senior Brother will teach me a lesson later.” Li Changshou put on a bitter face. “I set him up and made him drink. I even used such a disgraceful method… I guess I can take it.”

“Speaking of which, why is your wine so magical? Is it really just that jar?”

“This.” Li Changshou smiled calmly. He took out a potted plant with all its leaves removed from his sleeve and placed it in front of Quan Dong. “Your Majesty, please forgive me. I used the leaves of the Spirit Root Acacia Tree that you gave me to brew wine.”

“Well…”

Quan Dong could not help but not know whether to laugh or cry. “A wine brewed with the Acacia Tree? No wonder the Great Daoist Master could not withstand it. This is too… powerful. I’m convinced.”

After saying that, Quan Dong asked softly, “Is there anything else?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Are you here for this wine?

Hence, Li Changshou took out a small jar of the same wine from his sleeve and instructed seriously, “Your Majesty, this wine can only be drunk by mighty figures. You can drink a cup at a time.”

“Hey, I’m the mighty Heavenly Emperor. Why would I drink such wine?”

Quan Dong was full of righteousness. He waved his hand and took the wine jar away. He put it in his arms and said seriously, “I’m worried that this item will spread in the Heavenly Courts and cannot be dealt with. Therefore, I studied it in advance to prevent myself from being flustered.”

Li Changshou cupped his hands seriously. “Your Majesty, you have worked hard.”

“Ah, it’s a small matter.”

Then, the emperor and his ministers looked at each other and laughed. They began to talk about the battle for the power of the trichiliocosm again. Only when the conversation was over did Quan Dong bid farewell and leave.

Li Changshou put away the leaves of the Acacia Tree and returned to the Little Qiong Peak. He lay on the rocking chair for a while and fanned himself with the fan. There was a look of contemplation in his eyes. He was contemplating.

He was not really worried that the Great Daoist Master would punish him. He had already let the matter go.

There were many important matters in the world waiting for him to deal with.

He could clearly sense that the will of the Great Tribulation had begun to sharpen its blade. The tribulation luck in the world had begun to surge.

What he had comprehended through the Primordial Violet Qi… was similar to what he had guessed previously. The Heavenly Dao was a little strange. To be precise, it was an obsession that was almost obsessed with the stability of the world.

He did not know when the remnant will of the Pangu God that his Grandmaster had mentioned would suddenly appear.

Should I kill this will or choose another method to deal with it?

Li Changshou could not make up his mind about that. It was an anomaly outside of a series of plans.

The effects and the consequences were unpredictable. Li Changshou had to be prepared to adapt to the situation.

The words “adapt to changes” were another taboo.

It was really troublesome.

Li Changshou looked at Ling’e, who was meditating quietly in the secret chamber. He looked at the golden lotus flowers that slowly floated out of Ling’e’s body and finally felt better.

This girl would be able to transcend the Golden Immortal Tribulation soon. In the end, she is still ahead of Youqin Xuanya.

When she transcends the tribulation later, I shall invite more guests to attend the ceremony and celebrate with her.

He closed his eyes, pondered, and returned his mind to the world of paper.

Li Changshou patrolled the world and rode a middle-aged paper effigy towards the immortal mountain on the East Ocean.

Assuming that when he went to the Goddess’s Palace previously, the Goddess’s words were half-truths, she was intentionally probing, and also deliberately covering for him, he still had to go to Huaguo Mountain to take a look.

In his thousand-year plan, the stone monkey had a lot of scenes. He had to approach and feel it in advance so that he could be at ease.

…

It was unknown if it was meticulously planned by the Heavenly Dao or if Goddess Nuwa had done it on purpose. The immortal mountain that had just appeared in the East Ocean had been occupied by the demons.

It had even become the “base camp” of the demons of the East Continent.

The last time Li Changshou saw it from afar, the human immortal sects were still fighting over it. The final winner was the demons.

Due to the influence of the Great Tribulation, the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools of the Middle Continent were in conflict and involved sects of all sizes in a bloody battle. The sects of the East Continent were also implicated.

As a result, the demons, who should have been weaker in the East Continent, became confident and stabilized their territory.

Those demons were the “good” demons that Li Changshou had split up when he was cleaning up the demons in the North Continent in order to reduce the pressure of the Heavenly Courts. They were mainly demons from the Qingqiu Clan, the Ci Tie Clan, and the other neutral demons who did not provoke the human race.

Li Changshou looked from afar. Demonic aura surrounded the Huaguo Mountain, but most of the demonic aura was pure and righteous. There were few negative karma.

The experts of the demon race had basically been swept clean. Li Changshou’s paper effigy secretly sneaked into that place and walked between the various demon king Cave Abodes. He observed in detail for a while.

He hid evil within a small area, but he was not evil.

It was difficult for the demons to succeed.

The scenery of the Huaguo Mountain was pleasant. There were mountain springs, clear streams, and flying stone waterfalls. Apart from the main peak, there were more than ten mountain peaks that rose and fell.

Li Changshou scanned with his immortal senses. For the first time, he did not find any traces of the Heaven Mending Stone. He carefully sensed it and discovered a natural array at the back mountain of the main peak. He sensed the Dao runes of Goddess Nuwa.

No wonder the demons treated this place as a Holy Land. It was also because of this Dao rune.

He calmly walked into the array formation and did not spend much effort. At the edge of a cliff beside a mountain stream, he discovered the Heaven Nourishing Spirit Stone that was emitting seven-colored light.

That was the monkey’s previous self.

The Spirit Stone was ten feet tall and half of it had fallen into the cliff wall. It was like an oval chicken. A weak spiritual will was nurturing it, but it only had the most superficial fluctuations.

What a pure True Spirit Life Transformation.

Li Changshou raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that the stone monkey was most likely the reincarnation of some mighty figure. He did not expect it to be an original living being, a spirit born from the stone.

Li Changshou slowly walked forward. With every step he took, an image appeared in his heart.

Those images came from his imagination and also from the images he had seen in his hometown in his previous life.

The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.

Li Changshou smiled faintly and subconsciously raised his left hand to touch the edge of the Spirit Stone.

At that moment, a gray shadow appeared in front of the stone monkey and condensed into an old Daoist priest’s blurry figure. He looked at Li Changshou coldly.

Li Changshou snapped out of his daze and hurriedly retracted his palm. The paper effigy bowed to the old Daoist priest and smiled.

“Master Heavenly Dao, please don’t blame me. I’m happy to see you. I don’t dare to have any ulterior motives.”

The old Daoist priest nodded slowly. His figure dissipated with the wind. There was no Dao rune left, and he did not say anything.

However, his meaning was obvious…

Li Changshou could not touch it.

The Heavenly Dao is really strict.

Li Changshou looked at the stone monkey again and turned around to leave.

There was no choice. The Heavenly Dao was already guarding against him like he was a thief.

After leaving the natural array formation, Li Changshou did not have the intention to leave. Instead, he took out a jade token and began to record the various demon factions and demon kings.

He would make a backup plan for the Heavenly Courts to prevent the demons from causing trouble during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

When Li Changshou strolled in the mountains until the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, he was about to leave when his ears suddenly swayed. The Wind Speech Incantation, which had been maintained passively, brought about an interesting conversation…

“Lan, are you really going to leave? The Patriarch has already advised you like this. Why won’t you listen?”

“I really can’t stay here, be it this place or the land of my race. The Lord was right that day. If I went to plead for mercy for the demons, I would not end up well. Be it the demons who survived the Great Tribulation of the North Continent or the demons like us who were lucky enough to not be pursued by the Heavenly Courts, they would treat me as a thorn in their flesh. Why? I’m already too tired. Everyone in the clan has said that. My heart is cold.”

Li Changshou followed the voice and soon saw the figures of two female demons halfway up the mountain of Huaguo Mountain.

It was Lan and another woman from the Qingqiu Clan who had a rather plump figure.

Lan is leaving?

Li Changshou raised his eyebrows and thought of something. The paper effigy burrowed underground. AfterLan bade farewell to the fox demon, he secretly followed her for a while.

The vixen, Lan, left the Saint Demon Immortal Mountain of the East Ocean and rode a cloud towards the border between the South Continent and the East Continent.

Although the Primordial World was huge, there were not many places that could accommodate the demons. The border between the South Continent and the East Continent was not a bad place.

Lan was clearly in a low mood. She did not fly very fast on the cloud. From time to time, she would be in a daze.

After flying for five to six thousand kilometers, she suddenly stopped. There was a short sword in her right hand and two rings in her left. Her long hair kept dancing behind her, and her eyes were filled with vigilance.

“Who’s there!?!”

The vixen shouted softly, her eyes filled with anger. “I have already left the Holy Mountain. Do you still want to pester me?”

Suddenly, a strange laughter sounded in the night sky. A few balls of green flames flickered under the starry sky. Seven or eight black shadows had already surrounded the vixen, Lan.

Without a word, they displayed their abilities and threw Dharma treasures. More than ten streams of light smashed at the vixen, but they did not hold back.

“You!”

Lan shouted softly and soared into the sky. She tried her best to avoid most of the streams of light. She turned around and scattered pink petals. Her short sword knocked away a silver shuttle that was smashing over.

He could tell that although Lan had already entered the Golden Immortal realm in the Dao Realm, she rarely had the experience of fighting. At that moment, she instinctively reacted calmly, but she was a little flustered.

The ones who attacked her were not mighty figures. However, there were two Golden Immortal realm demon immortals and a few late-stage Heaven Immortal realm demon immortals.

Li Changshou saw that…

He was not prepared to attack.

This matter had nothing to do with him. He was just looking around casually. His karma with Lan had been severed when she pleaded for mercy for some demons.

The battle was quite intense.

On the Little Qiong Peak, Li Changshou summoned a pot of tea. He waved the fan in his hand and occasionally took a sip of the teapot. He was happy and relaxed.

He was not just watching the show. He was also thinking about studying the way the Heavenly Dao attacked and doing a small research.

After dozens of rounds of battle, the vixen Lan’s shoulder and waist were injured, but the other party did not suffer any damage.

At that moment, perhaps on purpose, the demon experts surrounding Lan revealed a few flaws, but Lan missed them perfectly.

Her eyes were red as she shouted, “I don’t owe the demons anything. Why won’t you let me off!?!”

“Hmph!”

An old voice cursed, “Traitor who is secretly helping others and groveling! Today, I will eradicate the rebels for the demons!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

How ironic.

Those demon immortals had clearly survived the Heavenly Courts’ subsequent purge because of Lan’s plea. However, they pointed their butcher knives at Lan.

Why was that so?

When Lan pleaded with him, she had already left her original ‘group’. Those demons who did not dare to face the Heavenly Courts were proud of killing the vixen, Lan.

His twisted Dao heart.

Li Changshou observed quietly. The paper effigy took out another jade token and began to record.

The “battle” gradually escalated. The vixen, Lan, was getting more and more injured. However, the other party could not really injure her.

As they fought, Lan found a gap and escaped from the other party’s encirclement. She fled towards the southwest.

The demon experts chased from behind. They were all anxious and did not seem to be acting.

Li Changshou’s paper effigy followed closely underground. He watched as Lan rushed into the border of the South Continent and rushed through the Heavenly Courts’ Heavenly Punishment Barrier.

The Heavenly Thunder did not react.

However, when the demons chasing from behind rushed to the border of the South Continent, the night sky was suddenly illuminated by lightning dragons. Hundreds of lightning bolts smashed down and turned a few demon immortals into ashes.

However, Lan did not dare to stop. She flew quickly with her injuries.

Finally, when Lan could not hold on any longer, she fell outside a small city in the northeast of the South Continent and smashed into a hill, alarming the few demons hiding inside.

Li Changshou’s paper effigy observed secretly and sighed.

The arrangements of the Heavenly Dao are so precise and respect the story that ‘should happen’.

Then, who decided that such a story had to happen?

On the hill, two young girls quietly arrived beside the vixen. They discussed for a while and brought the vixen back to the Cave Abode to treat her injuries.

Of the two girls, one was formed from the essence of a pheasant, while the other was made from a jade lute. The lute seemed to be an item that had been buried in the tomb. It had a cold aura.

Apart from them, there were a few lesser demons in the Cave Abode whose strength could barely transform.

Li Changshou waited quietly for a while. Lan woke up from her coma and was stunned for a while. Then, she stood up and thanked the demons.

The Jade Lute asked, “Senior, who are you? Where did you come from and where are you going?”

“I…”

Lan pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. “I don’t have a name anymore. I don’t have a background or background. I don’t know where I should go in the future.”

The two demon girls already knew that Lan was “extraordinary” and wanted to find a backer in the South Continent, where there were few demons. They immediately asked Lan to stay and cultivate with them.

Lan did not insist and stayed there.

Li Changshou searched around the hill where the demons were hiding. Soon, he found a stone tablet. He stood in front of the stone tablet and pondered for a while. The paper effigy entered the ground and disappeared.

In the Cave Abode, the demons were happy. Amidst the clear pipa sound, the pheasant spirit danced.

Outside the Cave Abode, starlight scattered. Layers of fog rose in the place. Mortals subconsciously avoided that place.

There were two ancient human words on the stone tablet. He could barely recognize them as the meaning of Xuanyuan.

In the tomb of Xuanyuan.

“Nine-tailed Demon Fox, Nine-Headed Chicken Spirit, Jade Lute…”

Li Changshou muttered to himself for a while. A bold idea surfaced in his heart, but he dropped it immediately.

He could not touch the pawn of the Heavenly Dao.
