Chapter 471

The First Battle of Seven Emotions!

　　Da da da!

　　The translucent little lizard raised its long neck and kicked its four slender legs. It instantly crawled tens of thousands of feet out of the thick sea of blood. It stood there and looked around vigilantly… It had been targeted by something. In a daze, a black shadow rushed out from under the sea of blood. It opened its bloody mouth and sucked the little lizard away, leaving behind a shallow vortex and a few weak chewing sounds…

　　As the sea of blood was too viscous, the vortex returned to calm in the blink of an eye. The ferocious beast that had successfully hunted him swam away quietly. It did not dare to reveal any of its aura and quickly sank into the depths of the sea of blood.

　　50 kilometers away, Li Changshou, who had witnessed that scene, looked down at the small lizard that he had transformed into…

　　It was not easy to be a low-level creature in the Blood Sea these days. Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Li Changshou activated the Wind Speech Incantation to its limit. He opened 60% of his mind to differentiate the information he heard.

　　There was no mistake. The Great Dao was trembling, and the place where the experts of the Asura Clan gathered was below…

　　The Blood Sea was extremely turbid where the Heaven and Earth filthy springs intersected.

　　In the beginning of the ancient times, the Blood Sea was almost endless. The Connate mighty figure of the sea of blood, Patriarch Nether River, was famous in the Primordial World. He created Asuras and founded the “Kill” Sect. He was known to not die in the sea of blood.

　　Unfortunately, he did not manage to keep up with the times.

　　When the Lady of Earth was about to transform into the Six Dao Discs, a certain Great Daoist Master who was active in the ancient times and was unwilling to reveal his name, relied on the few treasures of Ren School and joined forces with the Lady of Earth and the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder to kill the Patriarch of the Nether River.

　　The rumor that the Blood Sea would not wither and the Nether River would not die was destroyed. Then, the Lady of Earth transformed into the Heavenly Dao’s supreme treasure, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc. It divided the Netherworld, opened the Netherworld, and became the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

　　More than half of the sea of blood had evaporated, and only a small portion of it remained on the west side of the Netherworld…

　　The world was clear and turbid, Yin and Yang were mixed, and the sea of blood could not completely dissipate. The Asura Clan and the ferocious beasts that lived in the sea of blood were not exterminated just like that. They gradually recovered some vitality today.

　　Although the Asura Clan could no longer be as powerful as it was during the end and the beginning of the ancient times, they could barely be considered a large race in the world. They occupied a place in the Six Paths of Reincarnation and gained additional luck after joining the Western Sect. Time waits for no man. Long nights will bring trouble.

　　Li Changshou, who had transformed into a small lizard, entered the sea of blood there. He activated the Water Escape technique and hid his aura fluctuations with all his might as he searched the depths of the sea of blood.

　　The depths of the sea of blood could be considered a completely different world.

　　When Li Changshou arrived, he saw many “bubbles” in the sea of blood. There were many “islands” of various sizes floating in the “bubbles”. There were many Asura Tribes scattered on them.

　　There were also many Asuras wandering around.

　　The unique characteristic of the Asura Clan was that the women were all beautiful, and the men were free to do whatever they wanted. Ordinary beauties could be seen everywhere. The “brothers” who scared the children next door were also of all kinds. The entire Asura Clan was deducing this principle…

　　Good looks are all the same, and ugly souls might not be interesting.

　　If the World Edge Pavilion came here to recruit some people… His thoughts were too scattered.

　　Li Changshou naturally would not look at the Asura women. After all, Fairy Yun Xiao was in the Glazed Pagoda, watching his every move.

　　After collecting enough detailed and comprehensive information, he continued to dive deeper and silently approached the deepest part of the sea of blood.

　　After diving for an unknown number of kilometers, the viscous and turbid blood around him began to turn light.

　　As he continued to dive, the turbidity dissipated, and wisps of immortal essence aura appeared below!

　　In a daze, Li Changshou seemed to have entered a paradise hidden in the deepest part of the earth.

　　As the saying goes, all living beings carry Yin and Yang. The Yin and Yang will have to go together… All these principles were hidden in a simple Yin-Yang Twin Fish painting.

　　He slowed down and analyzed the aura of the

　　method and did not advance.

　　Previously, he had felt the Great Dao tremble. The source was within a radius of 5,000 kilometers.

　　In the Glazed Pagoda, the experts of the Dao Sect were also investigating the surrounding environment. At the same time, they were expressing their views and inadvertently manifesting their Dao Realm. Kong Xuan, who was alone on the first floor, stood in front of the window of the pagoda and looked at the scenery of the sea of blood. There was nothing strange thousands of kilometers below, but Li Changshou suddenly stopped… He hid in a colorful stream of light and maintained the Wind Speech Incantation. He also transferred the contents of the Wind Speech Incantation into the Glazed Pagoda. He would let the big shots help to translate. A strange voice sounded from the pagoda. That was the ancient Asura language. Daoist Duobao smiled and fumbled around in his sleeve. He took out a turtle shell-like treasure that emitted a light green immortal glow.

　　The chattering voices turned into human voices. “They just sent a message that the Water God has already intervened. Everyone, be careful. Don’t relax.” “The Water God is scheming and has endless changes. His heart is dirtier than the sea of blood, and he’s more scheming than the patriarch. We will definitely not be his match. Sigh, in the end, we are only being used by the Western Sect.” “The Western Sect is using us. We are also using them. At the very least, the Western Sect has a Saint. Without the protection of the ancestor, we can only be at the mercy of others in the Primordial World. This is our last chance. Even if we have to risk our lives, we have to preserve the last place of survival for the younger generation!” “Don’t say anything else. The Water God might be listening. Watch the surroundings and don’t let anything go. It’s better to kill the wrong person than to miss it.” “I’d rather kill the wrong person.” “Even members of the same race cannot trespass!” In the corner of the pagoda, Yun Xiao whispered a few words to the Goddess of Golden Spirit. The two Fairy mighty figures formed hand seals simultaneously and covered each other’s Dao rune fluctuations. At the same time, they pointed forward. The Cloud Mirror technique that they used together revealed the origin of the conversation.

　　It was at the bottom of the sea of blood, above the ruins of a large city that was filled with array formation walls. There were hundreds of figures standing outside the array formation, each shrouded in a light black killing intent. The Eight-Armed Asuras could be seen everywhere. There were also some Two-Armed Asuras with thick murderous auras. At a glance, they were not to be trifled with.

　　They seemed to be protecting something. Below those figures were layers of array formations. There seemed to be hidden arrangements under the array formations.

　　Daoist Duobao sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou about the appearance of the cloud mirror. Li Changshou listened carefully for a while and quietly approached the city below.

　　In the Glazed Pagoda, Perfected Huang Long muttered, “These Asura Clan experts are actually so tightly guarded. The array formations here are not simple either. How can we enter?” Perfected Taiyi smiled and said, “How can such an array formation withstand the mighty Water God? He has always been able to drill through array formations.” He clearly wanted to say it but did not dare to do so.

　　Zhao Gongming said, “This place is so obvious. Could it be a trap?” “That’s most likely the case. This matter concerns the teachings of the Western Sect and is their long-term plan. They will definitely not be found by us so easily…” Daoist Duobao stroked his chin and pondered carefully before coming to that conclusion. The experts pondered carefully and felt that the possibility was the highest. There might be a problem with the way they were openly showing off. However, when he continued to think about it, he felt that it might have been intentional. The truth was uncertain…

　　Perfected Yu Ding said in a low voice, “Changgeng will not fall into a trap so easily. Let’s just be at ease.” As soon as he finished speaking, the Glazed Pagoda trembled slightly. Li Changshou, who had brought the pagoda with him, used the Taiji Painting to escape into the void outside the painting again and headed towards the ruins of the city below. Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “It seems that our considerations are not as deep as Changgeng.” Everyone agreed. Perfected Taiyi whispered, “Why do I feel that we are overthinking? Changgeng is a person who pursues stability. He will definitely not let this place go…”

　　Perfected Huang Long asked, “Then, what if this place is a trap?”.

　　“Isn’t that why we’re here?”

　　Perfected Taiyi smiled calmly. The immortals of the Dao Sect smiled. Indeed, if they attacked together, there was nothing to fear. Next, Li Changshou’s actions continued to refresh their understanding of the word ‘stable’.

　　The power of the Taiji Painting was unpredictable. The Great Daoist Master had once used the Taiji Painting to travel through the universe and travel casually outside the painting Although Li Changshou’s realm was not high enough, he could barely jump out of the painting. He opened a door and entered. He carefully walked past a few old Asuras and entered the city. The surrounding world was blurry. The figures and buildings were twisted. Li Changshou could vaguely see the intertwining lines of the Great Dao. What the Taiji Painting brought him into seemed to be a mysterious interlayer between the world and the Dao laws…

　　Unfortunately, Li Changshou could not investigate it with that method. The other party had clearly considered that point or knew the power of the Taiji Painting. Li Changshou used the Taiji Painting to pass through more than ten protective array formations outside the “painting”. His heart trembled slightly. The Taiji Painting’s voice sounded. “I can’t

　　pass.”

　　The Great Dao imprints in front of him intersected, and a huge array sealed both the inside and outside of the universe. It looked like a killing array, but also like a trapping array. The array formation creator’s attainments in array formations were extraordinary. To be able to defend against the Taiji Painting… A formation set up by a Saint?

　　Li Changshou, who had transformed into a small lizard, lay in the void outside the painting and pondered quietly. Soon, he dispelled the thought of barging in and quietly retreated.

　　A voice transmission sounded in Li Changshou’s heart. It was Daoist Duobao. “There are Saint Dao runes here. It’s most likely a trap. Changgeng, be careful.” The little lizard nodded slowly and did not change its route. He continued to search outside the painting. After searching a few times and turning the ruins of the city upside down, he finally confirmed a safe corner of the city and quietly returned to the world…

　　There were many killing arrays set up there. The damaged hall in the middle of the city was where the killing arrays overlapped.

　　Moreover, Li Changshou had searched all parts of the city outside the painting. He had carefully investigated the array formation set up in that place and discovered a crucial detail… The direction in which the spiritual energy of all the killing arrays surged was the direction in which the array’s power was released. It was towards the inside and not towards the outside.

　　The distribution of spiritual energy in all the trapping arrays was focused on the inside and not the outside. In other words, the person who set up this place wanted to use the array formation to destroy the living beings who had barged into the damaged hall… “It’s definitely a trap.”

　　In the pagoda, Perfected Huang Long could not help but sigh. “The Saint set up the array formation. The Great Dao’s vibration attracted Changgeng’s attention. The set-up here is probably specially targeted at Changgeng… It’s hard to say how vicious his intentions are.” Li Changshou’s immortal senses entered the Glazed Pagoda. “Perhaps it’s not that simple.” “Be careful. You have to protect yourself,” Zhao Gongming reminded. Li Changshou agreed and dispelled the transformation of the “little lizard” before transforming into an old Daoist priest carrying a gourd. He maintained his ethereal state and sat cross-legged in a corner of a dilapidated house in the city. He took off the “Seven Emotions Grass Ring” on his wrist and placed it into a treasure pouch. However, he did not seal the pouch.

　　A sigh could be heard. Wisps of light blue ripples dissipated around Li Changshou, and sorrow rippled into the distance. “I’m so miserable. It’s not easy for me to come out. I was even thrown into this cold bag. I can’t even see the outside. I still have to be used as a Dharma treasure…” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Let’s keep quiet for now. This level of sadness is just right. The group of Asura experts above the city did not sense the seven emotions at all. After a while, the men and women of the Asura Clan were dejected and sighed. None of them were spared. A woman from the Asura Clan muttered softly, “Are we really an abandoned race?”

　　A rock stirred up a thousand ripples. A sobbing roar sounded from the side.

　　“I can’t accept this! What kind of destiny is this! What kind of destiny is this!?! The Asura race will never become slaves! We will never… Ah… What’s the point of shouting this? Who can we shout it to?”

　　“Why? Why? Is there a point?”

　　“Why are we struggling? The world wants us to die. Can’t we just die?”

　　Muttering and crying sounded everywhere. The Asuras, who were all immersed in the situation, did not notice that they had been plotted against. They were all sad. Suddenly, he heard a shout. An Eight-Armed Asura suddenly raised its eight palms. Its

　　smashed towards his skull.

　　“Patriarch, I’m going to accompany you!” With a bang, the eight palms and eight strikes landed on the headless corpse of the Asura.

　　Immediately, more than ten Asuras were affected. They fell into great sorrow and committed suicide on the spot.

　　Gradually, more and more Asuras began to have negative thoughts. They kept shouting and mumbling, as if they were trying their best to convince themselves.

　　More and more people committed suicide.

　　Most of the Asuras were already sobbing. They recalled their tragic lives and all kinds of hardships. They rarely cultivated their Dao hearts. At that moment, their resistance to the power of the seven emotions was almost zero. Li Changshou formed a seal with both hands and said to the treasure pouch in his hand, “Can you ask the incarnation of anger to attack together?” “I don’t care!” “Eh? Senior Brother Taiyi, why did you come out?”

　　“Where is that bastard!?!” Seven-colored light circulated on the grass ring. There was an additional shadow in the treasure pouch that was searching left and right. Layers of light red ripples spread in the world. Little sighed and said, “We were all born in the grass. Why are you still thinking about how to use us to deal with us? Doesn’t your conscience hurt? I’m too pitiful. Why should I be friends with you… I’m having it worse. My only friend is gone.” The incarnation of anger said, “You tricked me!”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Grief and anger, the two incarnations of the seven emotions formed from the power of all living beings and the cultivation realm of the Empress Earth, attacked at the same time! At that moment, outside the ruins of the city, the Asuras raised their heads and roared. Hundreds of ferocious beasts that were on the verge of death seemed to appear in the world as they let out indignant roars… “Asuras will not die! The sea of blood will not wither!”

　　“We want to avenge the Patriarch! We want to avenge the Patriarch!” “The Western Sect is using us!” “What’s the point of living like this!?!” Li Changshou watched everything quietly and used his clear Dao heart to resist the power of the seven emotions.

　　In just a moment, the situation had completely gone out of control. In the beginning, there were Asuras who fell into the murderous intent and gradually went crazy. They attacked their fellow clansmen, attacked the array formations, and slashed themselves… Li Changshou pondered for a while and observed the performance of the Asuras. In the end, he chose the two-armed Asuras, who were stronger but had the most unstable mental state, and began to transmit his immortal senses.

　　“Trump card: Sound of Dao”

　　“Child, do you desire… to obtain my power?”

　　Uh, why does it feel like a villainous demon king?

　　In the pagoda, Perfected Huang Long felt the situation outside in shock. He opened his mouth but was speechless. Is this the power of the seven emotions? Fortunately, the power of the seven emotions did not flow into the Glazed Pagoda. The immortals there did not have to bother resisting it.

　　Daoist Duobao smiled and said, “How can all kinds of troublesome matters be so simple in Changgeng’s hands?” As soon as Daoist Duobao finished speaking, one of the two-armed Asuras that had been “bewitched” by Li Changshou suddenly turned around and knocked away the array formation that was on the verge of collapse in front of him. It smashed towards the stone hall in the middle of the city that had the Dao runes of a Saint!

　　A stone stirred up a thousand ripples. At least 30 to 40 Eight-Armed Asuras and Six-Armed Asuras followed closely behind. Like comets, they crashed into the ruins of the hall! The killing array was activated. Golden rays of light shone, and thousands of feet of sword aura surged. The city was filled with blood and gore. Li Changshou’s figure had already disappeared in that corner…
