My Senior Brother is Too Steady

Chapter 751: Bad

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The atmosphere in the Lingxiao Hall was a little oppressive.

Youqin Xuanya requested an order. The generals agreed. The ministers beside her remained silent. The Jade Emperor on the platform looked calm.

Everyone knew that Taibai Jinxing had contributed to this matter. Li Jing had led the army to fight the demons of Huaguo Mountain. Taibai Jinxing had been pushing this matter.

Now that the general was dissatisfied, he naturally wanted Taibai Jinxing to stand up and settle the matter.

The small jade curtain in front of the Jade Emperor swayed gently. He looked at the fake Taibai Jinxing beside him. The latter smiled and cupped his hands at the Jade Emperor. He turned around and looked at Youqin Xuanya.

The fake Taibai Jinxing said slowly, “Marshal Youqin, this matter cannot be decided in a word. It was also discussed in the Lingxiao Hall. Why did you not say anything at that time? Now, you are asking His Majesty to retract his order. In that case, where is the heavenly might? Where is His Majesty’s prestige?”

“May I ask, Lord Taibai Jinxing?”

Youqin Xuanya’s voice was neither fast nor slow. She held her sword and took half a step forward. Her bright eyes stared at the white-robed old man.

For some reason, Xuanya felt strange. However, she forcefully suppressed that strange feeling. At that moment, she was just stating the facts.

She said firmly, “When we were discussing this matter previously, how many immortals and generals of the Heavenly Courts were present? The reason why I’m standing here today is because Lord Taibai Jinxing’s actions are really hard to believe.”

“Why?”

The impostor Taibai Jinxing frowned and said, “Could it be that the Lingxiao Hall needs to report to Marshal Youqin when discussing the confidential matters of the world?”

Youqin Xuanya answered, “If you didn’t tell them previously, why did you say that the immortals and gods knew about it?”

“Marshal Youqin, do you mean that the immortals’ decision should be considered before the Jade Emperor can issue a decree?”

The fake Taibai Jinxing smiled and answered, “The Jade Emperor is benevolent and trusts the immortals of the various sects. He usually takes care of them and can’t bear to reprimand them. However, Marshal Youqin, don’t forget that the Heavenly Courts need the Jade Emperor’s decree. The Heavenly Courts are still the decree of His Majesty. Today, you used your words as an excuse to offend the Jade Emperor. You looked down on the Heavenly Might and refused to abide by the Heavenly rules. What should you do?”

Youqin Xuanya pursed her lips and lowered her head without saying anything.

She could not outargue him.

They were clearly not on the same level.

The fake Taibai Jinxing took half a step back and said, “Marshal Youqin, I know that you have a sincere heart. It’s just that you were instigated and used by others. That’s why that event happened today. The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal is just a fake name. Since it’s been given to the Monkey King, so be it. What disadvantages could there be for the Heavenly Courts? What Marshal Youqin said just now is actually a little exaggerated. The Beautiful Monkey King is a Connate Stone Embryo. He was born from the Heaven Mending Stone and had great merit and Dharma powers. His character was not bad. He only approached the demons after he was born and is thus considered one of them. Now that the five continents are stable and the four seas are peaceful, the Heavenly Courts are ruling the Three Realms. You must not only conquer and battle, you must learn to be flexible. The races with many living beings in the world are demons. There are countless demons and they can’t be exterminated. Why don’t we reform the demons and let them survive in the world? The demons, humans, and Connate lifeforms are all living beings. Marshal Youqin, don’t insist on eliminating all the demons in the world because you are a human. The situation is small. We have to look forward.”

“But...”

Youqin Xuanya paused. A sentence appeared in her heart.

It was a warm voice. It spoke unhurriedly about the living beings of the Three Realms that he had arranged. It mentioned, mentioned...

“Marshal Youqin.” The fake Taibai Jinxing smiled and said, “Why don’t you do this!”

“Lord Taibai Jinxing is wrong!”

Youqin Xuanya suddenly looked up. Her eyes flickered as she said firmly, “The race of all living beings are not all transformed into demons. The ten thousand spirits are all living beings. The title of the demons comes from the Demon Court. They originally call themselves the holy race and then call themselves the demons. The demons are derogatory in the human race, but they are intelligent when with the other demons. Now, in the Three Realms, there are Heaven, Earth, and Man. Now, in the six lifetimes, humans, spirits, immortals, demons, and ghosts, the Spirit race only needed to get rid of the demons and return to the appearance of the thousands of races. Although most of the demons of Huaguo Mountain had been born in the past ten thousand years, they are controlled by the remnant will of the ancient Demon Court. They have many negative karma and are fearless in their actions. Even if there are good people among them, there are very few good people. How could such demons be converted to the Heavenly Courts? How can a Demon King born from the demon race be known as the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal?The word ‘Heaven’s Equal’ is the same as the sky. That is disrespectful to the Jade Emperor!”

The fake Taibai Jinxing squinted slightly.

The atmosphere in the Lingxiao Hall became gloomy again. The immortals were silent. The Jade Emperor still sat on the throne expressionlessly, as if he had not heard anything.

By the lotus pond on the spiritual mountain, Li Changshou stared at the Water Mirror technique that Buddha Duobao had activated. As he looked at the beautiful face of his Toxic Junior Sister, he recalled the various situations that he had experienced when they first met in the Immortal Du Sect.

She had the same vigor and spirit.

Even if her knowledge was limited, she had to stick to her beliefs of upholding justice. That was the shining Youqin Xuanya.

Li Changshou silently praised him.

Duobao’s expression softened. He said slowly, “Xuanya is not bad. She can make the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao speechless. It’s a little long, ahem, the taboo of the Heavenly Dao.”

At that moment, Li Changshou was disguised as the Void Bodhi. He naturally had to consider what the Void Bodhi should say.

Although he was already close to flipping the table, he could only respect his opponent and do what he could to the extreme. Even a minute or an instant could affect the final outcome.

Since he wanted to seek stability, he naturally had to follow through.

Therefore, Li Changshou said, “This female immortal is probably in danger.”

“Fellow Daoist, you’re wrong,” Buddha Duobao said slowly. “Putting aside the fact that the Jade Emperor will protect this female immortal, even her friends who are restrained by the Heavenly Dao in the Heavenly Courts will protect her. The Heavenly Dao is naturally omnipotent in this world. However, it cannot do as it pleases. There is a balance in it. The Heavenly Dao wants to consider that if we touch Youqin Xuanya, it will definitely cause the experts to be dissatisfied with the Heavenly Courts. It’s definitely not worth it.”

Duobao paused and continued, “I, ahem, I will attack when necessary. At most, I will bring Youqin Xuanya back to the spiritual mountain to protect her. If necessary, I will send her out of the Primordial World to meet the Heavenly Dao taboo.”

Li Changshou thanked his senior brother in his heart, but he nodded calmly.

Just as he was about to say a few words to undermine the situation, he heard another familiar voice from the water surface.

It was General Dongmu.

“This... Your Majesty, I have something to say.”

General Dongmu bowed and stood up. The Jade Emperor nodded slowly and said warmly, “General Dongmu, just say it. No matter what you say, I will forgive you.”

Duobao raised his eyebrows. Li Changshou chuckled in his heart.

Junior Sister Youqin had him, the taboo of the Heavenly Dao, and many of his good friends behind her. Therefore, the Jade Emperor only watched how she insulted the fake Taibai Jinxing and did not say anything.

Only General Dongmu stood up. He wanted to say something to ease the awkward situation, but the Jade Emperor took the initiative to protect General Dongmu.

General Dongmu said in a warm voice, “Marshal Youqin and everyone who is dissatisfied with this matter, the matter has already been decided. The Heavenly Courts cannot change it. In my opinion, it is indeed a little... rash to confer the Beautiful Monkey King the Great Sage. However, Lord Taibai Jinxing is also sparing a thought for the Heavenly Courts. This matter was just the opinions of his colleagues regarding the governance of the Three Realms. It is not a huge dispute. Don’t blame His Majesty. Instead of continuing to debate about this matter, it’s better to think of ways to make up for it. Let’s see if there is a way to have the best of both worlds. It can suppress the arrogance of the demons and not let this matter affect the reputation of the Heavenly Courts or the operation of the Three Realms.”

After saying that, General Dongmu bowed to the Jade Emperor and lowered his head to return to his seat. He took a deep breath.

Taibai Jinxing nodded slowly and took half a step back. He stood beside the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor said slowly, “Dear ministers, let’s have a discussion.”

“Your Majesty!”

Li Jing was the first to speak. “I am willing to lead the troops to destroy the demons of Huaguo Mountain. In a hundred years, I will destroy the ancient demons of the Three Realms!”

“Your Majesty!” Wen Qu bowed. “Since the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal has already submitted to the Heavenly Courts, the kind people among the demons can also become the help of the Heavenly Courts. It’s just nice to use this matter as an opportunity to disintegrate the demons.”

Another minister said, “I think that it’s not appropriate. The demons have been a threat to the Heavenly Courts for a long time. In the past, the Heavenly Courts had beaten the demons into enemies of the world. Now, they are going to recruit them wantonly. How can it not affect the Heavenly Might?”

“I’m slow-witted. I think we can kill all living beings above the Heaven Immortal realm in the demon race and send the demons to the mountains.”

“You have to know that the demons above the Heaven Immortal realm have no children, friends, or confidantes. They hate the Heavenly Courts, and the world is in chaos.”

At that moment, the Lingxiao Hall became lively.

Youqin Xuanya had already retreated to the side. She had risked her life to advise him. Now, she had successfully retreated.

However, Li Changshou felt a little helpless when he saw that.

Isn’t this silly girl clearly going to be used by the Heavenly Dao...

At the same time, above the 33 Layered Heavens, in the Purple Cloud Palace above the Primordial World.

The Dao Ancestor and the gray-robed old Daoist priest sat beside the Creation Jade Disc. Their expressions were solemn as they observed the situation in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

They were not worried about how the script could be maintained. Instead, they were worried about the direction of today’s matter.

The gray-robed old Daoist priest said in a low voice, “Why is there a variable that you and I can’t control?”

“Youqin Xuanya and Li Changshou are too close. It’s inevitable that she will be affected.” There was a hint of coldness in the Dao Ancestor’s eyes. “Let’s wait for this matter. Control her soul. Don’t let her cause trouble again.”

“The key now is the variable.”

The gray-robed old Daoist priest said firmly, “According to the path that you and I have set, Sun Wukong should have rebelled after the Immortal Peach Banquet. Today, the immortals and gods had already set up this matter. If they do not destroy the demons of Huaguo Mountain later, it would probably be difficult to end it. In that case, the entire situation is no longer in my control.”

“It won’t affect too much,” the Dao Ancestor said. “This variable is only caused by the uncertainty of the human heart. Find the right time and arrange for Youqin Xuanya to lead the troops to conquer Huaguo Mountain. Let this variable be used by you and me.”

The gray-robed old Daoist priest asked in a low voice, “When Li Changshou escaped from the world, I had already sealed the Heavenly Dao. There should not have been any changes. Now that such a variable has appeared, if I have not deduced enough about the Great Dao, it would be... A failed escape.”

The Dao Ancestor was silent for a while and said, “Is there any movement in the Kun Peng Mystic Realm?”

“There’s no movement. Is Li Changshou really there... the paper effigy technique?”

“He should not have comprehended the Dao hidden by the paper effigy. Otherwise, the Creation Jade Disc would have reacted.”

The Dao Ancestor’s eyes flickered. He said, “Search the Kun Peng Mystic Realm again. I will comprehend the Creation Jade Disc again. Youqin Xuanya will deal with it according to the method we discussed just now.”

“Okay.”

The gray-robed old Daoist priest agreed and his figure gradually faded.

In the Lingxiao Hall, the immortals discussed and could not come up with a perfect plan.

The method with the least negative effects was actually to announce to the Three Realms that Sun Wukong was a Connate Spirit Embryo and not a demon. He was greatly related to Goddess Nuwa. The Heavenly Courts had given Sun Wukong a false reputation on account of Goddess Nuwa.

That could somewhat explain it.

Later, he would quickly destroy the demons gathered in Huaguo Mountain. He would launch a wave of extermination in the Three Realms and let Sun Wukong draw a line with the demons.

Most of the immortals thought that it would work.

There were also immortals and gods who suggested that they invite the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal to discuss together. However, they were rejected by the impostor Taibai Jinxing with the excuse that the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal could not enter the Lingxiao Hall.

General Dongmu sighed and said, “In that case, the Heavenly Courts have failed the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.”

The immortals were silent. However, the Jade Emperor said, “We can let the demons of Huaguo Mountain live.”

That way, he could take care of Sun Wukong’s feelings.

Although Sun Wukong was still drinking in the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal’s residence, he did not know what had happened to him.

Just as the immortals thought that the matter had ended and that they could let Li Jing settle the funeral matters, the fake Taibai Jinxing spoke again.

The old courtesan smiled and said, “Marshal Li Jing, today, it was because of Marshal Youqin’s advice that there was such an expedition. Should we give half of the credit to Marshal Youqin? Your Majesty, for example, let Marshal Youqin lead the troops together. That way, they can be rewarded after the battle.”

At that moment, the Jade Emperor, General Dongmu, and a few immortals of Jie School, who were at the Dao Realm, frowned.

Beside the spiritual mountain and the lotus pond, Li Changshou and Duobao’s expressions were rarely synchronized. They frowned.

However, Li Changshou quickly sneered and said, “I’m afraid Marshal Youqin is in trouble.”

“That’s strange.” Buddha Duobao was puzzled. “Youqin is just a little Golden Immortal. Why is she being targeted by the Heavenly Dao? She was the one who admonished today. If she is also the one who led the troops to Huaguo Mountain, wouldn’t Sun Wukong hate her if the ordinary monkeys of Huaguo Mountain died? That’s not all.”

Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart, but he instantly understood why the Dao Ancestor was targeting Youqin.

Variables.

Under his influence, the calamity of Journey to the West had changed under Youqin’s intervention.

If the Dao Ancestor was more cautious, he might start to monitor the Three Thousand Great Dao.

After all, the Dao Ancestor had put in a lot of effort to let him, who had escaped, leave the world. The Heavenly Dao had reached a temporary “perfection” and frozen that “perfection” state.

An instant was eternal.

Forget it, it’s not a big deal.

Li Changshou observed the situation in the Lingxiao Hall and was prepared to appear and rush to the Lingxiao Hall to protect Youqin. He would also take the opportunity to lay his cards on the Heavenly Dao.

However, before he could make up his mind, a few streams of light flew over from outside the Lingxiao Hall. They revealed their true forms at the door and walked towards the hall.

The first person was dressed in a robe and had a long beard. Golden light scattered around him, and he was filled with luck.

He was naturally the Perfected Lord of the Dragon Tiger Mystic Altar, the God of Fortune, Zhao Gongming.

As soon as Zhao Gongming appeared, he bowed slightly and cupped his fists. He smiled often, but he was dignified.

Behind him were the four main gods of treasure collection, treasure keeping, wealth collection, and wealth management.

The immortals and gods bowed together. The Jade Emperor smiled.

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty!”

“Yes.” The Jade Emperor raised his hand and gestured for Zhao Gongming to waive the ceremony. He said warmly, “The God of Fortune is not taking care of the Doumu Hall. He was alarmed by something.”

“Your Majesty, I’m here to ask you for a Marshal.” Zhao Gongming sighed and said, “Now that my children are not obedient in their mother’s womb, I wonder if I can invite an upright and powerful general to shock them.”

The generals immediately puffed out their chests and raised their heads.

Zhao Gongming smiled and said, “It’s best if you want a female general. After all, there are female immortals at home. It’s not appropriate for a male immortal.”

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “Then, how about Marshal Youqin?”

“That’s great. That’s great.” Zhao Gongming turned around and looked at Youqin Xuanya. He smiled and said, “She shall do it.”

Youqin Xuanya frowned slightly and hurriedly said, “God of Fortune, I still have to go to the lower realm to suppress...”

“Hey, Marshal Youqin, look at what’s under your feet?”

Youqin Xuanya subconsciously lowered her head when Zhao Gongming suddenly spoke. She saw a few metal ingots lying under her feet. With that delay, streams of light flickered around her. A ten-feet-long metal ingot appeared out of thin air and sealed Youqin Xuanya inside.

“This is the reward for Marshal Youqin!”

Zhao Gongming chuckled and said. Then, he cupped his hands at the Jade Emperor and the fake Taibai Bai. He made the four generals, who were in charge of collecting treasures, treasures, and wealth, fly out of the Lingxiao Hall with the metal ingots.

“Your Majesty, you’re busy with work. I’ll go back and protect the three of them.”

The Jade Emperor said, “If you need anything, go to the Jade Pool to find it. Go quickly.”

“Heh, heh.”

Zhao Gongming smiled shamelessly and quickly left the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

The fake Taibai Jinxing did not speak from the beginning to the end. The Jade Emperor took the opportunity to order Li Jing to lead the legitimate gods of the Fighting Department to destroy the demons of Huaguo Mountain and let Sun Wukong’s monkeys go.

Li Jing accepted the order and rushed to the East Heavenly Gate.

Over there, the army was already on standby.

In the Netherworld, under the Reincarnation Pagoda in the ruins of the Blood Sea.

Wisps of gray aura surrounded him and condensed into the Dao Ancestor’s burly figure.

He frowned and looked at Ksitigarbha in the Reincarnation Pagoda. He waved his hand at the bottom of the Reincarnation Pagoda and shattered the huge Spirit Core silently.

However, even if the Heavenly Fiend Supremacy’s spiritual core shattered, the Great Dao was still left in the Primordial World. It had become the rules of the Primordial World. That was something that the Heavenly Dao could not erase.

Li Changshou...

The Dao Ancestor’s nose trembled slightly. Clearly, he was really angry.

After all, the feeling of being played was not good.

Waves of Heavenly Dao power swept across the world. The Void Bodhi, who was sitting beside the lotus pond, frowned slightly and sighed.

Indeed...

He could only do one thing next. He only had one chance.

The Kun Peng Ark was still far from the Primordial World. He had to calm down.

As long as the Kun Peng Ark approached the border of the Heavenly Dao, the initiative would still be in his hands.
