Chapter 616: Lights Out! Lights Out!

　　What?

　　The Old Man of the South Pole frowned at the scene before him.

　　Golden light flashed around Li Changshou. Immortal power surged under his wide robe, and there was a force that made his heart palpitate.

　　The auras of the four experts of Jie School had already locked onto Randeng. They could attack and suppress him at any time.

　　The surrounding immortals quickly retreated. They were in an orderly manner and did not panic at all, as if they had already rehearsed it.

　　Daoist Randeng smiled coldly. As if he had known that would happen, he seemed to have some self-restraint and turned to look at Li Changshou.

　　“Junior Brother Changgeng, Junior Brothers and Sisters.” The South Pole Immortal asked, “What are you doing?”

　　Li Changshou said calmly, “Previously, Deputy Sect Master Randeng kept saying that I have a death feud with him. Senior Brother also knows that I have a stable personality. I don’t want to have such a powerful enemy and still be free outside, threatening the lives of my friends and family. I naturally have to get rid of him while he’s in the Heavenly Courts. I want to complete karma.”

　　“Changgeng.” The South Pole Immortal took two steps forward with his walking stick. He looked at Guang Chengzi and immediately said, “Have you considered the consequences of this matter? Changgeng, if you kill Deputy Sect Master Randeng here, you will have lost your fairness before the Heavenly Dao. You are the main person in this calamity…”

　　“Senior Brother.” Li Changshou naturally untied the belt of his robe and took off his wide robe, leaving only his black trousers.

　　Two immortal ropes surrounded him and tied his trousers tightly. His long hair gradually turned black, and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda flew out of its own accord and slowly rotated above Li Changshou’s head.

　　Under the light of the sun, Li Changshou’s Dao Body, which was almost perfect because he cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, emitted light.

　　He opened his right hand and the Cosmic Ruler appeared in his palm. He waved his left hand gently and used the Heart-Piercing Lock to escape.

　　The Spirit Coffin on Randeng’s shoulder flickered. It looked like it was just standing there quietly, but it was actually focused on guarding against Li Changshou’s sneak attack.

　　Being afraid of having descendants was an example.

　　Li Changshou then said to the Old Man of the South Pole, “The Heavenly Dao will decide if I was impartial or not. Deputy Sect Master Randeng has tried to test me several times. Even if I make a mistake once, I will definitely be burned to ashes by him. Besides…”

　　Li Changshou chuckled. His face turned from an old to a young Daoist. He used his original appearance, which was more than ten layers of disguise.

　　“The person who wants to kill him today is a disciple of Ren School. What has it got to do with the Heavenly Courts? The legitimate gods of the Heavenly Courts should have some private lives.”

　　“Heh.” Randeng seemed to have laughed out of anger. “I’ve already restrained myself by respecting the Saint today! You’re just deliberately suppressing the power of Chan School because Jie School is close to you! How filthy! You keep saying that I have a death feud with you. I’ve been bullied by you several times, but you’re the one who complained first!”

　　He was anxious. He was really anxious.

　　Crash!

　　A Shadow-Retaining Ball rolled out of Li Changshou’s sleeve. The Dharma artifact rolled on the jade slab that was surrounded by clouds for a few weeks, revealing an image.

　　It was the scene where Randeng had accused Li Changshou of taking revenge.

　　“Please reconsider, Jade Emperor. Taibai Jinxing and I are mortal enemies!”

　　Upon seeing that, Randeng remained calm and composed. He looked like he was just trying to argue.

　　Li Changshou said calmly, “You provoked me because you were afraid of Brother Gongming’s Sea-Calming Divine Pearl. Actually, you don’t have to worry. It is personal. Whoever interferes, regardless of whether they help me or you, will be my enemy. Brother Gongming.”

　　Li Changshou glanced at Zhao Gongming. The two of them had a tacit understanding. Zhao Gongming immediately understood something.

　　Zhao Gongming said, “The disciples of Jie School will not participate in the battle between Changgeng and Deputy Sect Master Randeng today.”

　　“Why aren’t you participating?!”

　　The Goddess of Golden Spirit gritted her teeth in anger and glared at Zhao Gongming. “Do you know how many tricks this old bastard has up his sleeve? He’s the boss of the same generation as Master and the others! Chan School has yet to say that they will not help Randeng!”

　　“Ahem,” Perfected Taiyi said calmly. “As a disciple of Chan School, I naturally can’t remain indifferent after seeing the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School suffer a calamity. If word gets out, people will laugh at Chan School for not being united. What kind of faction are we forming? What kind of small group are we forming? However, the weather might have been hot recently. I’m a little sleepy. I often talk and sleep…”

　　Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

　　The immortals were speechless.

　　At the side, the corners of Perfected Yu Ding’s mouth twitched slightly. He pondered left and right and closed his eyes to focus. He sat on the armchair with Perfected Taiyi and closed his eyes to “sleep”.

　　Hence, the snoring sounds rose and fell, making Perfected Huang Long anxious.

　　Li Changshou asked, “Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, the Old Man of the South Pole, what do the two of you say today?”

　　He was forcing Guang Chengzi and the South Pole Immortal to express their stance.

　　If Chan School supported Randeng, Li Changshou would invite the Grand Supreme Elder to make the decision and escalate the matter to a personal feud within the Dao Sect.

　　If the two people of Chan School expressed that they would not interfere in this matter, Chan School would not be able to use this matter as an excuse to attack in the future.

　　Why can’t Randeng die if Daoist Lu Ya is dead?

　　The God-Conferment that he was in charge of did not need such a trouble-making old Daoist priest who had ulterior motives and no bottom line.

　　Without Randeng, it was very important for him to continue advancing various plans.

　　Huang Long stood up and quickly walked to Guang Chengzi’s side. “Eldest Senior Brother?”

　　Guang Chengzi frowned and pondered. He did not reply.

　　Huang Long stomped his feet and was about to go forward to plead with Li Changshou when a figure flashed in front of him. It was Zhao Gongming. He rushed over and stopped in front of Perfected Huang Long and Guang Chengzi.

　　Zhao Gongming suddenly fell forward. Perfected Huang Long subconsciously supported him, but he barely supported him.

　　However…

　　With a cry, Zhao Gongming spat out a mouthful of blood. His body trembled violently. He raised his hand and grabbed Perfected Huang Long. He shouted, “Senior Brother Huang Long, quickly, help me heal. My old illness has acted up again!”

　　Perfected Huang Long was instantly at a loss. As for Zhao Gongming, twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls floated around him. However, they happened to block the path of Guang Chengzi and Perfected Huang Long.

　　It was a damned gentle version.

　　Li Changshou’s voice sounded again. “If you two senior brothers don’t speak, I’ll pretend that Chan School will not interfere. It’s a personal feud between me and Deputy Sect Master Randeng.”

　　Randeng squinted as a hint of ruthlessness flashed in them.

　　Guang Chengzi sighed. “Changgeng, don’t forget the agreement between the Dao Sect and the battle.”

　　“Senior Brother, you keep mentioning the agreement that the Dao Sects will not fight. However, you forgot that the agreement that the Dao Sects will not fight restricts the Chan School and Jie School. The content is to tell which side will start the conflict first. Ren School supports the other sect.

　　There are no restrictions. How should we deal with the conflict between Ren School and Chan School?”

　　Li Changshou asked, “What I care about now is Chan School’s attitude towards this matter. This is because I respect everyone in Chan School and don’t dare to be rude to Second Aunt-Master.”

　　Guang Chengzi was silent.

　　The Old Man of the South Pole sighed. “Forget it. I can’t interfere in this matter.”

　　Li Changshou nodded and said, “In that case, Chan School does not object to me finding Deputy Sect Master Randeng to seek revenge. Then…”

　　Li Changshou took a step forward. Water-blue light surged in his eyes, and the Cosmic Ruler in his hand trembled slightly.

　　Randeng subconsciously took half a step back and immediately sat cross-legged. The green lamp on his shoulder instantly merged into his Dao Body. A treasure wheel appeared behind him, and thousands of feet of green light shone around him!

　　This battle was inevitable!

　　In the green light, Randeng looked solemn. Layers of light surrounded him, and the Dao runes had an indescribable sense of stability.

　　On the other hand, Li Changshou did not activate his Great Dao Mystique. He held the Cosmic Ruler and took another step forward. Blood waves suddenly surged in his body, and the sound of waves surging could be heard.

　　His blood energy was like smoke, and his Dao Body was like a god!

　　The surface trump card: Eight-Nine Arcane Art!

　　At that moment, the 108 prayer beads had been put away and the Glazed Pagoda had long fallen into Li Changshou’s hands. The weak Cosmic Ruler had also been taken away by the Heavenly Courts. Although his Dao was revealed and he was sacred and dignified, he still felt a little shabby.

　　On the other hand, Li Changshou, the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, the Cosmic Ruler, the Heart-Piercing Lock, and the Earth Flame Flag protected his essence soul. He also had the Yin-Yang Taiji Painting that he could use at any time.

　　The difficulty today was not how to kill Randeng, but how to kill him at the smallest price during the clash between the various factions!

　　He had given Chan School face.

　　He had established the dignity of the Heavenly Courts.

　　As long as he could kill Randeng today and make him perish in the Heavenly Courts, the Heavenly Courts’ authority would be stable!

　　Killing Randeng could resolve the difficulties of the future.

　　Although the two of them did not have the enmity of killing their master, they had been at odds with each other since the first time they met. Now, they were going to fight to the death.

　　Whoosh…

　　A hurried sound of air being torn apart sounded from behind the lamp. However, Randeng did not even look at it. The green light around him suddenly retracted, leaving only a hundred feet in diameter. However, it was layered and seemingly corporeal!

　　The arrowhead that pierced through the Heart Lock appeared out of thin air. However, it only stopped beside Randeng and was five feet away from his shoulder.

　　The thin chain appeared one foot after another. It shone with golden light of merit and did not advance any further!

　　Randeng sneered. “Small…”

　　Buzz!

　　There was suddenly the sound of air being torn apart above his head. A sharp edge seemed to be right in front of him!

　　Randeng’s spiritual perception jumped wildly. He subconsciously looked up and saw another Li Changshou appear above him. His green clothes were bulging, and his blood aura was restrained. His body was like a taut bow. He raised his spear with both hands and smashed it at Randeng’s head!

　　Li Changshou, who was in front of him, was motionless. The blood aura around him dissipated, and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda and the Cosmic Ruler shot towards Li Changshou’s true body.

　　The person who had taken off his clothes and revealed his perfect Dao Body was actually a paper effigy…

　　Randeng’s protective mystical ability was slashed open by the spear tip of the God-Slaying Spear. He only had time to raise his hand and push out a palm to receive the God-Slaying Spear with his palm!

　　The green light around him retracted wildly. The treasure wheel behind his head shone brightly.

　　Amidst the rumbling sounds, the universe trembled and clouds rose!

　　The Lingxiao Hall shone with golden light. Layers of golden light enveloped the Lingxiao Hall.

　　The expensive jade slab in front of the hall had already been smashed through by Randeng. Li Changshou followed closely behind. He used the Cosmic Ruler in his left hand and the God-Slaying Spear in his right hand to create afterimages, as if he wanted to beat Randeng into meat sauce.

　　As the clouds churned, a shallow pit that was 1,000 feet in diameter appeared on the Wall of Heaven.

　　Randeng’s left forearm was broken and bleeding. At that moment, he was using his treasure light to resist Li Changshou’s attack.

　　The Cosmic Ruler was unfathomable, but it had the potential to sever the universe.

　　Although the God-Slaying Spear was damaged, it was a Chaos Connate numinous treasure. It was similar to the Cosmic Ruler’s attack and defense.

　　Li Changshou circulated the Eight-Nine Arcane Art and activated the two treasures. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda protected him and completely ignored Randeng’s scattered attacks. Every time the ruler shadows and spear shadows landed, they would add some injuries to Randeng.

　　He was passive in one move and was passive everywhere.

　　Randeng really did not expect Li Changshou to use such a method and plan so far ahead. He had prepared a sneak attack from the beginning.

　　He had deceived everyone and secretly made plans!

　　The three treasures were augmented on the paper effigy. His main body was hiding in the dark. When he was distracted, he would kill him with all his might!

　　At that moment, there was a hint of regret in Randeng’s eyes. His lips trembled, but he did not make a sound. He could only resist Li Changshou’s attack with all his might.

　　Even if he had no bottom line, he could not beg for mercy now…

　　Yes!

　　Before his mystical abilities were completely broken, he had to think of a way to survive.

　　In the shadow of the spear and ruler, Randeng suddenly saw Li Changshou’s eyes.

　　No, he was still plotting!

　　Randeng suddenly realized that he had misjudged the strength of this disciple of Ren School.

　　To be able to completely suppress him meant that the Dao Realm was not far from his. According to the conclusion that he had secretly investigated, this child’s Great Dao of Equalization could be used on experts who were stronger than him.

　　At that moment, he could no longer resist Randeng. If the Great Dao of Equalization appeared, it would be enough to instantly cause him to bleed and suffer serious injuries even if it only weakened his cultivation by 30%.

　　He was waiting…

　　He was still waiting!

　　Wait for the person behind to appear!

　　“Li Changgeng!”

　　Randeng roared. Suddenly, a green flame appeared on his forehead. The Dao runes around him suddenly expanded, and his severed arm was wrapped in immortal light. His body actually wanted to blow Li Changshou away.

　　Burning his essence soul!

　　Burn the spirit lamp oil!

　　Rumbling sounds suddenly came from Li Changshou’s body. Ancient blood patterns crawled from his neck to his face. His strength increased by 30%. The Cosmic Ruler in his hand smashed down and instantly destroyed Randeng’s counterattack!

　　“A shallow trump card: The Magi Battle Technique that the Lady of Earth gave me.”

　　Randeng shouted angrily. Li Changshou looked angry, but his Dao heart was extremely calm. He clearly analyzed every stream of immortal power that Randeng circulated and every divine power that surged back.

　　To be safe, he would only wait for an hour. If the expert who could really save Randeng did not appear in an hour, he would use the Great Dao of Equalization to let Randeng die.

　　In the Grand White Palace, Bai Ze maintained the appearance of an auspicious beast. Three long feathers were tied to Li Changshou’s paper effigy’s arm. He used the power of Li Changshou’s essence soul to sense Li Changshou’s luck.

　　As long as Bai Ze sensed the change in luck, no matter how small it was, it would directly shout at Li Changshou.

　　In the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother sat on the throne. The righteous gods of the Heavenly Courts had been brought back to the Lingxiao Hall by the Jade Emperor.

　　The immortals, gods, and Heavenly Generals looked outside from near the hall door and praised endlessly.

　　Long Ji was naturally the most nervous. She stood at the front and crossed her fingers in front of her, afraid that her master would be restrained by an ancient mighty figure like Randeng.

　　General Dongmu’s expression was the most emotional. After all, he had witnessed Li Changshou’s rise.

　　Look at Changgeng. From the little god who met the Jade Emperor and him in the Sea God Temple back then to the true thigh of the Heavenly Courts that could continuously suppress the ancient mighty figures…

　　General Dongmu remained the same. He only added an “ex” in front of the second-in-command of the Heavenly Courts…

　　The Jade Emperor sat on the throne and closed his eyes without saying a word. His mind was focused on his incarnation in case of emergencies.

　　At that moment, the Jade Emperor did not understand…

　　Since Changgeng wants to kill Randeng, why is he deliberately stalling?

　　Quan Dong pondered carefully for a while and quickly shook his head.

　　Changgeng must have his own plans for that matter. I will wait and see.

　　…

　　Li Changshou divided the plan into two types. The first was a plan that followed the prescribed order and was carried out normally. He clearly marked the beginning and the purpose of the plan and carried it out step by step.

　　The second method was to make the plan in advance, but not set the time to start the plan and find an opportunity to carry it out.

　　For example, he had schemed against Randeng this time.

　　Li Changshou had long prepared the case of the Youqin Clan. He had prepared the schemes and excuses that he would use today and had deduced everything.

　　It was not a premeditated plan, but he had made all the arrangements in advance.

　　There was only one decisive factor that triggered the “Randeng Destruction Plan”—

　　Randeng entered the Heavenly Courts.

　　If the Youqin Clan’s case could not make Randeng submit, Li Changshou would use his personal grudge to initiate a one-sided battle with Randeng.

　　In the Heavenly Courts, his teacher was above him, and the Jade Emperor was on his side.

　　Even if the Heavenly Dao wanted to protect Randeng and let him cause trouble in the final God-Conferment Tribulation, Li Changshou was 90% confident that he could snatch Randeng’s life away from the Heavenly Dao.

　　However, his plan was not just that.

　　The first target of the plan was Randeng, and the second target was actually the Western Sect.

　　Randeng was the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, but his position in Chan School was very awkward. There were not many disciples of Chan School who really took him seriously.

　　Why would Second Uncle-Master Primordial Beginning allow Randeng to cause trouble?

　　There was the factor of the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning wanting to use the Burning Lamp Scissors to trim the leaves of Jie School. There should also be a scheme between Saints.

　　If Second Uncle-Master knew that Randeng was a hidden pawn of the Western Sect, he would have deliberately schemed against the Western Sect and placed Randeng in an important position. He would even have the twelve Golden Immortals call Randeng their teacher.

　　How could Second Uncle-Master not know?

　　There was, but the possibility was very low…

　　However, in the original God-Conferment Scroll, the battle between the Chan School and Chan School continued to escalate. Although Chan School had relied on the Western Sect to promote and receive the two Saints to attack, they had defeated Jie School. However, Chan School did not obtain any benefits.

　　Randeng obtained twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and betrayed the Western Sect. He received guidance from the Heavenly Dao and evolved the twenty-four heavens. He filled the nine heavens of the Heavenly Courts and formed the thirty-three Heavenly Worlds. He obtained boundless merit.

　　What are these?

　　That was equivalent to Randeng giving the destiny and the foundation of merit to the Western Sect.

　　Li Changshou had a clear idea when he was thinking about the entire Great God-Conferment Tribulation and the many important matters before and after.

　　In the past two hundred years, as his Dao realm had deepened and his understanding of the Heavenly Dao had deepened, he had also borrowed the Primordial Violet Vapor of the Kun Peng to have an indirect connection with the Heavenly Dao. He had obtained a lot of information that he had not seen before.

　　Firstly, the Heavenly Dao had a powerful ability to control the script.

　　Although the God-Conferment situation had changed drastically and the Western Sect had officially entered the calamity, they could not watch the flames from the shore like before. However, what about the story after the calamity?

　　There was a story line that Li Changshou had “seen”. It was also the original story line of the late-stage of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

　　Daoist Wen Jing was secretly instigated by Ren School. When she was receiving Zhun Ti and rushing to help Chan School, she sucked a twelfth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit, causing it to fall to the ninth-grade. The foundation of the Western Sect’s luck was on the verge of collapse.

　　However, the Saint of the Western Sect sent three thousand immortals to Jie School.

　　The Western Sect no longer had anything to suppress the destiny of the sect. The destiny of the sect could collapse at any time. They had fallen into the awkward situation of Jie School previously.

　　This gave him the possibility of transforming into a Buddha and using the Buddhist Sect to replace the Western Sect to prosper in the Western Sect. From there, he could complete the possibility that the Dao Ancestor would determine the prosperity of the Western Sect.

　　After that, the Sect Master of Ren School, the Grand Pure One, descended to the mortal world to travel. He imparted the Daoist sutra and left the valley to plot against Hu Wei. He captured Daoist Duobao during the Great God-Conferment War and made him the master of Buddhism.

　　At that moment, although the Western Sect was one step behind, they hurriedly counterattacked. Randeng, who had obtained twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, stood up and deduced the twenty-four heavens before betraying the Western Sect.

　　The luck of the Western Sect increased greatly. With this counterattack, they built the Mahayana Sect, Zhun Ti, and turned it into the current Buddha, Gautama. They reduced the Buddhist sect that Daoist Duobao had established to a low-level Buddhist sect and established themselves in the Western Sect.

　　Randeng was conferred the title of the Buddha of the past. He was brought to the Western Sect by Randeng. During the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, he transferred Wen Shu, Pu Xian, Ju Liusun, and Ci Hang. They each received a reward and became experts with real power in the Buddhist Sect.

　　The treasures turned into the Buddha of Many Treasures, but they were no longer useful. Instead, they gave the Buddhist Sect the destiny of a boundless numinous treasure.

　　Perhaps the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning had schemed to let his disciple obtain the luck of the Western Sect.

　　The Buddhist Sect had prospered and obtained the protection of the Heavenly Dao to help the Heavenly Courts stabilize the Three Realms.

　　The Dao Sect had lost Jie School and Chan School. They were no longer able to compete with the Buddhists. Since then, the Buddhism has been less prosperous, and there has been a Western trip.

　　That was the original script of the Heavenly Dao.

　　From the results, Chan School was the loser. Regardless of how Second Uncle-Master, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, schemed, Li Changshou could not let it go. He had to make his own plans.

　　Randeng had played too much of a role in the subsequent events.

　　Although Li Changshou had already taken away the Copper Coin of Treasurefall, the calamity that Master Zhao was destined to face, Li Changshou had repeatedly reminded Zhao Gongming to comprehend his Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

　　However, as long as Randeng was alive, Li Changshou felt unstable.

　　Although he liked to be safe, he was also a person who knew how to repay favors. Most of what he had was given to him by Grand Pure One. Without the protection of Ren School, he would most likely have been killed by the Heavenly Dao.

　　Therefore, he did not want to disappoint his teacher.

　　Even if the Dao Sect was going to decline, they had to pull the Western Sect along. They had to destroy the foundation of the Western Sect first before anything else.

　　In fact, as long as the Dao Sect did not have any competitors, the Heavenly Dao would let Li Changshou help Chan School and weaken Chan School and Jie School at the same time. Li Changshou was willing to be the villain.

　　In his God-Conferment plan, he had a complete set of schemes and backup plans for transforming the beard into a Buddha.

　　The battle between the great sects was actually a battle for luck.

　　If he did not have sufficient luck, he would weaken in the blink of an eye.

　　The Heavenly Dao Saint could not defeat the Heavenly Dao itself.

　　Li Changshou’s plan was actually very simple. It was to have two obstructions and two promotions.

　　The first thing he did was to stop Randeng from obtaining the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl. That coincided with his plan to protect Master Zhao and the Three Xiao Immortals.

　　The second obstacle was to prevent the Western Sect from obtaining all opportunities to replenish their destiny.

　　The two promotions were:

　　Pushing Chan School and the Western Sect to go against each other.

　　Pushing Daoist Duobao to establish the Mahayana Buddhist Sect and become the future Buddha.

　　He would contribute his meager strength to Teacher’s plan to transform his beard into Buddha!

　　Therefore, today, Li Changshou wanted to kill Randeng, but he could not kill him directly. He had already considered all the possibilities of “something unexpected might happen” and chose the safest choice.

　　He had to admit that Li Changshou had gambled this time.

　　He was gambling on whether the Receiving Saint knew that Randeng had the ability to deduce the twenty-four heavens to complete the Heavenly Courts and the Heavenly Dao in the future.

　　That gave the Western Sect a choice.

　　When they chose to save Randeng, Li Changshou completely exposed the relationship between Randeng and the Western Sect.

　　The news that the Western Sect had planted spies in Chan School for many years and deliberately caused a conflict between them would spread throughout the five continents in a few hours. Jie School could launch a crusade against the Western Sect in advance, and Chan School could not interfere.

　　In fact, for the sake of reputation, the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning would even join forces with Jie School to attack the spiritual mountain.

　　Li Changshou killed Randeng when he chose not to save Zhun Ti. It also had the effect of stopping the prosperity of the Western Sect.

　　Steadiness.

　　The choice was with the Western Sect.

　　That would depend on how much Randeng’s life was worth in the eyes of the two Saints of the Western Sect.

　　At that moment, Li Changshou’s plan had nothing to do with Guang Chengzi and the Old Man of the South Pole.

　　No one could figure out what Li Changshou was plotting.

　　It was mainly because they knew too little information. The intelligence was severely uneven.

　　“Li Changgeng! I’ll fight you to the death today!”

　　Daoist Randeng shouted. The flames on his forehead were a little blinding. At that moment, his entire body was filled with dents. Half of his bones were shattered, and he looked rather terrifying.

　　At that moment, Randeng raised his left hand, which had just recovered a moment ago. The universe behind Li Changshou trembled slightly. A stone coffin made of limestone appeared out of thin air and suppressed Li Changshou’s back!

　　As soon as the coffin appeared, the entire Heavenly Courts dimmed. There were wisps of extremely obscure Dao runes on it.

　　Li Changshou did not even look back. The Cosmic Ruler in his left hand flew out and collided with the green stone coffin!

　　The Cosmic Ruler and the stone coffin were relatively slow. At the moment the two of them collided, layers of ripples appeared in the universe, and shock waves shot out in all directions.

　　Fortunately, the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts had already retreated hundreds of kilometers. If they were within a 50-kilometer radius, countless Heavenly Soldiers would be killed.

　　Only the Heavenly Courts had the protection of the Heavenly Dao. Every flower and grass could be indestructible. The universe was also extremely stable.

　　Otherwise, this place would have long been in ruins. There were cosmic rifts and black holes everywhere.

　　In the battle between the two treasures, the Grand Pure One’s Cosmic Ruler was superior. The stone coffin was sent flying, but the Cosmic Ruler also suffered a huge backlash, as if the stone coffin was quite heavy.

　　At this moment!

　　Immortal light surged around Randeng. The lid of the stone coffin opened a crack, and a black beam shot out!

　　Li Changshou’s hair stood on end. He took the initiative to give up on suppressing the Randeng. He suddenly turned around and stared at the gap revealed by the stone coffin. The God-Slaying Spear in his hand pointed at the black light.

　　Clang!

　　Li Changshou’s figure was sent flying. Randeng used the momentum to rush into the sky from the huge pit!

　　“Treasure, please turn around!”

　　With a soft shout and a flash of white light, the huge gourd that had appeared beside Li Changshou unknowingly spat out a white ray of light. Randeng could not avoid it and was immediately hit on the neck.

　　His essence soul was severely injured!

　　However, at that moment, the stone coffin was lowered and the lamp was forward. An old hand had already reached into the opening of the stone coffin.

　　Li Changshou watched coldly from the side. Anger burned in his eyes, but he did not attack.

　　Resplendent immortal light shone. Randeng’s injuries healed rapidly. He sat cross-legged on the stone coffin, and flames flickered on his forehead. The treasure wheel behind his head rotated. It was actually so holy.

　　Randeng sneered and said, “Li Changgeng, do you really think that I only have that ability since ancient times? You can’t kill me today. If this continues, the Heavenly Courts will only become a laughing stock. Why don’t we stop the battle and end the feud?”

　　Li Changshou took a deep breath and let the God-Slaying Spear circle around him. He raised his left hand and pointed his sword at the sky.

　　A black cloud quickly condensed above the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and floated above Li Changshou’s head.

　　Li Changshou pointed his sword at Randeng and his stone coffin and shouted, “Use the Heavenly Eye! Open!”

　　The black cloud surged like flames. A vertical eye appeared inside. A beam of divine light shot out from the bottom of the eye and hit the stone coffin under the lamp.

　　A projection appeared around Randeng. Randeng’s expression changed. Just as he was about to move, he was restrained by the heavenly might.

　　The projection…

　　At some point in time, somewhere, it seemed to be the end of the ancient times and the trichiliocosm.

　　In a world where singing and dancing were peaceful, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the human race was flourishing. The day suddenly fell into endless darkness. A coffin appeared in the sky. The lid of the coffin was lifted, and black fog scattered out.

　　After a while, the black fog enveloped the entire Chiliocosm and pulled the Chiliocosm into the coffin.

　　The stone coffin disappeared into the void. It led the countless living beings inside to cry out miserably. It quickly refined the Chiliocosm and turned it into endless vitality.

　　There were three to four similar scenes in the projection.

　　The immortals of the Heavenly Courts were naturally shocked and angry when they saw that scene. The fairies turned pale and the Heavenly Generals drew their swords.

　　In the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor slammed the table and cursed angrily.

　　The Old Man of the South Pole and Guang Chengzi looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.

　　He refined the living beings of a few Major Chiliocosms to replenish his vitality…

　　Let alone the ancient Connate lifeforms, such matters could already be compared to the evil deeds of the Fiend Ancestor.

　　Li Changshou suddenly felt that he could still have a backup plan for his plan. However, he could not let Randeng leave the Heavenly Courts today.

　　An hour is too long.

　　I’ll make a choice now. The Western Sect.

　　The sword fingers on his left hand turned into five fingers and spread open. Li Changshou’s expression was cold. A wisp of water-blue Dao runes spread out and enveloped an area of 5,000 kilometers.

　　Balance, the Dao Realm of Randeng and Bian Zhuang.

　　On the stone coffin, Old Daoist Randeng’s body trembled slightly. His face was a little pale. He forcefully activated the power of his essence soul, but he felt that his immortal power was completely unable to circulate…

　　In the next moment, Li Changshou held the God-Slaying Spear tightly and put away the Cosmic Ruler and the Heart-Piercing Lock. He took a deep breath and wisps of spiritual energy vortexes appeared by his mouth. His long hair kept floating upwards.

　　The Eight-Nine Arcane Art was a battle technique of the Magi.

　　It was the Grand Pure One’s mystic technique.

　　The Five-Element Escape, Cosmic Cave.

　　Those with guns should press forward!

　　Charge!

　　Li Changshou’s figure was almost torn apart by the resistance of the universe. He pulled out a green and red beam of light in front of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall!

　　At that moment, the time scale was broken down to an extremely small size. The universe was like a curtain of water and rain, and a crack was opened by the beam of light…

　　It was so fast that the light was blurry and his immortal senses could not capture it.

　　Even the Golden Immortal God could barely see the situation with his immortal senses.

　　Taibai Jinxing’s spear seemed to have the power to destroy the world, but he focused all his power on the tip of the God-Slaying Spear and instantly rushed in front of Daoist Randeng.

　　Randeng only had time to send a palm strike forward. At that moment, he, who could not use any treasures, was really suffering.

　　Two figures crossed each other. Randeng was still sitting quietly on the stone coffin. However, Li Changshou stopped in the sky above the Lingxiao Hall and turned around.

　　Old Daoist Randeng kept raising his hand.

　　The flame on his forehead suddenly shattered, and an ant-sized blood spot appeared. Then, the blood spot turned into a blood line that extended from his forehead to his nose bridge and chin…

　　Li Changshou split his Dao Body into two!

　　However!

　　The stone coffin erupted with seven-colored immortal light. The two parts of Old Daoist Randeng’s body that were about to separate were stuck together again. Randeng closed his eyes tightly. His essence soul, which had clearly been crushed by Li Changshou just now, was actually pieced together again.

　　What mystical ability was that?

　　Li Changshou did not say a word. He turned around and attacked with his spear. He resisted the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda that was cursing in his Dao heart and turned into a second beam of green and red light.

　　In the blink of an eye, it pierced through Randeng’s Dao Body again!

　　This time, Randeng seemed to be unresponsive during his recovery.

　　However, just as Li Changshou stopped, Randeng’s remnant body pieced together and grew again. His essence soul could regenerate on its own even if it was destroyed.

　　Why?

　　Li Changshou’s eyes were filled with confusion. He scanned his surroundings with his immortal senses and took in the expressions of the immortals of Chan School.

　　Clearly, they did not know that Randeng had such abilities.

　　There was something strange about the stone coffin.

　　Just as the thought of trying to balance the stone coffin surfaced in his heart, his spiritual perception jumped slightly.

　　Li Changshou used the same trick again. This time, he did not stop. His body turned into beams of light that continuously pierced through Randeng’s Dao Body.

　　Crush, smash, burn, and attack the stone coffin…

　　Li Changshou kept trying and gradually understood something.

　　Randeng’s background might not be simple.

　　In the ancient times, the Dao Ancestor had preached the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace. Why did Randeng not go? Was Randeng too arrogant, or was there another reason?

　　Li Changshou pondered for a long time about the twenty-four heavens. He could not figure out why Randeng could obtain the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

　　What is in the stone coffin? Why do I feel a chill when I want to put on the Great Dao of Equalization?

　　Soon, an idea flashed in Li Changshou’s mind. He stopped again and looked at Daoist Randeng, who was quickly piecing together and healing. He already had an idea.

　　The Divine Power Treasure, the Martial Flag, appeared behind him. He shouted softly, “Heavenly Punishment!”

　　The Heavenly Courts rumbled with thunder. Black clouds surged over and quickly condensed into a gray cloud above Randeng’s head.

　　At that moment, Randeng was motionless. He closed his eyes and meditated.

　　Bolts of lightning erupted from the gray cloud, causing Randeng’s Dao Body to shatter again. The power of the Heavenly Dao brazenly struck the stone coffin, causing it to fall from the sky.

　　Li Changshou pondered for a while and suddenly recalled how Randeng had taken the initiative to absorb the coffin lamp into his body when the battle began. He was enlightened.

　　The main body of Randeng might be very mysterious. It might have originated from the stone coffin, or perhaps it was something buried in the stone coffin.

　　Assuming that a Great Dao and True Spirit resonated in the ancient times, a powerful Connate lifeform was born. After he died, his body was buried in the stone coffin and buried in the Spirit Vulture Mountain.

　　Then, the corpse in the stone coffin gave birth to intelligence and turned into Daoist Randeng?

　　That’s not right.

　　If the Spirit Coffin Lamp and the stone coffin were a set of Dharma treasures, the vitality and spiritual energy provided by the stone coffin would be “lamp oil”, the Spirit Coffin Lamp would be “lamp wick”, and the lamp would be…

　　That small flame?

　　He kept hitting the ball of flames, but he was only consuming a small amount of “lamp oil”. The “lamp wick” could continue to burn.

　　The main point was the lamp wick, the coffin lamp!

　　Only by extinguishing the wick could he completely destroy the small flame without burning all the oil.

　　The actions of Randeng refining the Chiliocosm in the ancient times could be explained logically.

　　He replenished the lamp oil.

　　The Primordial World was huge. There were all kinds of strange things.

　　Li Changshou took a deep breath and hesitated.

　　He had a way to use the Spirit Coffin lamp, but wouldn’t he have exposed too many of his trump cards…

　　Li Changshou immediately shouted, “Brother Gongming! Lend me the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl!”

　　Zhao Gongming, who had already stood up, was stunned when he heard that. However, without hesitation, he pushed the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls towards Li Changshou.

　　Li Changshou’s spiritual will suddenly received twenty-four spiritual wills. These spiritual wills chattered in his heart like children.

　　“Lord Taibai Jinxing, why are you using us?”

　　“Lord Taibai Jinxing is Master’s brother-in-law. We will definitely help.”

　　“When will Lord Taibai Jinxing marry Aunt Yun Xiao? I asked on behalf of Master!”

　　“Behave yourselves! What are you arguing about!?! If you talk about this after the fight, you’ll suffocate!”

　　The Pagoda Master shouted and the twenty-four spiritual wills immediately quietened down. All of them seemed to be trying to curry favor.

　　The evil forces of the treasure circle.

　　Li Changshou felt enlightened. He had already activated the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

　　Then, he carried gazes and layers of immortal senses. The Mysterious Yellow Pagoda was above his head, and he was accompanied by the Cosmic Ruler and the God-Slaying Spear. The Floating Flame Flag appeared under his feet. Behind him, the Divine Power rose up with the Soap Martial Flag and approached the stone coffin with the twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls.

　　He could not guarantee that a peerless mighty figure would suddenly appear…

　　Be steady.

　　“Teacher, please bestow the Taiji Painting!”

　　Li Changshou shouted loudly. The image of the Taiji Painting immediately appeared in front of him. The image quickly condensed.

　　He was protected by a mysterious treasure.

　　Li Changshou safely arrived 1,000 feet in front of the stone coffin and formed a simple seal with both hands.

　　The twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls flew out like a swarm of bees. They occupied twenty positions from top to bottom and enveloped the stone coffin and lamp in the center of the circle.

　　“Drink!”

　　Li Changshou shouted. The twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls shone brightly. Water-blue light surged out from them. Every ray of light contained the amount of water from the South Continent’s river and surged towards the gap of the stone coffin!

　　The Heavenly Courts’ Water God had no difficulty controlling the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl.

　　The stone coffin was about to close immediately. Li Changshou waved his left hand, and the Little God-Slaying Spear flew forward and stuck in the gap of the stone coffin.

　　In just a moment, hundreds of water-blue lights entered the stone coffin.

　　On the stone coffin, Randeng’s figure suddenly became a little transparent and dim. He, who was originally faking his death to recover, lowered his head weakly and disappeared.

　　The flames were extinguished.

　　The Sea-Calming Divine Pearl is both the opportunity of Randeng and his nemesis?

　　This Dao is really mysterious.

　　However, Li Changshou did not let his guard down. He observed the movements of the stone coffin and continued to let the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl inject endless seawater.

　　After a while, a wisp of water light appeared at the edge of the stone coffin. Li Changshou immediately retracted the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl and used his divine power to create a transparent barrier around the stone coffin to prevent such a farce from happening in the Lingxiao Hall.

　　Nothing happened?

　　Li Changshou was about to test it when the coffin lid of the stone coffin suddenly opened slowly. The God-Slaying Spear returned on its own.

　　A pale hand was pressed on the edge of the stone coffin, and the sound of water splashing could be heard…

　　An old Daoist priest slowly stood up from inside. There was a huge hole in his chest. Boundless life force and spiritual energy surged from his body, but he did not have any vitality or spirituality.

　　The old Daoist priest’s face was somewhat similar to Randeng’s. His eyes were calm as he looked at Li Changshou. He did not speak, but his voice was spreading everywhere.

　　“You win. Can you leave my remnant body behind? I will naturally escape to the Chaos Sea. Randeng is just a thought that was born in the ancient times after I died. Three lifetimes, three deaths, three reincarnations. This thought has been destroyed by you.”

　　Li Changshou held the God-Slaying Spear and the Cosmic Ruler tightly.

　　“Forget it.” The old Daoist priest shook his head and lay back down on the coffin. Wisps of cold aura surged out of the coffin. In the blink of an eye, the coffin was frozen and turned into a thousand-feet-tall ice mountain.

　　A lone lamp floated outside the ice. It was the coffin lamp.

　　Li Changshou raised his spear and walked forward. He naturally could not leave this scourge behind.

　　However, just as he was about to move, the Grand Pure Dao runes appeared and his heartstrings fluctuated. His teacher actually reminded him.

　　“Just put the lamp away.”

　　“Yes, I understand.”

　　Li Changshou bowed to the sky and attracted the ancient lamp. He used his divine power to suppress it.

　　The Taiji Painting moved forward on its own and transformed into wisps of Yin and Yang Qi. It suppressed and sealed the ice mountain and moved it outside the Heavenly Courts…

　　Li Changshou looked in the direction of the Western Heavenly Gate and pursed his lips. He looked at the ancient lamp in front of him.
