My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 74: I’m Going All Out!

Li Changshou was puzzled.

Why!

Why would there suddenly be three Heaven Immortals on the Little Qiong Peak?

Two of them are elders from the sect, and one of them is a stranger. However, I saw him at the entrance of Linhai Town before, and his aura was somewhat familiar...

Why!?!

Are Ao Yi and Jiu Wu walking around in the outer array formation?

There is a young man with dragon horns in front, and a short Daoist is floating behind him. The former is in a hurry, while the latter has a sinister smile...

They even followed the guidance of the wooden sign and headed towards the meeting room that I had created...

How did these two come together?

It must be a special fate that brought you two together...

What in the world is this?

Did Uncle-Master Jiu Wu arrange this again?

That doesn’t make sense. After all these years, my relationship with Uncle-Master Jiu Wu has gotten better and he has also taken the Great Dao Oath...

Huh?

In the direction of the main peak, there was still plenty of the aura belonging to the Heaven Immortals. They were all gathered in the main hall that was usually closed...

Li Changshou reacted quickly.

He had chanced upon the members of the Jie School in Linhai Town and heard some of their conversations. It seemed that they were looking for an immortal sect to discuss the Dao and spar.

He never expected that the Jie School was looking for the Immortal Du Sect to discuss the Dao!

Ao Yi had some grudges with the Immortal Du Sect.

After all, Ao Yi was the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace in the East Ocean Dragon Palace. In recent decades, there had been tension between the Dragon Palace and the Immortal Sect of the East Continent...

Could it be that the little dragon wants to cause a conflict between the two factions?

That shouldn’t be the case. Ao Yi doesn’t seem so stupid. If he really did that, the Dragon race would be defeated by the Sect Leader of Jie School in the blink of an eye...

Although this little dragon is indeed... not very smart...

Did he damage his brain from overindulging in Beauty’s Charm?

Li Changshou pondered. At first, he was completely confused by the situation, but he quickly realized what was going on.

At that moment, he could vaguely sense that all the members of the Immortal Du Sect were looking at the Little Qiong Peak.

They were using their immortal senses and spiritual senses to stare at the surroundings of the Pill Chamber...

Among the Immortal Du Sect disciples, the cultivation level that I displayed should be above average. There should not be any problems with this aspect.

There must be a reason for everything.

He had encountered Ao Yi before his Tribulation Transcendence. That was also a coincidence.

He was sure that Ao Yi did not recognize him. At that time, all the people who had appeared were the same sullen-faced old Daoist priests. Their auras and scents had been simulated.

In this case, it’s likely that something happened during the Demon-Sweeping Meet in the East Ocean...

This little dragon is probably unhappy because he did not lose to me on purpose the previous time. He’s probably displeased about that. After so many years, he actually traveled tens of thousands of kilometers to come here and spar with me again?

Li Changshou sighed in the secret underground chamber...

“I will never understand what that dragon and that girl are thinking.”

What should he do now?

Li Changshou observed the paper effigy avatar in the Pill Chamber and saw that the three Sensing Stones on the paper effigy flickered slightly. That was obviously caused by his immortal senses.

After a moment of hesitation, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and went back to the Pill Chamber.

In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou disappeared before reappearing.

He stepped onto the meditation cushion behind the Pill Furnace, sat down, and closed his eyes to meditate. He first followed the instructions that he had given to his junior and pretended to focus on gaining Dao enlightenment...

Li Changshou thought that if he were to break through the bottleneck in seclusion, he would have a breakthrough. Hence, he secretly adjusted the Qi-Calming Turtle Breathing Mantra.

Superficial disguise: Fifth Stage of the Void Return realm.

Inner disguise: Ninth Stage of the Void Return realm.

Deep disguise: Essence Immortal realm.

After doing all that, Li Changshou began to examine himself maniacally. He finally confirmed that there was nothing else on Little Qiong Peak that could expose the details of his trump cards...

At that moment, Ling’e was obediently hiding in her straw hut, pretending to be cultivating.

Junior Sister is doing well this time.

I shall praise her later.

Li Changshou knew that he could only pretend to be in seclusion and comprehend the Dao. He would wait for the experts in the sect to wake up or be alarmed by the commotion in the array formation...

He could only advance by retreating and find an opportunity to divert their attention!

They were in the array.

Following the instructions on the wooden signs, they arrived at the Open-space Tearoom. Ao Yi and Jiu Wu could not help but look at each other.

At that moment, Ao Yi’s body was still like that of a child that was 12 or 13 years old. Including his horns, he was six feet tall and a head taller than Jiu Wu.

After he read the words written on the wooden signs, he turned to look at his surroundings, his eyes filled with confusion.

Jiu Wu smiled and said, “Crown Prince Ao Yi, this is obviously another fork in the road.”

Ao Yi frowned and said, “I’ve found a way out of these basic array formations. Why can’t I leave this place?”

“This is a Chain Array. It was created by Disciple-Nephew Changshou,” said Jiu Wu. He continued, “There will be a succeeding array formation after the previous path of life. If you want to break this array formation, you have to have high attainments in creating array formations.”

“Crown Prince Ao Yi, don’t force yourself.”

“Humph!”

Ao Yi snorted and said indifferently, “I don’t believe that I’ll be trapped here today!”

He then took out an ice-blue pearl from his chest pocket. The pearl glistened, and the spiritual energy within the array was instantly blocked.

Ao Yi smiled indifferently before turning around and walking back. He soon discovered a new path.

Jiu Wu hurriedly followed and caught up behind him. However, the smile on the short Daoist’s face grew wider.

When he joined forces with Jiu Shi and his wife back then, they were all confused by the array formation. The current array formation was obviously more perfect than the one they tried to break...

In essence, the Chain Array was made up of some basic array formations. However, Li Changshou’s meticulous and detailed design made it ingenious.

An hour later...

Ao Yi looked at the wooden sign in front of him and his mouth twitched.

It read: “Are you lost?”

He had returned to the same place!

“Damn it!”

Ao Yi’s delicate face twitched as he gritted his teeth. He then shook his head and walked down another path.

In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou opened his left eye.

This little dragon seems to have a Dharma treasure that can break the array formation. However, he has been circling around the periphery. He obviously doesn’t know much about array formations.

After thinking about it, Li Changshou secretly removed several array formations that were within a thousand feet of the Pill Chamber, allowing the Heaven Immortals to take a closer look at the Pill Chamber so that they could see that he was meditating in seclusion.

That would seem more reasonable.

...

Another hour later...

Hovering in the sky above the Little Qiong Peak, the three Heaven Immortals had different expressions. The elders of the Immortal Du Sect naturally smiled, but they could not laugh too much.

The old Daoist priest Yuan Ze also had a smile on his face. However, he also frowned a few times.

They could roughly see the situation inside the array formation. When Yuan Ze saw Ao Yi turning around like a headless fly, he felt a little anxious.

Inside the array, Ao Yi’s eyes were bloodshot, and he had an unstable state of mind. He held onto a sword and a pearl in his hand as he walked through the array swiftly.

Jiu Wu floated slowly from behind, while keeping his guard up against Ao Yi who might use his Numinous Treasure sword to break the array...

In a while, Jiu Wu would ask his master to take action and get the two of them out so that the prince of the Dragon Palace could admit defeat.

Apprentice-nephew doesn’t need to come out of seclusion. I’ve already settled everything!

Gradually, Ao Yi’s breathing quickened...

However, Ao Yi was still awake. Although he was anxious, he did not do anything out of line.

He had agreed to break the array formation. If he managed to clear it, he would have won!

The array formation here is indeed a basic array formation set up by cultivators at the Void Return Stage. However, I can’t even leave...

In fact, I can’t even find the core of the array formation!

When I was in Dan Sect, I learned so many principles about array formations... Is the dragon race this weak in the face of array formations?

No, the dragon race can still rise!

Jiu Wu whispered, “Crown Prince Ao Yi, why don’t you forget...”

“I’m breaking the array!”

Ao Yi turned around and growled.

“Yes, please go ahead.”

Jiu Wu smiled and followed closely behind. He was afraid that he would lose Ao Yi.

On a cloud outside the array, the two young ladies discussed for a while. Han Zhi said softly, “Master, you have also taught me many techniques in creating array formations.

“Why don’t I go and give it a try with Senior Sister Rourou? This has nothing to do with Uncle-Master Ao Yi’s sparring. I’m just a little enticed.”

The old Daoist priest Yuan Ze looked at the two Elders from the Immortal Du Sect and nodded in agreement.

They wanted to see how profound the array formations outside the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak were...

They ended up chancing upon a talented practitioner of array formations!

After this, I must tell the people of Hundred Mortal Hall to focus on groom Changshou.

“Go, go.” Old Daoist Yuan Ze waved his hand. Han Zhi and the young lady floated down and entered the array.

A few moments later...

The two girls in the Essence Immortal realm looked at the wooden sign, feeling rather dumbfounded and dismayed.

It read: “Are you lost?”

Han Zhi said in a low voice, “The person who set up this array is too arrogant!”

“There are wooden planks behind.”

“Let’s see what tricks he has up his sleeves. Let’s go and take a look!”

There were more guests in the Open-space Tearoom than there had ever been in the past ten-odd years.

...

In the Pill Chamber, Li Changshou, who was using his immortal sense to observe everything, sighed silently in his heart. He continued pretending to be in seclusion and trying to break through.

Fortunately, he had given the secret of the array formation to the sect through Jiu Wu and obtained the Pill Furnace from the sect.

That was the last hidden danger which he had gotten rid of in advance.

However, after today, the array formations around the Pill Chamber would probably become a scenic spot in the sect...

Little Qiong Peak Reservation Project—The Great Adventure of the Enchanting Formation!

Furthermore, with this incident and all the previous events, my “extraordinary disciple” had attracted too much attention.

The matter really gave Li Changshou a headache...

The image of an outstanding disciple was too weak. He could not hold on any longer!

This time, I shall take the opportunity to reveal the level of an “inferior junior immortal”. Otherwise, if the situation gets too abnormal, it would be even more difficult to explain.

Li Changshou quickly pondered.

Disguising is a matter of balance in all aspects. One had to act appropriately in order to make people feel that they had seen through him. That was actually a higher level of disguise.

The way he dealt with Jiu Wu back then was for the sake of exposing Jiu Wu so that the latter would think that he knew everything about him...

This time, I can only continue using this method to deal with the experts in the sect. Perhaps, I would be able to obtain many benefits from this...

Now, I can only reveal the cultivation level of a quasi-immortal junior immortal. I can divert their attention to my own cultivation level and conceal other abnormalities.

I want them to think that my talent is not too bad and that it was no wonder I could cause so much trouble.

After that, I will need a few years to settle down. Then, I will deliberately break through the bottleneck and go back to being an outstanding disciple. The sect will then not pay much attention to me, a disciple of the Little Qiong Peak.

If I reveal some of my trump cards, I can make up for it in the future.

If all my other trump cards are exposed, it would be quite troublesome...

In the future, I have to be extra careful.

The trump cards that he had hidden painstakingly were meant for him to deal with all kinds of dangers and to survive better.

No matter how little he revealed, it would still be a loss during this situation.

Now that I think of it... I should have given Ao Yi some Heart-diminishing Powder back in the ocean!

I would have used just a tiny dosage!

Another hour passed...

The rays of the setting sun covered the sky, illuminating the elders of the Immortal Du Sect. There was a smile on each of the wrinkled faces that were as bright as chrysanthemums.

The two Qi Refinement cultivators from Golden Ao Island and three Immortal Du Sect elders arrived.

In the hearts of the elders of the Immortal Du Sect, Li Changshou and Jiu Jiu were worthy of being praised. They also praised Jiu Wu, who had come up with that idea to brush Ao Yi off.

It was indeed a smart move.

One of the elders from the Immortal Du Sect took the initiative to step forward. He stroked his beard and smiled.

“The array formations here were meticulously designed by Li Changshou, a disciple of the Immortal Du Sect. He used the chain array formation techniques that he had studied for many years and came up with the design. They were then set up by my Apprentice-nephew Jiu Jiu, who’s a Perfected Immortal.”

“Although they are all basic array formations, they can in fact, only be set up in the Perfected Immortal realm. It’s normal that Prince Ao Yi and the two fairies couldn’t break them.”

“Fine!”

The old Daoist Yuan Ze sighed and said, “I’ll take the three of them out. Junior Ao Yi lost again this time.”

Yuan Ze then floated towards the array below with his hands behind his back.

With the abilities of a Heaven Immortal, he could blow and make the array foundation collapse with his immortal power. However, that would be too embarrassing.

The old Daoist priest Yuan Ze had been watching outside for half a day. He felt that he had already figured out the method to break the array formation. At this moment, he was full of confidence. He was going to help the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island turn the tables...

His juniors have really embarrassed themselves this time and that could not be helped.

However...

To Yuan Ze’s surprise...

A few moments later...

He saw the wooden sign that read: “Are you lost?”

The old Heaven Immortal could not help but let out a long sigh as he thought This array formation indeed has a hidden secret.

He turned around, frowned, and continued trying to break the array. The few Heaven Immortals on the cloud looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After Li Changshou returned from his Tribulation Transcendence, he had indeed secretly activated the outer layer of array formations. However, he had only changed the foundations of a few of them.

It would be easy for the Heaven Immortal Yuan Ze to forcefully break the array formation. However, he was still a little angry and insisted on breaking the array formation that was actually a closed Chain Array...

Theoretically, the only way to break through the array formation was to do it with brute force and destroy one of the array formation foundations.

However, how could he use brute force?

The matter concerned the level of the array formation skills of the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island!

The matter concerned his pride!

Once again... One hour later...

Ao Yi and Jiu Wu stood rooted to the ground as they watched the Heaven Immortal Daoists walking back and forth.

“Senior Brother Yuan Ze!” Ao Yi shouted and took a step forward. The scenery around him suddenly changed.

The old Daoist priest Yuan Ze raised his sleeve to cover his face when he heard that. However, the array formation changed, and his figure quickly disappeared out of Ao Yi’s sight.

“This...” Ao Yi’s eyes widened as his entire body trembled.

Jiu Wu hurried over and smiled. “Prince, it’s getting late. Why don’t we? Huh?”

“I can definitely break this array! I can definitely break this array!”

Ao Yi shouted in a trembling voice. He lifted his sword and continued to run forward while his body trembled.

...

The Pill Chamber was filled with starlight.

Li Changshou’s immortal senses were fixed on the group of Heaven Immortals and Perfected Immortals in the sky who seemed to want to enter the array formation...

Why don’t I deal with it tonight and escape with Master and Junior?

Indeed, I should escape.

I can’t stay in the Immortal Du Sect any longer!

That was, of course, a joke. He had worked hard to manage the Little Qiong Peak for numerous years and it was obviously a relatively safer place.

At that moment, a wisp of immortal senses suddenly descended from the sky and was fixed on Li Changshou. It gently disturbed his spirit.

The disturbance was slight.

Li Changshou understood that the experts in the sect were waking him up, but they were afraid that it would affect his mental state...

It was thoughtful of them to care so much about a disciple.

Li Changshou opened his eyes while in a daze. It was exactly the same as the scene when he was woken up in the midst of cultivation.

The Exalted Wang Qing’s voice sounded in his ears. “Don’t cultivate any more. Let the person in the array out. When Ao Yi came to spar with you previously, he was already at the Essence Immortal realm. He might suppress his cultivation level and attack you later. You don’t have to force yourself to win, but you cannot lose too quickly in your own immortal sect.”

Li Changshou quickly stood up and bowed to the sky. “I will do as you say.”

Suppress his cultivation level to fight me?

He walked quickly to the door of the Pill Chamber and looked forward. He made up his mind and clenched his fists tightly!

I’ll go all out!

The jade pendant rotated slightly, and a gentle breeze blew across the forest.

Li Changshou, on the other hand, flew up in front of the Pill Chamber and slowly rose into the air. His cultivation level which was at the Void Return Stage was undoubtedly revealed!

It seemed that he had just broken through the realm and was still a little unstable...

In the sky and in the forest, the elders, the immortals, and the two fairies of Jie School, Jiu Wu, Ao Yi, and the old Heaven Immortal looked over at the same time...

In the immortal sect, all eyes were on Li Changshou.

That made Li Changshou feel slightly uncomfortable, but he could only try his best to endure this wave.

Jiu Wu quickly reminded him, “You did not hide your cultivation level!”

Li Changshou was stunned. He bowed to Jiu Wu and said,

“I’m Li Changshou, a disciple of the Little Qiong Peak. I hereby greet you, my elders, Uncle-Masters, and Seniors.”
