“Senior, later you can do this and that…”

In the rock cave, Li Changshou carefully instructed a series of details for Elder Zhao Gongming’s performance.

Yellow Dragon True Person listened in confusion beside them. Despite his vast experience, he still couldn’t imagine the beautiful scene the two were describing.

But this time, Zhao Gongming showed a troubled expression…

“Last time helping Senior Brother Yellow Dragon was in desperation, with no other options,” Zhao Gongming stroked his beard with furrowed brows, “Brother Sea God, you’re right here, surely other strategies wouldn’t be difficult.

If my Second Sister learns of this…”

“Senior Gongming!”

Li Changshou’s immortal-skinned paper avatar immediately stepped forward half a step, gaze earnest, saying firmly: “Junior has carefully considered – using divine powers to obstruct truly isn’t as good as this false formation.

This time, this method must be used!”

“Going to bump into six or seven of them myself, this has never happened before,” Zhao Gongming looked toward Yellow Dragon True Person beside him, who wore a confused expression but maintained a slight smile.

Yellow Dragon True Person hurriedly said: “If there’s anything I can help with, Junior Brother and Friend can speak freely.”

But Li Changshou said: “True Person has another important matter, Junior will explain shortly.

Senior Zhao, today truly requires your action – who else has your level of power?

Even if Senior Yunxiao came and used the Primordial Golden Dipper to capture them, it wouldn’t be as effective as you making a trip there today to delay them for an hour or two.”

“Ah, why trouble my Second Sister?”

Zhao Gongming raised his head and chest, hands behind his back as he sighed, smiling: “I originally didn’t want to return to old ways, but since Brother Sea God requests so earnestly, I’ll reluctantly go bump into them!”

“Senior is mighty!”

“Small matter,” Zhao Gongming laughed twice, his eyes growing brighter under thick brows.

At once, Li Changshou brought out the latest version of the accident-staging kit:

Self-developed treasure that could simultaneously record images — Dual Birth Image Recording Sphere, extended and enhanced version of Great Dao Oath template, Blood Return Sphere for timely recovery of sprayed blood…

And so on.

Li Changshou also reminded Elder Zhao of several details, such as today insisting on ‘going to Biyou Palace’ to reason.

The opponent had schemed against the Dragon Clan first, causing devastation to South and East Sea beings – if exposed this would embarrass Western Teaching’s Sages, and these six Western Teaching disciples wouldn’t dare confront at Biyou Palace.

But absolutely couldn’t say ‘going to Spirit Mountain’.

Today was different from before – with the opponent investing so much, they wouldn’t give up, enough to request the Sages secretly scheme and directly have Elder Zhao eliminated!

At once, Zhao Gongming wasted no time, readying treasures and divine powers, heading directly on clouds toward where those six Western Sage disciples were hiding as Li Changshou had said;

Later, he would pretend to discover them by chance, then bring out the Ocean Stabilizing Zhenzhu to play a small joke on them.

Li Changshou worried Senior Zhao Gongming couldn’t handle those six experts, so also asked the Great Master to watch this side, helping if necessary.

If Zhao Gongming truly fell into danger, then ask the Great Master to appear and ask…

[My my, Junior Brother Zhao, what happened to you?]

Mm… the interjection could be omitted.

‘Wonder how the Dragon Clan would feel if they knew their dangerous situation today was resolved by a Severing Sect outer disciple’s “fall”.’

Li Changshou inwardly chuckled twice, turning to look at the somewhat uneasy Yellow Dragon True Person.

Before Li Changshou could speak, Yellow Dragon True Person bit his teeth and stomped his foot, frowning as he asked:

“Though acting this way would earn Master’s scolding, today for the Dragon Clan, this poor Daoist can’t care too much.

Friend Sea God, where should I fall?”

Li Changshou: …

“Don’t worry, you have a battle to fight.

A powerful enemy has gone to the East Sea Eye, I worry the Dragon Clan elder guarding the Sea Eye isn’t a match for that fierce beast…”

“What!”

Yellow Dragon True Person’s expression changed, turning without another word to rush out of the cave, hurriedly and angrily charging toward the East Sea depths.

Having arranged the two allies, Li Changshou casually made a hand seal, as True Samadhi Fire surged from inside out of this immortal-skinned paper avatar, burning it clean in an instant, leaving only some floating ashes.

This was just a paper avatar for transmitting messages, with only slight immortal power remaining;

Recovery was risky, self-scattering was safest.

Li Changshou had also withdrawn this portion of consciousness back, explaining to Great Master Xuandu in detail about Zhao Gongming’s accident-staging matter.

The Great Master immediately became interested, using divine powers to closely watch Zhao Gongming, ready to aid at any time.

When the Great Master wanted to ask how Li Changshou came up with this accident-staging method, he found Li Changshou had already closed his eyes, in a state of intense concentration…

‘This little disciple truly works hard in body and mind.’

Great Master Xuandu inwardly sighed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He took out a small jade bottle from his chest, placing it beside Li Changshou;

Li Changshou immediately became alert, opening his eyes to look over.

“Great Master…”

“Nothing, just some pills for dealing with the Golden Immortal tribulation, put them away.”

Li Changshou immediately stood to make a Daoist salute, not opening the jade bottle, respectfully putting it away.

The Great Master nodded with a smile, his gaze flowing, but didn’t say more.

‘Gave both Nine Turns Golden Pills begged from Lord Lao, if you still can’t overcome the Golden Immortal tribulation, that would be… too calculating and earning Heaven’s jealousy.’

Li Changshou sat again, closing his eyes in concentration, as scene after scene floated in his mind.

…

With the increasingly heated battle in the South Sea, the situation beginning to lose balance.

Because dozens of Western Teaching experts had been transferred to the East Sea, with Dragon Clan reinforcements arriving, the Dragon Clan in the South Sea had begun gaining the upper hand.

However, the Dragon Clan’s main expert force was destined to miss – the opponent’s experts had already used cosmic techniques, about to charge to the East Sea Dragon Palace…

Outside the East Sea Dragon Palace, twelve routes of sea race rebels and deep sea demon soldiers attacked fiercely, but the Dragon Clan’s outer defense circle was unbreakable, with the main immortal dragon soldiers gathered here.

Most deadly was the several hundred thousand Western camp elites appearing inside the defense circle…

This army, with dozens of experts like Daoist Wen Jing, had already been charged near the East Sea Dragon Palace!

The opponent was also very cunning, with dozens of experts concealing their auras, directly hiding among the sea race rebels, causing the Dragon Clan to misjudge.

The Dragon Clan had thought it was just an ordinary “thirteenth route” enemy army, directly dispatching several hundred thousand troops around the Dragon Palace.

But those dozens of experts suddenly struck, destroying this defense line of the East Sea Dragon Palace like dead twigs!

Several tens of thousands of elite soldiers charged through first, heading straight for the Crystal Palace under the leadership of over fifty experts like Daoist Wen Jing!

Wen Jing and others released their pressures, immediately throwing the Crystal Palace into slight chaos.

Experts at Wen Jing’s level – there were five here…

Ordinary Golden Immortal experts like Worryfree Daoist, the Degree Immortal Gate Sect Leader – there were over two to three hundred here, and most were karma-burdened fierce gods!

Moreover, Li Changshou knew the opponent still had experts in hiding, not directly appearing.

Like those four tall, short, fat, and thin Daoists carrying cosmic treasures who brought several hundred thousand elites…

The Crystal Palace battle was about to erupt!

In the Western camp, an elder hiding in the shadows coldly shouted at the Crystal Palace, his voice traveling thousands of li under the sea:

“Today’s matter concerns no others.

The Dragon Clan has long been tyrannical, oppressing sea races – today the sea races merely seek justice from the Dragon Clan.”

Responding to him were clear dragon roars.

Hundreds of azure dragons flew out from the Crystal Palace, each revealing their aura, directly standing against the opponent.

Before this group of azure dragons was eleven or twelve extremely old elders, each with a dao rhythm like the sea and presence like mountains, their bodies emanating a unique dao rhythm.

Heaven and Earth’s Grief!

These were experts who had participated in the ancient battle that shattered the Primordial Heaven and Earth!

Li Changshou watched from the side with furrowed brows…

Not only were the opponent’s expert numbers somewhat more than he predicted, but the Dragon Clan side also proved deeply hidden.

Indeed none were easy opponents…

Both sides met, no words needed!

Hundreds of azure dragons roared and coiled, heading straight toward the enemy army, followed by tens of thousands of troops responsible for Crystal Palace’s defense.

The experts on both sides were quite in sync, quickly leaving the armies’ battlefield, spreading out today’s “peak battle” in the sea region around the Crystal Palace!

Li Changshou couldn’t participate in such a great battle, he could only do what was within his ability.

The paper avatar corps was in position;

Heaven’s reinforcements had also appeared directly above the East Sea Dragon Palace, ready to make the most dramatic entrance at any time.

His Majesty the Jade Emperor’s avatar was currently hidden in the East Sea Dragon Palace – whether this grand play could be perfectly completed would be revealed in the next half hour!

However, before that…

“Great Master, can you use the mirror to capture one of their experts?

That very powerful female, originally a mosquito, quite alluring figure after transformation.”

“Let me look… this one?”

The Great Master raised his chin toward the crystal mirror;

In the mirror, Daoist Wen Jing in a red dress was wrapped in strands of black qi, all mosaic around her seen through.

She leaned slightly forward, her delicate finger pointing at a hundred-zhang-long azure dragon’s forehead, the dragon visibly deflating, turning to ash in an instant…

“Mm…”

Daoist Wen Jing’s nasal sound was soft, a slight blush crossing her pretty face, visible satisfaction, the black qi around her growing several points thicker.

She smiled charmingly, completely unaware that her disguise had been completely seen through, her expression details fully displayed before certain unnamed great and small Pure Yang Masters.

At this time, though Wen Jing’s fierce aura was strong, she wasn’t rushing to kill dragons, just intentionally delaying time.

The Great Master frowned: “She’s the one who attacked the Degree Immortal Gate.”

“Yes, yes, but now, she’s… one of us.”

Li Changshou said somewhat nervously.

“Oh?” the Great Master’s eyes brightened as he smiled, “You are impressive, not satisfied with three stars surrounding the moon, actually fooling even such a fierce beast.

These fierce beasts aren’t easy to tame, and she’s far stronger than you.”

Uh, Great Master, did you misunderstand something?

The one dating her in the future will be you, Great Master – this was decided by Lord Supreme Clarity, what does it have to do with this little disciple?

But wait, what’s this about three stars surrounding the moon?

Li Changshou was about to explain when his mind suddenly shook, he hurriedly said: “Great Master, disciple must go handle another matter first.”

“Go ahead,” Great Master Xuandu waved his hand, “Don’t worry about here, if the Dragon Clan can’t hold, I’ll naturally act to protect them.”

“Yes.”

Li Changshou quickly closed his eyes, his consciousness moving to a paper avatar at the edge of a sea trench a hundred thousand li away.

This paper avatar transformed, becoming a middle-aged Daoist – the image of Human Teaching’s Little Master.

Then, Li Changshou used water teleportation, heading toward the bottom of the sea trench.

…

This sea trench was extremely deep, but there were intense battle fluctuations below.

After teleporting just several hundred zhang, streams of “blood” surged forward, mixed with pieces of Dragon Clan remains.

Li Changshou avoided this “blood” flow, teleporting to the bottom, continuously encountering true dragon remains, these remains’ cut surfaces extremely smooth.

Moments ago, these true dragons’ solid dragon bodies had been cut like tofu…

Below this sea trench was the true dragon seal of the East Sea Eye!

Seeing this situation, that six-winged golden cicada had reached the depths unobstructed, which was truly somewhat beyond Li Changshou’s expectations.

Was this fierce beast also an expert at Wen Jing’s level?

This paper avatar of Li Changshou was meant to delay the opponent for some time, waiting for allied reinforcements to arrive.

The opponent could do too many things at the Sea Eye…

The simplest would be breaking the Sea Eye’s seal, polluting the entire East Sea, and forcing the Dragon Clan to use lives to fill the Sea Eye again after the battle…

Thinking carefully, the probability of the opponent doing this was not high;

Breaking the Sea Eye might immediately attract Purple Lightning Divine Thunder, the karma is truly too great.

Moreover, Western currently should be determined to win over the Dragon Clan, and wouldn’t greatly weaken the Dragon Clan’s power like this.

Li Changshou estimated the opponent must want to use the remnant souls of those “Sea Eye filling dragons” here…

Mm?

Six-winged golden cicada…

Seems like in his previous life he had heard rumors about this fierce beast, there was quite a famous monk who was supposedly this thing’s reincarnation…

Who was it?

Li Changshou divined with his fingers, searching his memories, while using water teleportation to charge into a broken formation, just in time to see…

That six-winged golden cicada flashed several times, leaving afterimages, as two Dragon Elder bodies were directly cut to pieces, still maintaining poses of thrusting palms and throwing treasures…

The golden cicada’s six thin wings gently flapped, blood light flashing then disappearing on them.

This six-winged golden cicada shook its form, transforming into a young Daoist in golden light, with fair and delicate features, but a smile carrying some evil charm.

The six-winged golden cicada murmured:

“The Dragon Clan has truly declined, actually so weak now.”

At this time, Li Changshou had reached his divination result, seeing memory fragments from his previous life.

Six-winged golden cicada… Golden Cicada…

Da- damn!

Was this that fat white monk who always shouted “Female benefactor, you must not”?

Tang Monk was this fierce before his ten cycles of reincarnation?

Seeing this young Daoist take out a blood-colored pearl, about to execute his scheme, Li Changshou couldn’t care about his internal struggle, immediately appearing and shouting:

“Wait!”
