Chapter 362 Worshiping the Virgin Mary in the Palace

　　What should I do? I’m waiting on the cloud, it’s quite urgent! On the Heavenly Courts’ cloud path, Bian Zhuang had a warm smile on his face. He kept using his magnetic male voice to talk about some interesting things about the Heavenly Courts. He was obviously not interested in the fairy who was listening patiently. In reality, Bian Zhuang was filled with uneasiness and anxiety. I’m just a human Heaven Immortal who has just cultivated for thousands of years. Why am I involved in such a huge matter? When the female immortal announced the name of the Saint, a wisp of the Saint’s Dao runes appeared on her body. Bian Zhuang seemed to have seen a red embroidered ball swaying gently in front of his eyes…

　　Bian Zhuang immediately understood that the female immortal was the “envoy” who represented the Saint!

　　According to the rules of the Heavenly Courts, he could stop the disciples of the Saints at will. However, the “envoys” who represented the Saint’s decree could not be stopped. They directly represented the Saint!

　　The moment he confirmed the fairy’s identity, Bian Zhuang’s smile stiffened. He actually thought of many things…

　　Half a month ago, the Water God had schemed against the demons and destroyed hundreds of thousands of demons. He had also killed a group of demons that had survived from the ancient times. Everyone in the Primordial World knew that in the ancient times, Goddess Nuwa and her brother, Fuxi, had traveled to the Primordial World. At that time, they were invited to join the demon race by the Demon Emperor who had just established the Demon Heavenly Courts. They were considered guests of the demon race.

　　After the demons were overthrown by the humans, the demon race’s supreme treasure, the Demon-Summoning Banner, fell into the hands of Goddess Nuwa. Goddess Nuwa had also appeared to protect the demons and was regarded as their greatest backer!

　　At this moment, Goddess Nuwa sent someone to summon the Water God…

　　If Water God goes, he might not be able to return! How did he, Bian Zhuang, obtain everything? Wasn’t it all given to him by the Water God? As an immortal, he had to be grateful. At that moment, Bian Zhuang could only do his best to help the Water God.

　　How can I help? What else can I do…

　　Bian Zhuang smiled and said, “Fairy, look. This bean field is where I used to farm. It’s growing quite well now.”

　　“General, is this really the way to the Water God Residence?” the female immortal asked with a frown.

　　Bian Zhuang said, “Of course. After we pass the place in front and fly forward, we will be able to find the Water God Residence… Fairy, do you know what is ahead?” “General, I can read,” the female immortal said seriously. “This place is the Tushita Palace belonging to the Grand Supreme Elder, who is the incarnation of the Grand Pure One. I’m here on Goddess Nuwa’s orders today, so it’s not convenient for me to pay a visit.”

　　“Fairy, you’re so knowledgeable!”

　　Bian Zhuang raised his thumb and praised, “The Saint has summoned the Water God! It’s a huge matter! We can’t delay it! Fairy, please. We will reach the Water God Residence soon.”

　　After saying that, Bian Zhuang deliberately rode a cloud and walked around the Tushita Palace. Then, he brought the fairy around a corner and headed towards the Water God Residence.

　　That was the only brilliant plan that Bian Zhuang could come up with at the last minute. The Heavenly General who was guarding the door just now must have arrived at the Lingxiao Treasure Hall… By deliberately taking a detour around the Tushita Palace, he could not only inform the Great Daoist Master or other experts of Ren School, but he could also buy enough time for the other Heavenly Generals to report this matter to the Jade Emperor!

　　He was the deputy commander of the Heavenly River Navy.

　　After a while, the Water God Residence was in sight. The female immortal from Goddess Nuwa’s Palace said softly, “General, is this Water God so prestigious in the Heavenly Courts?”

　　Bian Zhuang was stunned. He smiled and said, “Lord Water God naturally…” “General, you are thinking too much.” The female immortal said gently, “My Goddess sent me to invite Water God over. How can I hide it from the Grand Pure One?”

　　“This…”

　　The female immortal continued smiling. “General, you are very loyal and admirable. However, please quickly bring me to see the Water God. If I procrastinate in completing the task that Goddess Nuwa has given me, it will be disrespectful to her.”

　　“Ah, yes, yes. We’ll go now. We’ll be there soon.” Bian Zhuang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and did not dare to cause any more trouble. He rode a cloud and headed straight for the Water God Residence. At the same time… outside the Pill Chamber of Little Qiong Peak, there were faint ripples in the universe. The Taiji Painting slowly condensed and Great Daoist Master Xuan Du walked over.

　　“Are you asleep?” The Great Daoist Master frowned and looked at Li Changshou, who was lying on the rocking chair. He was also in a dilemma. The Great Daoist Master naturally knew that Li Changshou had been mentally exhausted because of the mental strength of the Demon Ascension Mountain Range. After all, he had watched the “live broadcast” of the Heavenly Courts fighting the demons through the Taiji Painting. At that moment, Li Changshou was still resting. However, the fairy sent by Goddess Nuwa was almost reaching the Water God Residence… It would be too rude if Goddess Nuwa’s envoy waited for Li Changshou to wake up. “Changgeng… Changshou?” The person who was sleeping did not respond.

　　The Great Daoist Master smiled and was about to call him a few more times when he suddenly thought of something. A three-inch-long sword flew out from his sleeve and pierced the back of Li Changshou’s hand.

　　If the small sword pierced him, he would have a chance to teach his junior brother properly! The small sword revealed a little sharpness. However, when it flew three feet around Li Changshou… “Who’s there!?!” Li Changshou opened his eyes and disappeared! The Little Qiong Peak began to tremble violently. The vast five-element spiritual energy circulated in the mountain, and the array foundations were lit up. The eighteen killing arrays and three trapping arrays were activated at the same time! He then looked at the Great Daoist Master’s surroundings. A wisp of Dao runes circulated and stopped the “objects” that were shooting at him from all directions. Some of the items included dozens of poisonous blades, a few purple-black transcendent-grade lightning-drawing talismans, three Exploding Golden Cores, and more than ten miniature array foundations…

　　In fact, a pitch-black cylinder that was thirty feet long and three feet wide appeared at the top of the Pill Chamber!

　　The dense array of talismans on the cylinder were activated one after another. The power of the thunderstorm contained in it soared. The black muzzle of the cylinder was already aimed at the figure standing with his hands behind his back in front of the Pill Chamber… “Well?”

　　The Great Daoist Master widened his eyes.

　　Once the restrictions on the pitch-black cylinder stopped, the trembling Little Qiong Peak immediately returned to peace. The vast spiritual energy in the mountain quickly returned to peace and could be retracted at will.

　　Clearly, Li Changshou had woken up. He stuck his head out of a tree hole more than five kilometers away. He looked at the Great Daoist Master in the Pill Chamber helplessly and hurriedly flew back on a cloud. Li Changshou bowed and whispered, “Great Daoist Master, this… I’m overreacting. Great Daoist Master, don’t mind me.”

　　The Great Daoist Master pondered for a while and said, “I was the one who probed you first for no reason. I want you to set it up again.”

　　“It’s fine, it’s fine. Most of them can be used repeatedly…” “However, Changshou, um, Junior Brother.” “Huh? Go ahead and speak your mind.”

　　The Great Daoist Master frowned and stared at Li Changshou who was in front of him. He asked the question that came from the depths of his essence soul, “How strong is your enemy?” Li Changshou said seriously, “I only did everything that I could do with my heart. It’s better to be prepared. Only then can I cultivate in peace.”

　　The Great Daoist Master smiled and shook his head. “Seriously… Forget it. Follow me first.” Jiu Jiu and Ling’e were rushing over from the chess room.

　　The Great Daoist Master directly wrapped his immortal power around Li Changshou and used the power of the Taiji Painting to leave.

　　He walked through the void and strolled through the universe.

　　The Great Daoist Master was about to talk about serious matters when he suddenly snapped back to reality and glared at Li Changshou. Could it be that if this fellow is powerful enough, he would even be considered an imaginary enemy of the Saint and the Heavenly Dao? Li Changshou asked softly, “Great Daoist Master, what’s wrong?” “Nothing… Goddess Nuwa sent someone to call you to her palace. I’m here to remind you so that you don’t offend Goddess Nuwa.”

　　Li Changshou frowned slightly and muttered softly, “Goddess Nuwa has appeared so early? Isn’t that a little unreasonable…”

　　“Don’t try to guess the Saint’s intentions.”

　　Li Changshou pondered for a while and took two steps forward.

　　“Great Daoist Master, um, Senior Brother, are you one of the earliest humans to appear in the world?”

　　The Great Daoist Master was about to nod when he suddenly read something in Li Changshou’s calm eyes…

　　It was a trick.

　　A moment later, in front of the Heavenly Courts’ Water God Residence. Just as Bian Zhuang arrived with the female immortal from Goddess Nuwa’s Palace, the door of the Water God Residence opened and two figures in Daoist robes walked out. The young Daoist on the left was naturally the Great Daoist Master. The white-robed, white-haired elder on the right was what Li Changshou’s main body had turned into after he cast the transformation technique, the illusion technique, and the physical transformation technique. Li Changshou’s thoughts were very clear. If he used his incarnation to meet Goddess Nuwa, or if he directly put his true body in his incarnation, it would not be safe. It would be better to use this method. If Goddess Nuwa blamed him, Li Changshou would immediately undo the concealments and restore his original appearance… He would look like the Little Daoist Master of Ren School.

　　The fairy walked forward and bowed to the Great Daoist Master. She addressed him as Senior Brother and smiled at Li Changshou. “This is the Water God? Goddess has invited you. I wonder if the Water God is free to follow me to the Holy Mother Palace.” “Since Goddess Nuwa has asked to see me, I have to follow the orders.” Li Changshou cupped his hands and said, “Please lead the way, Fairy.” “Please follow me.” The female immortal took off the jade hairpin beside her sideburns and waved it gently at the side. She made an exquisite cloud boat and bowed to invite Li Changshou to board.

　　The Great Daoist Master at the side said, “I’ve been cultivating for many years and have never gone to the Goddess Nuwa’s Palace to visit her. This time, I have a chance. Why don’t we go together?”

　　Then, he stepped onto the wooden boat.

　　The female immortal blinked and smiled. “Senior Brother Xuan Du, you really care about the Water God.”

　　Then, she did not say anything else. She stood at the front of the cloud boat and held a lamp in her hand. She rode the boat and floated towards the East Gate.

　　Before he left, Li Changshou said warmly to Bian Zhuang, “General, you have worked hard.” Bian Zhuang hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed. He did not even dare to breathe loudly in front of the Great Daoist Master… Before the cloud boat left the Heavenly Courts, General Dongmu rushed over and took out two gift boxes for Li Changshou. He said that they were gifts from the Jade Emperor to Goddess Nuwa and asked Li Changshou to bring them along.

　　How could the female immortal from Goddess Nuwa’s Palace not understand?

　　The Great Daoist Master followed and General Dongmu rushed over all because Ren School and the Heavenly Courts wanted to express their support for the Water God…

　　She simply smiled and did not say anything.

　　The cloud boat successfully sailed out of the East Heaven Gate and rose rapidly. However, the cloud boat was very stable and there was no sound of wind.

　　Li Changshou and Great Daoist Master Xuan Du rested with their eyes closed the entire way. They did not send voice transmissions to each other. They had already discussed how to deal with the situation when they rushed to the Water God Residence.

　　Logically speaking, since Goddess Nuwa had “invited” him over, she would not make things difficult for him. At most, she would give him a verbal warning However, Li Changshou was afraid that Goddess Nuwa would not act according to logic. Just in case, inviting the Great Daoist Master to accompany him would be an additional insurance. The cloud boat quickly flew to the east of the East Ocean and flew up along the pillar, entering the misty clouds. In the blink of an eye, they flew out of this world and into the endless void. The cloud ship sped in a certain direction for another hour before it began to slow down.

　　In just an hour, they were already tens of thousands of kilometers away from the five continents. The lantern in the female immortal’s hand lit up. Suddenly, a star flickered in the night sky, and the cloud boat rushed towards it.

　　Upon closer inspection, the star was actually a door. It flew towards the cloud boat and “swallowed” it…

　　“Senior Brother Xuan Du, Water God, we have arrived in Goddess Nuwa’s Palace.”

　　After the female immortal spoke gently, Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du opened their eyes and saw a sea of clouds that was shimmering with seven-colored light. A magnificent palace floated in various parts of the sea of clouds.

　　The female immortal continued to ride the cloud boat and shuttled between the palaces and pagodas. This place was like a Small World. The five elements were complete, and Yin and Yang coexisted. There were divine birds roaming in the sea of clouds. Many beautiful figures of fairies cultivating and playing could be seen in various buildings.

　　The Great Daoist Master and Li Changshou had already stood up and were admiring the scenery of Goddess Nuwa’s Palace.

　　Naturally, the two male Qi Refinement cultivators could not look at the treasure pond that was enshrouded in immortal light. When the cloud ship passed by the most magnificent gilded treasure hall, the Great Daoist Master sent a voice transmission.

　　“It should be fine. If the Holy Mother wants to blame you for the demons, she will summon you in this hall.”

　　Li Changshou relaxed a little, but he was still very nervous..

　　Not long after, the sound of water could be heard. The clouds gradually dissipated. The cloud boat had unknowingly landed on a quiet pond, causing thin ripples on the water surface… The lake was boundless and deep. It was like a mirror that reflected a resplendent galaxy, making one’s Dao heart exceptionally calm. A small island appeared in front of him. Li Changshou looked up and saw faint mysterious and light Dao runes floating out of the pavilion on the island. He could not help but want to comprehend them…

　　The residence of a Saint was indeed extraordinary.

　　The cloud boat stopped. The female immortal led the three of them to the island. There was a winding jade staircase that led to the pavilion in the island. The Great Daoist Master walked in front while Li Changshou followed behind. He looked straight ahead and breathed calmly. Then, he suddenly realized that the island was carved from a piece of supreme-grade immortal spirit jade…

　　Finally, they arrived in front of the elegant pavilion. The female immortal who brought them there said gently, “Your Majesty, the Water God has arrived.”

　　The Great Daoist Master immediately bowed and said loudly, “Greetings, Aunt-Master!”

　　Li Changshou bowed and said in a low voice, “Greetings, Aunt-Master.” Suddenly, he heard a chuckle from inside the door. A voice that was hard to describe sounded. It sounded ethereal, but also kind and benevolent. When he first heard it, he felt that it was gentle, but it also contained endless dignity. Goddess Nuwa said, “Xuan Du, go elsewhere to play. I want to see the Water God alone.”

　　Playing… playing… However, the Great Daoist Master did not lose his temper. He smiled and said, “Yes.”

　　The female immortal made an inviting gesture and brought the Great Daoist Master away from the island. They boarded the cloud boat and quickly floated away.

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　What does Goddess Nuwa mean?

　　Could it be that she really wants to lower her status and talk to me about the demons? This is illogical and completely unreasonable. As if she had seen through Li Changshou’s thoughts, the mysterious voice in the pavilion sounded again. “Don’t worry. I didn’t invite you here today for the demons. The demon race was originally formed by the combination of all living beings. My race is an ancient Connate lifeform. Now, among the demons, those who have a close relationship with me have long disappeared.” Li Changshou’s eyebrows relaxed slightly, but he was even more puzzled. Why is Goddess Nuwa… taking the initiative to explain these to me? Could it be that she has a more complex plan? However, what would she plot against me for? “Thank you for your guidance.” Then, he heard the words from the pavilion. “Water God, I have three questions that I want you to answer.” Li Changshou maintained his Dao salute and said, “Please give me a question, Master.” Hence, the mysterious voice sounded again. This time, it sounded a little playful. “Shouldn’t Ke Zhen’e’s sister be called Han Xiaoying? Why is she Ke Le’er?”
