Chapter 499 Go

　　“Did you confirm that the person who appeared that day was the Void Bodhi?”

　　In the Lingxiao Hall, the immortals and gods were silent.

　　The Saint had personally gone to the Heavenly Courts. The only people who could talk to him were the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, or the incarnation of the Saint who rarely appeared.

　　Even Li Changshou, who was a disciple of the Grand Pure One, the authoritative god of the Heavenly Courts, the head instructor of Chang’e, the rumored Dao companion of Heng’e, and Fairy Yun Xiao’s Dao companion, could only stand up and say a word or two after the Jade Emperor mentioned them.

　　The Saint-to-be asked in return, causing everyone’s eyes to focus on Li Changshou again.

　　He saw!

　　Li Changshou frowned slightly and his breathing slowed down. He seemed to be thinking hard and was in a dilemma…

　　He was actually flirting and scolding his junior sister… and interacting with her without going overboard.

　　The immortals felt that although the question posed by Saint Zhun Ti was a little superficial and not of a high standard, it was indeed difficult to answer.

　　The Saint of the Western Sect only needed to persist. The person who appeared that day was not the Void Bodhi. It was reasonable and reasonable for the Heavenly Courts to retract their pursuit of the Void Bodhi.

　　However, Li Changshou… was calm and composed.

　　“Sect Master Zhun Ti, can you allow me to explain this matter simply?”

　　“Alright,” Zhun Ti said expressionlessly. Li Changshou bowed with a Dao salute and slowly tidied his horsetail whisk, as if he was using such a small action to prolong the time he could use to think…

　　He frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and quickly relaxed. His body was bent.

　　However, in reality, that was just a deliberate reaction to ensure that he would not be interrupted by the Saint later.

　　Soon, Li Changshou’s eyes lit up. Like an impatient old immortal, he explained anxiously, “That day, when Little God convicted the Void Bodhi, the Heavenly Dao responded and sent down a calamity! At that time, the calamity landed on the incarnation. Then, it dissipated with the incarnation and rushed to release the main body of the incarnation! How can that be wrong?”

　　Saint Zhun Ti said calmly, “You recited the name of the Void Bodhi and exercised the authority of the Heavenly Courts. The power of the Heavenly Dao was mobilized by you, so it was naturally decided by you. The Water God did not investigate further and placed this matter on the disciples of my sect. Is it a little rash? Is it biased?”

　　Li Changshou seemed to be speechless. He frowned and tried his best to squeeze out some cold sweat.

　　At that moment, the immortals in the hall sighed in their hearts…

　　Even the Water God could not resist the Saint.

　　Then, the immortals felt that they had a common enemy. A Heavenly General who had followed Li Changshou to the Immortal Alliance Meeting that day could not help but stand up. However, General Dongmu was the first to take half a step forward. He stood up, lowered his head, and performed the deepest Dao salute. He shouted the most unconfident words!

　　“Your Majesty! I have previously checked the dossier condensed in the Hall of Enlightenment. It is indeed the Western Sect’s Saint…”

　　A gaze landed on General Dongmu. He trembled and lowered his head.

　　Saint Zhun Ti raised his eyelids slightly and looked at General Dongmu.

　　General Dongmu’s Adam’s apple trembled. He was only an ordinary Golden Immortal. How could he resist the dignity of a Saint?

　　However, at that moment, in the Heavenly Courts, in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall!

　　As the most experienced and second most trusted subordinate of the Jade Emperor, how could he cower and not move forward? How could he just stop!?!

　　“The scroll shows that he is indeed the disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, the Void Bodhi!”

　　The two gazes retracted. General Dongmu’s legs were weak, and his body was covered in sweat. He almost fell to the ground. However, a huge hand reached out from the side and supported General Dongmu’s arm, slowly putting him back into his seat.

　　Li Changshou chuckled and took two steps forward to block General Dongmu.

　　His hunched figure stood up straight. His eyes were filled with divine light, and his silver-white long hair fluttered!

　　At that moment, his appearance was just that of a thin old man with a kind expression. However, the immortals in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall were mesmerized by him. There were also a few young generals who represented Ao Yi and Bian Zhuang. Their hearts were surging and they could not control themselves!

　　Unfortunately, the Lingxiao Hall was filled with male immortals…

　　“Actually, I can be completely sure that the person who caused trouble at the Immortal Union Conference that day was the disciple of the Saint of the Western Sect, Void Bodhi!”

　　Li Changshou turned around and cupped his hands towards the sky.

　　“Due to some reasons, it’s not easy to say it in front of Sect Master Zhun Ti, but everyone should know the reason! The Immortal Alliance Meeting has reached a crucial stage. I had expected that there would be sects that could not be directly nominated and would soon cause trouble for the Immortal Alliance. Sect Master Zhun Ti was not anxious.

　　I do not have any intention to speculate about the Western Sect. At that time, the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School and the current Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance, Senior Randeng, were about to announce the official establishment of the Immortal Alliance. At that moment, a spirit stood up and mocked. For some reason, Senior Randeng gave him a chance to speak. I was still thinking…

　　Eh? There’s something wrong with Deputy Sect Master Randeng. He’s not deliberately making things difficult for a sect that can’t be nominated. In the blink of an eye! Wisps of Dao runes appeared on the small Divine Dao Heart Platform. The Dao runes were clear and curled up slowly. They were obscure and difficult to understand, but they were also clear and pure. It was as if all the truths of the Great Dao in the world could be analyzed by such Dao runes. Guess what?”

　　A righteous god immediately asked, “What?” Li Changshou immediately continued, “This is actually Little God’s teacher. The strongest Saint in the world today is giving me a reminder! The little god’s heart was in turmoil. He felt that his mind was blurry. Before he could comprehend those Dao runes, five words had already formed in his heart! This child is the Void Bodhi!”

　　When General Dongmu heard that, he could not help but pinch his fingers and deduce. He asked curiously, “Isn’t that seven words?”

　　“That’s not important,” Li Changshou said calmly. “The Saint just said that the Heavenly Dao admitted that the crime was fake. I’m also a disciple of the Saint. Can’t you say that seven is five? What kind of logic is that?”

　　The Jade Emperor almost laughed out loud. A few Heavenly Generals below were already pinching the thigh of the Heavenly Generals at the neighboring table. Saint Zhun Ti only snorted coldly and closed his eyes. Li Changshou continued, “Therefore, when I saw that incarnation, I knew that it was a Void Bodhi. This is what my teacher, the Grand Pure One of the Dao Sect, said. If the Sect Master thinks that I’m lying, he can go to the Grand Pure One to question me. Ah, I really did not expect that. At that time, Void Bodhi was extremely arrogant. He thought that he had captured the vital parts of the Immortal Alliance. When I asked him who he was, he swaggered out and revealed his true identity. At that time, tens of thousands of immortals heard it. His name is Xu Bodhi, the favorite disciple of the Western Sect’s Saint, the senior brother of the Reincarnation Pagoda Master of the Netherworld.”

　　“Enough.”

　　Zhun Ti spoke again. “The Void Bodhi acted on his own and deceived the Saint. In a while, the Western Sect will give the Heavenly Courts an explanation.”

　　Li Changshou stopped and did not continue arguing. He bowed to the Jade Emperor.

　　“Your Majesty, that’s the situation. I’ll take my seat first.”

　　The Jade Emperor waved his hand and smiled.

　　“Sect Master Zhun Ti, are you here for anything else? Although I also want to sit and discuss the Dao with Sect Master Zhun Ti, Sect Master Zhun Ti has seen it now. The Heavenly Courts have just been established and are busy…”

　　He was already chasing them away. However, Saint Zhun Ti said, “I came to the Heavenly Courts today for something else.”

　　In a corner of the Jade Pool’s palace, Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor looked at each other and were full of vigilance.

　　Logically speaking, Li Changshou had already carried the Grand Pure One out and Saint Zhun Ti had already given in. He could not continue to cause trouble.

　　Li Changshou only needed to repeatedly raise the Grand Pure One’s flag. Saint Zhun Ti was using his own skin to sharpen it.

　　As long as he was skilled, the metal rod could be ground into a needle.

　　However, he was about to say that he had something else to do…

　　If there was a problem, he could not be careless.

　　In the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor smiled and said, “I wonder what other matters Sect Master Zhun Ti has?”

　　Cundun did not open his eyes and said slowly, “Your Majesty, do you know that in ancient times, there was a ferocious mighty figure who was in charge of the Blood Sea and called Patriarch Nether River?”.

　　“Of course I know.” The Jade Emperor thought for a while and said seriously, “Patriarch Nether River created the Blood Sea Asura Clan and called himself the Sect Master. In the ancient times, he stopped the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Therefore, he suffered the Heavenly Punishment.”

　　“That’s right. It’s this Patriarch Nether River.” Zhun Ti opened his eyes a little. “Before Patriarch Nether River suffered the Heavenly Punishment, I had a premonition that he would be defeated. This spirit has obtained the Dao from the ancient times. It is extremely scheming. It wields two swords that can kill living beings without karma. One of them is called Yuan Tu, and the other is called Ah Bi. It also has a treasure called the twelfth-grade negative karma red lotus. When Patriarch Nether River suffered the Heavenly Punishment, he did not use the red lotus to resist the Heavenly Punishment. Instead, he cut the red lotus in half with his sword and sent the negative karma of the twelfth-grade negative karma red lotus into the sea of blood. Then, he threw out three red lotus seeds to revive himself in the future. I obtained one of these three lotus seeds. I don’t know where the other two are…”

　　The Jade Emperor interrupted, “Could it be that Sect Master Zhun Ti was also in the sea of blood?”

　　“That lotus seed is fated with me.”

　　“I see.” The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “I naturally don’t think that Sect Master Zhun Ti, who is a Saint, will go to the Blood Sea to pick up the scraps.

　　Sect Master Zhun Ti, please continue.”

　　Zhun Ti did not mind at all. He continued, “A few days ago, I suddenly felt something and took out the lotus seed to take a look.”

　　As he spoke, his left hand reached out from under his wide robe and slowly opened.

　　A dark red lotus seed that was as shriveled as a stone lay in his palm. There was a wisp of Connate Cardinal treasure’s Dao runes left in it, but it was lifeless.

　　In Li Changshou’s heart, the spiritual perception of the Taiji Painting appeared and condensed into a sentence. “It’s indeed the lotus seed of that red lotus. However, the spiritual energy has already dissipated.”

　　Zhun Ti said, “The spiritual energy emitted by my lotus seed is a sign that one of the three lotus seeds is about to mature. The lotus seed could absorb the negative karma that was scattered in the sea of blood and condense into a twelfth-grade red lotus again. As soon as the red lotus appeared, the flames of karma swept through the Three Realms. The living beings would definitely be plunged into misery and suffering. Patriarch Nether River could also use this opportunity to revive and become a huge threat to the Netherworld. I hope that the Jade Emperor will send troops to the Blood Sea as soon as possible and destroy the red lotus before it is born.”

　　The Jade Emperor frowned slightly and stared at the lotus seed.

　　Li Changshou muttered softly, “So I heard from the Netherworld that a large number of experts from the Western Sect entered the sea of blood to search for something. They were not looking for the red lotus to take it for themselves, but to protect the justice of the Three Realms.”

　　“That’s right,” Zhun Ti answered calmly. He replied without changing his expression, “Although the Western Sect is determined to prosper for the Western Sect, we also have our hearts set on the people of the world. On this point, the Western Sect and the Heavenly Courts can coexist.”

　　It was a hint for the Jade Emperor.

　　If the Western Sect, which was originally in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, had given such a hint, the weak Heavenly Courts would definitely have taken it and used the Western Sect to relieve the immense pressure the Dao Sect was putting on them.

　　However, the Western Sect was already in trouble…

　　The Jade Emperor said directly, “If you spare a thought for all living beings in the world, why don’t you restore the Divine Kingdom of Incense to its original state?”

　　“This matter was done by one of my disciples. I’m also investigating who did this.”

　　“Hmph!”

　　The Jade Emperor snorted unhappily and pondered for a while.

　　“I will be cautious about the matter regarding the red lotus. If that’s true, the Heavenly Courts will do their best to prevent such evil from happening. Sect Master Zhun Ti, please help us and the people greatly later.”

　　“Of course.”

　　Saint Zhun Ti smiled warmly and his figure gradually turned faint. “Since this matter has been sent to the Heavenly Courts, I can return to the spiritual mountain to cultivate in peace. Finally, he reminded the Water God. One of the three lotus seeds fell into the hands of the Saint of Jie School. Now that the great calamity has arrived, Jie School is known as a place where tens of thousands of immortals came to visit. However, in reality, they were hiding evil and taking in evil. They do not have any treasures to suppress the destiny of the sect, so they are in danger. However, the red lotus can absorb endless negative karma. It is like a twelfth-grade golden lotus. It can naturally suppress the sect’s fate… Luck… luck…”

　　The Saint’s words echoed throughout the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

　　The corners of Li Changshou’s mouth could not help but twitch…

　　Did Zhun Ti not get beaten up enough by the Grandmaster of Heaven last time?

　　However, I have to admit that those words are good for sowing discord.

　　Red Lotus, Jie School, Patriarch Nether River, three lotus seeds…

　　When the Heavenly Dao had frantically hinted to him, he had stabilized himself and did not get involved in this matter. It was simply too wise!

　　Regardless of whether it was Aunt-Master Tongtian’s schemes, hiding and obtaining a red lotus to suppress the fate of the sect for his pride,

　　Or perhaps, it was a scheme used by the Western Sect. They had obtained more than one red lotus seed. At that moment, they were using it to sow discord between the Heavenly Courts and Jie School and frame Jie School…

　　It was not appropriate for Li Changshou to participate.

　　One thing must be clear. He wanted to protect the experts related to Jie School and not the entire Jie School.

　　That was beyond Li Changshou’s ability. He believed that he could not do anything that even a Saint would find difficult.

　　As long as he was involved in the Red Lotus incident this time, he would fall into a quagmire of dilemma. He had to maintain four principles, five requirements, six points, and seven operations…

　　Only a couplet could show his determination.

　　The first half was “If you and I don’t go, someone will go.”

　　The second half was “If you say you won’t go, don’t go. If you can, you won’t go.”

　　Cross…

　　“Go.”

　　Li Changshou staggered and almost fell onto the table in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall. He almost fell off the rocking chair on the Little Qiong Peak.

　　He looked at the word that had condensed in his heart… It was huge, deep, and contained endless Dao runes. His heart was filled with gratitude and turned into a warm smile.

　　Ah, for justice.

　　“Changgeng, do you think the matter regarding the red lotus is true?”

　　In the corner of the palace, Qin Tianzhu sent a voice transmission. “Saint Zhun Ti actually took the initiative to talk about this matter. Could it be that the Western Sect can’t find any traces of Red Lotus and wants to use us?”

　　Li Changshou, who was looking dejected, sighed softly. “Who knows? There are many schemes in the Primordial World. Since ancient times, all kinds of schemes have happened countless times. There’s nothing new under the illumination of the sun.” The Jade Emperor’s incarnation pondered carefully and said firmly, “Minister, that’s a good analogy. Then, I’ll leave the matter of the red lotus to you!”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless. “Your Majesty, this matter is like the cream of the crop. Why don’t we send another legitimate god in the Heavenly Courts? I will help secretly.”

　　The Jade Emperor’s incarnation smiled and said, “Are you afraid that it will be difficult to explain to Jie School?” “It’s not that it’s hard to explain.” Li Changshou pondered for a while and sent a voice transmission. “What I’m most worried about is that after this matter gets blown up, Jie School will not take the initiative to explain. Everyone in Jie School had a sense of pride and looked down on the Western Sect. If the Western Sect created rumors, Jie School would not be bothered to explain… Chan School might take the opportunity to attack. Under the great calamity, everyone has to protect themselves. Although the Dao Sect is a family, tens of thousands of years ago, under the efforts of those who had intentions, there was already a rift between the two sects. We have to be wary of that. Your Majesty, before destroying most of the accumulation and strength of the Western Sect, it is not appropriate for the two sects to start a war.”

　　The Jade Emperor’s incarnation said in a low voice, “That’s indeed the case… It’s rare that you are not just standing on Jie School’s side.”

　　Li Changshou smiled bitterly and said, “Your Majesty, let’s not talk about my identity in the Heavenly Courts. I’m a disciple of Ren School and then a disciple of the Dao Sect.”

　　“Then let’s do as you say. Let my incarnation take the lead!”

　　“Your Majesty, do you have any other incarnations?”

　　Qin Tianzhu was puzzled. “Of course. Has this incarnation been exposed?”

　　“He should have been exposed for a long time…”

　　“Ahem.” Qin Tianzhu coughed and said calmly, “Then let’s hand this matter to… General Wei Shenmo!”

　　Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief.

　　Fortunately, the Jade Emperor’s fourth incarnation was not called Wei Zhentian. Otherwise, Li Changshou would really suspect that there was something wrong with the Jade Emperor… How should I deal with this matter?

　　Be steady. He secretly invited the Great Daoist Master back and gathered the Heavenly Mount of Ren School. He wanted to maintain the strength to mediate and deter the three sects!
