“You and Sovereign Xuandu have developed some good karma;

At least, with Sovereign Xuandu, he knows your name, which might be your opportunity in the future.”

Wuyou Daoren spoke gently, his eyes showing a hint of longing.

Hearing the Sect Master’s words, Li Changshou secretly breathed a sigh of relief…

So he was talking about the matchmaking clay figures and that Six Transformations Virility Spirit Pill.

Li Changshou maintained his composure, only lowering his head in acknowledgment.

Sovereign Xuandu not only knew his name Li Changshou, but had also pushed a major matter onto his shoulders, and then…

Had never sent any news afterward…

Wuyou Daoren continued sighing repeatedly:

“Changshou ah, the Great Sovereign is truly a peerless expert of unmatched grace.

Though I am Du Xian Gate’s Sect Master, with the fruit of longevity and cultivation that minor calamities cannot destroy, compared to such an expert, I’m inferior by thousands or tens of thousands of times.

Golden Immortal realm is merely this, cough, cough cough!”

Li Changshou asked with concern: “Sect Master, has your injury still not healed?”

“It’s nothing, just a minor injury that will heal itself in a few hundred years,” Wuyou Daoren waved his hand, “Cultivate here, I’ll go walk around and look about.

Sigh, I don’t know what’s going on, after so many years, the Human Path’s several lineages still can’t stop this trend of Dao companions within the sect.”

Li Changshou: …

So you’ve never suspected anything strange about this matter?

Watching the Sect Master’s departing figure, Li Changshou pondered for a while.

If the Sage Lord wanted him to find a way to prevent conflict between the other two schools, his own Sect Master would be a good law… spokesperson!

Jiu Wu and Jiu Yu were also on this treasure ship, but the various officials and accompanying True Immortals needed to guard and observe various places on the ship and hadn’t come to meet with Li Changshou.

Besides Martial Uncle Jiu Wu, there was also Elixir Cauldron Peak Official Liu Feixian…

If later they needed the Sect Master to speak up, Li Changshou would naturally give Martial Uncle Jiu Wu a hint, letting him handle Liu Feixian, then have Liu Feixian go advise the Sect Master.

With this kind of chain, as long as each layer could be ensured not to have problems, the more layers there were, the safer Li Changshou would be at the root.

If not doing it this way, did they expect him to stand out and convince people with reason?

At grand gatherings of this scale, even ordinary Celestial Immortals had no chance to speak.

When the two schools started arguing, an unknown junior disciple forcefully stood up and launched into a speech at two groups of Three Schools’ bigshots who had been hanging around the Three Realms since ancient times…

That would be an absurd act only possible after eating several bear hearts and the protagonist’s guts!

Probably before finishing a complete sentence, some hot-tempered Three Schools expert would slap down, killing him and then grumbling:

‘Whose junior disciple is this, so unruly!’

Therefore, directly showing his face was impossible;

Actively stepping into the eye of the storm was even more impossible.

Li Changshou could only promise that if the two schools’ experts started fighting, before running away he would warn the Human Path lineage and mentally shout that man’s name loudly.

…

After this treasure ship entered the Middle Continent’s borders, it intentionally flew a bit higher, displaying Du Xian Gate’s insignia at the bow, and the Sect Master also released his Golden Immortal realm aura.

Even so, when encountering mountains and lakes covered by grand formations, Du Xian Gate’s ship would detour in advance.

Du Xian Gate had some fame in East Victory Continent, but in the tiger-crouched dragon-coiled Middle Continent, it was just a medium-meaning immortal sect, ranking in the lower middle… of the lower middle among the Three Schools’ immortal sects.

It just had slightly strong backing, with the shadow of the Human Path’s Senior Brother.

The treasure ship traveled continuously westward along cloud paths, and Li Changshou, visiting the Middle Continent for the first time, broadened his horizons.

Piercing clouds past the horizon, accompanied by stars and moon.

Vast waters rippling smoke waves, rivers surging by thousand streams.

Worth mentioning…

The Sect Master voluntarily giving up his suite that day for two young disciples to handle urgent matters became a charming tale privately spread among the Du Xian Gate group.

Fortunately, there were no other amusing incidents that day and the ship had no obvious shaking;

After Wang Qi resolved the medicine’s effects, he and Liu Yan’er found a corner to hide in, too embarrassed to face anyone.

After flying for twenty-one days, Du Xian Gate’s ship finally entered within thirty thousand li of Gold Palace Gate, and the high-altitude cloud paths gradually became bustling, with many strange things appearing…

Giant flying birds with thousand-zhang wingspans slowly glide through high altitudes;

Also, mountains uprooted to use as treasure ships, their bodies wrapped in streams of immortal light, constantly breaking through white clouds…

When Li Changshou saw this scene, he also secretly observed it for a while.

This was the completed first stage of his Small Jade Peak wandering plan!

When still eight thousand li from the Three Schools Origin Flow Conference ‘venue’, human figures could be seen on the cloud paths above, below, left, and right.

Though the conference wouldn’t begin for half a year, many immortal sects had chosen to arrive half a year early to show their respect for the Three Schools Origin Flow Conference.

When Du Xian Gate’s ship was only a thousand li from the venue, as expected…

They hit cloud traffic again.

Li Changshou’s immortal consciousness scanned the conference venue.

It was a regularly shaped circular basin, seemingly blasted out by divine abilities;

At the basin’s bottom was a spirit-light-overflowing lake, with golden lotus platforms floating on the water’s surface.

Meditation cushions were distributed around the lake, and looking out, the overall layout of these cushions was like a blooming lotus flower…

This conference limited the number of people each immortal sect could bring, with no more than a hundred per sect; thus Du Xian Gate’s group totaled ninety-nine people.

This Three Schools Origin Flow Conference was jointly hosted by five lineages, including twoSevering School lineages, two Enlightenment School lineages, and one Human Path lineage.

Though the Human Path only had six immortal sects total, the seating area arranged for the six Human Path sects occupied one-sixth of the total venue area.

Thus, even Du Xian Gate with its weak strength could have a good viewing spot, very close to that spirit lake.

When Du Xian Gate’s ship flew to several hundred li from the venue, over ten figures rode clouds forward to welcome them.

Those coming to welcome were naturally from the Human Path lineage, also one of this conference’s five main hosting sects, named simply Xiaoyao.

This sect’s name was casual, artistic, and ordinary, but this lineage was indeed extraordinary.

Just among those responsible for welcoming guests here, there were two Golden Immortals, eight Celestial Immortals, and six young disciples with excellent aptitude who hadn’t yet become immortals…

This made the Du Xian Gate group feel somewhat pressured.

However, Li Changshou soon discovered that this Xiaoyao Immortal Sect was similar to their Du Xian Gate in certain aspects…

Even more serious in fact.

Among the six disciples here, four had lost their innate yin-yang essence.

Li Changshou couldn’t see through the Celestial Immortals’ origins, but from the pairing of four male and four female Celestial Immortals, and their intimacy when riding clouds, there were at least two immortal couples…

True Human Path characteristics!

This showed how hard the Great Sovereign had worked for the Human Path’s development… making Human Path disciples rack their brains.

As the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect group approached, the first two middle-aged Golden Immortals wearing Daoist robes began laughing loudly, their voices carrying hundreds of li, as if afraid others couldn’t hear.

The other four jointly hosting sects had already received countless waves of fellow school members; while their Xiaoyao Immortal Sect only had five total chances to appear.

According to primordial world old customs, the longer one laughed the more it showed intimacy and lack of hostility…

“Hahaha!”

“Hahaha, cough cough, ah hahaha!”

“Junior Brother Wuyou, haven’t seen you in six thousand years, how have you been? Hahaha!”

“Thanks to Senior Brother’s blessing, all is well, hahaha…”

The various elders also went forward to meet them, all smiling and finding people to chat with except Master Wangqing.

And those six Xiaoyao Immortal Sect disciples also warmly came forward, seeking to interact with Du Xian Gate’s disciples.

Whether this conference could make the Three Schools one family was still unknown;

But they were all of the Human Path lineage, and if they could cultivate to Golden Immortal in the future, they would all address each other as senior and junior brothers and sisters, so they couldn’t appear too unfamiliar with each other.

As the true leader, You Qin Xuanya slightly furrowed her brows and walked to the front of the disciples with her great sword on her back, instantly adding several degrees of radiance to this patch of sky.

As the number-padding leader, Li Changshou smiled and hid among the disciples, watching his group of disciples actively go forward to chat with those six young Xiaoyao Immortal Sect disciples, happy that no one paid attention to him.

Soon, Du Xian Gate’s elders put away the treasure ship and all ninety-nine people followed Xiaoyao Immortal Sect’s welcoming immortals, riding clouds into the basin venue.

They were indeed arranged in a forward position, exclusively occupying a small area by the lake.

Unlike that Dragon Palace gathering, this time Golden Immortals, Celestial Immortals, True Immortals, and those not yet immortals all sat together;

All immortal sects were treated the same, with no one able to get special treatment.

The golden lotus treasure seats floating on the lake surface were reserved for those immortals from Kunlun Mountain’s Jade Void Palace and the offshoreSevering School’s various immortal islands.

Li Changshou roughly calculated the number of golden lotus treasure seats;

Estimated that just the immortals coming later from several of the Severing Sect places would overcrowd the lake surface…

Just as Du Xian Gate’s group had taken their seats, Du Xian Gate’s Sect Master went to chat with several Golden Immortal friends in the clouds.

The various elders also didn’t constrain the disciples too much, striving to embody their Human Path’s superficial characteristic of ‘pure tranquility and non-action’.

However, You Qin Xuanya was truly eye-catching.

Soon, a scholarly-looking young immortal seedling wearing white robes walked over from the neighboring Xiaoyao Immortal Sect’s area with flowing steps.

This person arrived before You Qin Xuanya and revealed a gentle smile, emanating extraordinary male charm.

“This Junior Sister, I am Cao Zhi of Xiaoyao Immortal Sect’s Sect Master’s lineage…”

Clang!

The great sword on You Qin Xuanya’s back suddenly unsheathed, her delicate hand moving it in a flowing circle, stabbing straight into the ground before him!

The blade was only half an inch from his toes!

“Pardon me, farewell, Junior Sister please don’t mind.”

This person tactfully said, hurriedly retreating, drawing continuous laughter from several Xiaoyao Immortal Sect disciples.

You Qin Xuanya acted as if nothing had happened, quietly sitting cross-legged and closing her eyes to rest.

The corner seat in Du Xian Gate’s group naturally belonged to Li Changshou, with short Daoist Jiu Wu’s position beside him, though Jiu Wu had gone to run errands and hadn’t returned yet.

As soon as entering this basin, Li Changshou had already used immortal consciousness to probe this place’s exits and formulated retreat routes;

There was a Reverse Five Elements Grand Formation underground, making Five Elements escape techniques unusable.

He relaxed his spirit and began using the Wind Speaking Curse to monitor his surroundings;

But this time, as soon as the Wind Speaking Curse was activated, Li Changshou heard a buzzing in his ears and his primordial spirit felt slightly dizzy.

There were even such anti-spying restrictions?

The vast primordial world truly couldn’t underestimate various experts…

This was the first time the Wind Speaking Curse hadn’t worked since transcending tribulation to immortality.

Li Changshou secretly frowned, closed his eyes to meditate, and his primordial spirit’s anomaly instantly cleared.

Did they think he only had the Wind Speaking Curse as a passive monitoring method?

Correct!

He only had this one passive monitoring method…

Though he had various active probing methods, passively monitoring various places was not an easy matter.

As Li Changshou pondered countermeasures, his immortal consciousness also spread throughout the basin, discovering a group of people passing not far behind him, seemingly Xiaoyao Immortal Sect people.

Among them one fellow was most eye-catching, with a very robust physique, probably following the path of physical cultivation…

Hmm?

Why did this aura feel somewhat familiar?

Just then, that ‘fellow’ also stopped behind Li Changshou, the robust body leaning toward Li Changshou’s direction, the cute face full of confusion, staring carefully at Li Changshou’s profile for a while.

This aura, this iron tower-like physique, and this cute face…

Li Changshou’s Dao heart trembled as he suddenly had a jolt, already recognizing who this was!

Almost simultaneously, this iron tower maiden’s eyes lit up, her pot-sized fist placed before her forcefully widened cherry-like small mouth, her big eyes full of bright light as she exclaimed in surprise:

“Sea!”

“Lingli!”

Li Changshou suddenly shouted lowly, directly cutting off her call!

In an instant, his left hand reached forward with lightning speed, pressing down on this iron tower maiden’s neck, directly pushing her face-down onto the grass before him!
