My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 305 Discussing About The Saint

It was autumn in the South Continent and there was a gathering at the coast of the South Ocean. The only disciple of the Saint of Ren School who was one of the first batch of humans that the Goddess Nuwa had personally created, and also the oldest pure Yang person in the Primordial World, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Three Schools of the Dao Sect, and the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, met the secret pawn of Ren School— Daoist Wen Jing.

In this meeting that did not have much historical significance in the Primordial World, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du used his gentle smile and extremely personable character to leave a deep impression on Daoist Wen Jing.

The scene was warm and pleasant. As the witness of this matter, the matchmaker, the Sea God of the Heavenly Courts, who had several other identities, the Little Daoist Master of Ren School, the young disciple of Ren School, the favorite Dharma treasure of the Saint of Ren School, the stand-in Elder Moon of the Heavenly Courts, the controller of the Little Acacia Tree... was really sweating.

She drooled because of the Great Daoist Master!

Why? Do you want to steam the Great Daoist Master?

Fortunately, Li Changshou was still smiling and trying to smooth things over. He tried to make Daoist Wen Jing’s expression which initially seemed to show that she was a fan of the Great Daoist Master, seem like a special way for the primordial ferocious mosquitoes to express their respect.

Otherwise, Li Changshou would completely understand the reason if the Great Daoist Master were to kill the Blood Mosquito.

In order to prevent Daoist Wen Jing from going crazy, Li Changshou cut to the chase and said, “Wen Jing, I called you over because of Jin Chanzi. Previously, in the West Ocean, Jin Chanzi injured my incarnation. He was ferocious and arrogant. I invited the Great Daoist Master here today to find this Jin Chanzi!”

Fortunately, Daoist Wen Jing seemed to be a little normal when it came to serious matters... However, she was also a little abnormal.

She actually revealed her righteousness and said firmly, “Do you need me to take action?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Previously, she was still a servant. Now, she called herself a subordinate.

Tsk, a fickle and vicious woman.

“No,” Li Changshou said. “You have more important things to do there. Hide and wait for the right time. Tell me everything you know about the Golden Cicada and I will be more confident.”

“Yes.” Daoist Wen Jing agreed and began to walk around in front of the Great Daoist Master.

She raised her head, puffed out her chest, revealed her figure, and deliberately let out a few soft moans. She revealed her mature and intelligent side. Every action, every expression, and every gaze was carefully considered. However, Li Changshou had a deja vu that... he was pretending to be the dragon girl.

Not long after, she parted her red lips and said gently, “In my opinion...” Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master could not help but listen attentively.

“Um...”

Daoist Wen Jing blinked at Li Changshou and asked via voice transmission, “Are you going to deal with the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, Lord Sea God?”

Li Changshou slipped and almost fell to the ground.

“Yes, hurry up!” Li Changshou gritted his teeth and sent a voice transmission. Daoist Wen Jing blinked and paced around again. After pondering for a while, she finally said something that would not be misheard. “It’s very difficult.”

The inner hall of the Sea God Temple was silent for a few seconds. The Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou were speechless.

Daoist Wen Jing turned around, pursed her lips, and closed her eyes. She wished she could punch herself.

Where did all my intelligence, ruthlessness, and cunningness go?! When it’s time to showcase my abilities, I can’t squeeze out any of them! “That makes sense.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Wen Jing, do you know where the Golden Cicada’s Cave Abode is? Does it have any weaknesses?”

Wen Jing hurriedly tried to salvage the situation and said, “The Golden Cicada Cave Abode should be near the spiritual mountain. I never had much interaction with him, so I’ve never explored it. It is hard to find a weakness in him. For Connate lifeforms like me and him, who were born from the Primordial World, we must have some life-saving methods to be able to survive so many disasters to this day. Such methods will not appear in front of others. However, I schemed against him just now. After the Sea God asked me to see him off, I secretly snatched two wisps of his essence soul. In order to prevent him from suspecting, I destroyed a wisp of her essence soul in front of him and injured him further. I do not want to cause trouble for you. There’s... still one wisp here.”

Daoist Wen Jing shook her hand gently. A wisp of blood energy lingered on her fingertips and condensed into a small Blood Cicada.

Li Changshou looked at Daoist Wen Jing with admiration and smiled. “You really can make me... and the Great Daoist Master feel at ease.”

Beside him, the Great Daoist Master nodded with a smile.

Although he had the urge to criticize her for her dirty tricks, he just had to maintain a smile at this point.

Li Changshou waved his horsetail whisk, and the blood cicada floated in front of the Great Daoist Master.

“Great Daoist Master, is this useful?”

“It’s useless.” The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “It’s not difficult to know where he is. Why don’t you leave this with Wen Jing?”

“Yes,” Li Changshou replied respectfully and returned the blood cicada...

Uh, where are the mosquitoes?

A few question marks appeared above Li Changshou’s head as he looked at the still afterimage that was left behind.

The Great Daoist Master raised his chin outside the hall. Li Changshou turned his head and saw Daoist Wen Jing running out the door again. She stuck her head out and looked over. For some reason, she looked a little... emotional. Could it be because the Great Daoist Master called her name?

Li Changshou sighed and said, “I’m here to discuss serious matters. Why are you always running out?”

Buzz ~

“Speak.” “Blabla ~”

Li Changshou silently took out a scroll from his sleeve and threw it out.

He chided, “Calm down.”

The Great Daoist Master could not help but ask curiously, “What is that?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “That’s just a painting of mine. I want to see if I can make her return to normal.”

“Oh?”

The Great Daoist Master immediately got interested...

“Great Daoist Master, it’s not appropriate to be interested.” Li Changshou hurriedly stopped the Great Daoist Master. A few sounds could be heard outside the door. The painting had been torn into pieces by Daoist Wen Jing.

After a while, Daoist Wen Jing floated back. Although she was still acting coquettish and did not dare to look at the Great Daoist Master, she could already communicate normally.

Yada yada.

Daoist Wen Jing told him everything she knew about Jin Chanzi.

Li Changshou made slight adjustments to the battle plan according to the information.

Daoist Wen Jing stayed there for two hours before leaving reluctantly. Before she left, she even bowed to Li Changshou.

Although the Great Daoist Master was there today and had attracted all of Daoist Wen Jing’s attention, Daoist Wen Jing still sensed something unusual before she left.

The vigor of the Sea God’s body seemed to be the purest and densest...

True form?

Daoist Wen Jing’s heart skipped a beat. Then, she understood something. If the Great Daoist Master was not beside him, the Sea God’s true body would not have appeared...

This is probably Ren School.

With a faint sigh, Daoist Wen Jing left the South Continent silently and returned to the place where her incarnation had gone.

If she had guessed correctly, there would be a good show coming up. It might even alarm the Saints of the Western Sect.

She had just said that she had vaguely heard a few disciples and Deputy Sect Leaders of the Western Sect discussing that the Golden Cicada was closely related to the Western Sect. The Saint had the intention to take the Golden Cicada in as his disciple and remove all traces of it being a ferocious beast.

How did they do it?

It was actually very simple. Before the Primordial World was destroyed by the dragons and phoenixes, there were no other forms of ferocious beasts. It was only during ancient times that there was a distinction between the Connate lifeforms that survived.

Those with strength, background, Dharma treasures and vast connections were also known as Connate lifeforms.

As for those who had strength but no background, lacked Dharma treasures, and were antisocial, they were known as the Primordial Beasts. They were abandoned by the Heavenly Dao and gradually purged by the hundred ancient races.

As long as the Golden Cicada successfully became a disciple of a Saint, he could be transformed from a Connate ferocious beast to a Connate life form.

Daoist Wen Jing was not envious of such matters.

It was just a title. It was not as important as her Great Daoist Master.

“Wen Jing... Hmph, I’ll make you call me Queen next time! Hahahaha!”

Buzz

After Daoist Wen Jing left, the Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou fell into deep thought.

“There’s an eighty percent chance that the two Uncle-Masters from the Western Sect will be alarmed if we touch the Golden Cicada.” The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du frowned slightly. “From the looks of it, Changshou, you have to kill the Golden Cicada. If the Saint of the Western Sect appears, I can still use the Taiji Painting to block him. However, you have to remember that once the Saint’s Dao runes appear, you have to stop immediately. That way, he will not be considered a disgrace to the Saint.”

Li Changshou nodded solemnly although he wanted to ask him to forget it.

However, it was a mission given by the Saint. It was impossible for him to enjoy the protection of the Saint without giving anything.

The risk that he had to take this time was already a necessary condition. What he could do was to do his best to turn that matter into his own opportunity... “Great Daoist Master,” Li Changshou said, “What level is the strength of the Western Saint at?”

“This...” The Great Daoist Master thought for a while and raised his hand, pointing it at the roof beam. The Taiji Painting appeared at the roof beam and completely enveloped the place. The Great Daoist Master said seriously, “I’ll take this opportunity to tell you about the strength of the Saint.” He explained, “When the Primordial World was created, the strongest Saint in the world was the Great God Pangu. However, the Great God Pangu endured the karma of splitting open the sky. He sacrificed himself to help the countless True Spirits in the Chaos Sea, which resulted in the current Primordial World.”

“The Great God Pangu had obtained the Primordial Chalice from the chaos. He is the Boundless Saint of the Primordial Dao. He is also the only Great Dao known to the Primordial World. Now, Teacher, my two Uncle-Masters, and Uncle-Master Jie Yin from the Western Sect are working hard in that direction...”

Li Changshou could not help but find it strange that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du only mentioned the four Saints today.

He asked, “Then, the other two Saints...”

“Don’t worry. Listen to me carefully. I should be telling you this.”

The Great Daoist Master took a sip of tea and said slowly, “After the Great God Pangu died, the Great Dao directly appeared in the original world. There were six strongest experts in the world who wanted to pursue the position of the Great Dao Saint. There are also strong and weak experts among the six. The Dao Ancestor, Hong Jun, and the Fiend Ancestor, Luo Hou, were the strongest. The Ancestral Dragon and the Primordial Phoenix were second. The names of the other two experts had been erased from the Great Dao. According to his teacher’s speculation, they should be the Connate Godfiends that the Great God Pangu had killed during the opening of the world.”

“At that time, the three old masters of the Dao Sect had not cultivated for long. Although they had the protection of the Heaven Splitting Merit, their realms were slightly inferior to the six experts. The person who had instigated the first Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation was the Fiend Ancestor, Rahula. He had used the resentment of living beings to forcefully cultivate the Ten Thousand Spirit True Spirit. After the Dragon-Phoenix War ended and the Primordial World was destroyed, the Demon Ancestor, Rahula, suddenly revealed his ferocious claws and teeth. He wanted to destroy the Primordial World and trace back to the Great Dao to pursue the opportunity to attain the Dao. At that time, the Ancestor of the Dao Sect, who had been cultivating in secret and did not care about the affairs of the world, stood up and fought with Rahula. In the end, Rahula was killed in the Aparagodānīya Continent. The spirit roots and spirit meridians of the Aparagodānīya Continent were shattered because of the battle. The current Aparagodānīya Continent is formed by the Dao Ancestor using his great Dharma powers.” Li Changshou nodded slightly when he heard that. Such a secret could not be seen in the ancient books... although he had seen many versions in his previous life.

The Great Daoist Master continued, “When the six old masters became Saints in the ancient times, the two Uncle-Masters of the Western Sect used their grand aspirations to borrow the merit of the Heavenly Dao and become Saints. One of the most important wishes was not to save all living beings but to revive the Western Sect. The two Uncle-Masters of the Western Sect are now risking their lives to make the Western Sect stronger. They even resort to unscrupulous means and owe the Heavenly Dao karma! Do you think that the Western Sect is going overboard by using the ferocious beasts and demons to cause trouble?”

Li Changshou blinked. Could there be something more overboard? The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “In ancient times, these two Uncle-Masters dug up the Spirit Roots of the Middle Continent and extracted the spiritual energy of the Major Chiliocosm. They saw a treasure and found some Connate lifeforms. They told them they were fated with the Western Sect and forced them to join them. If Third Uncle-Master had not stood up and waved the four Immortal Vanquishing Swords, perhaps half of the immortals of Jie School would have been fated guests of the Western Sect! Hahahaha!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

It was similar to what he knew.

He asked, “Great Daoist Master, is there a huge difference in strength between the six Saints?”

“It’s hard to say. It’s related to the strength of the six Saints before they became Saints. It’s also related to the Connate treasures that they each wield.” The Great Daoist Master cleared his throat and smiled.

“After the last battle of ancient times, our Dao Sect’s ancestor obtained the opportunity to become a Saint. I heard from Teacher that the Dao Ancestor could have forcefully broken through the Heavenly Dao and entered the Primordial Chaos Great Dao Saint realm before the Heavenly Dao completely manifested. However, if the Dao Ancestor did that, the Primordial World would quickly collapse...”

“It was the Dao Ancestor who had abandoned the position of the Saint of the Primordial Chaos Great Dao and used the Creation Jade Disc to perfect the Heavenly Dao. He had gradually integrated himself into the Heavenly Dao to make up for the lack of the Heavenly Dao and protect the Primordial World and the trichiliocosm.” “Therefore, the Dao Ancestor is both a Saint and not a Saint. He could be called a Heavenly Dao Saint and is the most special.”

“The six Saints are all disciples of the Dao Ancestor. However, the two Uncle-Masters of the Western Sect are just in-name disciples.”

“In ancient times, the Dao Ancestor divided the Primordial Violet Qi in the Purple Cloud Palace. That was the opportunity to become a Saint. At that time, the person closest to the Great Dao Saint realm was our... Ahem, my teacher.”

“Teacher was originally unwilling to fuse with that wisp of Primordial Violet Qi. However, if he wanted to become a Saint of the Great Dao, he had to break through the barrier of the Heavenly Dao and fight against the Dao Ancestor.”

“Since he was helpless, Teacher had no choice but to fuse with the Primordial Violet Qi and establish a sect. That is also the reason that my teacher is almost not restrained by the Heavenly Dao. He can do whatever he wants. After establishing the Ren School and accepting me as his disciple, he stopped caring about the other matters.”

“Compared to Teacher, Second Uncle-Master’s realm and Third Uncle-Master’s are similar. They are just slightly weaker than Teacher. Therefore, he is not considered to be deeply restrained by the Heavenly Dao.”

“After all, they all had Heaven-splitting Merit. Uncle-Master Jie Yin of the Western Sect should be in the same realm as the two Uncle-Masters. However, Uncle-Master Jie Yin does not have killing treasures such as the Four Immortal Vanquishing Swords and the Pangu Banner. He also doesn’t have the protection of the Taiji Painting or the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. Therefore, he is indeed slightly weaker.”

“The Goddess has a red embroidered ball. If a Saint touches it, he would be injured. If a Zenith Heaven Immortal touches it, he will die. Although the Goddess relied on merit to become a goddess, her overall strength is only slightly weaker than Uncle-Master Jie Yin. There’s also another person, Uncle-Master Zhun Ti...”

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “If we meet the Saint this time, it will probably be him.”

The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and said, “Yes, that Uncle-Master’s Seven Wonder Tree is quite unique. However... you don’t have to be afraid. Just do it.”

Li Changshou immediately felt more confident.

It seemed that it was time to test his escape technique again...

...

At the same time, in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, Ao Yi, who had just returned to this place, did not delay for a single moment. He returned the troops and hurriedly returned to his bedroom.

He took off his armor and waved the maidservant away. He walked to the table in the corner that was carved out of jade and slowly opened the scroll in his hand.

This...

This is!

“Uh, the ‘Steadiness Sutra’? Anonymous?”

Ao Yi blinked and started reading attentively as he decided to give it a try.
