Chapter 645 - I’ll Say Something Fair
Chapter 645: I’ll Say Something Fair
The battle on the spiritual mountain was intense. The Great Immortal had collapsed in Kunlun.
The immortals of Chan School widened their eyes. They wanted to ask what feud there was.
Zhao Gongming made a trip on the cloud and was barely breathing. He had really frightened most of the immortals of Chan School.
However, how could Guang Chengzi not know Zhao Gongming?
At that moment, Guang Chengzi threw Perfected Taiyi out. Perfected Taiyi placed his hands behind his back and walked around Zhao Gongming. He muttered, “Ah, my injuries are too serious.”
“It’ll take hundreds of years to recover.”
“Don’t waste the blood of the Zenith Heaven. It’d be good for refining pills. Oh... Tsk, it’s the smell of a good corpse and evil corpse.”
Then, he said seriously, “On behalf of Chan School, I express my sincere condolences to you. If you confirm later that your injuries were caused by our disturbance, Chan School is willing to bear the responsibility and do our best to heal you.”
Zhao Gongming was confused.
This is not right...
Zhao Gongming opened his eyes slightly and saw Perfected Taiyi’s smiling expression.
A moment later, at the place sealed by the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.
Zhao Gongming was surrounded by three figures. They were the three Perfected Ones of Chan School, Huang Long, Taiyi, and Yu Ding.
Indeed, there were many limitations to fighting alone. Although it had also delayed Chan School’s time, Chan School’s response was very fast. Perfected Taiyi took the initiative to say that he had left Yu Ding and Huang Long behind. The immortals of Chan School immediately set off and began to take a detour.
Zhao Gongming originally planned to make the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl lose control and trap the immortals of Chan School temporarily. However, Perfected Yu Ding sent a voice transmission to offend them. Green light shone in his eyes and interfered with the relationship between Zhao Gongming and the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.
The opportunity was fleeting. Chan School quickly flew away.
Zhao Gongming could only “close his eyes and fall unconscious”. He secretly crushed the communication jade token.
Perfected Taiyi smiled and sat down beside Zhao Gongming. He called Perfected Yu Ding and Huang Long to take a seat.
When the immortals of Chan School flew out of the Middle Continent, Immortal Taiyi smiled softly and said, “Alright, stop pretending. How can we not know each other? Those who work under Changgeng are not pure. Aren’t you holding us back now? They won’t be able to fight if they go over. There are not many disciples left in the Western Sect this time. Jie School will definitely win.”
“Cough! Cough!”
Zhao Gongming coughed weakly and used the immortal light to prop himself up. He sat cross-legged and said weakly, “I’m temporarily suppressing my injuries. Fortunately, I’m not in a desperate situation. How thrilling.”
Perfected Yu Ding sat by the side and looked up at the sky.
Perfected Huang Long asked softly, “Junior Brother Gongming, are you really injured?”
“Of course,” Zhao Gongming replied seriously. He continued to cough weakly.
There was no point in rushing to the spiritual mountain now. Chan School’s side was there to stop the fight. Chan School knew very well that he was blocking the way.
Everyone had such tacit understanding.
Perfected Huang Long took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve. He hesitated for a while and handed it to Zhao Gongming with both hands.
“This pill...”
The corners of Zhao Gongming’s mouth twitched.
He took back his comment about everyone having a tacit understanding.
“Ah.” Perfected Yu Ding sighed. “I wonder if we will meet again in the future. Everything will become unpredictable during the God-Conferment Tribulation. In the past, the Primordial World was filled with desolation.”
Zhao Gongming said weakly, “With Junior Brother Changgeng around, ahem, ahem, there should be some changes.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “With Changgeng around, who can the Heavenly Dao and the Great Tribulation do anything to?”
“Don’t spout nonsense.” Perfected Huang Long reminded seriously, “Changgeng is working for the Heavenly Dao, not going against the Heavenly Dao. If Grandmaster hears you and misunderstands Junior Brother Changgeng, what should we do?”
Perfected Yu Ding said, “Don’t talk about that. The human race has its principles. There is always a third path.”
Zhao Gongming sighed softly. He sat in the encirclement of the three Perfected Ones of Chan School, but he felt safe.
He said weakly, “If there really comes a day when the two sects are in a confrontation, we will each show mercy.”
Perfected Yu Ding nodded slowly. Perfected Taiyi did not think much of it. However, he sensed that someone was investigating the place and did not say anything.
Zhao Gongming seemed to have sensed it as well. He whispered, “Ahem, ahem. I still have to recuperate from my injuries.”
After saying that, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. His weak aura kept trembling.
Huang Long, Perfected Taiyi, and Yu Ding looked at each other and sat cross-legged around Zhao Gongming.
He could not tell if Zhao Gongming had delayed the three of them or if the three of them had looked after Zhao Gongming.
Due to the fact that Li Changshou had been deepening the relationship between the immortals of the two sects, the few of them were considered familiar. At that moment, they were living in harmony.
However, not long after, the Immortals of Chan School and Jie School, who were in a confrontation on the spiritual mountain, looked different.
Zhao Gongming could not stop the immortals of Chan School. Jie School had obtained the orders of the Goddess of Golden Spirit. They used all their methods and mystical abilities.
A Primordial Poisonous Elixir rich family like Lu Yue who relied on “accumulation” to fight...
He dyed the ground green!
The Western Sect had long retreated in defeat. The array formations kept falling. When the immortals of Chan School arrived at the spiritual mountain, the entire spiritual mountain was flattened. Only half of the bare mountain stood on the cracked ground.
The Saint’s Dao field looked tragic.
The main hall of the spiritual mountain floated in the air. There were only dozens of injured old Daoists inside. At that moment, they were desperately activating a huge array to resist the endless attacks that were erupting around them.
There was a rich power of the Heavenly Dao on the array formation. It became the only obstacle for Jie School to flatten the spiritual mountain.
At the eye of the array, Ksitigarbha’s figure was a little faint.
He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to focus. His eyelids kept trembling, as if he was enduring great pain. However, his expression was extremely determined.
Ksitigarbha was already a god of the Heavenly Dao. He should not participate in the battle between the sects under the Great Tribulation.
However, he still returned. When he rode Truth Listener, he had been surrounded and killed by Jie School. However, with the protection of the Heavenly Dao, he carried Truth Listener and rushed into the hall, saving the last “blood” of the Western Sect.
Ksitigarbha knew that he would be targeted by that man later.
However, he was ultimately a disciple of the spiritual mountain. He could not bear to see his birthplace evaporate.
Look at the spiritual mountain.
Green blood stained the ground. The scene was tragic and spectacular!
There were only nine eldest disciples like Ksitigarbha, who was the direct disciples of the Saint of the Western Sect. All of them were injured. Six of them had lost their cultivation because they had forcefully burned the power of their essence souls. They had even left irreversible Dao injuries.
70% of the experts that had been transferred from the trichiliocosm had died, and 20% had escaped during the chaos.
Most of the ordinary disciples of the Saint on the spiritual mountain had died. More than half of the last dozens of ferocious beasts and demonic beasts had died. At that moment, half of them had already hidden in the West Ocean under Daoist Wen Jing’s lead.
The immortals of Chan School rushed over and remained silent. They occupied the east side of the spiritual mountain.
Guang Chengzi shouted, “Fellow disciples of Jie School, please show mercy! They are also from the Saint Sect. Why don’t you leave them some incense offerings!?!”
The immortals of the Jie School looked at the Goddess of Golden Spirit, who had the highest status in the sect. The Goddess of Golden Spirit raised her hand, and streams of light retreated from the surroundings of the hall. Then, they lined up behind the Goddess of Golden Spirit.
Thousands of experts unleashed their full might, causing Chan School to be unable to take it.
Jin Ling was about to question him when she heard a voice transmission.
Li Changshou had guided her on how to end it.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit’s expression softened. She first put away her Dharma body and cupped her hands at Guang Chengzi.
“Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, did Chan School come to destroy the spiritual mountain today because they have a common enemy with us and the Jie School? In the hall, there was still the last batch of survivors of the spiritual mountain. They were also where half of the disciples of the spiritual mountain were.I will give this credit to Chan School. We are all from the Dao Sect. We have been one since ancient times. There’s no need to be too polite.”
Guang Chengzi was speechless.
The immortals of Chan School had different expressions. Half of them were a little embarrassed, while the other half lowered their heads and remained silent.
Guang Chengzi said calmly, “Fellow Daoist, your words are really embarrassing.”
Fairy Qiong Xiao scoffed. “Senior Sister, listen to this. You call him Senior Brother and he calls you Fellow Daoist. You treat Chan School as family but Chan School does not reciprocate.”
As soon as he said that, the murderous immortals of Jie School immediately widened their eyes and frowned. They were almost about to charge at Guang Chengzi.
At this moment!
A soft voice sounded from beside Qiong Xiao. The immortals of Jie School stopped and stood there obediently.
“Stop fooling around.”
Qiong Xiao hurriedly lowered her head and pouted.
Yun Xiao was worried that the two sects would start fighting because of Qiong Xiao’s words. She stood up in time to reprimand her third sister.
The effect was not bad.
On Yun Xiao’s shoulder, the little bug had already disappeared and was naturally hiding where it could.
Since Fairy Yun Xiao had already spoken, she could only take half a step forward and say to Guang Chengzi, “Fellow Daoists, why have you come? Are you protecting the people of the Western Sect or working together with Jie School? Daoist Brother Guang Chengzi, please give me an explanation.”
Guang Chengzi pondered for a while. Chi Jingzi, who was beside him, wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Guang Chengzi.
Who doesn’t know?
At this moment, Chan School had stopped Jie School from destroying the Western Sect. They had the intention to join forces with the Saints of the Western Sect to fight against Jie School.
If news of what happened today spread, he, the Eldest Senior Brother of Chan School, would definitely be mocked by the Qi Refinement cultivators in the world.
However, if there were other paths, why would he do that?
The Great Tribulation did not give him a choice.
After all, he had to be the villain. It was better for him to do it alone than with everyone in Chan School.
Previously, he should not have left the few junior brothers who were close to Junior Brother Changgeng at Zhao Gongming’s place.
If Taiyi was there, he would be able to mock him when he said the following words.
The reputation that the immortals of Chan School had should be much lesser.
Guang Chengzi sighed softly. His eyes flickered and he smiled faintly.
“I came today to plead for mercy on behalf of the Western Sect. Don’t be too extreme when you do things. The Western Sect has already suffered casualties today. We can’t cut off the legacy of the two Uncle-Masters, Zhun Ti and Jie Yin.”
Many immortals of Jie School were enraged when they heard that.
“Guang Chengzi, what do you mean? Are you calling us fellow Daoists and calling the Western Saint Uncle-Master?!”
“If Chan School wants to advance and retreat with the Western Sect, we will fight today!”
“Ridiculous! How absurd!”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit raised her hand and her voice was instantly drowned out.
Jin Ling said, “Fellow Daoist, your words are a little too ear-piercing. Today, Jie School has already formed a death feud with the Western Sect. If we can’t destroy them all, there will be no end of trouble.”
“Fellow Daoist Jin Ling, think about it,” said Guang Chengzi. “Does Jie School really care about the remaining disciples of the Western Sect? They only have dozens of disciples. I’m afraid they will be sad during the Great Tribulation. The two Saints of the Western Sect were the ones that Jie School should be most worried about. If the Saint recklessly killed the immortals of Jie School, how can the immortals of Jie School resist? If I leave these disciples of the Western Sect behind, the immortals of Jie School will be equivalent to holding onto the weakness of the Saints of the Western Sect. If the Saints of the Western Sect attack, you can also retaliate. The logic is that simple.”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit frowned slightly.
It was not that she could not win against Guang Chengzi or that she could not refute him. Instead, she felt that...
That made sense.
If the Saint of the Western Sect became a “barefoot”, it would be quite troublesome.
Fairy Yun Xiao knew what Jin Ling was thinking when she saw that. She immediately stood up and tried to reason with Guang Chengzi.
However, just as she was about to move forward, a voice transmission entered her ears.
“I’ll do it. Don’t be too conspicuous in the Great Tribulation.”
Fairy Yun Xiao could not help but purse her lips slightly. Warmth flowed through her heart. Although her sweetheart had been nagging today and was a little domineering at that moment, every word was filled with concern and worry.
Screech...
A golden line streaked across the sky. The Golden Roc’s cry echoed throughout the Aparagodānīya Continent. A mysterious, light, and balanced Dao rune spread out.
Guang Chengzi heaved a sigh of relief.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit pursed her lips slightly and did not say anything else.
The Golden Roc quickly circled down. Li Changshou stood on the Golden Roc’s back and used the old immortal skin of Taibai Jinxing. He held a horsetail whisk in his hand and looked solemn.
He arrived in the sky and happened to be in the middle of the Jie School and Chan School. He was also in the sky above the main hall of the spiritual mountain.
The Golden Roc circled around and transformed into the Heavenly Courts’ golden-armored Divine General to protect the old immortal. He looked arrogant and threatening.
There was a saying:
“Taibai Jinxing of the East is famous for helping the Heavenly Courts.”
He understood the true balanced nature and the Dao enlightenment in front of the Grand Pure One.
After Li Changshou took the initiative to appear, he first bowed to Guang Chengzi and then bowed to the Goddess of Golden Spirit.
“Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, can I say something first and do something small?”
Guang Chengzi smiled and said, “Junior Brother, why are you being so polite? If the matter today can be mediated by you, it will naturally end well.”
Li Changshou smiled and opened his eyes.
“Senior Brother Guang Chengzi is wrong. Today, my Eldest Senior Brother, the Great Daoist Master, has already taken action. He represents Ren School to support Jie School in the matter regarding the Western Sect. Since I’m here, I’m here for the Heavenly Courts’ business. It has nothing to do with the battle between Chan School, Jie School, and the Western Sect. Under the Great Tribulation, I was ordered to preside over this tribulation. It’s not appropriate for me to rashly say anything.”
Li Changshou paused and looked at the hall of the spiritual mountain floating in the sky.
Ksitigarbha, who was meditating in the hall, suddenly realized something. His expression changed, and he immediately opened his eyes.
Li Changshou waved his horsetail whisk and shouted coldly, “Ksitigarbha, Lord of the Reincarnation Pagoda, you left the Netherworld and ignored the matter of reincarnation. You have selfish feelings and violated the promise you made to the Heavenly Dao back then. Do you know your sins?”
Ksitigarbha immediately stood up and looked at Li Changshou through the roof of the hall.
Li Changshou opened his left hand and rich Heavenly Dao power surged from all directions. It turned into clouds and turned into a huge hand that reached down and tore open the array formation that was originally relying on the Heavenly Dao power. It grabbed Ksitigarbha.
Li Changshou’s sleeve fluttered. Ksitigarbha turned into a stream of light and entered Li Changshou’s sleeve. He could not move anymore.
At that moment, the world was rather quiet.
This silence was not because the last line of defense of the Western Sect had been easily broken. It was purely because of the performance of the Earth Treasury.
The moment the huge hand grabbed it, the immortal light around Ksitigarbha was about to spew out when it was suppressed by a certain power. It did not seem to resist and was casually restrained by Li Changshou.
The suppression of the Heavenly Dao sequence.
The mortal principle of crushing someone with one level of authority was completely revealed in the Primordial World.
That was the rule of the Heavenly Dao!
It was also the rule that the immortals and gods who were sealed into the God roll had to follow in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
After taking Ksitigarbha away, Li Changshou did not even look at the last group of disciples of the Western Sect. He smiled and said, “This place is fine. I’ll return to the Heavenly Courts now.”
After saying that, he turned around and left, as if he did not want to delay any further.
“Junior Brother Changgeng!”
Guang Chengzi shouted, “If you are done with your work, please discuss today’s matter as the second disciple of Master and Uncle-Master!”
The Goddess of Golden Spirit also said, “Junior Brother Changgeng, can you stay and make a decision? Are we going to eliminate Jie School today?”
Li Changshou stopped in his tracks and looked troubled. After moaning softly, he said, “In that case, I’ll say a few fair words.”
Most of the immortals of Jie School smiled. The immortals of Chan School also looked like they had a good show to watch.
Li Changshou returned and landed in the middle of the two factions with the Golden Roc. He was at the same height as the thousands of immortals of Jie School and Chan School.
He lowered his head to look at the half of the spiritual mountain and then looked at the only belongings of the Western Sect—the hall.
“Why are there so many unfamiliar faces?”
Li Changshou was puzzled. “Could it be that they are not core disciples of the Western Sect?”
The immortals of the Western Sect almost instantly fell into despair.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit snorted coldly. “Junior Brother, you don’t know. The Western Sect is really scheming. They hide the true disciples of the Saints and cultivate. They let the disciples who came here to do evil, plunder wealth, and bear negative karma.”
“I see.”
Li Changshou stared at the hall of the spiritual mountain for a while. Then, he smiled and nodded. “Yes, I’ve remembered everything. Everyone will be familiar with each other in the future.”
Guang Chengzi said, “Junior Brother, how do you think we should deal with today’s matter? I came to Chan School to persuade them to stop fighting. It’s easier to form feuds than resolve them.”
Li Changshou said seriously, “At this stage, there’s probably no way to resolve it. However, Senior Brother is right. It’s time to stop. Since the ancient times, the Western Sect had strengthened the carefree immortals and strengthened those who had no fate. They had committed many sins for their own rise. It is time for this calamity. However, the Western Sect is after all a sect of the Saint. The Saint is the foundation of the Primordial World. This is the Heaven Earth Law that we have to follow. To the Heavenly Dao, good and evil are uncertain. The Western Sect has returned the karma that they owed the Dao Sect today. They have paid the debt that they had owed all these years with interest. It is not a small loss. It is appropriate to let it go but...”
Li Changshou paused and looked at Jia Ye and the other experts of the Western Sect in the hall. He smiled warmly.
“Since the karma has been resolved, the grudges should fade with the wind. Fellow Daoists of the Western Sect, why don’t you swear a Heavenly Dao oath that from today onwards, you will no longer go against the Dao Sect. You will focus on rebuilding the spiritual mountain and re-cultivating your morals. Wouldn’t that be beautiful?”
“Li Changgeng! Don’t go too far!”
An old Daoist priest from the Western Sect stomped his feet and cursed, “The hatred in our hearts is not appeased at all! If you have the ability, kill me! Stop!”
Whoosh...
Buzz!
Lightning flashed and immortal light flickered.
Before the old Daoist priest could finish shouting, a stream of light pierced through his neck. The experts on both sides wanted to stop it, but they were too late.
The Heart-Piercing Lock swept the old Daoist priest’s essence soul out and killed him with a gentle twist.
Li Changshou waved his right hand gently and the Heart-Piercing Lock disappeared. He pursed his lips and muttered softly,
“Ah, this is the first time I’ve heard such a request in a thousand years of cultivation. The Western Sect is indeed unique.”
The immortals present trembled.
