My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 692: Almost Broke the Bell

These immortals...

Li Changshou’s expression was solemn. He waved his hand and a ray of golden light shone from the Little Qiong Peak. The main body in the straw hut held a wooden whip.

The God Striking Whip.

With the God Striking Whip in hand, information seeped into Li Changshou’s heart. The name of the immortal who had just entered the Divine Seal Altar appeared in his heart. There was even a corresponding Deity Position.

The disciple of Jie School, Wu Xu, revealed his name on the God roll. He should be the Heavenly Speed Star of the 36 Heavenly Constellations.

The disciple of Jie School, the Dawn Immortal, revealed his name on the God roll. He should be the Heavenly Prosperity Star of the 36 Heavenly Constellations.

The disciple of Jie School, Yao Gong, was afraid that if his name was revealed on the God roll, he should be the Sun Rabbit of the twenty-eight residences and belong to the East Azure Dragon.

There were also the disciples of Jie School, Tang Tianzheng, Liu Da, Zhang Zhixiong, Sun Yi, Song Geng, Daoist Fang Ling, and Daoist Deng...

Before his body and Dao dissipated, he entered the God Conferment Platform.

At the same time, Li Changshou saw the situation of the immortals fighting before they died.

Flowing light filled the sky!

Hundreds of figures from Jie School pounced from the East Ocean.

On the other hand, Chan School had activated their array formation. They seemed to have been prepared. Chi Jingzi, Daoist Wen Shu, and the other experts attacked decisively and ambushed Jie School, catching them off guard.

However, the casualties on both sides were not too exaggerated. Dozens of people from Chan School had died. The casualties on Jie School’s side were about twice that of Chan School.

The souls that entered the God-Conferment Platform clearly had the advantage.

In the Conferred God Stage, the immortals of Jie School were enraged. They immediately wanted to take revenge on the souls of the three immortals of Chan School.

Li Changshou immediately focused his attention on the paper effigy on the God-Conferment Platform and shouted, “Hold on!”

There were a few light sounds as more than ten beams of light struck the Daoists.

The immortal bodies of these Daoists were instantly filled with immortal light. All of them stood still. The anger in their eyes quickly dissipated, and the gazes in their eyes when they looked at each other became extremely complicated.

It seemed to be purified by the light.

One of them said, “Ah, since my body has died once and my Dao has disappeared, the past will follow.”

Another immortal said, “Why do we have to fight and kill? The Dao Sects were originally born from the same roots. Now that we have escaped the Great Tribulation, there is no reason for us to oppose each other.”

“When will fighting and killing stop? There are many grudges.”

“Only by tolerating each other can we be harmonious.”

“The same Primordial World, the same dream.”

Then, the dozen or so figures held hands and sang about the Three Pure Ones, the Dao Ancestor, Nuwa, and Pangu. The scene was very harmonious, causing Li Changshou, who wanted to shout, to gradually become speechless.

Why did he say that?

Forceful reconciliation was the most fatal.

The Heavenly Dao treated living beings, no, after entering the God-Conferment Platform, it had actually become a part of the Heavenly Dao sequence. Moreover, it was completely controlled by the Heavenly Dao, and its personality had been changed...

No matter how powerful an immortal was, so what if they only had remnant souls after death?

The Dao Ancestor’s move was indeed powerful. In order to stabilize the Heavenly Dao, the immortals and gods would work in peace in the Heavenly Courts in the future. They had also put in a lot of effort.

He had to accept it.

Li Changshou did not say anything. After some thought, he sent the paper effigy closest to him to rush to the place where the two sects were confronting each other to see if he needed to mediate.

Li Changshou did not expect such a huge loss in the first battle between the two sects.

It was also because of his habitual thinking that the Dao Ancestor was maintaining the original God-Conferment script. He did not expect that the Dao Ancestor would also let his thoughts wander and break down the script himself.

The Dao Ancestor, who only cared about the results and not the process, was really more troublesome than before.

He inhaled sharply...

Could it be that the Dao Ancestor already knows what my trump card is and is anxious?

Li Changshou pondered for a while and felt that he had to be more stable. He would pretend that the Dao Ancestor did not know his trump card and maintained his current style.

There was no choice. The chances of winning were too low.

The closer he got to this moment, the more patient he had to be.

The transition between active and passive was often unintentional.

Why did such a large-scale battle erupt today?

That was starting from when the Goddess of Stone left the Cave Abode. At the end of the day, it was because of Li Jing’s special identity.

Taibai Jinxing’s foster son.

Li Jing and his son had already become famous in the Primordial World. Chentang Pass had also become the center of attention.

Although half a year had passed, the usual duties of the people at Chentang Pass had always been to restore construction and transport food and troops. However, the immortals did not forget about that place.

As a result, Child Bi Yun was accidentally killed by Nezha’s arrow. On the way to Chentang Pass in anger, Shi Ji met Nezha. The Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School and Chan School had the same judgment.

“Oh no.”

They would probably fight today!

The two sects chose the same path at the same time. The core disciples would not appear first. They would let the disciples of the Saints, who were slightly more powerful, touch them and test the waters.

The battle between Chan School and Jie School was inevitable.

That was the consensus that the immortals of both sects had accepted after the Western Sect was completely paralyzed.

To Eldest Senior Brother like Duobao and Guang Chengzi, who were in charge of teaching, making some decisions was rather difficult and had too many worries. He was afraid that he would fall into the trap of the Great Tribulation if he did not pay attention.

Everyone wanted to preserve their own vitality. No one wanted their fellow disciples to die.

Nezha did not know what to say about the confrontation between the Goddess of Stone and Nezha. He only said that he had not practiced archery on purpose and was willing to bear the responsibility and be beaten and scolded.

Li Changshou held the God Striking Whip and naturally figured out the cause and effect.

The Goddess of Stone should have been affected by the calamity at that time. It was burning with anger and directly said that it wanted to punish Nezha severely. It also wanted to go to Chentang Pass to find Nezha’s father to ask for punishment.

Nezha was immediately anxious.

The last time he killed a small dragon, the family of the small dragon came and destroyed most of Chentang Pass. In the past half a year, they had mostly repaired it.

The Goddess of Stone seemed to have a high cultivation level. If he burned down Chentang Pass, wouldn’t he implicate everyone?

“I did this. Auntie, if you want to hit me, I’ll endure it. If you want to kill me, I’ll fight you. I didn’t do it on purpose. I have no feud with your disciple. If you want to take my life because of this, I will not accept it!”

“What a sharp tongue!”

The Goddess of Stone was enraged. She grabbed the white bone sword and held the nine-section whip. She scolded Nezha, “Who’s your aunt!?!”

“Uh... Grandma?”

“You brat, I’ve made up my mind today!”

The Goddess of Stone was about to attack when Perfected Taiyi, who had been hiding at the side, could not help but jump out and mock her.

What happened next was just as Shi Ji had said. Shi Ji wanted to attack Taiyi, but Taiyi hardened his heart and activated the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier.

However, the difference was that when the Divine Flame Shield flickered, there were streams of light in the sky. Chan Du and the two immortals saw that scene.

The Goddess of Stone’s authority was neither big nor small. It was considered a top figure of Jie School. How could it be killed just like that?

The immortals of Jie School were immediately enraged and wanted to kill Taiyi. The Perfected One smiled calmly and said, “There are thousands of morals in the Primordial World. Half of the Fellow Daoists of Jie School have attacked me. Could it be that I have to stand and be beaten?”

The immortals of Jie School scolded Perfected Taiyi for being unreasonable. The first battle between the two sects began.

When Li Changshou’s paper effigy rushed over, the immortals there had already retreated. They stood separately. Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao appeared together and faced each other in front of the formation.

In front of the two sects, dozens of corpses were carried back by the immortals from both sides.

After all, only a few people could enter the God-Conferment Platform. Most of the disciples of Chan School were borderline disciples who did not have much weight. A few experts from Jie School had been schemed against.

Li Changshou did not move forward. He pondered for a while and calmly sat cross-legged on the cloud. He took out a roll of cloth and slowly spread it open, writing something on it.

The immortals of the two sects were puzzled, but they could not see through the Dao runes around Li Changshou. They guessed that it was a necessary job for the God-Conferment Master.

Which side should he help?

Actually, he could not help either side.

Jie School did not have any relatives or friends, and Chan School did not have many acquaintances.

When the dragon race suppressed Chentang Pass that day, the immortals of Chan School had arrived at an ingenious time. Coincidentally, Li Jing and the others were about to collapse. The spirit of the dragon race had been destroyed, and the Heavenly Courts had made a move.

What about today?

The moment the Goddess of Stone left the Cave Abode, she had probably activated the teleportation array formation to arrive there in such a short period of time.

The Chan School and Jie School were similar. At that moment, they had already changed from the Dao Sect’s standpoint to the respective sects’.

That was the norm of immortals. It was understandable, but Li Changshou was still a little depressed. After all, he had spent so much effort to build a team.

In the face of reality, ideals were indeed fragile.

Therefore, Li Changshou was not prepared to speak today. He only quickly drew the immortals of both sides as a record.

His presence here represented the neutral attitude of Ren School.

Guang Chengzi’s expression was cold. He stood with his hands behind his back and said firmly, “Fellow Daoists of Jie School, could it be that you can’t hold it in anymore? Are you going to destroy the Western Sect first, then Kunlun, and become the number one sect in the Primordial World?”

Daoist Duobao sighed and smiled bitterly.

“Fellow Daoist, why do you have to say that? Do you have to blame Jie School? Before the Great Tribulation, we had already decided. Why are you acting like this? You really make me feel ashamed. Today, the casualties of the immortals of Jie School are even greater. Shi Ji was burned to death by Fellow Daoist Taiyi. What should I say?”

It was rare for Perfected Taiyi to be serious about the teachings. He immediately took half a step forward on the cloud and said calmly, “If someone respects me, I will respect them. Fellow Daoist Shi Ji, since you attacked me, you should think about whether I can withstand my attacks.”

Behind Daoist Duobao, the Goddess of Wudang took half a step forward and said coldly, “Junior Sister Shi Ji died first. She must have emotions. Fellow Daoist, you are so ruthless. Have you really thought about the matter of the three sects of the Dao Sect?”

Perfected Taiyi smiled awkwardly. “I didn’t want to kill Shi Ji, but there’s a disadvantage of my Divine Flame Shield. It specializes in burning negative karma.”

“You!”

The Turtle Spirit frowned and reprimanded softly, “Fellow Daoist Taiyi, I really misjudged you. You have already taken advantage of me, but you still dare to slander Junior Sister Shi Ji!”

“I’m just telling the truth.” Perfected Taiyi waved his sleeve and a wisp of golden light spread out. “This is the merit obtained from burning Shi Ji to death. I’ll return it all. If what I said is true, please use the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder.”

The sky was quiet. There was no movement.

Most of the immortals of Jie School fell silent, but their anger did not subside.

Indeed, many disciples of the sect were not pure enough. They had many disgraceful pasts, which made them less confident.

However, the killing tribulation had already fallen. The immortal blood had already flowed. How could he turn back? How could he lower his head!?!

Daoist Duobao sighed and said, “Guang Chengzi, I’ll call you Senior Brother again today. How can I survive this Great Tribulation?”

Guang Chengzi looked down and said calmly, “Let’s rely on our own abilities and search for opportunities.”

“Alright, this is the senior brother you chose.”

Daoist Duobao said firmly, “From today onwards, the immortals of Jie School are not allowed to leave the various Immortal Islands. If they die in the Great Tribulation, their hearts will be unstable. It has nothing to do with Jie School. However, from today onwards, if Jie School does not leave the island, the immortals of Chan School will still come to the island to kill my brothers and sisters! Everyone from Jie School wants to denounce Kunlun!”

Guang Chengzi opened his eyes. There was a glint in his eyes. “Alright.”

“Let’s go,” Duobao said coldly.

Perfected Taiyi looked a little helpless. He took two steps back and stood among the immortals of Chan School with his hands behind his back.

The immortals of Chan School and Jie School looked over with hatred and indignation. However, they could only bear with it and carry the corpses of the immortals who had died in battle. They turned into streams of light and shot towards the nearest Immortal Island Dao field.

The immortals of Chan School stood quietly for a while. When they saw that no one said anything, Guang Chengzi put away the corpses of the immortals of Chan School and raised his hand to make a gesture. The immortals of Chan School rode a cloud back to the Middle Continent.

Only Nezha, Taiyi, and Perfected Yu Ding were left.

Li Jing was still on the way.

Nezha asked softly, “Master, am I... in trouble again?”

“What nonsense are you thinking?” Perfected Taiyi raised his hand and pushed Nezha’s head. “You’re not wrong. You don’t understand these now. You’ll understand when you grow up.”

Perfected Yu Ding sighed softly and did not say anything.

Perfected Taiyi looked at Li Changshou, but Li Changshou only nodded with a smile and did not say anything.

The two Perfected Ones of Chan School understood. They also knew that it was not convenient for them to talk to Li Changshou at that moment. They bowed to Li Changshou and rode a cloud towards Chentang Pass with Nezha.

Chan School and Jie School had already begun a full-scale conflict. At that moment, it was useless for Li Changshou to do any team building.

Nezha turned to look at Li Changshou’s figure sitting on the cloud and whispered, “Isn’t that our god-grandfather who helped us that day? Why didn’t he help us today?”

Perfected Taiyi smiled bitterly and said, “That’s because what we did today can’t be said to be right. Your godfather is impartial. He only stands on the right side.”

“Then, have we done wrong?”

“You can’t be wrong,” Perfected Yu Ding said warmly. “There is no absolute right or wrong in this world. Most of the time, we can only make a choice.”

Little Nezha was puzzled and clicked his tongue.

“Don’t think too much.” Perfected Taiyi looked in the direction of the East Ocean. “It’s already benevolent of Jie School to take a step back today. Compared to them, we seem a little too ruthless.”

Perfected Yu Ding said, “Senior Brother Guang Chengzi is a little helpless when the ten thousand immortals of Jie School come.”

“That’s right.” The Taiyi’s eyes flickered. “Otherwise, I wouldn’t have found an opportunity to kill Shi Ji today. We cannot be soft-hearted in this great calamity. Junior Brother, why don’t you temporarily move your Cave Abode to Qianyuan Mountain? We can stay closer so that we can take care of each other.”

Perfected Yu Ding was speechless.

In the place where the battle was taking place, there were some remnants of the spiritual energy vortex.

Li Changshou slowly stood up. He thought for a while and wrote a unique title on the completed painting.

The God-Conferment Discord.

In the painting, nearly a thousand immortals from both sides of the Chan Banner faced each other. Their corpses floated in the air, and their immortal blood stained them.

The clear world was replaced by a dim yellow color. Behind the immortals of the two sects, there were ferocious beasts. However, the ground under their feet was gray.

The Heavenly Dao was manipulating the desires of living beings.

They were all fighting for themselves.

That was the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

The evil of living beings had been stirred up by the Heavenly Dao. The immortals and gods were only ashes.

In the Primordial World, there were mystical abilities, Dharma powers, and Immortal Saints.

At the end of the day, he still could not break free from human nature. He could not escape the difference between ethics and reason.

“Forget it.”

Li Changshou shook his head. A door in his Dao heart slowly closed. In the backyard of the Li Residence, the high-ranking servant paper effigy that had existed for a long time turned into ashes and dissipated quietly.

He would protect the people.

...

On the Little Qiong Peak, Zhong Ling raised her hand and tapped the bronze mirror. The image on it slowly dissipated.

Ling’e rested her chin on her hand and sat beside the table. She was in a daze.

Youqin Xuanya whispered, “Is the Battle of Channing irreversible?”

“This is the Great Tribulation, Sister.” Zhong Ling smiled and said, “Living beings are like that. If every living being has a pure Dao heart, no matter how strong the Heavenly Dao is, it can only destroy them.”

Ling’e said softly, “Fortunately, Sister Yun Xiao did not appear today. Otherwise, Senior Brother would definitely feel really uncomfortable.”

“I don’t think so.” Zhong Ling shook her head. “Yun Xiao is ultimately a disciple of Jie School. She is also a loyal person. She will definitely have to fight Chan School in the future.

Saving Yun Xiao is the difficult part.”

Youqin Xuanya said, “I remember that Senior Brother once said that the Jade Emperor gave Fairy Yun Xiao a decree to prevent her from entering the calamity.”

“That’s just to prevent her from being driven by the calamity luck,” Zhong Ling corrected. “The calamity luck can also cause the people around her to fall into the calamity. Have you noticed? Chan School was actually quite cold to the immortals who had died. That was because they did not usually have much interaction. They are only cultivated separately. Jie School was very concerned. Many immortals had the urge to fight to the death. From this perspective, the final winner should be Chan School.”

Youqin Xuanya frowned and said, “Jie School values friendship more. Why...”

Ling’e shook her head gently and sighed. “Love is a shackle in the Great Tribulation. During the battle just now, many immortals of Chan School lit up with the Golden Light of Merit. That is the biggest problem of Jie School. There were too many dirty secrets. Just like the evil bandits in the mortal world, they are also loyal. However, they can’t be forgiven because they are loyal.”

“Ling’e is right. You can’t just look at people once.”

The Chaos Bell Spirit, Zhong Ling, looked a little helpless and smiled.

“Can’t I really suppress the luck of Jie School? Not entirely. If I can’t suppress it at that moment, I can also move forward and backward for an instant. The tripled power of the Great Dao can naturally suppress the luck of Jie School. As long as I can suppress it for an instant, I can completely freeze the luck of the sect. That’s all I have. However, I really don’t dare and I’m a little unwilling. Drink some tea. Your senior brother has a solution. His schemes are probably deeper than the Saints. You don’t have to worry. The Dao Sect’s Essence Energy will not be emptied.”

Ling’e blinked and muttered softly, “Sister Zhong, can you see what’s about to happen?”

“How is that possible!?!”

Zhong Ling waved her hand. “Our little bell does not have that ability. Otherwise, your senior brother would not have kicked it back to the Primordial World. It’s a small broken bell, a small broken bell that no one can provoke.”

As he spoke, Zhong Ling picked up the tea and took a sip. Then, she sighed softly.

Damn, I almost exploded in conversation.
