Chapter 495 The Debate Between Immortals and Mortals (2)
As soon as Li Changshou spoke, many gazes gathered on the cloud.
He pointed his left index finger downwards and a cloud ladder slowly spread out. As an ordinary authoritative god of the Heavenly Courts, he walked down the stairs with a relaxed expression.
Among the immortals, Bai Ze’s smile was a little playful. Just like what most of the immortals present were looking forward to, he was also thinking about how Li Changshou should refute the Void Bodhi.
In terms of plotting and scheming, Bai Ze was naturally the best among the immortals there. He completely knew how powerful the Void Bodhi’s words were.
The Void Bodhi captured the contradiction of ‘there are differences between immortals and mortals’. He captured the slogan that the Heavenly Courts had always advocated to protect the weak. He tied the Immortal Dao factions of the three thousand worlds to the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom and placed them on the opposite side of the Heavenly Courts.
However, that was the truth. It was the hardest to refute.
Jiu Wu muttered, “Mr. Bai, do you want to appear and help?” “The Water God is here. Why should I embarrass myself?”.
Bai Ze shrugged and picked up the wine bottle on the short table in front of him. He tasted the fine wine that the fairy had given him and tasted the sweetness. Bai Ze did not finish his sentence...
It’s not easy to argue if I want to embarrass myself.
After all, I’m also one of the ten demon generals of the ancient times. I have to give some face.
At that moment, the problem was indeed in front of Li Changshou. The next thing was to refute the Void Bodhi but it was not to determine the winner, but to convince the Immortal Dao factions.
The Void Bodhi’s words were meant to kill. He could not withstand a single blow in the face of righteousness. However, he had accurately hit the vital points of these immortal Dao factions.
Li Changshou was now representing the Heavenly Courts. He could not say anything.
If he were to lure them with great benefits, would the Heavenly Courts be any different from the Western Sect?
In that case, it would be even more difficult to refute Void Bodhi’s next attack.
Li Changshou could not help but sigh...
If the powerful disciples of the Western Sect could be united, it would be a huge problem.
Fortunately, Ksitigarbha had already been eliminated by Void Bodhi and the others. The “corporate cultures of the Western Sect was scheming... Not all of them were beneficial.
Li Changshou decided to use the lamp to consider various aspects and situations. The “nodes” that the Western Sect had created were naturally all in his hands.
Be it the other party who had come to the Void Bodhi or the others, they could only obtain a few “Dharma treasures”... He had to solemnly thank Little Fairy Lingle for grabbing her hair while she was thinking!
Li Changshou originally had an entire set of tricks to defend against the Void Bodhi.
He first shifted his attention to the Western Sect’s numerous criminal records and stirred up the emotions of the listeners. Then, he avoided the important matters and made light of them. He talked about ideals, made promises, and hinted at them to incite the Qi Refinement cultivators to have a common enemy. The rivalry that Xu Bodhi had instigated was destroyed.
That was enough to deal with the current situation.
However, at that moment, Li Changshou felt that...
It was not stable. Void Bodhi’s question today was very sharp. It pointed out the irreconcilable conflict between the Immortal Dao factions and the Heavenly Courts.
If they used sophistry to deal with the situation today, many immortals present would definitely have a thorn in their hearts.
There would also be gaps in the internal structure of the Immortal Union. It would be useless in the future.
Li Changshou took three steps down from the Cloud Staircase and had a plan in his heart. He chuckled and said loudly, “The words of the Void Bodhi are not worth arguing about. Justice is in the hearts of people. However, in order to prevent everyone from misunderstanding the Heavenly Courts and being instigated by this traitor, I will speak openly today.”
The Void Bodhi’s incarnation said calmly, “The Water God has already thought of how to bewitch people so quickly?”.
Li Changshou frowned slightly. There was no need for him to attack or speak. A blue light flashed by his side. Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls appeared around the Void Bodhi and froze his incarnation on the spot.
Zhao Gongming cursed, “You were talking nonsense just now. Changgeng did not interrupt you!”
Void Bodhi smiled calmly and closed his eyes calmly, as if victory was already in his grasp. Li Changshou stood on the cloud ladder and said slowly, “Just now, the disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect said that the Heavenly Courts are on the side of the mortals. As the human race is the protagonist of the world, the mortals are the main body of destiny. The South Continent has gathered 80% of the destiny of the human race. That seems reasonable, but it is extremely absurd! Do you know that the Western Sect has destroyed the Sea Eye of the dragon race?”
“At that time, the Western Sect wanted to subdue the dragon race for their use. They suppressed them openly and secretly launched a rebellion against the Sea Clan of the four seas. In the end, they angered the dragon race and made the dragon race submit to the Heavenly Courts.” “In order to save face for the so-called great sects, the Western Sect planned and schemed, mobilized a large number of negative karma demons and Primordial Beasts, and finally destroyed the Sea Eye of the East Ocean and moved away the treasure vault of the East Ocean Dragon Palace.”
“The sea eye was broken, and the seawater poured back. A tsunami was about to rise in the East Ocean. In order to wash away the sins of the ancient times, countless dragons surged into the sea eye and were torn apart by the sea eye...”
“At that time, I took out a treasure called the Sea-Calming Divine Needle. However, using it to suppress the Sea Eye was only a temporary plan. A Heavenly Courts general named Hua Ritian stood up and leaped, using himself to seal the East Ocean Eye. From then on, the dragon race completely submitted and became the help of the Heavenly Courts. The Heavenly Courts also began to prosper.”
Li Changshou heaved a long sigh and looked around. He stopped on the cloud ladder and spoke loudly.
“Do you know who the Heavenly Courts’ general is? Why can he block the Sea Eye?”
The immortals were mostly silent.
A few immortals were engrossed and shook their heads cooperatively.
“General Hua Ritian is actually the incarnation of the Jade Emperor. He is the only Golden Body of Merit formed by the Jade Emperor after accumulating merit for a long time. That way, he would be able to overcome some of the sins of the dragon race. His Majesty’s leap was for the mortals, but it was also for the dragon race, the Heavenly Courts, and the people of the East Continent to avoid the calamity of the seawater! His Majesty said that he is willing to take care of the common people. That’s unforgettable. Everyone, the creed of the Heavenly Courts is to protect all living beings in the world. What the Void Bodhi said just now about us talking about all the living beings in the world all day long, is not wrong. However, the Heavenly Courts stood on the side of the living beings, the human race, and not just the mortals! You are also living beings and an indispensable part of the world! Will I look down on you just because your cultivation levels are high and you are Heaven Immortals and Golden Immortals? Will the Heavenly Courts discriminate against you just because you are not mortals?”
Many immortals could not help but laugh. The Void Bodhi frowned slightly.
“
y
Li Changshou chuckled and said earnestly, “We are both humans. We know that it is not easy for humans to rise. The disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect said that immortals and mortals are ultimately different. I really don’t understand. When everyone here is managing their own forces, could it be that they are exploiting mortals to increase their cultivation realm? If there is such a person, please stand up. I will send him off today. When immortals cultivate, do they focus on comprehending the world and nature, or do they focus on absorbing incense merit? Could it be that everyone’s daily actions are similar to the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom established by the Western Sect?”
As soon as Li Changshou finished speaking, a few immortals stood up.
They said firmly, “Water God! The Black Heaven Immortal Sect is open and aboveboard. The sect rules prohibit the disciples from killing the innocent! How can it be like the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom?”
“That’s right. Mortals mostly live in places where the terrain is flat. The turbid Qi is complicated. We cultivators mostly live in the famous mountains of the Great River. We absorb the clearness of the world. If immortals and mortals are separated, so be it. What’s the difference?”
“Who isn’t from the mortal world? Most of our disciples are chosen from the mortal world!”
At once, the immortals spoke one after another, understanding the flaws in Void Bodhi’s words.
Li Changshou waited quietly for a while. After the sound wave passed, he continued to walk down slowly. His voice sounded in the world.
“The order that the Heavenly Courts want to establish is not targeted at immortals, nor is it to protect mortals. However, mortals are often in a weak state, people often assume that the Heavenly Courts only protect mortals. Ridiculous! Preventing the strong from bullying the weak is what the Heavenly Courts want to do. Compared to mortals, everyone present is strong. However, compared to mighty figures, everyone is considered weak. The Heavenly Courts stand on the side of justice. The Heavenly Courts do not violate the restrictions of Dao and virtue. Due to the fact that the Heavenly Courts’ foundation in the Trichiliocosm is weak, and that there is a huge danger like the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom, we have to get rid of it as soon as possible. I can promise you that this is the only time. I will not pursue the matters of the past regarding the Immortal Dao factions here today. As long as you are kind in the future, do not bully the weak, kill the innocent, and do not harm others, you will be a member of the Immortal Alliance recognized by the Heavenly Courts!”
“It is like a dream to make the strong not bully weak. However, it is something that the Heavenly Courts have to do in ten thousand years to make experts have doubts and reservations when they want to bully the weak! If everyone can do that, we will stay here. We will discuss how to fight against the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom, how to save the mortals, and how to distribute the cultivation materials and Spirit Stones of the Divine Kingdom of Incense. If you can’t do it, turn around and leave. I, Li Changgeng, will not be in any trouble today!” The immortals did not move at all. At that moment, 90% of the immortals looked at Li Changshou with longing and anticipation.
Li Changshou waited quietly for a while. At that moment, he had already reached the second half of the Cloud Staircase. He was less than 100 feet away from the Fairy Platform. He was also at eye level with Randeng and the Void Bodhi.
He made a gesture and the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls around the Void Bodhi were retracted by Zhao Gongming.
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Do you still have any doubts? You can mention them today.”
A burly man shouted loudly, “I’m willing to follow the Heavenly Courts! I’m willing to serve the Immortal Alliance! I’m willing to fight against the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom!”
The immortals immediately shouted in the venue. “I am willing to follow the Heavenly Courts and serve the Immortal Alliance!”
“I was almost bewitched by the Western Sect. I’m ashamed! I’m ashamed!”
“Compared to the Immortal Sects of the five continents, we are indeed weak. The Heavenly Courts are taking care of all living beings. We Qi Refinement cultivators are also a part of all living beings!”
“The Water God is wise!”
In the sound wave, Li Changshou looked at Burning Lamp and looked at the Void Bodhi.
The latter shook his head and chuckled, as if he had expected that.
If that was the case, it would be too easy to defeat the Heavenly Courts’ Water God.
The Void Bodhi was not disappointed at all. Instead, he said, “The Water God is really eloquent. He managed to resolve my troubles so easily. I’ve experienced it today.” “It’s not that I’m eloquent. That’s the logic.”
Li Changshou said calmly, “The Western Sect is unjust. It’s very difficult for people to trust you. Today, you thought that you had captured the sore spot of the Immortal Union, but you can’t even understand the philosophy of the Heavenly Courts.
The dragon race, the demons, the spiritual mountain, the Reincarnation Pagoda, the Immortal Union...
You guys did not lose for nothing.”
The Void Bodhi squinted slightly and his figure gradually turned faint.
“Goodbye.”
“Fellow Daoist, don’t be in a hurry to leave. I still have two generous gifts to give you.” Li Changshou suddenly asked him to stay. The incarnation of the Void Bodhi that was about to dissipate could not help but pause. It waited calmly. In the end, it did not lose the demeanor of a Saint’s disciple.
“A generous gift? I’m looking forward to it.” Hence, Li Changshou said loudly, “Void Bodhi, the disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect. Today, in order to resist the Heavenly Courts, he attempted to bewitch the Immortal Dao factions of the Trichiliocosm and protect the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. He harmed countless living beings. He deserves death. From today onwards, the Void Bodhi will be listed as the enemy of the Heavenly Courts and wanted by the Three Realms! The disciple of the Saint has a bad character and is extremely evil. The Heavenly Courts will reward anyone who can destroy his soul and bring his head to the Heavenly Courts. I hope that the Heavenly Dao will investigate clearly and subdue his calamity to correct the prestige of the Heavenly Courts!”
Boom
The small world suddenly turned dark. Ferocious lightning dragons appeared in the sky. A wave of black Qi wrapped around Void Bodhi’s body and melted into nothingness.
He went to look for his main body.
This scene really made many immortals secretly alarmed. It made the immortals who already had a feeling of intimacy with the Heavenly Courts look happy.
Daoist Randeng frowned and pondered. The Goddess of Golden Spirit pursed her lips slightly. Zhao Gongming and Lu Yue looked at each other in surprise.
He had to face the calamity head-on?
The Void Bodhi’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He glared at Li Changshou.
“You!”
“Thank you for taking the trouble to come and strengthen the prestige of the Heavenly Courts.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, you have contributed to the Heavenly Courts’s success in gaining a foothold in the Trichiliocosm.
“By the way, Fellow Daoist, when you return, I hope you can tell your fellow disciple in the Western Sect who had once instigated the Golden-Winged Roc to cause trouble in the Heavenly Courts. I will look for him to settle the karma here.”
Void Bodhi frowned and said, “Could it be that the Golden-Winged Roc is trapped by the Water God?”
Li Changshou smiled in satisfaction. The Heavenly Courts had done a good job keeping it a secret this time.
Or perhaps, Void Bodhi did not receive any relevant news.
Screech
A loud cry suddenly sounded from the horizon of the small world. A ray of golden light flickered and turned into a handsome general dressed in golden armor. His hooked nose was exceptionally eye-catching.
Before the cry ended, he had already arrived in front of Li Changshou with a gust of wind. He cupped his fists and knelt on one knee. His armor was stained with blood, and so was his long hair.
“Teacher! There are 1,362 Qi Refinement cultivators from the Western Sect hiding in the void tens of thousands of kilometers away. They are prepared to attack this place with the array! I discovered these evil thieves a moment ago. I did not have the time to ask Teacher for permission. In order to ensure the stability of the Immortal Union Meeting, I have already killed all these Qi Refinement cultivators. Teacher, please punish me!”
Li Changshou said seriously, “Marshal Golden Roc, please rise. You have done a meritorious deed for protecting the Immortal Union Meeting. How is there any punishment?”
Void Bodhi was speechless.
The surrounding immortals were speechless.
Killing a thousand immortals in a moment?
Li Changshou grabbed the wrist of the Golden-Winged Roc and pointed at the Void Bodhi. “Remember this old Daoist priest’s aura and face. This is a huge contribution.”
The Golden-Winged Roc’s eyes lit up. It was eager to try.
The Void Bodhi’s lips trembled, but he snorted coldly. With a flick of his sleeve, his figure instantly turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared, leaving only a single sound. “Water God, you really have extraordinary means! As the righteous god of the Heavenly Courts, you actually used an evil technique to control the minds of living beings! The phoenix race will definitely settle scores with
you!”
However, he did not forget to accuse him.
ACCU
However, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Void Bodhi did not continue to ask the previous question. If Void Bodhi said that the Heavenly Courts would issue an edict to the An Immortal Alliance in the future, it would be difficult to answer.
When it heard the words left behind by the Void Bodhi, the Golden-Winged Roc could not help it.
He took two steps forward and tried his best to sense the location of Void Bodhi’s main body.
“Don’t you dare insult Teacher’s innocence! I have been enlightened by Teacher. I have already been arrogant and complacent previously. Now, I am wholeheartedly working for the Heavenly Courts and Teacher! I will definitely turn you into ashes!”
After saying that, the Golden-Winged Roc revealed its main body and shot towards the sky.
At that moment, there were still three meditation cushions on the back of the Golden-Winged Roc... “Well?”
Among the immortals, Bai Ze widened his eyes and frowned. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He felt a strong sense of danger.
How long had he been away from the Black Pool Peak? Did he already have a spare mount?
No, that speed...
His auspicious beast mount had become a backup?
Bai Ze frowned and muttered in his heart.
He had to think of a way to protect his position as a mount in Ren School!
On the Fairy Platform, Li Changshou chuckled and bowed to Daoist Randeng. He then walked up the stairs and returned to the white cloud above.
Bing Qingyue walked out at the right time and bowed to everyone. She also invited Alliance Leader Randeng to sit back on the Alliance Leader’s throne.
There were no more waves in the conference. Due to the help of the Heavenly Dao, the final effect of the Immortal Union Meeting was much better than Li Changshou had expected.
In just a few words, he had landed a calamity on the disciples of the Saints of the Western Sect...
Who could withstand that?!
Li Changshou recalled what his Aunt-Master, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, had said. He had become the leader of the Great Tribulation.
This...
Could it be that I snatched the job of my master’s reincarnation?
If the God roll was not controlled by the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning but in the hands of the Heavenly Courts, how could the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning take Jiang Ziya as his disciple?
No, things seem to be even more complicated.
Precisely because Jiang Ziya was related to the Water God of the Heavenly Courts, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning might still choose to take Jiang Ziya into the Jade Void Palace...
After a while, some things did not change during the great calamity. However, the motive and cause of the calamity were different.
Due to the differences, they became one. This wonderful power of convergence...
Li Changshou felt enlightened. He looked at Bai Ze and Jiu Wu and closed his eyes on the cloud. He began to gain enlightenment openly.
He did not have to worry about the rest. He would let Old Madam Bian and the others decide the future development path of the Immortal Union.
“Fake Manager Randeng”: Randeng only said one sentence and put the blame on the disciples of the Western Sect’s Saint. Then, he witnessed the disciples of the Western Sect’s Saint being dragged into a calamity and did not dare to speak again. Subsequently, he was successfully controlled by a group of deputy alliance leaders.
Hence, half a month later.
Streams of light flew away, and the Immortal Alliance Meeting officially ended.
Randeng left rather quickly.
Originally, Zhao Gongming and Lu Yue had wanted to secretly cause trouble for Randeng, but he did not give them a chance.
On the other hand, the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School did not leave with Randeng After the conference ended, most of the factions left. Daoist Priest Ci Hang hesitated for a while before flying towards Li Changshou and the others, who were chatting and laughing “Junior Brother Changgeng?” She spoke from 100 feet away, “Can you go out and chat with me? I have a few questions that I want to ask you to solve.” Just as Li Changshou was about to answer, Zhao Gongming subconsciously stood up and stood in front of Li Changshou.
Master Zhao smiled calmly and said, “Junior Sister Cihang, can’t you tell me?” Daoist Ci Hang frowned slightly. Her smile was a little forced, but she still said directly, “Senior Brother, I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to answer my questions.”
Zhao Gongming was speechless.
The Goddess of Golden Spirit said calmly, “Then ask me.”
“Well...”
Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior Brother, Senior Sister, I’ll be back soon. It won’t take long.”
Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and shook his head. The Goddess of Golden Spirit snorted in a warning tone. At first, Lu Yue did not realize what was going on. Then, he recalled the true big shots in the sect...
“Changgeng!”
Lu Yue stopped Li Changshou and took two steps forward. He placed a pot of pills on Li Changshou’s sleeve.
Li Changshou could not help but be puzzled. “This is?”
Lu Yue instructed via voice transmission, “Take care of yourself.”
Li Changshou’s eyes lit up.
Lu Yue is really something.
