Chapter 518 Duobao: I, Water God, Pay

　　Fat?

　　The veins on Daoist Duobao’s forehead bulged, and his fingers trembled slightly. He immediately stood up and was about to “flip the table”.

　　He had been in the Primordial World for so many years. He had seen the Ancestral Dragon fighting the Primordial Phoenix, the Ancestral Magus attacking the Demon Emperor, and the rise of the six Saints! Which corner of the Primordial World did not have a round figure that he could freely swim in?

　　Of course, that was not important!

　　Fat Daoist…

　　Am I fat?

　　If not for the fact that every time I come into close contact with the treasures, I would be able to enjoy the friction between each numinous treasure and my skin, would I have maintained that figure?

　　Do you know the joy of lying on a pile of treasures and letting the pearl bounce around on your stomach?

　　Since the Dao Sect had prospered, even his master could only say, “Duobao, why have you become rounder recently?” When did he ever use the word ‘fat’!?!

　　Daoist Duobao was furious. However, he recalled that he was digging up the inside story of Jie School being implicated. He endured it and did not flare up.

　　Calling him fat right in front of him was the same as pointing at Great Daoist Master Xuan Du and calling him lazy. It would be the same as pointing at Guang Chengzi and asking ‘Senior Brother, why do you have a senior brother above you?”; pointing at Huang Long and saying ‘Watch’; pointing at Perfected Taiyi and saying, ‘Why are you being so sarcastic?’ Uh, it seems that the last one is nothing… Daoist Duobao, who had endured for half a month, almost exploded! Fortunately, Li Changshou stopped him in time and sent a voice transmission with his immortal senses.

　　“Senior Brother, Senior Brother! Don’t be like that, Senior Brother!

　　This Fairy Shi is saying that you are round and smooth. Endure it. Endure it. You are only two steps away!

　　Ah, right. There’s another meaning to the word ‘fat’. It’s often used to describe fairies’ beauty. For example, ‘fairies on the moon are not half as beautiful as you’ could be understood as ‘you possess half of the beauty of the moon’!

　　It is elegant, definitely elegant!

　　A slight intolerance will ruin things. We are here to investigate today. We don’t have to do anything.”

　　As he listened to the cries from Li Changshou’s immortal senses in his heart, he recalled the three rules that he had previously set. Daoist Duobao’s Dao heart quickly recovered. “Changgeng is right. If I can’t tolerate it, I’ll kill fewer people later.” He was already filled with killing intent.

　　Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart. Indeed, the members of Jie School would begin fighting whenever there was a disagreement. The first thing that came to his mind was to fight.

　　However, what surprised Li Changshou was that Daoist Duobao quickly revealed a warm smile. With his disguised face, he looked up and smiled. “Senior, I just…” Unexpectedly, Shi Ji said, “Are you still going to deny it? Could it be that you think that my Dao is not worth mentioning just because you came here to obtain an identity and increase your background?”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　Although he knew that Shi Ji might be depressed and wanted to find a place to vent her frustration, this…

　　Forget it, I can’t save her. Let her wait for death.

　　I should have taken out the second backup plan early and changed my train of thought. I should have used thunderous methods to get rid of the gang here. Then, I will make a huge commotion and use the power of Jie School to clean up the sect.

　　Who is Eldest Senior Brother Duobao?

　　He was a disciple of Jie School and one of the few experts of the three sects. According to Li Changshou’s observations, Duobao should be stronger than Guang Chengzi. He should be the second in command of the Dao Sect disciples. If Duobao flared up at that moment and revealed his identity, Li Changshou would not be surprised at all if he killed the four immortals from Jie School, including the rock. Eldest Senior Brother also cared about his pride. However, what surprised Li Changshou was… “Ah, Senior, please forgive me.”

　　Daoist Duobao responded and stood up awkwardly. He bowed deeply to the rock and hurriedly said, “I just rushed here. I was in a hurry on the cloud and my mind was not at peace. Please forgive me, Senior.”

　　Li Changshou secretly raised his eyebrows and became even more wary of Daoist Duobao.

　　“Sit, listen carefully.” Shi Shi did not continue. After saying that, he began to explain his cultivation insights.

　　The gazes that were focused on Daoist Duobao were also retracted. They listened attentively and cherished the expensive lecture.

　　Li Changshou praised Daoist Duobao via voice transmission. “Senior Brother, you should bear with it. It’s admirable.” “Ah.” Daoist Duobao’s expression remained the same, but he sighed in his heart. “Just now, I actually wanted to attack. I suddenly recalled that Shi Ji had once heard Teacher address me as Eldest Senior Brother…”

　　Li Changshou sighed softly and did not say anything. He just waited quietly. When the rock was preaching, some faint petals would float out.

　　It could prove that the Goddess of Stone, who had died tragically under the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Barrier during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, had some skills. Li Changshou clearly remembered that the Goddess of Stone Rock…

　　It was terrible.

　　In the story of Little Nezha, Nezha shot an arrow at Chentang Pass and killed the child, Bi Yun, who was riding in front of the Queen of Stones. The Queen of Stones went to Li Jing to question him and Li Jing handed Nezha over happily. The rock and Nezha fought and easily retracted Little Nezha’s Cosmic Bangles and Heavenly Network. They chased Nezha to the Golden Light Cave of the Qianyuan Mountain.

　　Originally, Shi Ji had just bowed when he saw Perfected Taiyi and addressed him as ‘Fellow Daoist’. She wanted to discuss the sins of Nezha and was instead led by Perfected Taiyi. In the end, he died miserably under the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Shield. In short, Perfected Taiyi was the jinx that the Goddess of Stone was destined to meet. Based on Li Changshou’s understanding of Perfected Taiyi, if the story continued to develop according to its original trajectory, a battle between the Jie School and Chan School would be inevitable. Taiyi, who had the outstanding ability to strike first and was 100% capable of successfully angering his opponent, would definitely strike first.

　　However, the current situation before the Great Tribulation…

　　Li Changshou thought of his series of follow-up plans. It was really difficult to say if the Goddess of Stone Rock would appear in Nezha’s story. Moreover, it was unknown if Shi Ji could survive the current calamity.

　　In the blink of an eye, twelve hours passed.

　　When the sun set in the west, the projection of the sun in this world returned to the distant mountains. The clouds in the valley gradually dispersed. The rock slowly stood up from the straw hut. The folds of her black dress fluttered like water ripples. The thin fog on her face remained. Due to the preaching of the rock, there were ten to twenty people comprehending the Dao. Daoist Duobao also looked like that. There were some “shallow” Dao runes floating around him, as if he could still break through. A cloud appeared under the rock and it headed towards the depths of the valley. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared. At that moment, the jade piece on Li Changshou’s body brought about the voice transmission from afar…

　　Shi Ji said to someone else, “Alright, I’ve already done what I did today. If something like that happens again later, don’t believe me.” “Senior Sister, don’t be anxious. I have something to say. Senior Sister, can you listen before leaving?” “Speak.” There was a hint of helplessness in Shi Ji’s voice.

　　The immortal from Jie School said, “Senior Sister, I know that you have a noble personality and are unwilling to preach to others for the sake of spirit stones and precious materials. However, Senior Sister, think about it. When you preach the Dao, the ones who benefit are actually the Itinerant Cultivators who want to make a name for themselves. What we get is the respect they offer. What we get is the reputation of Jie School. The ten thousand immortals of Jie School don’t care about having a few in-name disciples. That’s only good.” “Hmph.” Shi Ji frowned slightly and said gently, “If the people you recruited today were really intelligent and perceptive Qi Refinement cultivators, I would not believe you if you did not accept the benefits they gave you. If the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters in the inner sect knew about this, what would they think? Isn’t this equivalent to exchanging the identity of the third-generation disciple of Jie School for Spirit Stones? It’s true that the teachings of Jie School are to obtain a chance of survival for living beings, but it’s not like that!”

　　Daoist Duobao smiled to himself and said to Li Changshou, “It seems that Shi Ji is not rotten.”

　　Li Changshou laughed and continued listening. The male immortal continued, “Senior Sister, what you said is actually a little inappropriate. In this world, does cultivation only depend on comprehension? Money and land are also the most important. Senior Sister, this is some of the things you said during the lecture…” “Take it back,” Shi Ji said firmly. “You’re insulting me!”

　　“Open it first…”

　　Crack!

　　Buzz…

　　Li Changshou’s Wind Speech Incantation finally captured some movement. It was the fluctuations of Dharma powers colliding in the depths of the valley. The Wind Speech Incantation heard another soft curse.

　　“Put away these Spirit Stones. Don’t dirty my eyes. Farewell.”

　　The male immortal anxiously sent a voice transmission. “Senior Sister! Senior Sister, don’t be anxious. It’s my fault for speaking inappropriately. Senior Sister, please don’t blame… Senior Sister!”

　　At that moment, a black shadow flashed in the depths of the valley. The rock rose on a cloud and rushed to the horizon with a cold expression.

　　“Don’t look for me in the future.”

　　Daoist Duobao sighed emotionally when he saw that. “It seems like it’s just as you said, Brother. We can’t kill everyone who participates in this matter. We have to differentiate them.”

　　Li Changshou was also filled with emotions. The power of the Heavenly Dao’s restraint was indeed powerful. Shi Ji was frantically probing at the edge of death, but in the end, it could resolve the danger…

　　He would keep Shi Ji and kill the person who should be killed at the appropriate time and place to obtain the outcome that the Heavenly Dao wanted. Did the Heavenly Dao just affect the rock?

　　Li Changshou did not dare to confirm. He could only activate his clear Dao heart and check if he was being driven by the tribulation luck.

　　“Changgeng, what should we do next?” Daoist Duobao asked.

　　Li Changshou deliberated for a while and answered, “The better plan is that we will continue to endure. The few of them have already marked this place. The Shadow-Retaining Ball has also recorded these situations, but it’s clearly not convincing enough. The intermediate plan is to find a key and shorten the interval between checking the bottom…”

　　Daoist Duobao sent a voice transmission and smiled. “Then, I’ll choose this middle plan. I’ll have to trouble Junior Sister Shi Ji.”

　　“Senior Brother, what do you want to do?”

　　“Let’s use the previous excuse.” Daoist Duobao opened his eyes and stood up from the meditation cushion. He lowered his head and walked out of the valley. “Changgeng, think of an idea first. Make Shi Ji stay. Don’t let her get too far away.”

　　Li Changshou pondered for a while and sent a voice transmission to Duobao.

　　Daoist Duobao’s eyes lit up after hearing a few words. He needed jade talismans when he came, but there were no obstacles when he left.

　　After leaving the valley, Daoist Duobao rode a cloud to the outer space and headed straight for Bu Zhongyao’s Cloud Boat.

　　When Daoist Duobao was less than 500 kilometers away from the cloud boat, Bu Zhongyao and Cai Yao were already waiting at the bow of the boat.

　　A certain Young Sect Master revealed a faint smile. He was already thinking about how he could invite a brilliant alchemist back and receive praise from his Sect Master’s father.

　　Suddenly, a stream of light flew over from the side! Before the guards on the cloud boat could react, Cai Yao and Bu Zhongyao had just turned around when they saw a figure in black appear out of thin air 100 feet away.

　　Bu Zhongyao looked up and felt that the female immortal who had suddenly appeared had a graceful figure and a strong pressure. Moreover, his immortal senses had seen her fly out of the valley…

　　The expert of Jie School, the Lady of Stone! Cai Yao reacted quickly. She immediately bowed and shouted, “Greetings, Teacher!” Shi Ji was slightly stunned. However, he did not remember where he had seen this female immortal who was only at the Perfected Immortal realm.

　　She nodded slightly and said, “Please help me find a quiet room on the ship.

　　When the fat Daoist returns, I’ll let him see me alone.

　　I felt that he looked familiar when I saw him previously. I suddenly recalled that I was an old friend of his master.”

　　Cai Yao hurriedly looked at Bu Zhongyao, who was beside her. The latter finally regained her senses and bowed to the rock. She hurriedly turned to the side and greeted him continuously. After a while, the Lady of Stone chose a quiet little cubicle and raised her hand to set up layers of barriers. She sat quietly in front of the wooden window and locked her immortal senses on the fat Daoist who was slowly floating over.

　　Unconsciously, she frowned slightly and recalled the words she had heard a moment ago…

　　The moment she left the world, a wisp of immortal senses broke through the immortal power around her, broke through her protective Dharma treasure, turned into a voice transmission, and entered her heart.

　　It was the fat Daoist’s voice.

　　“Fairy Shi Ji, I am a Heavenly General of the Heavenly Courts. Today, under the orders of the Water God of the Court and the disciple of the Saint of Ren School, I secretly investigated if an Immortal Alliance Immortal Dao faction had betrayed the Immortal Alliance and turned to the Western Sect. Today, we have already come to a conclusion and we need a way to escape. He happened to pass by and wanted to ask the fairy to help him. When I successfully escape, I will confirm the Water God and give the fairy a huge reward! This matter is very important. You cannot disclose it. Fairy, please go to the Cloud Boat where the Young Sect Master of this faction is. With your identity, you need a private room. I will immediately rush to meet you. Let’s meet and talk about it. I know if it’s true or not.”

　　Then, Shi Ji believed him. This made Daoist Duobao feel that it was not challenging at all. He planned to change it to ‘I, the Heavenly Courts’ Water God, will wait in the private room ‘next time.

　　It might really have an unexpected effect. As soon as Daoist Duobao boarded the cloud boat, Bu Zhongyao and Cai Yao welcomed him. They said that the Goddess of Stone was waiting for him. At that moment, the Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School, who had disguised himself, revealed a hint of surprise. At the same time, he revealed a hint of joy and nervousness. It was considered flawless. “Why are you waiting for me here?” “It seems to be related to Fellow Daoist’s master,” Bu Zhongyao urged. “Fellow Daoist, quickly go in. Don’t let the Queen of Stone City wait for long. He is a true expert of Jie School. I cannot offend him.”

　　“Don’t worry, Young Sect Master.” Daoist Duobao cupped his hands in a serious manner. Li Changshou’s laughter sounded in his heart. He quickly rushed to the place where the Goddess of Stone Rock was.

　　Everything went smoothly. With Li Changshou’s help in the dark, Daoist Duobao played the role of an undercover agent of the Heavenly Courts flawlessly. After a while in the cabin, the Goddess of Stone left the cloud boat with the fat Daoist and used the excuse of visiting the fat Daoist’s master.

　　Before he left, Daoist Duobao pulled Bu Zhongyao’s arm and repeatedly reminded him that he would come and look for him later. He told him not to forget what they had discussed previously. That made Bu Zhongyao happy. He looked elegant on the surface, but he gritted his teeth secretly. He forcefully took a generous gift from his already meager accumulation and gave it to Daoist Duobao’s master.

　　Although Daoist Duobao despised it, he still accepted it gratefully.

　　Eldest Senior Brother’s acting skills!

　　After the rock left with Duobao, he escaped into the world.

　　Bu Zhongyao and Cai Yao, who were standing at the bow of the ship, looked at each other. The former smiled calmly, while the latter frowned slightly.

　　Cai Yao said, “Husband, if he doesn’t come back, wouldn’t all our Spirit Stones be wasted?”

　　“Short-sighted!”

　　Bu Zhongyao smiled calmly and looked in the direction where the rock left. He said calmly, “There are only a few Spirit Stones today. We might have more help in the future! It is even possible that this person had brought his master along. Hahahaha!” Cai Yao frowned slightly when she heard that. She could not help but think of her cousin’s senior brother and felt more at ease. With such a relationship and the appearance of an expert like the Goddess of Jie School, the other party could not be a liar.

　　The rock carried Daoist Duobao and flew rapidly. They gradually flew tens of thousands of kilometers away from the limit that ordinary Golden Immortal immortal senses could detect. In the void, the rock turned around and asked softly, “Fellow Daoist, how about I send you here?”

　　Duobao was speechless. Shi Ji asked again, “If this place doesn’t work, you can tell me about the Earth Domain. I have nothing to do. I can send you there.” “Nothing?”

　　Daoist Duobao revealed a dignified expression and said coldly, “Is that why you went to help others preach?”

　　Shi Ji frowned slightly. At that moment, he finally realized that there was something wrong with the “fat” Daoist in front of him. He immediately became vigilant and took out a sword. He retreated hundreds of feet.

　　“There’s no need to struggle.” Daoist Duobao opened his left hand and his fingers flickered with colorful light. The void within a 50-kilometer radius was completely sealed. An indescribable dignity slowly spread out from Daoist Duobao.

　　Shi Ji’s expression changed drastically. He was about to attack when he saw the fat Daoist’s face suddenly change. It turned into a face that he had seen more than ten times previously and was extremely familiar with! “Eldest… Eldest Senior Brother…”

　　“Kneel!”

　　Daoist Duobao shouted. Shi Ji bent his slender legs and knelt in the void!

　　The sword in her hand was a little unstable. Her face and the concealment spell around her disappeared instantly, revealing a pitiful face. Li Changshou was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. He was only comparing it secretly. Daoist Duobao’s version of kneeling was indeed much less powerful than Fairy Yun Xiao’s version of kneeling Not very professional.
