“Bian Zhuang…”
After cutting off the communication with Ao Yi, Li Changshou repeated the unfamiliar name.
He had never expected that the young Qi Refinement cultivator who had confessed to Ke Le’er at the ends of the earth… actually went to the Dragon Palace…
Originally, Ao Yi was just a young master who was caught in the “impromptu Love Tribulation”. If it were any other day, Ao Yi could have easily dismissed him with a wave of his hand.
However, the problem now was that Bian Zhuang had received an invitation to Ao Yi’s wedding
Anyone who had an invitation to attend Ao Yi’s wedding in the Dragon Palace would be a VIP of the Dragon Palace.
The current pride of the dragon race was sustained because of their ‘self-satisfaction’ and sense of superiority. Why would they make their guest leave?
Bian Zhuang was standing guard in front of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. He did not move day and night, waiting for the lover of his dreams, Ke Le’er, to appear…
Due to Bian Zhuang’s infatuation, the name ‘Ke Le’er’ was quickly known to the dragon race and Sea Clan.
As such, Ao Yi was extremely worried. He did not dare to head to the East Ocean Dragon Palace’s entrance, afraid that Bian Zhuang would recognize him.
If Jiang Si’er had not stopped him, Ao Yi would have secretly arranged for someone to knock Bian Zhuang unconscious and find a place to suppress him for more than ten years. He would wait until he was done with his wedding before deciding how to deal with him…
“Brother Sect Leader, what should we do now?”
What should he do…
What else could he do? He could only ignore it for now.
From the looks of it, Bian Zhuang was just a small fry. He could tell at a glance that it would not affect Ao Yi’s wedding.
Li Changshou comforted Ao Yi and told him not to worry too much.
There was a huge difference between Ao Yi’s female outfit.
At the same time, Li Changshou gave Ao Yi a few instructions. He reminded Ao Yi once again that during his wedding, powerful enemies might attack the dragon race. He wanted them to prepare to deal with it in advance.
In fact, if Li Changshou did not remind them, the dragon race would have taken precautions.
However, for safety’s sake, Li Changshou was not annoyed. He repeatedly reminded Ao Yi.
“Deal with Bian Zhuang later.” Li Changshou sighed softly and swept his sleeve. He officially began to arrange the “major matter” that would happen twelve years later!
Now, he was the intersection between the Heavenly Courts, the Ren School, and the dragon race.
The Western Sect was plotting against the Ao Yi’s wedding, the Ren School would act later, and the Heavenly Courts only cared about the benefits.
Li Changshou actually had many things to do. In the next eleven years and nine months, he would be unusually busy.
He went to the secret underground chamber and took a sheet of sheepskin. He began to write down what he wanted to do first…
The most important thing was to improve the individual strength of the soldiers. It would be best to complete that task as soon as possible.
Apart from that, it was also very important to form the ‘Dragon’ paper effigy army and prepare sufficient poisonous pills.
These two matters would take up most of his energy.
As the core members of the Heavenly Courts’ celebratory group, Elder Moon and General Dongmu would go to the Sea God Temple to discuss the specifics with Li Changshou once in a while.
On Ao Yi’s side, he would encounter problems of various sizes every three months.
According to Li Changshou’s instructions, Ao Yi would communicate using his spiritual will, regardless of how major the matter was.
Zhao Gongming was really enthusiastic…
During that period of time, he often went to the Sea God Temple to drink tea. Before he left, he reminded Li Changshou not to forget to ask him for help at the crucial moment.
In fact, Zhao Gongming was afraid that he would cause a huge delay by being in seclusion to comprehend the Dao. In the past twelve years, he would not return to Mount E’mei anymore. Instead, he would stroll around the few famous Immortal Islands in the sect.
The Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island would also go over to congratulate Ao Yi during his wedding. That was also a combat power that could be plotted against… Li Changshou was not the only one who was getting busy. The Western Sect had been trying to sow discord. They had arranged for some marginal dragons to visit the Sea God Sect every few days. Li Changshou was speechless. With regards to that, Li Changshou could only play along with it. He planned carefully so that the Western Sect would be at ease and have the audacity to attack the dragon race…
Apart from the important matters such as the dragon race’s entry to the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou had to pay attention to the rekindling romance of the two old immortals.
The ferocious and evil little grandmaster had stayed in the sect for a total of half a year after returning. She had met with Exalted Wang Qing sixty-two times.
The two of them met once every three days, and the content of their meeting was always the same.
They strolled, chatted, played flutes, and cracked a few lame jokes…
The scenery on the mountain was the same, but the two of them were even more curious about each other.
After half a year, the Little Grandmaster “abducted” Exalted Wang Qing out of the Immortal Du Sect, causing Li Changshou to break out in cold sweat.
Exalted Wang Qing was an important target to observe during the Golden Immortal Tribulation. That was the main motivation for Li Changshou to help them!
Fortunately, Jiang Lin’er had gone to bid farewell to her friends outside the sect. She informed them that she would stay in the Immortal Du Sect to cultivate in the future.
It was Exalted Wang Qing who suggested that he went with Jiang Lin’er, for he was afraid that Jiang Lin’er would encounter trouble…
Jiang Lin’er was a frank person. She had a clear conscience and was open and honest. Naturally, she was not afraid that Exalted Wang Qing would see her friends.
She agreed readily. The next day, she brought Exalted Wang Qing to a certain Major Chiliocosm outside the five continents…
That trip lasted for three years.
Three years later, Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Lin’er returned hand in hand. Their relationship had clearly improved.
Although it was not to the extent of holding hands in front of others, they would look at each other with affection in their eyes. One of them became a little less conservative, while the other became a little less prideful.
It is so tiring for old immortals to find a partner.
Li Changshou had originally thought that in three years, Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Lin’er would be able to return with a child…
However, it was worth rejoicing about the fact that both Exalted Wang Qing and Jiang Lin’er had regained their feelings for each other.
Jiang Lin’er did not want to drag him down since he was currently undergoing the Golden Immortal Tribulation. She would usually persuade him to cultivate and enter seclusion.
Hence, instead of visiting once every three days, Exalted Wang Qing began… visiting five times in half a month.
Seeing that the relationship between Little Grandmaster and Exalted Wang Qing was steadily improving, Li Changshou temporarily put away the little bit of effort he had put in…
He devoted all his energy to making arrangements for the dragon race!
He had been busy for nine years. Time passed quickly, leaving no traces behind.
Li Changshou’s preparations were coming to an end. The three tactical systems were already in place. The Dragon Tribulation this time was completely different from the Immortal Du Sect’s previous tribulation. This time, the major sects were plotting against each other.
It was as if Li Changshou’s body was in the vortex. If he wanted to change the situation, he could only do whatever he could and try his best to arrange, plot, and borrow power…
He knew very well that whether he could hold onto the Grand Pure One’s support would depend on whether he could make the arrangements for the dragon race.
There were less than three years to go until Ao Yi’s wedding.
Li Changshou sent a paper effigy with the appearance of a young man. He secretly entered the East Ocean Dragon Palace and became Ao Yi’s temporary advisor. He directly interfered with the dragon race’s plans.
At this stage, the Sea God Sect and the Dragon Palace still did not seem to be on good terms. Li Changshou could not appear using the paper effigy with the old immortal image. That was a secret in the dragon race as well.
That night, the Dragon King of the East Ocean summoned his two sons-Ao Jia, Ao Yi, and a few important officials of the dragon race to host a banquet for the Sea God of the South Ocean’s… paper effigy.
Even if it was just an incarnation, the Dragon Palace had placed a high importance on it.
During the evening banquet, Li Changshou’s seat was arranged to be second only to the Dragon King. It was even before the two dragons. The old dragon king sent a clear signal to Li Changshou.
The dragon race needed someone to support them.
As a response, Li Changshou also promised that after Ao Yi’s wedding, the South Ocean Sea God Sect would add thirty True Dragon Guardian positions and allow the dragon race to earn more merit.
ace
Although the gift was small, it pleased the Dragon King and the many experts of the dragon race, thus giving them more face. Following that, according to Li Changshou’s suggestion, not only did the dragon race set up a large number of troops in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, but they also arranged for the troops to guard the West, South, and North Ocean Dragon Palaces.
Of course, the elites of the dragon race would still gather at the East Ocean Dragon Palace on the day of Ao Yi’s wedding.
After coming to the Dragon Palace, Li Changshou had secretly reminded the dragon race not to commit too many sins before the wedding However, for the sake of their own rule over the four seas, the dragon race still carried out a strategy of punishing one to warn others.
Three years before Ao Yi’s wedding, the dragon race began to suppress the Sea Clan rebel army.
At that moment, blood dyed the four seas, and lives were destroyed…
Two years before Ao Yi’s wedding, Li Changshou handed over the first modified version of the Soldier-Forming Beans mystical ability and 200,000 immortal beans to General Dongmu. He asked him to arrange for the 40,000 Heavenly Soldiers to cultivate that technique.
The 200,000 immortal beans were not advanced “poisonous beans” but ordinary immortal beans that Li Changshou had nurtured.
The Immortal Bean that he summoned had the strength of an early-stage Essence Immortal.
Although the poisonous immortal bean soldiers were powerful, they were not suitable to be used by the Heavenly Courts.
When he received the storage Dharma treasure with 200,000 immortal beans, Duke Eastwood sighed. He bowed to Li Changshou and rushed back to the Heavenly Courts to report to the Jade Emperor.
Before he officially obtained the Deity Position, Li Changshou had already been worried sick for the Heavenly Courts.
How heartless.
In the past year, Li Changshou brought three thousand Immortal Poisonous Beans, which Elder Wan Linyun had created, and sixty ‘Dragon’ paper effigies to the East Ocean. They were hidden somewhere near the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
That was more than half the assets that he could take out without affecting the defense system of Little Qiong Peak.
In order to counterattack the besieging tactic, the trees meant for providing the sap supply for Man-Forming Paper Cutouts on Little Qiong Peak… became thinner.
The paper effigy disguised as an old immortal gradually became more open-minded and did not regret it. He looked haggard for the greater good! Li Changshou’s paper effigy army would definitely not be able to enter from the front.
Why would he attack forcefully if he could launch a sneak attack?
Why use mystical abilities if he could use poison?
At that time, as long as the East Ocean Dragon Palace was surrounded and attacked by powerful enemies, the battle would be at its most crucial moment. When both sides suffered enough casualties, Li Changshou’s paper effigies and Poisonous Bean Immortal Soldiers would attack the 240,000 Heavenly Court armies from both sides!
He would then invite Perfected Huang Long and Master Zhao to attack the experts of the enemy’s side from behind and resolve the crisis of the dragon race.
Li Changshou’s thoughts were as clear as ever.
By borrowing the hands of the Western Sect, I can hurt the dragon race, but I can’t defeat the dragon race. Later, I will lead the Dragon Clan to fight with the Western Sect and lure them to the Heavenly Courts.
Half a year before Ao Yi’s wedding, the battle in the four seas had calmed down. The Dragon Army returned to the four Dragon Palaces. However, the Sea Clan’s rebel army did not decrease. Instead, they became more active.
Li Changshou received a secret message from Daoist Wen Jing that the deep-sea demons were preparing to attack. Soon after, a large number of demons and members of the Sea Clan gathered in the trichiliocosm were lurking outside the five continents of the Primordial World.
In order to defeat the dragon race, the Western Sect had used two trump cards that they had stored for many years.
To the Western Sect, those were only two trump cards that were neither light nor heavy. Even if they were destroyed, the impact would not be too great.
Li Changshou had also started to make some tactical adjustments. By affecting the decisions of the dragon race, he tried his best to reduce the pressure of the dragon race during the battle.
Due to Li Changshou’s constant efforts in the past few years to help the dragon race, the upper echelons of the dragon race were very grateful to the Sea God of the South Ocean. Ao Yi was even more reliant on him.
They had planned to give the Sea God a huge gift during Ao Yi’s wedding.
He wanted to let the guests of the Three Realms know… that the Sea God of the South Ocean and the dragon race were true brothers whose blood was thicker than water!
In the next half a year, the four seas completely quietened down. The East Ocean Dragon Palace was decorated with lanterns and banners. Waves after waves of guests came from the four seas, the five continents, and the trichiliocosm.
The huge East Ocean Dragon Palace became extremely crowded.
The wealth of the dragon race was evident at this moment.
In the first three months of the wedding, the Dragon Palace banquet did not stop. All the guests with invitations could receive a numinous treasure as a return gift.
Li Changshou was speechless for a few months.
Even though there were secret plots everywhere outside, that place was filled with drunkenness.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two more days to go before Ao Yi’s wedding…
After Li Changshou completed the last inspection, his mind shifted between the team leaders and the paper effigies. He analyzed the various situations and finally felt relieved.
This time, Ao Yi had to be disappointed.
Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, did not go to the East Ocean to attend Ao Yi’s wedding. Only the Sea God of the South Ocean attended…
That was regret in Ao Yi’s heart.
However, Ao Yi also knew that his Sect Master had already done too much for his wedding…
“That’s all. I’ve finally made the arrangements. I’ve done everything I can.”
Li Changshou stretched his back. There was a hint of exhaustion in his eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
After he was done with that matter, he would relax and rest for a few days. It was only right for him to strike a balance between work and rest. His mind was always tense, and it would be easy for him to gain perception.
The battle in the East Ocean Dragon Palace would definitely not be small. His main body was not even in the Golden Immortal realm. He could not help much in the past.
In comparison, he had to sit at the back and fully control the battle. Only then would he be able to unleash a stronger effect…
Huh?
Someone had stirred up the Great Pure Dao, allowing his Dao heart to gain enlightenment.
“There is an impending calamity during the dragon race’s wedding. I’m waiting for you thirty thousand kilometers east of the Immortal Du Sect.”
Li Changshou’s lips twitched.
The Great Daoist Master… has the Tushita Palace just got connected?
