Chapter 554: Maitreya Curses!

　　It was the 35th year since Li Changshou left the Goddess’s Palace with the Golden Roc.

　　In the Outer World’s Xuandu City.

　　“Tsk.”

　　Great Daoist Master Xuan Du frowned and looked at the endless number of otherworldly demons in the gray aura in front of him. He was slightly angry.

　　Did he really think that he was not angry when he woke up?

　　Isn’t that too much?

　　In the past few decades, he had launched an attack once every few years. Ten years ago, he had launched an attack once every few months. Now, he has launched it a few times a month!

　　The otherworldly demons had no choice but to use the Xuandu City to get rid of the extraterrestrial demons during their peak production season?

　　Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was confused. He had been guarding the Xuandu City since ancient times. He had never encountered such a situation.

　　In the past, he could take a look around when he was free. Once he was sick of visiting the trichiliocosm, he could even go to the Chaos Sea to explore.

　　Why have the recent decades…

　　Thinking about it, that was more than thirty years ago. He had received news that his junior brother’s original sect, the Immortal Du Sect, had been schemed against by the Eldest Senior Brother of the Western Sect, Maitreya. Xiao Ji had died in battle and hundreds of disciples had died. His junior brother finally lost his footing and ran to destroy the sect of the Western Sect.

　　The Great Daoist Master was quite familiar with the Maitreya of the Western Sect. Maitreya had become a disciple before the two Saints of the Western Sect became Saints.

　　He was the disciple of the old Saint of the Primordial World.

　　In the ancient times, Maitreya had once taken advantage of the Great Magi-Demon War to cause trouble. However, his temperament was not good. During the second Great Magi-Demon War, he secretly controlled a few experts of the demon race and deliberately threw the blame on the human race.

　　At that time, the human race was weak. They were already living a difficult life between the two races. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du had no choice but to attack and chase after Maitreya for more than ten years. He made Maitreya stop completely and did not dare to go out and cause trouble.

　　After the Maitreya Meeting, he did not expect Maitreya to appear again and even target his junior brother.

　　Is he trying to vent his anger on Little Junior Brother?

　　By then…

　　Wouldn’t that be asking for a rebuff?

　　If he offended the Great Daoist Master, he would at most be able to be expiated and end everything with a slap.

　　Provoking my junior brother is not as simple as transcending!

　　His junior brother would definitely cover his face and shout, “Ah, I can’t beat him!”, “This is too cruel! I’m not your match, but I have to represent the Heavenly Dao to maintain justice!” As he pressed the other party to the ground, he would first feed the prawns and stuff a few pig hearts before transcending…

　　In terms of dirty tactics, the Great Daoist Master had never seen anyone who could dirty their junior brother!

　　That was a compliment.

　　When he heard the news more than thirty years ago, the Great Daoist Master wanted to go back and see if Little Changshou needed his help.

　　Although it was a joke, Maitreya’s cultivation level was still quite powerful. He was a true ancient mighty figure.

　　However, the otherworldly demons suddenly caused trouble and began to attack Xuandu City more frequently. They seemed to be eager to enter the Primordial World so that the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du could not slack off.

　　In the past few years, he had been unable to sleep!

　　Xuandu City was at the edge of the world. There was no news. Great Daoist Master Xuandu did not have the time to leave. The Heavenly Dao was blinded by the Great Tribulation and could not know what happened next.

　　More than ten years ago, the battle in Xuandu City was tense. His teacher had sent the Taiji Painting over. Only then did the Great Daoist Master understand that his Little Junior Brother had taken revenge on Maitreya over the years.

　　What the Taiji Painting said should have smeared Maitreya’s reputation. The Great Daoist Master did not ask about the details.

　　As long as his Junior Brother was fine, there was still hope for him to retire early.

　　Today, he stood on the city wall of Xuandu City, which was filled with the marks of time.

　　The Great Daoist Master looked at the black aura mixed with the Chaos aura. The Taiji Painting behind him was spinning at a constant speed.

　　In the ruins of the city, Dao soldiers were controlling the backup array foundations. They could change them at any time during the battle.

　　Xuandu City did not lack treasures or Spirit Stones. Dao weapons were only products of mystical abilities. They did not know fatigue or life and death. They would only complete their mission at all costs.

　　The Great Daoist Master could not help but sigh.

　　“It seems that if I don’t teach these guys a lesson, they won’t want me to rest for a while.”

　　A little spiritual perception came from the Taiji Painting. “You want to break the array?”

　　“Taiji Painting, protect this place.” The Great Daoist Master took a step forward. “You’re a little angry because of these ugly things. Go and vent your anger.”

　　After saying that, the Great Daoist Master took a step forward. Black and white aura suddenly surged out from his back!

　　As the light flickered, two Daoists who looked identical to him appeared. They were dressed in black and white robes.

　　The Three Pure Ones reduced the effects of youth!

　　The Great Daoist Master snorted softly. His main body and two incarnations raised their right hands at the same time. Three streams of light flew out of Xuandu City and turned into three rusty spears, swords, and longbows. They were held by three figures at the same time.

　　One step, three steps!

　　Three streams of light rushed into the Chaos Sea. The sword slashed the void, the spear flew out, and the bowstring trembled non-stop. In an instant, the black ocean was turned upside down…

　　After fighting for a few months, the Heavenly Fiend army was defeated.

　　The Great Daoist Master looked at the trembling black shadow in front of him and smiled faintly.

　　He had caught a big fish.

　　It had been a long time since he stretched his limbs so readily…

　　After the ancient battle, as the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect, there were very few opportunities for him to attack. Most of the time, it was enough for him to show his attitude.

　　The experts among the otherworldly demons were indeed a little troublesome. Many of them did not have physical bodies. They needed some secret techniques to prolong the battle.

　　The Great Daoist Master raised his hand and covered his mouth to yawn. The black shadow seemed to have found a flaw. It turned into a black beam of light and flew towards the Great Daoist Master’s glabella!

　　The Great Daoist Master grabbed the black light and held it in his palm. His originally lazy eyes suddenly emitted a sharp glow as he stared at the black shadow that was imprisoned in his palm.’

　　Green light surged in the Great Daoist Master’s eyes. The latter’s hair stood on end, and he let out ear-piercing screams that could shatter an ordinary Golden Immortal’s essence soul.

　　The otherworldly demons lost their demonic hearts!

　　The Great Daoist Master searched the other party’s Demon Heart. His face was filled with disdain, as if he was searching for the structure of a smelly ditch.

　　However, soon, the Great Daoist Master’s eyes lit up. He casually crushed the black light in his hand and flipped his hand to grab it. He used the Great Dao of Yin and Yang Taiji to give the current living beings Dao laws and definitions. He grabbed a colorful fragment.

　　The fragment was equivalent to the remnant soul of an otherworldly demon. However, it was easier to understand thanks to the Great Daoist Master’s mystical abilities.

　　The Great Daoist Master looked in the direction where the two incarnations were chasing. He quietly retracted his incarnation and took a step forward. He returned to the city wall of Xuandu City and sat behind the Taiji Painting.

　　During the battle previously, the otherworldly demons took the opportunity to attack the Xuandu City. However, the “experts” were held back and defeated by the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du. Their attacks were firmly blocked by the Taiji Painting.

　　Such a charge could reduce the pressure on the various array formations in the Xuandu City. The Dao soldiers could better deal with the next wave of battle…

　　Boss Tu’s spiritual perception reached the Great Daoist Master’s heart. “What is this?”

　　“An interesting memory.” The Great Daoist Master smiled and played with the fragment in his hand. After some thought, he formed a seal with his right hand and pointed at the fragment.

　　The fragments exploded with a bang, and bits of stardust shot out a blurry image.

　　In the dark corner of the Chaos Sea, there was an indescribable otherworldly demon that looked extremely ugly. There were countless otherworldly demons floating around.

　　Black gas kept floating out of the bloated Heavenly Demon’s body. The black gas quickly turned into new otherworldly demons…

　　The Great Daoist Master was slightly surprised. “The Heavenly Fiend Supremacy has recovered?”

　　“Or the ancient one?”

　　“It should be one of the Connate Godfiends that survived the Heaven-Opening Tribulation.”

　　The Great Daoist Master clicked his tongue in wonder and formed another seal. Immediately, there were sounds of squeaking, croaking, and buzzing.

　　The Great Daoist Master was stunned. However, Boss Tu could analyze those words and cast his spiritual perception into the Great Daoist Master’s heart, causing his eyes to gradually widen.

　　“Kill Taibai Jinxing!”

　　“Kill Taibai Jinxing!”

　　“Saints cannot be slandered. We must make Taibai Jinxing pay the price!”

　　“When have we, the otherworldly demons, been bullied like this! Kill Taibai!”

　　“If you destroy my Heaven, I will stab your spine! Destroy Taibai Jinxing!”

　　“Well?”

　　The Great Daoist Master was dumbfounded. “What did Changshou do? Why is the hatred on the otherworldly demons?”

　　The Taiji Painting was rather calm. It asked, “The Heavenly Fiend Supremacy seems to be a female living being?”

　　The Great Daoist Master was speechless. He felt uncomfortable.

　　An hour later, a special jade token was wrapped in Yin and Yang Qi. It flew into the vortex in the middle of the Xuandu City and returned to the Primordial World. It crossed the trichiliocosm and shot towards the Heavenly Courts.

　　“What has Junior Brother done all these years?”

　　At the same time, in a certain Sector at the edge of the trichiliocosm.

　　A green-furred dog that was tied up by an immortal rope turned its head and looked at the tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals behind it. It felt the pressure of the Heavenly Emperor Demon-Slaying Sword in the arms of the Golden-Winged Roc closest to it. It could not help but sigh softly.

　　Thirty-five years, it had been thirty-five years!

　　He looked at the Netherworld and could not hear his master!

　　Truth Listener did not know if Lord Taibai Jinxing was the strongest orthodox god of the Heavenly Courts, but he was definitely the most ruthless one.

　　After wandering outside and helping the Heavenly Courts get rid of a large number of otherworldly demons lurking at the edge of the Three Thousand Worlds, he had already accepted the identity of the Heavenly Courts’ Dharma treasure beast!

　　Beast life was difficult.

　　As for the schemes of the otherworldly demons…

　　Who cares about Truth Listener?

　　If you have the ability, get the Connate Godfiends controlling them to come to the Primordial World to take revenge. The Heavenly Dao will teach the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder a lesson in a moment!

　　Thinking about it, it was not bad for him to be in the Heavenly Courts.

　　Truth Listener wanted to use this opportunity to pull itself together, but it could not help but sigh softly. It opened its eyes and transmitted what it had heard to the Golden-Winged Roc.

　　The Golden Roc’s eyes flashed, and his figure disappeared.

　　In a flash, a sanguine glow flashed. The divine sword was mighty.

　　Black gas was quickly purified. The Golden-Winged Roc maintained its human form. Two golden wings extended from its back, and its body was projected everywhere in the Chiliocosm.

　　“By the orders of the heavens, I have obtained the Jade Emperor’s permission to hold the order of the Great White Star Lord! Today, I will kill the otherworldly demons lurking outside this region and protect all living beings in the world! If any Qi Refinement cultivators discover the otherworldly demons and kill them to collect their demonic aura, they can come to the Heavenly Courts to receive their rewards!”

　　The world was silent. The Golden-Winged Roc’s figure flashed and began to lead the army to leave the place. It entered the second wave of investigation.

　　The otherworldly demons were very cunning. It was far from enough to investigate once.

　　Golden Roc took out the “Thirty-six Moves of Exorcism” that his teacher had written. His eyes were filled with admiration.

　　Truth Listener, who was lying on the throne and tied the dog chain, glanced at the jade slip in the Golden Roc’s hand from the corner of its eye and subconsciously trembled.

　　…

　　His leisurely immortal life recently…

　　In the Little Qiong Peak of the Grand White Palace, Li Changshou stretched and yawned on the rocking chair in front of the Pill Chamber. His immortal senses flowed slowly like water.

　　There were new guests in the chess room in the past decade. Long Ji, the eldest disciple, also had the authority to enter the Little Qiong Peak.

　　It was also because Long Ji was Ling’e’s best friend in the Heavenly Courts. Li Changshou was afraid that Ling’e would be a little depressed while cultivating, so he wanted Long Ji to accompany her.

　　Speaking of Long Ji, there was something that made Li Changshou speechless.

　　Long Ji’s Golden Immortal Tribulation…

　　Really, Li Changshou had never seen such a biased Dao Ancestor!

　　When his grand-disciple transcended the tribulation, not only did he not save a single bolt of lightning, but he was also slashed by the Heavenly Punishment. There was also a lot of lightning, wind, and water. The Heavenly Punishment was all aiming to severely injure him!

　　From then on, as long as his friends and relatives transcended the tribulation, the power of the tribulation lightning would turn into heavenly punishment and come over to secretly whip him a few times…

　　What was the scene when Long Ji transcended the tribulation?

　　That day, Long Ji suddenly said, “Teacher, I seem to be going through the Tribulation Transcendence. There is a voice in the underworld that can make me prepare.”

　　Li Changshou immediately concluded that it was a reminder from the Heavenly Dao to Long Ji. It could be considered that the Heavenly Dao had given the Jade Emperor some face.

　　Long Ji then flew to the Jade Pool and arrived at the place where she had previously chosen to transcend the tribulation. The tribulation clouds covered the sky in a short period of time.

　　Long Ji bowed to the sky and said loudly,

　　“Long Ji of the Heavenly Courts, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to strike.”

　　Afterwards…

　　“Yes.”

　　The Tribulation Cloud in the sky acknowledged!

　　The Tribulation Cloud manifested the scenery of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. There were also auspicious clouds around it. The immortal music in the distance had already been played in advance!

　　Steady… stable?!

　　Long Ji waited for a while. Thunder sounded in the sky first. Then, a powerful pink lightning bolt slashed down. It passed by Long Ji’s forehead and landed on her shoulder.

　　Long Ji’s body swayed from the blow. The tribulation luck above instantly stopped and waited quietly for a while.

　　Yes, he waited for a while.

　　It was very spiritual!

　　In the end, Li Changshou almost could not help but complain.

　　He had never seen a Heavenly Tribulation that was more than four hours apart!

　　Is the Heavenly Tribulation afraid of destroying the Jade Emperor’s beloved daughter and making the Jade Emperor have a problem with the Heavenly Dao?

　　After Long Ji transcended the tribulation, she retracted her messy long hair. Hundreds of fairies from the Jade Pool immediately pounced on her. All of them held immortal peaches and spirit pills, afraid that if they were a step late… Long Ji’s injuries would recover.

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　Alright, she was from the Heavenly Courts.

　　The Dao Ancestor had clearly interfered with the great calamity and had even seriously gone easy on his “granddaughter”.

　　That was also because Long Ji did not have a proper god’s position. Otherwise, perhaps she would not avoid one Heavenly Tribulation. Instead, she would symbolically strike a few times and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would directly transform Long Ji’s Dao Body.

　　Li Changshou calmed himself down and did not think too much about that. It was a good thing that Long Ji had successfully become a Golden Immortal.

　　Ling’e could not replicate the Tribulation Transcendence. She had to be fully prepared. He did not have a strong relationship with the Jade Emperor.

　　He looked at the chess room and saw a petite figure playing with Long Ji and Ling’e.

　　Xiong Lingli.

　　After being tempered by the blood of the Ancestral Magi and completely learning the transformation technique, Xiong Lingli’s figure finally returned to normal.

　　At that moment, she had transformed into the size of a normal person. She was like a young girl who had been in her prime. She had a short ponytail, two huge copper hammers on her back, and an unchanged Elder Lord numinous treasure armor. When she walked out, she attracted a lot of attention.

　　Li Changshou had already begun to make arrangements. Later, he would let Xiong Lingli become a Heavenly General and guard the Heavenly Gate to help the Heavenly Courts survive the awkward period where there were no experts.

　　Xiong Lingli could only unleash 50% of her strength when she was an ordinary person. If she wanted to unleash her full strength, she still had to restore her original size…

　　His immortal senses continued to flow.

　　Outside the Great White Palace, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals patrolled and guarded. All of them had solemn expressions and looked proud.

　　In the original Water God Residence, Ling Zhuzi and Yu Tu were playing with the rope. The relationship between the two brothers became stronger and stronger. The brotherhood was extremely touching.

　　In the room next door, Youqin Xuanya, who had rarely returned to the residence to quietly cultivate, was in seclusion and comprehending the Dao. At that moment, she was becoming more and more ethereal, and there were a few more layers of purity.

　　The Goddess of War of the Heavenly Courts was famous in the Three Realms. She had already achieved an advertising effect that far exceeded expectations.

　　However, because there were mysterious experts in the five continents who kept finding trouble with the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou decided to be safe and let Youqin Xuanya’s Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals not go out for the time being.

　　Who was the person who did not dare to show his face and only dared to hide and seek trouble with the Heavenly Courts?

　　It was naturally Maitreya.

　　Maitreya must have been quite aggrieved over the past thirty years. It could even be said that he was depressed.

　　After Li Changshou returned from the Goddess’s Palace, he took the memorial that Bai Ze had drafted and which he had refined several times and went to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. Before the immortals and gods of the Heavenly Courts, he submitted the memorial and requested for orders.

　　At that time, the Jade Emperor’s expression was filled with anticipation. He hoped that Li Changshou could find something to do with a memorial.

　　However, after Li Changshou’s impassioned speech, the Jade Emperor’s mouth twitched.

　　Why did he suddenly criticize the sin of the ancient demon master, Kun Peng?

　　However, the Jade Emperor agreed with that matter. He ordered the arrest of the Demon Master Kun Peng in the Three Realms and posted 36 great crimes.

　　At the same time, he agreed to Li Changshou’s second memorial. He directly used Truth Listener and allowed the Golden-Winged Roc to control the Demon-Slaying Sword and go to the edge of the Three Thousand Worlds to clear the otherworldly demons.

　　The Jade Emperor’s gaze was clearly asking, “Is that it?”

　　Li Changshou smiled awkwardly and lowered his head to call the Jade Emperor wise.

　　That was indeed all the arrangements on the surface. However, the subsequent development was far from that simple.

　　Due to the Heavenly Courts’ sudden denunciation of the Kun Peng’s crimes, many of them were secrets that only ancient mighty figures knew. It caused the various parts of the Three Realms to begin a ‘great conviction’ of the Kun Peng.

　　The traces of the Kun Peng began to appear in some ancient and mysterious cases.

　　All the blame was put on Kun Peng.

　　As long as he talked about Kun Peng, he was not afraid that he would not be able to find a topic to talk about…

　　When the Immortal God discussion reached its peak, someone raised a question.

　　Why did the Heavenly Courts mention the Kun Peng during the Great Tribulation and even convict this Kun Peng who supposedly escaped to the Chaos Sea? Could it be that the Kun Peng has returned?

　　The direction of the Primordial World suddenly changed. The immortals of the Three Realms were guessing if the Kun Peng had secretly returned to the trichiliocosm.

　　At that moment, all kinds of rumors were spread.

　　Before the popularity of this matter was about to decline again, a few pieces of news that were mixed in truth and false spread throughout the world.

　　It was all real news.

　　“Why can so many experts of the demon race join the Western Sect? In the ancient times, before the Demon Court was destroyed, the Demon Master Kun Peng captured the demonic soul imprints of a large number of experts of the Demon Court and made a deal with the Western Sect.”

　　There were also fake news, for example:

　　“The Kun Peng knew that it had done too many bad things and was about to be hunted down by the Saint. The thing that had escaped into the Chaos Sea was actually a fake body. His essence soul had used the Heavenly Demon Heart Transfer Technique and shifted to other living beings. Based on the situation back then, it was very likely the Eldest Senior Brother of the Western Sect, Maitreya.”

　　In just a few months, the news spread in the Three Realms.

　　The Western Sect had appeared to explain many times, but the effect was not good. Their voices were buried in waves of other voices.

　　At the appropriate time and place, the Heavenly Courts sent a declaration to the Western Sect.

　　The content of the declaration was actually very gentle. It meant that the Heavenly Courts would “cooperate” with the Heavenly Courts to investigate this matter. The Heavenly Courts would return the Buddha’s innocence.

　　How would Maitreya dare to go?

　　From the beginning to the end, Maitreya did not even reveal his face. He only hid in the dark.

　　It was precisely this avoidance that made the rumors gradually become true.

　　That was not the end. In the various towns of the Middle Continent, some plays began to appear. They sang about the life of the Kun Peng Demon Master and would mention the Maitreya every time.

　　In just a few years, the fact that Maitreya was the second essence soul of the Kun Peng was already an open secret in the Primordial World.

　　The prestige of the Western Sect fell again and again. There was no trace of Maitreya. The two Saints of the Western Sect did not express their stance from the beginning to the end…

　　The battle of public opinion is a double-edged sword. I can’t use it too much.

　　Li Changshou retracted his thoughts and stretched his back. He took out a newly modified paper effigy from his sleeve and made the paper effigy transform into an old immortal Taibai Jinxing. He rode a cloud and floated out of the Little Qiong Peak.

　　The Pagoda Master carried it around in his sleeve.

　　After leaving the Heaven Gate and returning to the East Ocean, Li Changshou pretended to visit the East Ocean Dragon Palace and talk about the assessment of the various river gods, lake gods, and well gods. However, his main body used an escape technique and floated to the Three-Immortal Island.

　　He could not always let the woman take the initiative to be in a relationship.

　　On the way, he was thinking about a few matters.

　　The chaos in the Middle Continent began. The more the Three Realms fought, the more chaotic it became. He could no longer control it…

　　By the way, the Grand Supreme Elder has already sent Little Gold and Little Silver over to Yang Jian’s three pointed, double-edged spear. Should I make arrangements?
