Chapter 435 The Beginning of the Tribulation

The heavenly secrets were in chaos, and the great calamity was about to arrive. Li Changshou, who had the “wind vane” of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, was caught off guard. The bolt of lightning in front of Bai Ze had not only shocked Bai Ze, but it had also shocked Li Changshou.

The appearance of the lightning was naturally not a spoiler, but a warning from the True Purple Heaven Divine Thunder! The Heavenly Dao was warning Bai Ze to take it easy when deducing the heavenly secrets and calculating the dangers. If he interfered with the operation of the tribulation, the real Purple Heaven Divine Thunder would land on his head.

Li Changshou hugged his arms and pondered for a while. A strange thought surfaced in his mind.

Why now?

Wasn’t the Great God-Conferment Tribulation caused by the Jade Emperor being insulted by the disciples of the three sects and going to the Purple Cloud Palace to complain to the Dao Ancestor? IT If I analyze from this perspective…

At that moment, the power of living beings in the world had reached a certain threshold. From there, the Heavenly Dao would send down a great calamity. However, the great calamity was still brewing and had yet to determine the form and content of the calamity.

The operating space inside… Crack!

Another bolt of lightning as thick as a thumb appeared out of thin air, illuminating the Black Pool Peak and smashing it in front of Li Changshou’s toes! IT What?!

I can’t even think about it?

Li Changshou immediately dismissed the bold idea in his heart. He bowed to the sky from afar and was also covered in sweat. After a while, Li Changshou and Bai Ze squatted beside the pool. They placed their hands in their sleeves and wanted to speak, but they hesitated. If I say something wrong… “Mr. Bai.” Just as Li Changshou spoke, Bai Ze immediately shivered and looked around, his eyes filled with fear. Bai Ze asked softly, “Water God, what were you thinking about just now?”

“Can you say that…” “Oh, right, right. If I say it, the two of us will definitely turn into ashes.” Bai Ze heaved a sigh of relief. At that moment, he even spoke carefully, not knowing how to start the topic. Li Changshou asked again, “Mr. Bai, do you have the urge to… leave this place?” “No.” Bai Ze carefully sensed for a while and shook his head seriously. “I feel quite comfortable here.”

“Because of your mystical abilities?”

“Yes, this place makes me feel extremely comfortable.” Li Changshou could not help but feel relieved. There should not be any danger in the Immortal Du Sect. However, Bai Ze’s mystical abilities were closely related to the heavenly secrets. He could not rule out the possibility that Bai Ze’s senses were messed up because of the chaos in the heavenly secrets… Bai Ze sized Li Changshou up carefully and smiled. Water God, are you panicking?” “No, it’s just a little sudden.” Li Changshou smiled and continued to squat in deep thought. No matter what, the calamity had already appeared.

The heavenly secrets were blinded, and the deduction and divination techniques were no longer reliable. The Heavenly Dao had just warned him and Bai Ze.

All signs pointed to the fact that his future path would definitely not be easy. The two of them squatted for a while before Bai Ze said, “Why don’t we discuss it with the Saint?”

ME “The Saints give me instructions directly if anything happens. Forget it. I’ll return to the Heavenly Courts to see what’s going on. Mr. Bai, please help me look after the Immortal Du Sect.”

ME “Water God, don’t worry too much.” Bai Ze said seriously, “There should still be a period of time before the great calamity descends. At this moment, it is just a tribulation. Presumably, the person who is good at deducing has already sensed the changes in the heavenly secrets. There are many experts in the Three Sects of the Dao Sect. They should have sensed the difference.”

“I’m just going to the Heavenly Courts to see if there are any abnormalities. You don’t have to worry, Mr. Bai. I understand the logic of making many mistakes.” Li Changshou nodded with a smile and rode a cloud back to the Little Qiong Peak.

He first reminded his master and junior sister not to go out for the time being. If the two of them had any strange ideas, they had to discuss it with him before deciding whether to do it or not. Then, Li Changshou shifted his attention between the paper effigies and rushed to the Heavenly Courts first. The Heavenly Courts was an important place of the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao was in turmoil and the heavenly secrets changed, the Heavenly Courts should be the first to bear the brunt…

His immortal senses spread out from the Water God Residence to various places. Li Changshou saw the spiritual pearl that was wrestling happily with the Heavenly General. He saw the patrolling Heavenly Soldiers passing by in the distance and the fairies who were laughing happily… Everything seemed normal.

There was nothing unusual in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Golden light surrounded it and auspicious signs accompanied it. The Jade Emperor’s main body was lying quietly inside, experiencing a “real dream”.

Li Changshou carried his horsetail whisk and flew out of the Water God Residence on a cloud. If not for the fact that he was afraid of making the Heavenly Generals guarding the Water God Residence uncomfortable, he would have wanted to multitask. He would have used a few paper effigies to fly out of the Divine Residence and search quickly. ME Beside the Heavenly River, the Heavenly Gate, the Tushita Palace, and the plantation center of the Heavenly Courts’ greenhouses…

Everything was as usual. There were no abnormalities.

As there were not many experts in the Heavenly Courts, they had yet to discover the chaos in the heavenly secrets which could not be deduced easily. IT Am I too sensitive?

Li Changshou muttered to himself.

If the Great God-Conferment Tribulation happened 800 to 1,000 years later, would it be normal for Tribulation Clouds to appear and seal the heavenly secrets? IT Has the Heavenly Dao had activated a high-end ‘Great Tribulation’ mode outside of the energy-saving, ordinary, and performance mode? From the previous bolt of lightning, he could tell that the God-Conferment Tribulation was set by the Heavenly Dao…

To be safe, Li Changshou’s paper effigy had already taken action.

A paper effigy went to look for Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long. A paper effigy rushed to the East Ocean to visit the Dragon Palace and the Three-Immortal Island. Li Changshou’s attention was divided into various parts. He searched for the answers that he wanted to know in the South Ocean and the mortal world. A moment later, Li Changshou’s paper effigy rode a cloud in the sky and looked down at the ground.

It was the northeast part of the South Continent. Li Changshou’s paper effigy had just “awakened” and had already discovered that situation when his immortal senses probed outside.

On a vast plain, a large number of mortals lined up and followed a river towards the northwest.

Half of the mortals were dressed in leather armor and bronze armor. They held long halberds and sabers.

Half of them were dressed in rags and were being chased away like cattle. Slaves?

Although the mortal world of the South Continent had existed for tens of thousands of years, because it was too vast, the “strength” of mortals was limited. The development of various regions varied.

However, most of the tribes and countries had not abandoned the “slave system”. Most of the prisoners of war would become slaves, and the children of slaves would become slaves.

The mortals being escorted below were captured slaves after a huge battle. They were being sent to a newly-established tribe. The Shang tribe.

Li Changshou scanned with his immortal senses and realized that a Heaven-Worshipping Feast had just ended in the Shang Tribe. A burly man was helping a beautiful female priest down the platform.

Contract.

In the past few years, Li Changshou had failed to keep an eye on the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother because of the tribulation. After all, Big Sister Kong Xuan had been guarding the place. Nothing would happen. There should be hundreds of years to go from the Shang Tribe to the Shang Nation. Is the appearance of the calamity related to this? Li Changshou secretly observed for a while. When the other paper effigies arrived at their respective destinations, he collected his thoughts and began to visit his friends. With Li Changshou’s hint, Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long effortlessly pinched their fingers and deduced. Then, they were shocked to discover that the heavenly secrets were in chaos. Zhao Gongming and Perfected Huang Long were old spirits who had experienced two major calamities. At that moment, they were completely shocked. Zhao Gongming was very calm. Previously, the Grandmaster of Heaven had already pointed out that matter.

Perfected Huang Long hurriedly left the Cave Abode with Li Changshou. Li Changshou’s paper effigy naturally returned to the South Continent. Perfected Huang Long went straight to the Jade Void Palace at Kunlun Mountain to remind the experts of Chan School.

Li Changshou had expected that.

What surprised Li Changshou was that before he arrived at the Three-Immortal Island, Fairy Yun Xiao was already waiting on the surface of the ocean on a cloud when he came out of the Dragon Palace…

ME Before he could say anything, Fairy Yun Xiao said gently, “The situation is not right. The heavenly secrets have been blinded. The tribulation is brewing. I don’t know where it should be.” Li Changshou could not help but smile warmly. He had originally wanted to inform Fairy Yun Xiao, but she had reminded him.

She also said that the Great Tribulation was about to arrive and that Li Changshou should try his best to avoid going out. It would be best if his main body could go to the Heavenly Courts.

Li Changshou agreed with a smile and listened carefully to Yun Xiao’s concerned words. As the paper effigy was there, Li Changshou did not stroll and chat with Yun Xiao. Instead, he transformed it into the form of a paper doll and made it float into Fairy Yun Xiao’s hand. Li Changshou’s voice sounded from the paper effigy. ME “I’ve been thinking about it for many years. I want to be a Cosmic Dharma treasure to send letters, but I’ve never gotten the hang of it.

This paper effigy can be used as a messenger. If there’s anything urgent, come and discuss it with me immediately.” Li Changshou spoke seriously, and Fairy Yun Xiao listened attentively.

She took out a treasure box and placed the paper effigy inside. Li Changshou pulled his attention away and used the paper effigy as a voice transmission. He did not use it to pry into anything… Ahem, he still had to maintain a distance and mysteriousness.

After bidding farewell to Fairy Yun Xiao, Li Changshou’s attention returned to the secret chamber of the Little Qiong Peak. The preparations that he had made over the years were starting to come in handy! Although he could not brazenly create a “Encyclopedic Guide to the Great God-Conferment Tribulation”, Li Changshou’s plans could already be carried out step by step.

Firstly, he had to make a detailed activation plan…

“Huh?”

Li Changshou’s immortal senses captured the commotion in the straw hut beside the spiritual lake. His master, Daoist Priest Qi Yuan, had changed into an indigo robe and was holding a horsetail whisk. He flew out of the straw hut and headed towards the Pill Chamber.

In the straw hut next door, Ling’e looked down from the window and looked at her master’s back in confusion.

Master is going out? Li Changshou was instantly alarmed. He took the initiative to welcome his master from the secret chamber and brought him to the Pill Chamber.

“Changshou.” Qi Yuan smiled and said, “I’m going to the Heavenly Courts to report on my duties. You previously instructed me to inform you if anything happens.” IT Go to the Heavenly Courts? Report? At this time?

Li Changshou hurriedly said, “Master, just don’t report for your duties. I’ll help you inform them in the Hall of Enlightenment.”

“How can that do?” Qi Yuan frowned and said, “You have to follow the rules regarding the matters of the Heavenly Courts! Am I not allowed to leave the sect now?”

Li Changshou was speechless. ME “There are many things to do in the Heavenly Courts now. Master, why don’t you wait a few days…

Go, go. Don’t stare at me and touch my horsetail whisk.”

ME Qi Yuan said, “I’m just going to report to the Hall of Enlightenment. You’re the legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts. I have to use some of the essence, energy, and spirit of the legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts! Changshou…” “I’m here.” ME “I suddenly figured it out.” Qi Yuan smiled and flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand. He smiled and said, “Instead of being depressed, why don’t you be more carefree and walk around? Why isn’t he alive? Why does he have to live in the past?

In the future, I still have a lot of time. I can live a carefree life and experience the glory of the Primordial World.” When Li Changshou heard that, he felt relieved at first. Then, he became slightly alert.

Right now, it was the time for the great calamity to brew. It was very likely that his master was affected by the calamity. Moreover, because his Dao Heart realm was low, the agitation might be even stronger. IT Tie Master up in the mountain?

This… is not appropriate… Li Changshou immediately offered them to his master and the two Golden Immortal paper effigies as protectors. He then pulled his master to Bai Ze and asked Bai Ze to try his best to sense if things would go well for his master when he went out. It was not the first time Qi Yuan had seen Bai Ze. He knew that Bai Ze was a chef with an extraordinary cultivation level and skills. He was very polite to Bai Ze. Bai Ze knew that Li Changshou’s master, Qi Yuan, and junior sister, Ling’e, were more important in his Dao heart. He transformed into his main body and looked like auspicious beast. A long feather slowly moved forward and reached towards Qi Yuan’s chest.

Qi Yuan was a little confused, but he did not say anything. He just let Li Changshou and Bai Ze do whatever they wanted. ME Soon after, Bai Ze smiled and said,

“I just imagined going out with you. I don’t feel worried. If my mystical abilities are not wrong, there seems to be an opportunity for you to obtain.”

Li Changshou’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, “What kind of opportunity?” Bai Ze was about to habitually pinch his fingers to calculate when his fingers froze. He smiled awkwardly and said, “This… is hard to say.” “What kind of opportunities can I have?” Qi Yuan smiled and said, “Perhaps it’s a good thing for me to go to the Heavenly Courts to receive a reward.” Bai Ze smiled and did not say anything. Li Changshou was still worried.

However, his master was going to the Heavenly Courts and Bai Ze said again… “Master, I’ll send you to the Heavenly Courts.” ME “Why are you sending me off!?!” Qi Yuan sighed. “I’m not a three-year-old child! Wait here. I’ll bring your paper effigy with me. We can return in half a day.” After saying that, Qi Yuan slowly rode a cloud and left the important array formation on Black Pool Peak. He took the mountain gate and rushed to the East Heaven Gate.

Li Changshou naturally did not dare to be careless.

Now that the calamity had just arrived, his master was going to report to the Heavenly Courts for some reason. How could Li Changshou let his guard down? A paper effigy used the transformation technique to transform into a spiritual bird and spread its wings to chase after Qi Yuan. There were no storms along the way. Qi Yuan arrived successfully and passed the East Heaven Gate with his Mountain God seal.

Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. The paper effigy’s immortal senses in the Heavenly Courts continued to track his master’s whereabouts.

Then, Li Changshou had a thought. When his master entered the Hall of Enlightenment, he diverted his attention and rode the paper effigy to see the situation of the “Great Supporting Role of the Gods”. He did not know what would happen to the black leopard that had lost its love. However, Li Changshou was soon disappointed. The black leopard was still cultivating in the cave. Although its cultivation level had increased significantly, there were no abnormalities.

Li Changshou secretly observed for a long time and realized that the black leopard had no intention of coming out of seclusion. However, there was a small commotion in the Heavenly Courts’ Hall of Enlightenment. He immediately shifted his attention back. He saw General Dongmu pulling his master, Qi Yuan, by the wrist and stepping out of the hall. The two of them were chatting happily. “Fellow Daoist Qi Yuan, I’ll send you off!”

“General Dongmu, you are busy. I can return myself.”

“Ah, that won’t do.” General Dongmu leaned in and smiled. “We are best friends with the Water God.”

Qi Yuan smiled apologetically. He wanted to break free but did not dare to. He could only stare at the curious gazes around him and walk beside General Dongmu. General Dongmu deployed an army of Heavenly Soldiers to protect him. Qi Yuan was even more reserved. Li Changshou chuckled secretly. The bird that he had transformed into followed not far away. There were two Golden Immortal paper effigies and a Heaven Immortal paper effigy in his master’s sleeve. After leaving the East Heaven Gate, he headed straight for the East Continent.

Along the way, General Dongmu and Qi Yuan chatted happily. Li Changshou’s eyes were filled with joy.

All of a sudden, he felt like an old father…

This is disrespectful.

At this moment!

Li Changshou suddenly heard a strange sound of an instrument. His spiritual senses trembled slightly, as if danger was approaching. His immortal senses suddenly captured a wisp of white light. It flew up from below and headed straight for General Dongmu!
