Is this a huge matter?
In the Dream Realm, Ao Yi closed his mouth and looked at the beautiful figure beside the statue with the surrounding shadows.
The so-called Dream Realm was the latest “human interaction” Dharma treasure that the Master of the Dao Court had researched in the past few hundred years. Actually, the principle was that when Ao Yi and Li Changshou were placed in the Sea God Temple, they would often hook up, ahem, communicate with each other.
By placing everyone’s tokens in the Heavenly Courts and connecting them with merit, he would have a convenient and fast method of communication.
At the same time, the big shots who could enter the Dream World were considered the true leaders of the Primordial World. Ao Yi’s position was closer to the back, and there were many mighty immortals in front of him.
He had just transformed into his dragon form and had yet to fly out of the border of the five continents when he sensed the “invitation” to enter the dream. This was the scene he saw after entering.
The mighty figures gathered.
The beautiful figure at the foot of the statue still maintained the innocence that many young girls had. Although her beautiful hair had been tied up into a bun and she had changed into a dignified and beautiful long-sleeved dress instead of the short chiffon dress that she had favored previously, she only appeared and stood still, causing people to subconsciously assume that her image was that of “Little Junior Sister”.
It was Li-Lan Ling’e.
In front of Ling’e, the Jade Emperor, the God of Fortune, and the calm Great Daoist Master Xuan Du frowned and pondered. Their expressions turned more solemn.
“Ling’e...”
The Jade Emperor wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Really?”
Master Zhao’s voice trembled.
“Where is Junior Sister Yun Xiao?”
That was the Great Daoist Master’s words.
Ling’e sighed softly. She frowned slightly and looked worried.
“Sister has already gone to look for him. She left me here to keep in contact with everyone.”
She pursed her thin lips and seemed to want to persuade everyone not to be too nervous. However, Lu Yue could not help but say, “Everyone, is there a need to be so nervous about such a trivial matter?”
Zhao Gongming turned around and glared at Lu Yue. “Junior Brother, did you hear clearly what Ling’e said?”
Lu Yue subconsciously cringed and muttered softly, “Didn’t Junior Brother Changshou just go out? He’s a living person. He might be thinking about something and decided to go out for a stroll...”
The more Lu Yue spoke, the less confident he became.
The immortals who thought that this matter was a little shocking realized the seriousness of the problem.

Will that man ever ponder in silence?
The world already knew the path of the Lord of the Court of Dao’s growth. In summary, if he had not been directly or indirectly forced by the Dao Ancestor to go out and work, that person would not have left his Little Qiong Peak.
In fact, he would even find a vase and a book when he gets bored or turn himself into the size of a speck of dust and live peacefully inside!
Strictly speaking, it was only when he took the initiative to go to the Purple Cloud Palace and get rid of the Dao Ancestor...
The atmosphere of the Dream World gradually froze.
The Jade Emperor said, “I’ll guard the Heavenly Courts.”
“Your Majesty, don’t panic. Don’t panic.” Zhao Gongming hurriedly pulled the Jade Emperor back and frowned at Ling’e. “Didn’t he tell you anything?”
Ling’e shook her head gently and said,
“Ever since Senior Brother married me and Sister, he has been staying with us for a period of time.
The last time Senior Brother appeared was four months ago. He had reunited with me and my sister for three years before returning to the Dao Court to enter seclusion.
Logically speaking, it’s the holidays again. We waited for a long time and went to take a look. However, we did not find any traces of Senior Brother.
Sister used her mystical abilities to search. I also used the Dharma treasure that Senior Brother gave me to investigate his whereabouts. There was no result.”
“Has he... transformed into the Dao?”
That mutter sounded from the corner. Sharp gazes were shot at him instantly. It was the disciple of Jie School who had been specially approved by Li Changshou.
Shen Bao, who had a mustache, had never experienced such a situation. The gazes of the mighty figures made him shiver.
However, the immortals thought of something and smiled kindly. They gradually retracted their gazes.
Ling’e heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to Shen Bao.
“With your words, Daoist priest, we indeed don’t have to worry too much about Senior Brother’s safety. However, Senior Brother does not have a Great Dao on him now... By the way, can you ask the Jade Emperor to check if there are any abnormalities with the 36 God-Calming Treasures?”
“Okay.”
The Jade Emperor agreed. His body was about to turn into clouds in an instant, but in the blink of an eye, he condensed again.
“There are no traces of the Taiji Painting and the East Imperial Bell. The other divine treasures are operating as usual.”
The Great Daoist Master said in a low voice, “He did not use the Pangu Banner. He only used a defensive treasure. What happened? Can’t he tell us?”
“That doesn’t make sense,” Zhao Gongming said in a low voice. “What in the world can make Changshou take risks behind our backs? That’s even more impossible. If it’s really dangerous, the Court of Dao and the thirty-six divine treasures will definitely be brought over. He wouldn’t take risks. He suddenly sneaked out without informing Ling’e and Yun Xiao. This...”
Zhao Gongming suddenly thought of something. The Jade Emperor beside him looked over with a strange expression.
In an instant, the Jade Emperor and Zhao Gongming reached a consensus.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du, who was at the side, forcefully looked over and... reached a consensus with them.
“Ling’e.” Master Zhao coughed. “You know your senior brother. If he’s the most stable, no one would dare to say that he’s the best. He should have some trivial matters to deal with. He can’t be so casual if it was a major matter. You don’t have to worry too much. Tell Yun Xiao to come back and wait for news at home.”
“That’s right.” The Jade Emperor smiled and said, “I suddenly recalled that Changshou had previously said that he wanted to visit the Three Realms and investigate the specific living conditions of living beings who can’t cultivate now. I believe that he went to do that this time. In the end, he lost track of time and didn’t realize that he has been working for longer than he should.”
The Great Daoist Master pulled a long face. “I must persuade Changshou later. Alright, it’s fine. Everyone, disperse.”
Ling’e and the immortals tilted their heads in confusion. However, the Great Daoist Master had already spoken. The immortals did not dare to stay for long. Their bodies turned into clouds and collapsed, leaving the Dream Realm.
The Jade Emperor and Zhao Gongming looked at each other and then looked at the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du with ambiguous gazes.
A certain Great Daoist Master calmly looked up at the sky and continued to be calm.
When Ling’e’s figure disappeared, the Jade Emperor and Zhao Gongming deliberately stayed for a while and shouted at the Great Daoist Master who was about to leave.
“Senior Brother,” Zhao Gongming asked softly, “Do you understand what His Majesty and I mean? Sister-in-law Kong Xuan doesn’t seem to have a strong personality...”
The Great Daoist Master looked to the side and muttered, “I don’t even get to sleep.”
Then, his figure slowly dissipated, leaving behind a lingering sigh.
The God of Fortune and the Jade Emperor looked at each other and remained silent.
“Your Majesty, where do you think Changshou has gone?”
“I don’t know either.” The Jade Emperor pondered for a while. “However, I can be sure that he should be outside the Three Realms and not enter this world.”
Zhao Gongming asked curiously, “Is there anything in the outer world that can make people relax?”
“He probably just went out to take a breather.”
“I think so.” Zhao Gongming shook his head slowly. “Someone as meticulous as Changshou should have judged that he could return on time. Otherwise, he would not have left a letter. If not for entering the depths of the Chaos Sea, I probably would not have missed the time.”
The Jade Emperor nodded slowly. The two figures disappeared.
After they left, a figure appeared behind the statue. She was dressed in a light blue dress and had a delicate and elegant figure. It was Fairy Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao pondered for a while. When streams of light rose beside her, Ling’e appeared again. The two of them muttered again.
“Sister, did you find out anything?”
Yun Xiao shook her head gently and said softly, “No, don’t worry too much. Just wait a few more days.”
After saying that, Yun Xiao said, “Although he’s our husband, he can’t guard us all day. He should have something important to do. We’ll explain when he returns.”
“I’m just worried about him.” Ling’e’s eyes were filled with worry. “The Great Dao is gone. He only has a Golden Core. He doesn’t even want to bring more treasures when he goes out. At the very least, he should bring the Court of Dao along. Senior Brother has changed. He’s too unstable!”
Yun Xiao was speechless.
This family is really difficult to keep together.
...
“How long has it been?”
In a misty world, the gray-robed young man sitting in the middle of the world asked.
With a bell ringing, wisps of white streams of light appeared around the world. They were like the barriers of the world, putting limited shackles on the seemingly endless world.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was the bell wall of the East Imperial Bell.
“Ah!”
With a soft cry, a figure turned around and appeared in front of Li Changshou. Although her figure was a little faint, she had a unique type of beauty.
It was Sister Zhong.
She stuck out her tongue. “It seems that four months have passed in Xuandu City. The difference in the flow of time is too huge. I can’t react for a while.”
“Don’t act cute at your age.” Li Changshou shook his head and said. Sister Zhong kept rolling her eyes and looked down.
He made a hand gesture and two wisps of Yin-Yang Dao runes borrowed from the Taiji Painting scattered. The clouds below melted on their own, revealing a painting that looked like the eighteen levels of hell.
Boundless black gas floated on the ground that was covered in ashes. Beast shadows crawled and breathed in the black gas, but it was impossible to calculate their number.
And that was only the first level.
From the first level down, the ashes turned into dancing flames and mysterious ice. Purple-red lightning flickered everywhere. If one saw a shadow in the endless “plain”, it might be a bone mountain or a pool of blood.
This was the Nine Polluted Spring, the real Nine Polluted Spring.
Back then, when Hong Jun was playing chess with him, Li Changshou had used the Nine Polluted Springs to threaten him and used the “replacement” method to move the Nine Polluted Springs into the depths of the Chaos Sea.
Due to the fact that the power of merit corresponding to the Nine Polluted Springs had already merged with the Primordial World, it would become a hidden danger in the Primordial World after a long time even though it was slightly far from the Primordial World.
Li Changshou naturally took the initiative to attack it.
He even used it to manifest the power of the Nine Polluted Spring and condense it into such an evil country.
Li Changshou sensed carefully and nodded in satisfaction.
Sister Zhong hugged her arms and asked in confusion, “Why are you doing these things? The Heavenly Courts will be gone after a crusade.”
“They’re just catalysts.” Li Changshou shook his head slightly and smiled. “You gave this place some time. This place is formed from the Chaos. When it has a complete Great Dao structure, it can be maintained in the Chaos Sea for a period of time under the effect of these living beings. I have already included them in the Primordial World. The Taiji Painting has also opened the initial path. This path will be hidden in the periphery of the Primordial World. That way, it can become an extension of the Primordial World.”
Sister Zhong blinked. “Have you really decided? If you do that, you will probably be cursed.”
“Everything has Yin and Yang. It’s the same for the Primordial World,” Li Changshou said. “Most of the time, an individual’s meaning is the same as a group because an individual is a group. However, an infinitely expanding group would eventually collapse. Moreover, have you forgotten how we found this place?”
“Follow the evil desires of living beings...”
“That’s right. Although this place is far from the Primordial World, it has always been gathering the evil desires of living beings. If this place loses control, the Primordial World will inevitably be devoured.”
Li Changshou looked at the black shadows below.
“I’ll let the Heavenly Courts know that there are still enemies. I’ll let the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals maintain sufficient motivation. I’ll also give living beings who are unwilling to be lonely a place to make contributions. Although sacrifices are inevitable, I imprisoned the souls of the evil incarnations. On this matter, it’s better to deal with painful things quickly. In general, the sacrifice would be much smaller. I have to control the power of this place to a stable level.”
Sister Zhong nodded slowly.
The Yin-Yang Twin Fish appeared in Li Changshou’s palm. He seemed to have thought of something and held it in his palm.
Be steady.
“Let me ask Teacher and discuss with the Jade Emperor before making a decision.”
Hence, thirty years later.
A small group of Chaos Black Beasts began to appear at the edge of the Primordial World.
In the beginning, no one was interested in the news. No Qi Refinement cultivators treated it as a disaster.
Later on, the shadows of the black beasts began to appear in the Minor Chiliocosm at the edge... No Qi Refinement cultivators thought that it was a big deal. After all, there were all kinds of strange things in the Chaos Sea.
That was until at the immortal banquet in Kunlun Mountain, an old and experienced bigmouth, ahem, an old immortal blurted out an ancient secret after drinking...
“There are black crystals in the black beast’s body. They can be refined into superior-grade immortal treasures and can also increase the effect of forming pills.”
Streams of light flew towards the sky. The Qi Refinement cultivators were filled with enthusiasm as they protected the world where they lived. Before the first batch of black beasts arrived in the Primordial World, they had already entered the observation garden.
