My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 409 I Have to Admit That There Is A Bet

“Dear Water God, At that time, I heard that the human race rose and the Heavenly Courts were established. There were people from the human race who could enter the Heavenly Courts to assist the Jade Emperor. They were good at scheming and making arrangements. They helped the dragon enter the Heavenly Courts. Recently, they resolved the danger of the Great Virtue Earth. I admire them very much. I obtained the Dao from the ancient times and had once followed the two demon emperors to establish the Ancient Heavenly Courts. However, because the Ancient Heavenly Courts had done many evil deeds to harm living beings, I was disheartened and gradually faded from the ancient Heavenly Courts. Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao allowed me to not be tainted by the negative karma of the demons. Half a year ago, Lu Ya came to look for me to ask for a way to survive. I promised the Demon God that I would help his son. That is the third thing. I also thought about the fact that the demons did not respect the Heavenly Courts. Therefore, I decided to give them both a plan. To the Heavenly Courts, the demons had rebelled and the Heavenly Courts could naturally clean up the remaining demons. To Lu Ya, as the son of the ancient Demon God, he could use this opportunity to beg the Jade Emperor to spare his life. I don’t have the heart to fight against the Heavenly Courts, nor do I have the heart to make things difficult for you. I can swear a Great Dao oath that I will not tell anyone about you. I can also swear a Great Dao oath that I will not interfere with the matters of the Heavenly Courts. Fellow Daoist, please be gracious and spare my life. If you are interested, I am willing to befriend you and drink with you. The rest of my life is long. How could I not know? If you don’t want to pursue this matter, please crush the jade token. I will sense it myself. That will make me feel at ease.

With respects, Bai Ze.”

“Um...”

Li Changshou muttered to himself and was about to crush the jade talisman. However, his eyes flickered. He had thought of thousands of things.

He smiled and played with the jade token in his hand.

Bai Ze seemed to know him very well... That made Li Changshou instantly think of many levels. Ling’e asked softly, “Senior Brother, is this Bai Ze the auspicious beast that you discussed with the Great Daoist Master previously?”

“Yes.” Li Changshou nodded with a smile. “I didn’t expect that Bai Ze’s mystical ability to avoid trouble is so sharp. The Great Daoist Master had just gone to investigate his whereabouts and now he’s come to beg for mercy. That’s not right. This jade talisman should have been written long ago and sent over at this time.

The mighty ancient demon general is actually willing to humble himself and live. It’s admirable.”

Ling’e chuckled and said, “Why do I feel that Senior Brother is too scary?”.

“Huh?”

“Scare the beasts, scare the beasts.” Ling’e stuck out her tongue. “Senior Brother, let’s quickly inform the Great Daoist Master that Bai Ze is here!”

Li Changshou asked, “If the one who sent the letter was really Bai Ze, why would the Great Daoist Master chase him to other places?” Ling’e suddenly thought of something and shouted, “He actually found the Immortal Du Sect. Doesn’t that mean that Bai Ze already knows about you, Senior Brother? Bai Ze is secretly threatening me. If I find trouble with him, will I expose your background to the outside world?” Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. He said, “Bai Ze’s plan is more than ten times more complicated than you think. This communication jade token is really wonderful... Look, an expert like him who could escape unscathed from the Great Magi-Demon War is also implicated by the karma of the demons. I usually teach you to be less involved in karma. Did I teach you wrongly?” “There’s naturally nothing wrong with what Senior Brother taught me!” Ling’e lowered her head and pondered for a while. Then, she asked, “Can this Senior Bai Ze sense the Great Daoist Master’s actions?”

“No,” Li Changshou said. “The Great Daoist Master has the Taiji Painting to conceal his identity. He does not even reveal his name. He will not be discovered by the heavenly secrets. If Bai Ze knows that the Great Daoist Master had gone to chase after him, he would definitely not say that.” Ling’e felt a little dizzy. She quietly sat on the meditation cushion beside her senior brother and quietly looked at the side of her senior brother’s face when he was thinking seriously... The Pill Chamber quickly fell silent. Only when Ling’e could not help but cover her mouth and yawn did Li Changshou slowly exhale. “It seems that the Great Daoist Master will be coming to our place to give us a second jade token.” “Why?” Ling’e asked in confusion. Li Changshou smiled and did not say anything. He crushed the jade token in his hand and said, “Wait here. If you have any news, inform me. I’ll settle those seniors first.”

“Oh...”

Ling’e agreed. Li Changshou closed his eyes and focused. He shifted his attention to the South Continent.

In Anshui City, Li Changshou summoned the village chief of Xiong Village, Xiong Lingli’s father, Xiong Laosan.

He asked Xiong Laosan to buy two rows of houses in the most lively place in the city and arranged for the 108 Demon soldiers to temporarily stay in the mortal world.

Li Changshou repeatedly reminded Xiong Laosan that every senior should be equipped with three guards and two maidservants. He must not be aggrieved.

Xiong Laosan immediately agreed. That was not a burden for the Sea God Sect at all.

After Xiong Laosan ran to make arrangements, Li Changshou called the two Demonic Armament commanders to him.

Although the Great Daoist Master said that the two commanders were not the strongest among the 108 Demonic Armaments, Li Changshou sensed carefully and felt that there were two mountains in front of him that emitted a faint pressure...

As expected of the survivors of the human army who had destroyed the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Cycle Star Array! “Seniors, how should I address you?” “Tian Yi,” the burly man replied softly. “Yu Yi,” the woman with the scar said softly.

Li Changshou cupped his hands and said seriously, “Senior Tianyi, Senior Yuyi, please settle down here first. This is the mortal world of the South Continent. There are not many Qi Refinement cultivators here. The temple in the city is the temple that I established. Everyone could walk around the city freely or go anywhere they wanted. The mortals in the city were especially bold. They would not be afraid even if they saw immortals or dragons. Currently, there were many countries in the human race and there were no commoners. The Qi Refinement cultivators were gathered in the Middle Continent and were generally stable. It might be beneficial to your recovery if you are tainted by some smoke and fire here.” “Thank you.” Tian Yi cupped his fists and replied. Yu Yi said, “If you can’t deal with the demons, please send us to the battlefield. This is our duty.”

“It’s fine,” Li Changshou said. “It’s a battle between the demons and the Heavenly Courts. If the demons start a war against the humans, countless immortal sects in the Middle Continent will be able to drown the demons in an instant. The two of you don’t have to worry. Just focus on recuperating in the mortal world. My avatar is in that huge temple. If there are any matters, you can send them to inform me.” The two Demon soldiers did not say anything and bowed.

Li Changshou said, “I have something to deal with today. I won’t stay here any longer. Please rest well.” Then, Li Changshou bade farewell and left, letting the Divine Envoys of the Magihumans take charge of the subsequent arrangements. When he shifted his attention away, Li Changshou saw a scene at the corner of the street.

Two female Demon Soldiers stood in front of a stall that specialized in selling women’s hair accessories with lifeless eyes. They stood quietly. The female peddler wanted to speak but did not dare to. Her expression was really complicated... With the 108 Demon soldiers in Anshui City, Li Changshou could be less worried about that place. It was a small benefit.

Later, he still had to find some meticulous Divine Envoys and temple devotees who were in charge of taking care of the food and lodging of the 108 ancient humans.

Huh?

For some reason, Li Changshou suddenly felt like he had opened a nursing home in the Primordial World. Li Changshou immediately analyzed how threatening Bai Ze was to him. Ling’e was beside him...

At first glance, he thought that she was meditating and cultivating. However, when he took a closer look, he saw that she was taking a nap.

This girl...

Li Changshou’s eyes were filled with concern. He took a piece of paper and placed it beside Ling’e’s hand. On it were the words three hundred times”. Then, he held his chin and sat in front of the Pill Furnace in a daze.

Bai Ze was a smart fellow. When he gave him the jade talisman, he must have already set up everything. How much information could a communication jade token give him? Would the other party use his real body to send a letter and hide near the Immortal Du Sect? Li Changshou immediately rejected that possibility. After all, Bai Ze’s plan was flawless. It was impossible for him to put himself in danger. Of course, to be safe, Li Changshou immediately mobilized the paper effigies outside the sect and carefully searched everywhere. He naturally did not find anything Both Bai Ze and himself would predict each other’s predictions, causing their predictions to accumulate and lead to a continuous cycle of death.

The advisor of the ancient demons was indeed extraordinary.

To fight with such an expert across space, he had to have sufficient doubts about his immediate judgment. Perhaps his current thoughts were the deduction that the other party had hinted and led him to... Li Changshou took out a portrait and lowered his head to write and draw. It was as if chains flew out from the Little Qiong Peak and spread throughout the Primordial World. There seemed to be countless phantoms in the world, hiding the only truth.

Hence, a few hours later... “Huh?”

Ling’e opened her eyes and thought that she was in a dream. She pinched the back of her hand and realized that what she saw was not fake.

At some point in time, the Pill Chamber had sunk into the mountain. At that moment, there were open scrolls floating around it. On them were densely packed words and maps. Ling’e looked carefully for a while and felt dizzy. It seemed that her senior brother was analyzing where Bai Ze was hiding. Li Changshou was standing in front of a map of the five continents of the Primordial World. He stood with his hands behind his back and frowned.

“You’re awake?”

“Ah.” Ling’e immediately jumped up. When she saw the note in her hand, she opened it and sighed softly. Li Changshou praised, “This Bai Ze is really an expert.” “Senior Brother, is Bai Ze very powerful? He only gave us a jade token. Can he deduce anything?”

Li Changshou said, “No, as long as all the information has to be analyzed together and analyzed from different angles after being disassembled, many conclusions can be drawn. The news he gave was just right.” Ling’e tried her best to keep up with her senior brother’s train of thought. She wondered, “However, if he doesn’t know that we’re discussing how to deal with him in the valley, wouldn’t he be exposing himself by taking the initiative to give this letter?”

“That’s right. He deliberately exposed himself.”

“Why?”

“Because he was afraid, and because he had once worked for the demons.”

Li Changshou said, “I’m already an absolute enemy of the demons. A mighty figure like the demons is alive and will be implicated by the karma of the demons sooner or later. How can the Jade Emperor and I tolerate him? He should know that to be safe, I might ask the Great Daoist Master to kill him in advance. Therefore, Bai Ze wants to be the first to send this jade token over. He wants to give in and express his goodwill to me. He wants to see if he can turn enemies into friends and become confidantes so that he can avoid calamity.”

“Why not threaten us?” “Because it’s not a threat,” Li Changshou said. “If he points out our background, we will admit it generously and move next door to the Tushita Palace. In that case, my fear of him will turn into hatred. I will end his life.”

Ling’e raised her hand to support her forehead. “Then, Senior Brother, what should we do now?”

“Wait for the Great Daoist Master... Speak of the devil.”

Li Changshou took out a jade token and slowly rose the Pill Chamber from the mountain. He smiled and said, “If I’m not wrong, there must be a letter from Bai Ze in the jade token that the Great Daoist Master brought back. If we think of the letter negatively, he would be saying that he had left the Primordial World and entered the Chaos to drift. He could also take the initiative and make a bet with us. If we can find him, he will serve Ren School or the Heavenly Courts. If we can’t find him, we will let him go. He could also take a risk and pretend to fight with us step by step to see if he could fake his death and escape. Moreover, this letter must have been written half a year ago.” Ling’e pursed her lips and felt that she had copied the Steadiness Sutra for nothing. “Senior Brother, why didn’t he hide?”

Li Changshou said, “It’s not that he’s unwilling, but he can’t. Those who are best at deductions in the Primordial World, regardless of the Heavenly Dao or the Dao Ancestor, are firstly, the Saint of Ren School, followed by the Connate Cardinal treasure, the Taiji Painting, then the other five Saints. The fourth is the Great Daoist Master who controls the Taiji Painting, and the fifth is Imperial Lord Fuxi, who picked up the Eight Trigrams Disc. Bai Ze’s ability lay in his perception of danger. Unless he completely leaves the range of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, he can only do that. Well, he is the renowned ancient demon general. Karma is not something that he can shake off easily. I deduced that he is either not good at fighting and did not dare to leave the place protected by the Heavenly Dao or he cannot bear to leave this prosperous world and did not want to live alone outside the world. There’s a high chance that it’s the former.” Clang! Clang! Clang! With a few bangs, the Pill Chamber appeared on the surface of the mountain again. The surrounding array formations disappeared. The Great Daoist Master clicked his tongue in wonder. He was sizing up the Pill Chamber not far away.

Li Changshou bowed to the Great Daoist Master and smiled. “Senior Brother, did you bring back the letter that Bai Ze left behind?”

“You really guessed it.” The Great Daoist Master was a little awkward. He said seriously, “I tracked him for half a day and wandered around the various Sectors. I found sixteen places where he had appeared and saw many begging words that he had left behind. The auspicious beast is really good at hiding. He has also deceived the Taiji Painting. However, if we continue to investigate, we would still be able to catch him even if we spend eight to ten years. Recently, he left behind a jade token and left a message for me to bring it back for you to observe. Everything will be decided.”

Li Changshou asked, “Great Daoist Master, did you see it on the way?” “Hahahaha, I was curious.” The Great Daoist Master waved his hand. “When I opened the jade token, the jade token was destroyed a moment ago. The contents of the jade token are rather interesting. He said that he was in the five continents and had placed four fake bodies and one main body. If we can find his main body in an hour, he will be willing to be beaten and killed. He will be willing to sacrifice his life for Ren School. If we can’t find him, he wants us to let him go this time. He will hide in the Chaos Sea for three thousand years. He said that the only information he can give you is the place where he is hiding. It is the safest place.”

Ling’e could not help but support her forehead with one hand. She whispered, “Senior Brother... just live with this auspicious beast.” Li Changshou said seriously, “In other words, there’s still a moment left?” The Great Daoist Master gave him a thumbs-up. “Believe in yourself. You can do it, Changshou!”

“I...”

Li Changshou slowly took a deep breath and smiled. “Senior Brother, Ling’e, let’s deduce where his main body is hiding. There’s no need to consider those fake bodies. They are just smoke screens that he released. He said that they are the safest place. I have already listed about 126 places...”

“Okay.”

“Senior Brother, should I come too?”

“Yes, Ling’e, you’re especially important now. Use all your intelligence!”

Then, the Great Daoist Master, Li Changshou, and Ling’e returned to the Pill Chamber.

Li Changshou sat on the meditation cushion in the middle. The Great Daoist Master placed his hands behind his back and strolled in front of the scrolls that Li Changshou had just written. Ling’e pinched her chin with her fingers and thought about everything Not long after, Li Changshou wrote down the names of seven places and said, “Choose one of them.” Ling’e hurriedly asked, “Why are there no Heavenly Courts among the seven places that Senior Brother wrote?”

The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “The Heavenly Courts has the Grand Supreme Elder guarding it. It’s not far from the Grand Pure One.”

Ling’e hurriedly hid behind Li Changshou and whispered, “I’ve said too much. Great Daoist Master, don’t blame me.” Li Changshou said, “These seven places are the seven most likely hiding places. Let’s say the most suspicious place at the same time. We have to say it at the same time. According to our own thoughts, I’ll count from three. Three, two, one... The place where the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother reincarnated!” The Great Daoist Master said, “He might be in Anshui City.”

Ling’e said, “Kunlun Mountain, the Cave Abode of the Immortal Du Sect’s founder!”

“Senior Brother, let’s go!” Li Changshou immediately stood up. “Listen to Ling’e and go to Perfected Du’e’s residence!” “Oh? Why should we listen to her?” The Great Daoist Master was a little confused. Ling’e was also stunned. She pointed at the tip of her nose and could not speak coherently. “Listen, listen to me?”

e

“There’s no time. Senior Brother, open the map! I’ll explain later!”

IT Tsk, I was the one who played a fool.

On Kunlun Mountain, there was a certain Cave Abode that was free because the owner of the Cave Abode had gone out to visit a friend. In the side cave filled with different types of “clouds”, a middle-aged Daoist with a goatee lay on a white cloud and chuckled while pinching his beard.

An hour was about to pass. In terms of understanding the Water God, Bai Ze felt that only the Water God could surpass him in the Primordial World.

Bai Ze had really gone all out this time.

He would spend half a year to deduce all the options that the Water God could think of according to the Water God’s habits and deductions. Then, he would do the opposite and use the words’ the safest place ‘to set the rules of the game... Bai Ze would definitely win this question!

If the Water God’s choice was on the tenth level, ordinary intelligent people would think about it on the fifth level...

He should have fought with the Water God on the tenth or ninth level, but he took the initiative to take a step back and returned to the fifth level.

It was impossible to be too high or too low. Only this place was the safest place for the Water God to think!

“Hahahahahaha!”

As Bai Ze thought about that, he lay on his side and laughed loudly. His goatee was shiny, and his expression was one of satisfaction. He could not wait to see the expression of the Water God, who was playing with his incarnation every day, when he found his fake back!

An hour had passed!

“Senior Brother, is this the ancient demon general?”

A lark-like female voice sounded behind him. Bai Ze’s hair stood on end, and his essence soul seemed to have frozen.

Another man sighed softly. “I should have made the right bet. Senior Brother, please take action...” “Okay.”
