Chapter 645: The Western Sect Will Rest For Now

Chapter 646: The Western Sect Will Rest For Now

Although the death of an ordinary disciple of a Saint was not a big deal compared to the battle today, for some reason, the immortals present felt their hearts palpitate.

Perhaps, when Taibai Jinxing attacked, he was too casual.

Or perhaps, the battle was too sudden. There were no signs, and there was no room for negotiation.

The Heart-Piercing Lock bestowed by the Grandmaster of Heaven actually had such power.

Li Changshou seemed as if nothing had happened. With a faint smile, he continued to ask, “Everyone, what do you think of my previous suggestion?”

The immortals of the Western Sect were furious but did not dare to speak.

A few personal disciples of the Saint looked at Guang Chengzi. However, Guang Chengzi was already resting with his eyes closed. He did not say anything else.

From the perspective of an informal alliance between the two parties, Chan School had already done their best to protect them today.

The only reason they could survive was because there were two Saints behind them…

No, that’s not right.

At that moment, Jie School did not kill them. More importantly, they were bound by the Heavenly Dao oath. They were no longer a threat to Jie School.

In the future, if the Western Sect wanted to take revenge, the Saint would have to go personally.

That was only because the Heavenly Dao oath could not restrain the Saints. Otherwise, it would probably be another situation today.

“Why?”

Li Changshou smiled and asked, “Everyone has lost their backbone. Why can’t anyone answer?”

“Ah…”

The disciple of the Western Sect, Jia Ye, slowly exhaled and suppressed his injuries. He stood up and took two steps forward. He cupped his hands at Li Changshou and smiled faintly.

However, that smile was rather bitter.

He said slowly, “The calamity that my spiritual mountain suffered today is not the fault of others. The spiritual mountain should have a calamity. The trouble that my spiritual mountain suffered today was not caused by others. The spiritual mountain should have been difficult. Today, my spiritual mountain is suffering. It is not caused by others. There is pain in the spiritual mountain. Teacher and Uncle-Master have worked hard to make the Western Sect prosper. They have done nothing wrong. The reason is wrong. However, in the ancient Primordial World, the strong are respected. No one said anything wrong about the exploitation of the weak. Today, the Dao pushed the Heavenly Courts and established order. It was famous for protecting the weak and killing the living experts. The Dao Sect’s invasion today was just to suppress them. The ancient sects, the dragons, phoenixes, the Magi and demons are all ranked according to their strength. The Western Sect is not as violent as the Magi and demons and is not as arrogant as the dragon and phoenix. The reason for our defeat is our lack of strength. Did that Dao Sect violate the will of the Heavenly Dao? Did that Dao Sect really survive the Great Tribulation? There are no treasures to suppress the destiny of Jie School. Is it because you have too much negative karma, or is it because you are not liked by the Heavenly Dao?”

After saying that, the smile on Jia Ye’s lips grew wider as he stared at Li Changshou.

The world was misty.

Many immortals from the Dao Sect wanted to refute Jia Ye’s words, but when they spoke, they felt that there was a reason behind what Jia Ye said.

Many immortals of Jie School were no longer happy after destroying the Western Sect and eliminating the great calamity. Instead, they fell into a dilemma and frowned.

Li Changshou sighed in his heart.

There were capable people in the Western Sect. The personal disciples who were accepted were not good.

Unfortunately, Jia Ye’s mental state was already in chaos and he had lost his sense of propriety. After circling around halfway, he came to the conclusion that the Dao Sect would be buried by the Heavenly Dao.

At that moment, the disciples of the Dao Sect did not find it convincing. They seemed to be venting their anger and hatred.

It was even more sorrowful.

Jia Ye said, “Is Lord Taibai Jinxing refuting?”

“No, Fellow Daoist, you’re right.”

Li Changshou nodded slowly. “With your theory, Fellow Daoist, it will be a good warning to the Heavenly Courts in the later stages of our work. What else can the Western Sect say?”

Jia Ye’s expression was a little cold. The disciples of the Western Sect still looked dead.

Li Changshou waited calmly for a while and smiled. “In that case, why don’t you start making an oath?”

The Western Sect members were silent.

Li Changshou waited for a while. The smile on his lips gradually disappeared. He frowned and looked at the Western Sect disciples who seemed to want to stall for time. His horsetail whisk swayed slightly.

A jade-colored stream of light flew out of Yun Xiao’s sleeve and transformed into a jade statue thousands of feet tall behind Li Changshou.

The jade statue raised its arm and aimed it at the hall of the spiritual mountain.

Li Changshou’s voice sounded as leisurely as ever. “Do you want to swear a Heavenly Dao oath?”

The world was silent.

Li Changshou nodded. The lifeless eyes of the jade statue on his back suddenly shone with a purple-red light. The spiritual energy in the world surged again, and colorful streams of spiritual energy appeared on the back of the jade statue…

Fairy Yun Xiao looked at Li Changshou’s paper effigy and hesitated.

She should have done those things.

“Stand…”

Jia Ye closed his eyes in pain. “Let’s swear a Great Dao oath!”

Li Changshou waved his horsetail whisk and the jade statue behind him stopped gathering spiritual energy.

A cloth flew out of Li Changshou’s sleeve and headed towards the hall of the spiritual mountain.

Li Changshou once again began smiling with squinted eyes. He stood among the immortals, but he seemed to be invisible.

He quietly sensed that about 20% of the power of the Great Tribulation in the world had dissipated.

At that moment, a paper effigy that was specially suspended outside the ends of the world looked at the five continents of the Primordial World with the Qi Viewing Technique. It saw that the Sword of Tribulation had already shrunk twice.

That was the outstanding contribution made by the Western Sect.

Li Changshou’s paper effigy held the small notebook and kept calculating. In the end, he came up with a number that he could still accept.

According to the number of experts who had died in the battle on the spiritual mountain today, the corresponding amount of the power of the Great Tribulation had dissipated. The power of the Great Tribulation had completely dissipated. Sixty percent of the total strength of the Jie School and Chan School had to die.

The so-called total strength was actually a blurry figure.

The exact meaning was that if one Zenith Heaven died, it would be equivalent to ten Golden Immortals. Each living being represented a different life force.

60% was actually acceptable.

That value was originally close to 80%. It meant that almost all of Jie School had been destroyed, or that most of Chan School and Jie School had died.

If he were to trace it back, it would be because the Western Sect had allowed the Saint to be mentioned. When he had killed Lu Chong, he had not been able to hold back his palm and had given himself the opportunity to pull the Western Sect into the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

The Heavenly Dao oath this time was surprisingly short.

After all, he had to consider it carefully. If he took too long to swear an oath, or if he was led back, wouldn’t all his efforts be wasted?

With a muffled thunder in the sky, the chanting of oaths gradually stopped in the hall of the spiritual mountain.

Li Changshou retracted the cloth and bowed to the main hall of the spiritual mountain.

“Thank you for doing me this favor. From today onwards, as long as the Western Sect adheres to the oath and does not attack my Dao Sect, the disciple of Ren School, Li Changgeng, will not plot against you. Of course, everyone, please follow the order of the Heavenly Dao and not do anything evil. The Heavenly Dao is watching us.”

After saying that, the jade statue behind Li Changshou turned into a stream of light and retracted into Yun Xiao’s palm. Under the envious gazes of the immortals of Jie School, Yun Xiao retracted it into her sleeve.

The disciples of the Western Sect in the hall were silent. They activated a simple array formation, as if they were unwilling to say anything else.

“I’m happy.” Lu Yue placed his hands behind his back. His old face was filled with relief. “Today, I’m really happy!”

The immortals of Jie School spoke and made some post-war declarations. Their morale was high and they were united.

The immortals of Chan School already had the intention to retreat. Guang Chengzi cupped his hands at Li Changshou and turned around to leave…

“Senior Brother Guang Chengzi.”

Li Changshou shouted at Guang Chengzi warmly. The immortals of Chan School also stopped.

The focus returned to Li Changshou’s paper effigy.

Guang Chengzi smiled and said, “Junior Brother Changgeng, do you have any other instructions?”

“I don’t dare to guide you. I just have a few words to tell Senior Brother. Naturally, I have to remind Senior Sister Jin Ling.”

Li Changshou deliberately smiled bitterly and cupped his hands at Guang Chengzi and Jin Ling.

“Senior Brother, Senior Sister, if something like this happens again, don’t call me back. I’m now an immortal god of the Heavenly Courts. I’m too close to the Heavenly Dao and am also a person who is in charge of the Tribulation. According to the will of the Heavenly Dao, I should treat the Western Sect, Jie School, and Chan School equally. Today, I can directly target the Western Sect. It can be considered a fair fight. The main reason is that the Western Sect is not strong enough. There are too many problems. However, in the future… The Great Tribulation is already an internal matter of the Dao Sect. It’s not appropriate for me to be biased towards either side. I can only temporarily put the stand of the immortals of the Heavenly Courts above that of the disciples of the Dao Sect. Please understand, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters.”

Li Changshou bowed to everyone.

Most of the immortals from Chan School and Jie School returned the greeting. Some people also advised Li Changshou not to worry.

The Goddess of Golden Spirit finally smiled and said, “Junior Brother Changgeng, you don’t have to worry. From today onwards, the immortals of Jie School will not wander around the Primordial World. We will take the initiative to avoid conflict with the” Fellow Daoists “of Chan School.”

He emphasized the word ‘Fellow Daoist’.

Guang Chengzi also said, “Under the Great Tribulation, everything will change. There might not be only killing intent ahead.”

After saying that, Guang Chengzi bowed to the Goddess of Golden Spirit.

The immortals of Chan School sighed and bowed to the immortals of Jie School.

On the side of Jie School, Yun Xiao returned the greeting first. Most of the immortals of the sect returned the greeting sparsely. It was rather disorderly.

Li Changshou smiled when he saw that. He raised his hand and pulled the green-furred dog that was hiding under the hall of the spiritual mountain to his side. He turned around and rode it.

“I’m going.”

Truth Listener perked up and endured its previous fear. It was arrogant, raised its head, and puffed out its chest. Green flames appeared under its feet and it carried Li Changshou to the sky.

Looking at the back of the old immortal, it was faint and illusory. There seemed to be thousands of Dao runes on it, but it also seemed to be an ordinary old man.

The Goddess of Golden Spirit made a gesture. The immortals of Jie School turned into streams of light and brought out a long river in the sky towards the South Continent.

Guang Chengzi said, “Let’s go. The Chan School’s immortals will return on the way. This trip was wasted.”

When the immortals returned, a blue True Flames suddenly ignited all over the half of the spiritual mountain. It specially burned the remnant souls and corpses. Even the shattered pieces of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal’s corpse could be quickly burned by the True Flames.

There were more and more green flames. Crying sounds came from the world, and the surroundings were filled with killing intent.

When the experts of the Primordial World saw this scene, they sighed.

From the ancient times until now, the spiritual mountain that had done many evil deeds in the Primordial World and was once the hideout of ferocious beasts and demonic beasts because of the protection of the two Saints had been flattened.

At that moment, the two Saints of the Western Sect had yet to return. They did not know where they were. They did not know if they would go crazy and start a battle between Saints when they returned and saw such a spiritual mountain.

Probably not.

Counting the past glory of the Western Sect, it was originally unknown in the ancient times. After the demons fell and the human race prospered, because the scale of the human world became larger and larger, the Western Sect obtained the method to earn incense offerings.

He began to collect ferocious beasts and demonic beasts to clear the negative karma for himself.

He began to rely on the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and his teachings to establish one incense divine kingdom after another to consolidate his teachings.

Before they decided to swallow the dragon race, they had already reached the peak of their power.

Although the forces did not dare to openly clash with the Dao Sect, the “army” that they had secretly gathered was rather terrifying.

Then, how did they decline?

There was an obvious mark on the axis of time.

The East Ocean Eye was destroyed.

Li Changshou was one step behind. The Jade Emperor’s pure Golden Body of Merit had transformed into the Sea Eye to block the Sea Eye. The dragon race had returned to the Heavenly Courts. The Western Sect and the Heavenly Courts had been pushed to the opposite side.

The arrogance of the Western Sect and the weakness of the Heavenly Courts’ opening made them make a series of fatal judgments.

“The rise of the Heavenly Courts and the rise of the Western Sect are conflicting, we have to suppress the rise of the Heavenly Courts.”

Previously, the Western Sect’s thoughts were like this—

“If the Dao Sect does not make way, how will the Western Sect prosper? How will we obtain the Great Luck Path?”

And the whip hidden in the deepest depths…

The Saints of the Western Sect rely on their grand aspirations to become Saints. If the Western Sect cannot prosper, they might be suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.

Those three were the “source power” of the Western Sect that would never return.

However, if he looked back carefully, he could see that the Western Sect had encountered a series of obstacles along the way. There was a bright name engraved on the obstacles.

The Sea God, the Water God, Taibai Jinxing, and the Grand Pure One’s disciple, Li Changgeng.

Ksitigarbha was defeated by him.

The hidden Void Bodhi would die when it encountered him.

Maitreya, who was shouting that he was happy, was forced to the battle of the destruction of the spiritual mountain. He did not even dare to show his face.

He smashed the gate of the Western Sect and destroyed the Western Sect’s Great Luck. He made the Saints of the Western Sect swallow their pride several times. In the end, the Saints of the Western Sect became jokes and lost their dignity…

If everything could be redone, an old Daoist priest of the Western Sect would definitely stand up and shout at the high-spirited Ksitigarbha.

Why did you provoke him!?!

…

Half a day later, in the Netherworld Reincarnation Pagoda.

Truth Listener lay under the screen beside it. Ksitigarbha sat behind the window sill with a gloomy expression. Li Changshou’s paper effigy stood beside the bookshelf on the top floor of the Reincarnation Pagoda and read a Western Sect sutra with relish.

Truth Listener looked over and could not help but have a strange thought.

Ah, how good would it be if Master is a fairy?

“Why don’t you punish me?”

Ksitigarbha muttered, “The spiritual mountain is likely to cease. There is no chance for the Western Sect to rise again. Li Changshou, you have really won.”

Li Changshou’s paper effigy replied without looking up, “It’s too early to talk about winning or losing. Your two teachers might have not predicted that.”

Ksitigarbha was silent. He closed his eyes and sighed slowly.

“Then why don’t you take the opportunity to remove the title of the master of the Reincarnation Pagoda? That can also destroy the foundation of the Western Sect’s destiny.”

“You are the supplement of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. If I touch you because of this matter, I will naturally be taking revenge on you for personal reasons.”

Li Changshou smiled and placed the sutra in his hand back into the bookshelf. His fingers “stuck” another book.

He wanted to peep at the cultivation techniques of the Western Sect.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Moreover, I expected you to go to the spiritual mountain. You have a conscience. You’re much better than your Eldest Senior Brother. I’ll forget about this matter. It’s normal for living beings. I’ll plead for mercy in front of the Jade Emperor and avoid your punishment.”

Ksitigarbha remained silent. He pondered for a while and asked softly, “Is the battle between the Chan School and Jie School irreversible?”

“Yes.” Li Changshou stopped smiling and placed the sutra in his hand back to its original position. He walked to Ksitigarbha and sat down casually.

Li Changshou closed his eyes slightly and said calmly, “No matter what I do, I can’t resist the power of the Heavenly Dao. The Dao Sect had long reached its peak. It can only decline. The most tragic thing is that in the Primordial World, the Heavenly Dao cannot arrange an enemy for the Dao Sect. It could only cause internal conflicts in the Dao Sect. The Western Sect, Randeng, and you are just pawns that the Heavenly Dao weakens the power of living beings.”

“You still have the Great Dao of Equalization.”

“That’s all in the future.” Li Changshou asked, “Your Dao is also a part of the living beings. Can living beings really fight against the world?”

Ksitigarbha pondered for a while and said, “Probably not.”

“Yes, I can’t.”

Li Changshou muttered. He leaned against the wall under the window and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

Ksitigarbha turned to look at Li Changshou’s figure and slowly sighed. The hatred in his eyes gradually dissipated.

They each had their own standpoint. Actually, there was no resentment.

If he temporarily forgot about the fact that they were rivals, it would not be easy for this fellow to come this far.

Ksitigarbha fell into a daze.

A moment later, he straightened his face and asked coldly, “Are you going to sleep here before cultivating? My Reincarnation Pagoda does not welcome you!”

“Be quiet. It’s not like you can’t hear me!”

Li Changshou gritted his teeth and replied, “I’m chatting with my Yun. It’s rare for the atmosphere to be good. Why are you making so much noise!?!”

Ksitigarbha was speechless.

“Hmph! You’re obsessed with beauty!”

“I’m a willing party.”

Li Changshou pursed his lips. “Truth Listener, transform into a young girl and dance for your master.”

Truth Listener’s face and hair turned red. It stammered for a long time and used the transformation technique…

“By the way…” Li Changshou frowned and looked at Truth Listener.

Is this fellow male or female?
