Chapter 244 Going to Heaven!

What is the Jade Emperor here for?

Li Changshou watched as the Jade Emperor’s incarnation flew into the sky. The doubts in his heart grew.

What had he been doing with the Jade Emperor for the past two days?

He had been shopping, chatting, traveling, playing with water, and traveling around with him.

He, a new Essence Immortal realm disciple of the Immortal Du Sect, the leading advisor of the dragon race, the Sea God of the South Ocean, and the Little Daoist Master of Ren School, had actually become a male playmate for two days?

This…

Could it be that before I become an official in the Heavenly Courts, I have to sit for a final assessment, which is to accompany the Jade Emperor on a trip?

There have been too many confusing behaviors these days…

“Three years later.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and began to plan carefully. That was the only valuable information that the Jade Emperor had given him after his “inspection”.

The decree would be issued three years later. That was much earlier than he had expected.

Didn’t they say that the decree would take one to two hundred years to be formed? Could it be that they had activated the Heavenly Dao download speed-accelerating passage and arranged it in advance?

However, it was not a bad idea to allow the Heavenly Courts to officially interfere with the dragon race.

A small plan that he had made decades ago could be used in advance…

Li Changshou waited for a while. The mosquito that had been hiding in the distance carefully flew over and landed on Li Changshou’s shoulder.

“Lord, that Merit Incarnation just now is…”

“Don’t ask too much about some things and some people, don’t ask too much. When it’s time for you to know, I will let you know.”

Li Changshou said warmly. Daoist Wen Jing immediately had an answer.

Daoist Wen Jing said directly, “It’s my fault for being nosy. My Lord, the West Ocean Dragon Palace is about to select thirty-six dragons to join the factions of the Three Sects. Half of them will have to join six factions of Ren School. This is the plot of the Western Sect. It was proposed by a ferocious spirit named Jin Chan who is similar to me. This batch of dragon children will be controlled by the Western Sect. They will find a chance to anger the Three Sects and cause the dragon race to be isolated and helpless.”

“Yes.” Li Changshou nodded slowly and said, “Sorry to trouble you.”

“This is something that is within my means. I’ll take my leave.”

The Blood Mosquito transformed into a sanguine cloud and gradually dissipated.

Li Changshou added a shot of True Samadhi Flames to completely burn the clouds, leaving no traces behind.

Daoist Wen Jing seems to have changed a lot, huh?

How could it be so easy?

As the saying went, a leopard never changes its spots. Daoist Wen Jing was just standing in front of him and putting on the behavior that he wanted to see. Li Changshou would never believe that such a vicious spirit would turn kind after being taught some ideologies about success.

After checking the various parts of the Sea God Temple, the paper effigy quietly returned to the small underground paper effigy courtyard and sat down beside the Acacia Tree. In the mosquito cave at the foot of the mountain, Daoist Wen Jing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened her long and narrow phoenix eyes. There was a hint of doubt in her eyes.

If she had guessed correctly just now, that incarnation that was almost entirely made of merit should be the child of the Dao Ancestor, the incarnation of the Jade Emperor Hao Tian who was of the same generation as the Saint…

Jade Emperor, Ren School, Sea God…

The benefits that the Sea God had mentioned to her when she first came into contact with the Sea God of the South Ocean were now revealed in front of her.

Daoist Wen Jing gradually could not understand the situation now.

“Hmph!”

I’ll follow you for a few years and see what happens later.

However, what that fellow said previously did make sense.

My pursuit…

What have I been pursuing all these years?

Daoist Wen Jing’s eyes gradually became empty and confused. She slowly turned from sitting cross-legged to lying on her side and gradually curled up…

The Cave Abode was a little empty. Only the sound of water dripping could be heard.

Fortunately, Li Changshou had only given her a few minor questions back then. If he gave the three ultimate questions — ‘Who am I?’ ‘Where am I from?’ ‘Where am I going?’…

The consequences would be unimaginable.

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation left Anshui City. His entire soul was filled with energy and he felt extremely comfortable.

It’s actually so interesting to patrol the mortal world with my beloved subordinate Changgeng

The Jade Emperor chuckled and did not rush back to the Heavenly Courts. Instead, he rode a cloud towards the northeast and used his immortal senses to observe the lives of the mortals below.

Thinking about it carefully, my beloved subordinate Changgeng’s words seem to make sense. They don’t reveal any sharpness, but they are thought-provoking. Impressive. Impressive.

How did my beloved subordinate Changgeng train himself to be like this?

If I can let all the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts learn this skill, I, the Jade Emperor, would definitely not be bored.

As he walked through the mortal world, the Jade Emperor suddenly sensed something and saw a path of cultivation.

The path was still a little blurry at that moment. It did not reveal its true shadow. The Jade Emperor had only gained some insight and could not grasp it accurately.

“Could it be that I have a chance in the mortal world?”

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation raised his eyebrows. However, he did not think too much about it. He rode a cloud and flew into the sky.

The Jade Emperor naturally understood that he had the suppression of the Heavenly Dao and would definitely not be able to enter the realm of a Saint. Furthermore, he had the protection of the Heavenly Dao and no one below the Saint’s realm could harm him.

Instead of spending all his effort on cultivation, he might as well devote himself to managing the Three Realms.

Along the way, his movements were ethereal and misty.

When the Jade Emperor returned to the Heavenly Courts, he was already at the border between the East Continent and the South Continent. Naturally, he was going to the East Heaven Gate.

At the same time, he could test the East Heaven Gate’s Heavenly Generals.

When the Jade Emperor incarnation flew near the East Gateo of the Heavenly Courts, he could not help but frown.

We’re right outside the grand East Gate of the Heavenly Courts, why is there… someone lying down on the ground?

A figure was lying on the cloud path in front of the East Gate of the Heavenly Courts. He seemed to be snoring loudly. A few Heavenly Generals guarding the gate frowned and the group of Heavenly Soldiers gritted their teeth.

Not far from the Heavenly Courts’ Gate, a few old men squatted behind a white cloud and covered their faces. Clearly, they were too ashamed to face anyone.

The young man who was lying on the ground was a Heavenly Immortal realm cultivator. Among the old men who were hiding in the distance, there was a Golden Immortal realm expert. What kind of battle is this?

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation frowned and walked forward, arriving at the East Gate of the Heavenly Courts.

The young Heaven Immortal lying on the ground even opened his eyes and glanced at the Jade Emperor’s incarnation.

“Brother Hua, did you just come back from outside?”

A Heavenly General greeted him and forced a smile. “That’s right. I went out to settle some personal matters.” The Jade Emperor incarnation asked, “What’s going on?”

“Hai, don’t mention it!”

One of the Heavenly Generals sighed and said, “This guy outside is a devoted lover. He insisted on joining the Heavenly Courts because he had taken a fancy to a fairy in the Heavenly Courts’ Jade Pool. The brothers refused to let him in. He even laid down here and started acting shamelessly!”

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation was also amused. “Which fairy is he interested in?”

A Heavenly General transmitted his voice to the front, “It’s the lantern fairy before the Queen Mother’s sedan. In the past hundred years, only this fairy has entered the East Gate of the Heavenly Courts.”

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said, “Then why didn’t you chase him away?”

“This…” The Heavenly General smiled bitterly and said, “Ten thousand years ago, the Hall of Enlightenment had sent an order. If anyone wants to become a general of the Heavenly Courts, that person must be brought for a trial in the Military Pavilion.

According to the rules, we should let him in.

However, his motive is not pure and his origins are unknown. We can’t be sure about this situation. We don’t know if we should chase him away or release him.”

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation thought about it and smiled.

“This matter is not difficult to resolve. We can bring him to the Military Pavilion for a trial first. We can let him become a Heavenly Soldier or Heavenly General. After that, he will have to abide by the Heavenly rules.

If he dares to offend the fairy from the Jade Pool, we can just sever his cultivation with lightning and destroy the mortal world, right?”

Upon hearing that, Bian Zhuang, who was lying on the ground, trembled. She opened her eyes and glared at the Jade Emperor’s embodiment.

“How… how can you be so vicious?”

The Heavenly Generals’ eyes lit up. They smiled and walked forward, asking Bian Zhuang if he wanted to join the Heavenly Courts…

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation shook his head slightly and entered.

What he said just now was just to scare the person outside.

Bian Zhuang was merely infatuated with the fairy and thus decided to head to the Heavenly Courts. He stayed at the East Gate and refused to leave. There was no need to punish him, they could just let him suffer some physical pain.

Although the Heavenly Courts lacked soldiers and major generals, they did not lack people like him. One look and they could tell that he was the pampered child of some force of the Primordial World.

Speaking of which…

A few Heavenly Generals did not even check my identity or identity token just now. They simply let me in. Tsk, everyone will receive a deduction of 300 years of merit.

In the secret underground chamber of the Little Qiong Peak. “Three years is neither long nor short.”

Li Changshou muttered. He rummaged through the treasure pouch in his sleeve and took out a pile of cloth.

Previously, Little Qiong Peak was rather poor and had some resources devoted to cultivation and trump cards. Therefore, most of the time, they would use cheap beast hide and bamboo slips for handwritten notes.

Li Changshou did not allow Ling’e to be thrifty at all because he did not want to compromise on her upbringing and allow her to suffer with him. He wanted to give her all the resources.

Now, the Little Qiong Peak was barely at the level of “Slightly Affluent Force Of The Primordial World”. Both cloth and jade talismans could be used.

After taking out a pile of cloth, Li Changshou took out another stack. He repeated it several times and scattered the pieces of cloth on the ground according to the serial numbers…

Immediately, a dense map of thoughts appeared in front of Li Changshou.

That was part of the small plan.

Creating trouble under the pretext of receiving the Heavenly Courts’ order and the Sea God’s rise to the Heavenly Courts was a strategy that Li Changshou had long set. Li Changshou had been waiting for the Jade Emperor’s orders.

That was also an important step in the matter of the Dragon race’s entry to Heaven. He needed to invite the dragon race to attend the ceremony. He wanted the dragon race to see the benefits of the Heavenly Courts. The power of merit had to be seen with the naked eye, and it would affect the dragon race.

He had to pay attention to whether or not that matter would expose his location. After all, it was impossible for the Deity Position to be given to the paper effigy. The Heavenly Dao must have landed on his body.

It was also his first time being a legitimate god. He did not have much experience.

Besides that, Li Changshou had to consider more…

The strategic level required him to show off and show his might. However, when it came to tactics, he had to be steady and stable. He had to be stable in order to win.

He had to take advantage of that opportunity to promote the Heavenly Courts’ prestige and increase their existence in the Primordial World.

If he arranged it well, he would be able to borrow power from various places and continue to increase the influence of the Sea God in the South Ocean.

There was no need to invite too many people later. An adequate number would be enough.

The first list of guests that he had drafted required General Dongmu to represent the Heavenly Courts.

He had to have enough Heavenly Soldiers to increase the power of the Heavenly Courts, giving others the feeling that the Heavenly Courts had developed unknowingly.

For the dragon race, Ao Yi had to be present. The more experts whom Ao Yi could invite, the better. However, he had to be wary of spies from the Western Sect.

As for the three sects, he could invite the Qi Refinement cultivators of Golden Ao Island, such as the Goddess of Golden Light. They did not have a high position in Jie School, and they had some interactions with him. They were good candidates.

As for the Chan School, they only needed to invite Perfected Huang Long. They could also take the opportunity to ease the relationship between Perfected Huang Long and the dragon race.

It was not appropriate for experts like Master Zhao, Fairy Yunxiao, and the Great Daoist Master to appear during such an occasion. With the South Sea God’s status, it was not worth inviting such experts to come and observe the ceremony.

It was better than anything else.

Li Changshou quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at the cloth in front of him. He curled his finger gently and dipped a brush in ink. It floated in front of him and began to write and draw.

“I’ll try again. Nothing can go wrong…”

Li Changshou had been busy in the secret underground chamber for half a year. After making sure that his plan did not have too many flaws, he began to implement it in all aspects.

First, it was time to confirm the time of issue of the decree from the Heavenly Courts.

Li Changshou took the initiative to contact General Dongmu once and wrote a report about that matter. The reply he received was that the Jade Emperor asked him to do it without any restrictions.

At that moment, the decree would be completed in two years and five months. For the sake of safety, Li Changshou delayed the estimated date for the Heavenly Court to issue a decree by another half a year.

Why did he delay it…

What if the decree was downloaded to 99% and the downloading suddenly stopped?

He had encountered that many times in his previous life!

Then, Li Changshou looked for Ao Yi and told him about it in detail.

If the Sea God of the South Sea obtained the position of a legitimate god, Ao Yi, as the Second Sect Master and the Great Guardian, would automatically receive the title of a deputy god. Although he would only be at the sixth rank, he could obtain pure Heavenly Dao karma and be protected by the Heavenly Dao.

That should be quite exciting for the dragon race.

Li Changshou repeatedly reminded Ao Yi that he had to be cautious. He could not expose that matter in advance, lest he create trouble for the Western Sect.

That was a test of Ao Yi’s ability to lie.

As the dragon race stabilized the situation, Li Changshou went to Perfected Huang Long’s Cave Abode personally using the paper effigy. He invited Perfected Huang Long to observe the ceremony that day. Perfected Huang Long agreed immediately.

As for the Goddess of Golden Light, he could ask Ao Yi to invite her. There was no need for him to make a trip there personally.

Unfortunately, there were too few people in Ren School. Even if the Grand Pure One did not have many in-name disciples, Li Changshou could not find anyone suitable to invite.

I can’t invite the founder of the sect, Perfected Dule, right?

The Sea God of the South Ocean did not know that big shot, so there was no reason for him to invite him.

“It should be enough with Perfected Huang Long supporting us.” Li Changshou sighed and began to prepare for work. However, what Li Changshou did not know was… the wind in Tushita Palace blew again.
