Chapter 401 Eight Nine Mystical Techniques

　　What?

　　The Lady of Earth… Even the Seven Emotions incarnations that had troubled me for so long were saved? Others might not know how important the grass ring was to the Lady of Earth, but Li Changshou had previously talked to her and held the grass ring in his hand for three days. He knew its origins. The Lady of Earth’s body had already transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc. The grass ring was actually where Houtu had entrusted her essence soul to. It was equivalent to a second body, giving her the possibility of leaving the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc.

　　Although the situation just now looked simple, the Lady of Earth had borrowed the power of all living beings to completely fuse her essence soul with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc. She had given the grass ring to Little Grief and the others. The Lady of Earth is the most gentle ancestor of the Magi.

　　Li Changshou could not help but laugh…

　　Perhaps, this is the Lady of Earth.

　　“If that’s the case, wouldn’t I be adding fuel to the fire?” Li Changshou muttered softly, his eyes filled with helplessness. Fairy Yun Xiao covered her mouth and chuckled. She released Li Changshou’s arm and retreated to the side without a trace. Her eyes were filled with joy.

　　When Li Changshou and Little Grief bade farewell previously, Fairy Yun Xiao’s mental state had actually fluctuated slightly. That was why she had taken the initiative to comfort him.

　　Li Changshou naturally would not expose that. If he was consoled, so be it. Although his cultivation level was far inferior to Fairy Yun Xiao’s, a man should have some manly qualities.

　　By the way, a strong fairy is quite cute. Ahem, speaking of the farewell just now… When Little Grief was summoned back, Li Changshou felt that she was about to disappear no matter how he thought about it. Therefore, he said those words to comfort her. “Perhaps, even if it’s just a short friendship, I can still warm up Little Griefs heart.”

　　However, the Lady of Earth chose to do so… Although the Seven Emotions incarnations had been weakened by more than half, they were protected by the Lady of Earth. It was as if she had raised seven sisters of the same origin. The warmth that Li Changshou had given out had formed karma!

　　It was very tiring there.

　　However, this was ultimately a good thing. After all, Little Grief and the others could survive. Although they had left behind hidden dangers for the Lady of Earth, they had also left behind some opportunities in other aspects.

　　For example, if someone wanted to cause trouble in the Netherworld, the Lady of Earth would fight alone. At the crucial moment, she could summon the Seven Emotions incarnations.

　　Once Little Grief was out, the demons in the sky silently drew their swords and committed suicide…

　　The scene was rather intense, making Li Changshou feel a little expectant.

　　Moreover, the Lady of Earth’s handling of the Seven Emotions incarnations was less of a burden to the participants. Li Changshou bowed to the sky and a few streams of light flew towards Li Changshou and Yun Xiao.

　　The first to arrive was Perfected Taiyi.

　　He rushed over and grabbed Li Changshou. Glaring at him, he whispered, “What should we do?” “Senior Brother? What’s wrong?” Li Changshou blinked, his eyes filled with curiosity and innocence.

　　“What else!?!”

　　The bruises on Perfected Taiyi’s handsome face had yet to disappear. He whispered, “It’s not like you said. Let go and provoke the incarnation of anger. It has to continue. I didn’t stop even when I was beaten! Now that the incarnation has stayed behind, if he comes out to cause trouble later and uses the cultivation mystical abilities of the Lady of Earth to attack my Qianyuan Mountain… I’m going to rest!” Li Changshou took a deep breath and revealed a look of fear and uneasiness. He hurriedly said, “Senior Brother Taiyi, you really reminded me. I was wrong to think about this matter.”

　　“How?” Perfected Taiyi was anxious. “How can we salvage this?”

　　“Senior Brother Taiyi, don’t be anxious.” Li Changshou said seriously, “If something really happens, Senior Brother, feel free to come to the Tushita Palace of the Heavenly Courts to look for me or give me a communication jade token. I will immediately rush over to explain to you. The incarnation of the Lady of Earth is still the Lady of Earth. How can it be unreasonable?” Perfected Taiyi pondered carefully and sighed. “It seems that the Netherworld will be impressive in the future.”

　　“Don’t worry, Junior Brother Taiyi. Hahahaha!” With a few chuckles, Guang Chengzi and Perfected Yu Ding rode a cloud over. The eldest senior brother of Chan School smiled and said, “The Lady of Earth is fine. The seven emotions are balanced. Later, Junior Brother Changgeng, you shall help the Netherworld resolve the remaining seven emotions of the reincarnated spirit. The Lady of Earth will not lose control again.”

　　Li Changshou smiled and said, “Senior Brother Guang Chengzi is right. However, helping the Netherworld resolve this matter is not something that I can do alone. I still need the efforts of everyone in the Dao Sect.”

　　Just as Guang Chengzi was about to reply, he heard another voice.

　　“Changgeng.”

　　The Great Daoist Master walked over and frowned. “The chaos of your emotions is a little…”

　　“Senior Brother is really impressive!”

　　Li Changshou raised his thumb and praised, “Originally, we only wanted to subdue the incarnation of evil. I didn’t expect Senior Brother to have such a brilliant plan to weaken her hatred. That was something we did not expect.” The Great Daoist Master smiled and squinted. He stood behind Li Changshou calmly and raised his hand to poke Li Changshou’s back. The two of them laughed.

　　The traditional skills of Ren School. When Daoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, and the Goddess of Golden Spirit arrived, the nine immortals of the Dao Sect had already gathered. High in the sky, the Lady of Earth slowly floated over. She stopped a thousand feet away and bowed to the nine immortals who then returned the gesture.

　　Her lips parted slightly, and golden light surrounded her. Her long hair fluttered behind her, and the plain white dress on her body was pure and holy. “Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoists.” The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Senior, you’re welcome.” “I live in this realm and can no longer go out. I don’t have any decent gifts for you.” The Lady of Earth’s right hand swayed gently, and her fingertips emitted a faint glow. A sutra that was shimmering with golden light condensed into a scroll and was pushed over by the Lady of Earth. “This cultivation technique was created by me by combining the secret cultivation technique of the Magi and the Dao of the Heaven and Earth Cycle. It was originally called the Nin Returns to One Mysterious Technique. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao did not allow the ninth layer of the Mysterious Technique to be condensed and messed up my comprehension.” Nine by nine, one less layer… Eight-Nine Arcane Art!?! Li Changshou’s eyes lit up, but he did not reveal anything

　　That mysterious technique was given to the Dao Sect. Since he had come to work this time, he could naturally create an instance dungeon later!

　　Great Daoist Master Xuan Du held the scroll and smiled.

　　“Thank you for the mysterious technique, Senior. Senior Houtu, you don’t have to be so polite. You have been guarding this place and protecting the Six Paths of Reincarnation for countless years. Senior, you are unwell. We came to help you and did not do much. We don’t dare to claim credit for ourselves. Senior, you have just experienced a calamity and your vitality has yet to recover. We do not dare to disturb you. Please rest in peace. If you have any orders, please tell my Junior Brother… to inform him. My Junior Brother Changgeng is working for the Heavenly Courts. He is also trusted by Teacher and the Jade Emperor.”

　　After the Great Daoist Master finished speaking, the nine immortals of the Dao Sect bowed again.

　　The Lady of Earth did not say anything. She only nodded with a smile and opened a door that looked like a water curtain for the nine immortals. On the other side of the water curtain was the outside of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

　　The nine immortals did not stay for long. She had already succeeded and turned to leave. However, just as Li Changshou was about to take a step forward, the Lady of Earth said, “Fellow Daoist Changgeng, can you stay for a while longer?” Li Changshou looked at his Great Daoist Master and then at Fairy Yun Xiao. The former smiled and patted Li Changshou’s shoulder. The latter bowed slightly and left with Goddess Jin Ling. After a while, eight experts from the Dao Sect left the realm.

　　Li Changshou looked at the peaceful little world. For some reason, he felt a little guilty. She stood on a gentle slope a thousand feet away and bowed slightly to Li Changshou. She sighed and said, “Fellow Daoist, you really did it.” “I did not disappoint you,” Li Changshou agreed. He suddenly felt the rich power of the Heavenly Dao outside the water curtain!

　　The eight experts of the Dao Sect had obtained a large amount of merit as a reward. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Moreover, it was all the Eldest Senior Brothers of the Three Schools who attacked. I only sent some messages.”

　　The Lady of Earth pinched her fingers and deduced. She slowly said, “Fellow Daoist, don’t be humble. You have already helped the Netherworld and the Magi. It was all thanks to Fellow Daoist’s timely detection of the Man-Exterminating Sword that the destruction of the Magi was avoided. I am the twelfth ancestor of the Magi race. Fellow Daoist, please accept my bow.” On the hillside that was filled with white flowers and glowing lights, the Lady of Earth folded her hands in front of her and bowed to Li Changshou. “That won’t do!”

　　Li Changshou hurriedly jumped to the side and bowed to the Lady of Earth. He sighed again. “Goddess, don’t kill me! Everything I did was based on the motive to plan for my own benefits. There are many considerations when it comes to eliminating demons. I’m protecting the Magi so that the Netherworld can enter the Heavenly Courts as soon as possible. However, I don’t dare to accept such a huge gift from you, Goddess!” The Lady of Earth, Houtu, smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, do you want to take the benefits from me this time?”

　　“No, no.” Li Changshou shook his head repeatedly. “It’s already something that I can brag about to my fellow disciples in the future if I can help you, Goddess. I really did not think too much about it previously…

　　However, ahem. I’ve actually always been rather interested in the secret books of the Magi. Please take a look, Your Majesty.” Li Changshou drew with his fingers and casually wrote down the Magi talismans used to conceal the heavenly secrets. The Lady of Earth said gently, “In that case, I’ll organize the talisman techniques of the Magi into a book later and get them to send it to you.” “Thank you for the technique, Goddess!” Li Changshou was already satisfied.

　　However, seeing that the Lady of Earth seemed to still be in the mood to chat, he felt embarrassed to leave.

　　She asked again, “Do you really not want any other benefits?”

　　“There’s really no need.” She immediately said regretfully, “I originally wanted to give you some Pangu’s True Blood so that you can cultivate the Mystic Body Treasure Dharma and refine a supreme treasure pill. Since you refuse to accept it, so be it.”

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Which was more important? The treasure, of course! Especially the True Blood of Pangu. Together with the Eight-Nine Arcane Art that the Goddess had just bestowed, it was practically an unfair benefit for his body!

　　If he mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Art and strengthened it with Pangu’s True Blood, wouldn’t that be another life-saving trump card? However, at that moment, Li Changshou pondered… Sometimes, it was not a good thing to have too many opportunities. Although treasures were easy to obtain, karma was difficult to remove. Furthermore, he was a Primordial Dao cultivator. To him, the strength of his body was not that important.

　　Be steady.

　　If he really refined it in the future and could master the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, it would not be too late for him to come back and ask the Goddess for Pangu’s True Blood. Thinking about it, Li Changshou smiled and said, “Goddess, if you don’t have any other instructions, I’ll take my leave now.”

　　The Lady of Earth blinked and said gently, “I was just joking with you previously. These are all gifts to thank you.” “Wait for me to do something for the Magi,” Li Changshou said. “I don’t get up early without benefits. That way, I’ll be more motivated.”

　　“Fellow Daoist, you must be joking… Wait a moment. Someone wants to see you.”

　　The Lady of Earth held it with both hands. A grass ring slowly condensed in the immortal light and was slowly placed on the Lady of Earth’s head. Colorful rays of light flashed in the grass ring, and other rays of light were concealed. Only silver-white light shone.

　　The smile on the Lady of Earth’s lips gradually disappeared. Although her face and figure did not change, she gave off the feeling that she had become a different person.

　　The green grass on the hill below her feet began to sway. The white flowers slowly withered. A breeze blew past, bringing with it a boundless bleakness. “Ah…”

　　The Lady of Earth sighed faintly. “You should have been comforting me just now. At the end of the day, you were just comforting me. After all, I was just losing control of my emotions. It was the burden that all living beings placed on the Goddess. It was the biggest one… I’m very glad that you said that just now. Although the grief is still huge…” “Fellow Daoist.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “When you can control the power of Seven Emotions and Grief freely and find a way to go out, I can bring you around the world and introduce you to more friends. How about that?”

　　“Really?”

　　She took half a step forward, and her eyes lit up with a light that he had never seen before. However, she immediately said dejectedly, “Or are you still comforting me?” “I’m the Water God of the Heavenly Courts, a third-order righteous god.” Li Changshou said seriously, “If there’s no need, I usually won’t lie.” “Deal?”

　　“This is a momento for you.”

　　Li Changshou took out a pearl from his chest pocket and laughed into it. Then, he leaned over and placed it on the ground. Li Changshou told her to take care, took out his horsetail whisk and then flicked it gently. It was as if he had swept away the dust there. He turned around and walked towards the water curtain, leaving the Six Paths of Reincarnation without any obstacles. Just as he jumped out, a golden light descended from the sky and engulfed his body. Great merit!

　　Before Li Changshou could count the merit, the Great Daoist Master, Zhao Gongming, Daoist Duobao, and Perfected Primordial Unity had already gathered over.

　　Zhao Gongming sniffed and looked amused. The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Junior Brother, what did the Goddess teach you when she made you stay behind alone?” “Due to the various matters regarding the Man-Exterminating Sword, the Magi of the North Continent, and the Heavenly Courts and the Netherworld, Goddess Houtu thanked me,” Li Changshou said seriously. Their eyes were filled with disappointment.

　　Daoist Duobao waved his hand. “Disperse, disperse. Say hi to the Netherworld’s Yama King and find a place to drink.”

　　Zhao Gongming sighed. “I’ve gained a lot from this trip.”

　　“Yes.” Perfected Taiyi played with a painting in his hand and smiled. “The Sea-Calming Divine Pearl can spray water. That’s really an eye-opener.”

　　Crack!

　　Zhao Gongming squinted and smiled. He snapped his fingers gently, and twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls appeared around the Grand Unity Immortal. The latter’s figure was instantly frozen on the spot. “Is that so, Junior Brother Taiyi?” Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! The twenty-four pearls spat out water arrows at the same time. It was as if twenty-four old fists had hit him, causing him to shiver. Guang Chengzi shook his head when he saw that. Perfected Yu Ding smiled faintly.

　　When Li Changshou saw that, he could not help but fall into deep thought. When he saw Fairy Yun Xiao standing alone at the side, he took a step forward and walked over.

　　Later on, he still had to communicate with Perfected Tai Yi.

　　His Yin-Yang Language, which was at the maximum level, could not really be the trigger for the battle between the three sects.

　　Not far away, the Great Daoist Master was discussing with Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao about how to deal with the mysterious technique that the Lady of Earth had given him. He could tell that the three sects were…

　　They were not interested.

　　The cultivation techniques that the disciples of the Saints cultivated were all written by the Saints. Lady of Earth’s cultivation level was still slightly inferior to the Saints…

　　However, he had to give the Lady of Earth respect.

　　Therefore, the Great Daoist Master suggested that he would treat this mystical ability as a mysterious technique to protect the Dao Sect and not teach it to his disciples. Guang Chengzi and Daoist Duobao naturally did not have any objections.

　　In the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc, the silver light on the grass ring above the Lady of Earth’s head was gradually fading, leaving behind a long sigh. “Ah, what are you looking forward to? We definitely can’t go out. Now, I can only live with the other six incarnations. I might even be bullied. The Goddess definitely doesn’t like me. The other six will probably find me too dejected soon… What sisterhood of the same roots? Everything is fake. I’m so sad…”
