My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 217 40,000 On the Surface, But In Actual Fact...

Although it was just a joke to play background music when the Heavenly Soldiers appeared, Li Changshou had thought about it carefully.

He was not just trying to make things grand the Heavenly Courts. If it was just to create more clout, it would be more suitable for General Dongmu to bring his own musical ensembles. The trumpets and drums were jokes, but also a sign to the Dragon King of the East Ocean and the core members of the dragon race...

He, the Sea God of the South Ocean, was a member of the Heavenly Courts.

At that moment, Li Changshou wanted to give the dragon race a clear indication so that they could ensure that the Dragon Clan would not cause any trouble when the Jade Emperor’s decree landed in the Sea God Temple.

Look.

The wedding of the Dragon Palace was in chaos. Heavenly Soldiers appeared in the world to show their might.

As the tens of thousands of elite Heavenly Soldiers rushed into the sea, chaotic voices sounded in the Dragon Palace.

“This is... someone from the Heavenly Courts?”

“There are already so many soldiers in the Heavenly Courts? Well done. Didn’t they say that the Heavenly Courts are poor and that they are just the backyard of the Dao Sect!?!”

“The Heavenly Courts are here to kill demons? That sounds pretty.”

Li Changshou did not care much about those discussions. At that moment, most of the Qi Refinement cultivators looked down on the Heavenly Courts.

Of course, most of them did not pay attention to the Heavenly Courts.

Li Changshou secretly observed the reactions of the nine members of the Heavenly Courts in the hall. He realized that they were all eager and wanted to rush out to meet up with the Heavenly Courts’ elites... The Jade Emperor’s acting skills were quite good. His incarnation had fully taken on the role of a Heavenly General. His eyes were filled with the glory of defending the Heavenly Courts’ dignity.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Soldiers were about to reach the Crystal Palace!

Those Heavenly Soldiers were the true elites of the Heavenly Courts.

The so-called elites were only the most basic requirement. That batch of Heavenly Soldiers were proficient in the transformation techniques of battle formations and launching combined attacks.

What’s more, the immortal armors on their bodies were also very powerful!

The forty thousand immortal armors were a full set of Numinous Treasures that could form multiple array formations. If three or five of them gathered together, the armors on their bodies would have spiritual powers. They could borrow each other’s strength and help in time.

Li Changshou also wanted to get a few hundred sets of this set of armors to enrich the paper effigy tactics.

However, he could only think of solutions now...

Those precious armors were expensive. Li Changshou was still worrying about the Little Qiong Peak’s vagrancy plan. He could only make arrangements for those gaudy things...

When the 40,000 Heavenly Soldiers rushed to the Crystal Palace, they had already split up and gathered. On the east and south side of the Crystal Palace, 20,000 troops were gathered.

Li Changshou seriously suspected that the Heavenly Soldiers had been carefully selected. After scanning them with his immortal senses, he realized that they were all tall, handsome, and had good potential...

It seemed that His Majesty, the Jade Emperor, was rather concerned about the Heavenly Courts’ debut.

The experts from the Dragon Palace immediately went to negotiate. The Heavenly Courts also sent their Heavenly Generals forward, saying that they were ordered to help the dragon race.

Before the Dragon Palace experts could return to report to him, the orders from the East Ocean Dragon King had already been given everywhere.

“The Heavenly Soldiers are the reinforcements of the dragon race. The entire Dragon race and the Heavenly Soldiers are rushing to reinforce each other to defend against the enemy.”

Just like that, the 40,000 Heavenly Soldiers successfully joined the battle and attacked the tens of thousands of elite troops that had rushed to the Dragon Palace.

Just as the short-range weapons were about to clash, the Heavenly Soldiers in the surroundings moved in unison. They chanted incantations, made hand seals, and threw out... three beans.

He heard a series of crackling sounds in the seawater.

Three “strange immortal soldiers” appeared on the heads and feet of each Heavenly Soldier.

A well-proportioned archer and a burly man appeared above the Heavenly Soldiers.

Immortal Bean Soldier: Ice Archer

Immortal Bean Soldier: Divine Shielder

The forty thousand Ice Archers fired their arrows at the same time. They shot out tens of thousands of ice arrows formed from immortal power. The seawater within a radius of 50 kilometers became freezing cold.

The forty thousand strong men who had appeared at the same time raised their huge shields and rushed in front of the Heavenly Soldiers. They were the first to charge forward, charging forward in an awe-inspiring manner!

The immortal beans that the Heavenly Soldiers were equipped with and used were all uniform.

Under the circumstances where there were no mistakes in the casting of the Heavenly Soldiers, the Heavenly Soldiers would consist of forty thousand Ice Archers, forty thousand Giant Shield Warriors, and forty thousand...

Pea Archers!

The dragons and guests were all stunned.

In the battlefield, forty thousand Pea Archers were swaying Following the rhythm of joy, they spat out colorful rays of light and fist-sized beans. They followed closely behind their archers and contributed their immortal powers...

There were plenty of old dragons and seniors present. What had they not seen?

They had never seen those Pea Archers before! Just as someone was about to make fun of them, the icy cold aura outside the Dragon Palace exploded. The forty thousand ice arrows exploded with the full-swing strike of forty thousand Qi Refinement cultivators in the Essence Immortal realm!

A large number of seafood ice statues appeared in the sea!

Soon after, the colorful and fist-sized beans flew into the ice sculptures and exploded!

Five Elements Cycle, Wood and Fire Twins!

If it was any other time, no matter how many Primordial Immortals attacked together, the experts in the Dragon Palace would not be shocked.

It was just a small scene.

However, at that moment, he looked at the pillars of fire that had exploded in the seawater, as well as the ice sculptures that had been shattered...

The dragons and their guests were more or less surprised.

What surprised them was not the power of the Pea Archers spewing beans.

Instead, it were those strange-looking Dharma soldiers and Dao weapons, which did not look proper no matter how one looked at them. The ‘killing power’ that they released with power of the Essence Immortal was equivalent to an immortal weapon in the Perfected Immortal realm!

“Amazing!” “The Heavenly Courts actually have such a mystical technique!”

S

As the praises from various places rose, the Pea Archers released their second wave of arrows.

Following that, the forty thousand happy Pea Archers began to rapidly wither. In the blink of an eye, they turned into piles of ashes in the seawater.

Condensing their immortal power would only be enough for them to shoot two rounds simultaneously. Thar was the consequence of increasing the lethality of one attack. However, the effect was quite good. Hiding in a corner of the Dragon Palace, the father of the Primordial Immortal Beans revealed a gratified smile...

The Pea Archer fired two rounds at the same time. Under the protection of tens of thousands of armored warriors and the Ice Archers, forty thousand elites of the Heavenly Courts charged into the battle formation that had been mostly destroyed. They started a ruthless massacre towards the remaining enemies...

After that, the forty thousand Heavenly Soldiers and eighty thousand Immortal Beans immediately changed directions and charged towards the battle outside.

At that moment, there were two Pea Archers on each of the 40,000 Heavenly Soldiers.

After that battle, the enemy would not only have to calculate the number of Heavenly troops in the future battles.

They also had to calculate how many beans were hidden on the Heavenly Soldiers...

The Heavenly Soldiers appeared, combined with the modified Immortal Bean Soldiers, and the immortal beans that he had painstakingly nurtured... The overall effect was beyond Li Changshou’s expectations.

Li Changshou hesitated for a moment and decided not to reveal himself for the time being.

There was no need to overdo it...

Yes, it was definitely not because he found it a pity to waste the paper effigies, as well as the various poisonous pills that he had spent a lot of precious materials and years of hard work on.

The paper effigy army was originally prepared to cooperate with the Heavenly troops. After the Heavenly troops were in a deadlock, they led the Heavenly troops to the breakthrough.

Now that the Heavenly Courts lacked soldiers and generals, Li Changshou would not be able to explain to the Jade Emperor if he let too many Heavenly Soldiers die there. He would also implicate General Dongmu.

At that moment, most of the goals that he had planned had been successfully achieved.

Next, he had to think about how to retreat from the enemy, and allow the Heavenly Courts to show their might, so as to resolve the situation smoothly.

“Changshou?”

The Great Daoist Master’s voice suddenly sounded beside Li Changshou’s ear. He immediately composed himself and stood up. “Great Daoist Master, I’m here.”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and asked, “Is this the divine power I gave you?”

“Yes,” Li Changshou said. “I’ve modified some of the ways to use the mystical abilities and improved those beans.”

As he spoke, he had already taken out the latest version of the modified soldiers formed from beans, as well as the top-grade immortal beans and poisonous immortal beans that he had raised. He had pushed them to the Great Daoist Master.

The Great Daoist Master picked up a bean and looked at it carefully. Then, he sighed with emotion.

“How many ideas do you have in your head?”

The Great Daoist Master laughed and scolded, “Put this away. The Heavenly Courts can use it in the future. If that Little Uncle-Master of mine doesn’t give a reward for your help today, you can come to Tushita Palace to seek justice from me.”

Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat.

Is this an indirect invitation to the Tushita Palace?

He hurriedly nodded and agreed.

At that moment, he had already reaped quite a lot of rewards from the trip to the Dragon Palace. He had obtained the Spirit Pills that the Great Daoist Master had given him and received an invitation with limited conditions.

From now on, he only needed to find an excuse to go to the Tushita Palace to pay his respects to the Grand Supreme Elder! The past twelve years had not been wasted!

Li Changshou bowed and put the mystical ability and immortal beans back into his storage Dharma treasure. Then, he asked, “Great Daoist Master, how’s Senior Zhao doing?”

Xuan Du’s expression immediately turned strange. He pointed at the crystal mirror and smiled. “I really take my hat’s off to this Junior Brother Zhao.”

He saw... Zhao Gongming was lying on the cloud and vomiting blood.

The six old Daoists in front of him had extremely gloomy expressions. They gritted their teeth and were on the verge of exploding. However, they forcefully suppressed their anger.

Zhao Gongming said weakly, “Ah, it’s so tragic. It’s so tragic. The disciples of Jie School were actually bullied by the Western Sect. I fought six people alone and got injured to this extent... Ah. Fellow Daoists, you must follow me to the Green Touring Palace today.”

“I!”

An old Daoist grabbed the jade ruler and was about to attack.

Zhao Gongming’s eyes widened, and he instantly became more energetic. Four Double-Shadow-Retaining Balls appeared around him.

That expression showed that he was clearly saying... “Come on, hit me. I will remember everything!”

The old Daoist priest who was holding the ruler stomped his feet and cursed, “Shameless! You’re extremely shameless!”

“Pfff...”

Uncle Zhao spat out another mouthful of blood and smiled bitterly. “I’ve already been injured to this extent, yet you’re still using your concealed power to hurt me!”

“Nonsense! I didn’t use any Dharma powers!”

“Fellow Daoist.” The hunchbacked old Daoist stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Zhao Gongming. “Today is indeed not the time to play with you. If you are interested, we will definitely accompany you later. At that moment, the Dragon Palace is in danger. Teacher ordered us to go and rescue them. Fellow Daoist, please do not stop us.”

Zhao Gongming was amused.

He suddenly understood what the Sea God had said previously. It seemed that the Western Sect was putting on that act!

He would first get someone to sneak an attack on him and then jump out to protect the dragon race. That was a conspiracy. He wanted to crush the dragon race and fool the others? “In terms of shamelessness, I, Zhao Gongming, would not dare to compare with you.”

Master Zhao said weakly. He looked up at the sky and sighed softly. “There’s a saying in the mortal world. After a few exchanges, we’re considered to be familiar with each other.

Come, make a choice. Do you want to follow me to the Green Touring Palace or do we follow the same rules?”

“Fellow Daoist! Don’t go too far!”

“Old rules? Are you really not afraid that your Saint will destroy your Dao because you shamed him?”

Zhao Gongming did not mind at all. He lay there and used the Sea-Calming Pearl to seal the surroundings.

His teacher had been in seclusion all year round. If his teacher knew about that, based on his temperament, he would probably...

He would make remarks about the intensity of him vomiting blood and the expression he had after lying down. At the same time, he would instruct him to look for other Saints to test the effect.

At that moment, Zhao Gongming was calm, easy-going, and confident that he would definitely be able to take care of them...

Without rich experience, he would not be able to be so natural!

Li Changshou shook his head at the crystal mirror and sighed. “Although I was the one who created the technique to cheat, I’m far inferior to Senior Gongming.”

Xuan Du, who was at the side, laughed and slapped his thigh. He kept saying “gentle” and “extreme”.

The Great Daoist Master and Little Daoist Master were watching the show when they suddenly heard a dragon’s roar coming from outside the Dragon Palace.

The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “The reinforcements from the North Ocean Dragon Palace have arrived. The hidden personnel of the Western Sect are beginning to retreat. The South Ocean Dragon Palace seems to be receiving help from the West Ocean Dragon Palace.”

Li Changshou finally heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “Great Daoist Master, inform Senior Gongming to leave. There’s no need to continue scamming him.”

“Okay.”

Great Daoist Master Xuan Du closed his eyes and focused. A Taiji painting slowly rotated in his palm and a trace of Dao runes flew into the crystal mirror.

There was an image in the mirror. Zhao Gongming blinked and slowly got up from the ground. The six experts from the Western Sect looked at Zhao Gongming warily.

However, Master Zhao’s expression changed and became solemn. He bowed to the six of them and sighed.

“Fellow Daoists, I still can’t think of a way to crack it. I feel regretful. Forget it. It’s meaningless to play with you. I’m suddenly uninterested. I’ll take my leave.” After saying that, Zhao Gongming raised his hand and beckoned. Twenty-four Sea-Calming Beads flew over from all directions and surrounded him.

Zhao Gongming looked at the six of them warily. He took two steps back. The twenty-four Sea God Calming Pearls trembled gently and disappeared. An old Daoist shouted angrily, “Fellow Daoist, please stay!”

“Forget it, let him go! We still have important matters to attend to!”

Now that the Sea-Calming Pearls were gone, the Six Elders immediately searched the East Ocean with all their might and saw the situation in the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

Just as Daoist Wen Jing and the others retreated, the Dragon Palace army cooperated with the Heavenly Soldiers and forced the Sea Clan rebel army and the Deep-sea Demon Soldiers to retreat...

“Zhao Gongming! How dare you foil the plans of my sect!?!”

An old Daoist priest gritted his teeth and shouted angrily. Suddenly, he lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. However, he was so angry that his Dao realm was unstable and he suffered minor injuries.
