Chapter 482: At This Time, We Add a Little More Detail

Di Zang is also a good immortal deity, isn't he?

On the way back from Lun Hui Ta on their clouds, Li Changshou and Xuan Du Da Fa Shi exchanged glances and each showed a slight smile.

Things had progressed quite smoothly. Di Zang had gone all out, with Da Fa Shi and Tai Ji Tu providing protection, and Li Changshou had fulfilled his task for Hou Tu Niang Niang by transforming the Seven Emotions Incarnations into the "Spirit of Reincarnation."

Of course, it was mainly because Hou Tu Niang Niang had prepared most of it in advance, and the Seven Emotions Incarnations were stable and balanced with one another...

At that moment, in Li Changshou's palm, a thumb-sized spark of spiritual light flickered gently, enveloped by the yin and yang energies from Tai Ji Tu, keeping it safe.

This was the initial form of a soul when it leaves the Six Paths of Reincarnation and enters a mortal womb.

The two brothers chatted and laughed as they left the You Ming Realm, both taking Hou Tu's request quite seriously but not treating it as a difficult matter.

Li Changshou had originally planned to bring Ling Zhu Zi along to Sheng Mu Gong to let him see the world.

However, when his immortal sense swept over Feng Du Cheng, he saw that Ling Zhu Zi was deeply engaged in a fierce sparring session with Niu Tou and Ma Mian near the Trial Hall, wielding blades and spears, so he decided not to interrupt.

Watching Ling Zhu Zi today, with that... that kind of bright, confident, and free-spirited smile on his lips, Li Changshou felt a wave of contentment in his heart.

This was just the first formal treatment session, and it already had such an effect!

The subsequent arrangements could be simplified; it might be better to let Ling Zhu Zi stay with the Wu Clan for a while longer.

What a shame about that plan to ignite the small flame in Ling Zhu Zi's heart...

It wasn't needed anymore.

Incidentally, Li Changshou discovered that because Ling Zhu Zi was born from a spiritual pearl, his physical body was much stronger than that of ordinary immortals and gods, making it quite compatible with the Wu Clan's combat methods. At that moment, he had already learned many Wu Clan battle techniques.

He was particularly skilled in the Da Wei Tian Long battle method.

Although Ling Zhu Zi's primordial spirit cultivation was only at the Tian Xian realm, his overall combat strength was already quite impressive.

It was on par with the power of one season.

Li Changshou hadn't forgotten his earlier promise to Yuan Shi Tian Zun, so he planned to visit Yu Xu Gong soon... and he could use Ling Zhu Zi as an excuse to take him along for a visit.

In that case, should he also pay a visit to Bi You Gong?

Come to think of it, Tong Tian Jiao Zhu had mentioned giving him a treasure. Why hadn't there been any follow-up?

Was he still in the Chaos Sea, beating up Zhun Ti?

"What are you thinking about?"

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi chuckled. "You look quite troubled. If you have something on your mind, discuss it with your brother here.

Though I might not have any useful advice to give."

"It's nothing, just recalling various events from before," Li Changshou sighed. "Di Zang is indeed someone worth befriending."

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi shook his head and sighed. "Compared to you, he's still a bit naive."

"Senior brother, you can't say that," Li Changshou said. "If I were in Di Zang's position, I might not do any better.

After all, I've benefited from the great momentum of the Dao Sect.

Without that, the outcome of a contest with Di Zang would be hard to predict."

"As long as you think that way, I feel more at ease. Don't become arrogant or complacent—everything is under the gaze of the Heavenly Dao."

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi casually tore open the void. "Let's go to Sheng Mu Gong. I'll drop you off and then head back to Xuan Du Cheng."

"Don't rush, senior brother," Li Changshou said seriously. "As the saying goes, see a fellow immortal all the way through. Why don't we settle the Seven Emotions Incarnations together?"

"Very well," Xuan Du Da Fa Shi nodded with a smile. "If the teacher blames me, you'll have to put in a good word for me."

Li Changshou agreed and stepped into the rift in the universe, enveloped by Tai Ji Tu, instantly traveling countless miles.

He really wanted to ask something like, "Does the teacher only exchange a word with you every three years on average?"

But considering the supreme treasures, he wasn't sure who might go tattle to the teacher, saying that the senior and junior disciples were gossiping behind his back about the saint being uncommunicative. That would be quite unpleasant.

At the top of Lun Hui Ta,

Di Zang stood quietly there, gazing in the direction where Li Changshou and Xuan Du Da Fa Shi had left on their cloud, his eyes filled with a touch of emotion.

"If we disregard our respective positions, the Water God is also someone worth befriending."

"Snort! Pfft! Ha ha!"

The big green-furred dog rolled over, kicked its four legs hard a few times, and suppressed its laughter.

Di Zang snorted, looking as if he didn't want to bother with it, and stood there quietly for a while, his eyes full of serenity.

Buzz—

A faint buzzing sound pierced through the depths of the Blood Sea and landed in the ruins of that great city.

A flash of blood light revealed the enchanting figure of Wen Jing Dao Ren, her blood-red gauze robe adding an even more seductive allure.

She didn't rush to the abandoned grand hall where powerful auras were concentrated but stood quietly there, looking down at the city filled with damaged great arrays.

'How on earth did the Water God adult manage it?

He passed through this checkpoint without a sound, leaving no trace at all.

This is exactly what a superior should be like for this queen!'

Such thoughts couldn't help but arise in Wen Jing Dao Ren's heart.

With a light step of her lotus feet and a gentle sway of her slender waist, she flashed with blood light and arrived in front of the abandoned grand hall, her face full of cold indifference.

In the hall, dozens of figures, either sitting or lying, stood up and stared at Wen Jing Dao Ren with unfriendly expressions.

Before Wen Jing Dao Ren could speak, a cold snort came from inside the hall:

"Where is the destiny that Western Cult promised us?

Where is Lun Hui Ta? Why has Lun Hui Ta been incorporated into the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

Wen Jing Dao Ren's mouth twitched slightly. "Go ask the two saint lords yourselves. Do you really think you can question me here and get away with it? Do you believe I can't destroy you?"

The Asura expert who spoke immediately fell silent and sat there quietly.

Another Asura expert asked, "Wen Jing, what is Western Cult's response?"

Wen Jing Dao Ren said indifferently, "This matter with Lun Hui Ta was caused by the Dao Sect's intervention and that Water God's meddling.

You should have sensed it that day—two Dao Sect saints came, putting us in a very passive position.

But don't worry, everyone.

Now that the great saint lord's disciple, Di Zang, has become the master of Lun Hui Ta, with this destiny supporting it, Western Cult is not far from its great prosperity.

At that time, we won't shortchange you. The status and reputation owed to the Asura Clan will be fully delivered."

The Asura experts in the hall fell silent.

An old woman asked in a low voice, "What about that matter?"

What matter?

Wen Jing Dao Ren remained expressionless and said coldly, "Don't ask for too much. Now that the Blood Sea won't be easily invaded, isn't it good for you Asura Clan to live quietly and multiply?"

The old woman said excitedly, "The second cult leader of Western Cult promised us personally! If not for that, why would we work for Western Cult!"

Wen Jing Dao Ren replied, "I don't know what the two cult leaders promised you, but you'd better know your place. In today's world, your places to hide are few and far between."

"You!"

"Queen Blood Mosquito probably doesn't know," an elderly voice came from the corner, "we want to retrieve a treasure that the second cult leader of Western Cult secretly took back then.

For this, we sacrificed one of our lords and even tolerated the old ancestor's sword remaining on Ling Shan."

"Oh?"

Wen Jing Dao Ren said calmly, "What kind of treasure?"

"The last seed of the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus."

Wen Jing Dao Ren chuckled lightly. "So you're trying to resurrect the old ancestor. No wonder... I'll report this matter truthfully to the deputy cult leader when I return.

However, don't hold out too much hope. I don't have much say in Western Cult nowadays.

The deputy cult leader sent me here to appease you, so take these."

With that, Wen Jing Dao Ren casually threw out a few storage treasures, flicked her sleeve, and turned into a streak of blood light, disappearing and leaving the group of Asura experts huffing and puffing.

This trip was worthwhile! Truly worthwhile!

She had gotten another piece of news to report to the Water God adult!

Wen Jing Dao Ren hadn't even left the You Ming Realm when a blood mosquito flew to the Sea God Temple in An Shui Cheng, waiting on the beam in the corner of the back hall. Soon, she saw Li Changshou's paper effigy.

Li Changshou frowned and asked if she had an urgent matter.

Wen Jing Dao Ren said it wasn't urgent, just some important intelligence, and truthfully told him about the last seed of the Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus.

Li Changshou: ...

Is that it? A Tai Yi limited edition.

He was in the middle of chatting with the Holy Mother and about to be pulled into the "time stop" divine ability, but he had to send a message asking the Holy Mother to wait and divert his attention here!

Of course, he couldn't show any impatience.

Wen Jing Dao Ren was tied to a major Dao Sect scheme, so he had to balance kindness and authority to keep her firmly on the Human Teachings side.

Li Changshou explained unhurriedly, "I heard about this from my senior brother earlier. The Asura Clan cultivates through killing, so their destiny doesn't flourish, and they can't achieve great things.

Ming He Lao Zu was destroyed by the Heavenly Dao's Zi Xiao Divine Thunder, so even a saint would have to think twice about helping him resurrect.

You don't need to make a special trip for this. Stay cautious and focus on concealing yourself."

The blood mosquito asked softly, "My lord, how long do I need to stay hidden? And what exactly should I do?"

Li Changshou smiled faintly and said calmly, "When the time comes, you'll know. I won't treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, my lord," Wen Jing Dao Ren responded, though she felt a bit uneasy inside.

She had seen the Water God's schemes too many times—each one incredibly thorough and far-reaching.

She was already a part of one of his schemes; she was aware of that much.

But what exactly the Water God was plotting, Wen Jing Dao Ren had no idea. It couldn't be something as simple as having her bite a Western Cult saint, could it? She certainly couldn't pierce their skin.

Li Changshou suddenly laughed. "Since you're here, stay in this place as a blood mosquito.

Xuan Du senior brother just returned to this realm yesterday. Do you want to see him?"

The blood mosquito instantly transformed into a faint shadow, looking at Li Changshou with full expectation. Her originally enchanting face flushed with excitement, adding a touch of feminine shyness.

"Find a living creature to possess here, but remember, not a human. I'll invite senior brother over after we finish our business."

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you so much!"

The shadow bowed repeatedly in gratitude, couldn't help covering her mouth with her hand, and said coyly,

"This is happening so suddenly; I'm a bit shy now."

"Remember to keep your tears of emotion inside—don't let them spill out!"

"Yes, this servant obeys."

Li Changshou: Truly disgusting.

This paper effigy returned to the underground paper effigy repository, and Li Changshou kept a close eye on Wen Jing, seeing her possess a small calico cat before he relaxed and shifted his focus back to his main body.

In Sheng Mu Gong, inside the Holy Mother Hall,

Li Changshou opened his eyes and looked ahead, where several beautiful immortal maidens were performing a sword dance.

Beside him, Da Fa Shi was watching with great interest, casually picking up some rare immortal fruits and popping them into his mouth.

'Everything okay?'

Such a greeting arose in Li Changshou's heart.

He nodded and looked up at the high platform's throne, where the statue sat, and below it, the Human Race's Holy Mother was quietly seated.

Holy light bathed her golden skirt, her dignified and majestic presence as a saint making one afraid to look directly.

With a soft drip, light and shadow swirled before Li Changshou's eyes, turning the world pale, and he was drawn into Nü Wa's divine ability.

The familiar pavilion, familiar decor, familiar pool.

By then, the Holy Mother had stepped out of the pool, her snake tail transformed into human feet, her slightly curled long hair falling loose, and her loose robe swaying like water waves, exuding a lazy and comfortable air.

She set down the sketchbook in her hand, covered her mouth with a yawn, pulled out a low table, took out a bit of seven-colored clay, and asked,

"Has Hou Tu Dao friend mentioned what kind of appearance she wants for the body?"

Li Changshou quickly asked, "Holy Mother, can this... be customized?"

"Of course," Nü Wa said calmly as she sat down cross-legged. "Although I achieved sainthood through merit, after so many years of comprehending the Dao of Creation, I've gained some fruits from it.

For Hou Tu Dao friend's sake, I won't be stingy."

"It's like this," Li Changshou sat cross-legged by the low table and explained in detail the special nature of the Seven Emotions Incarnations.

Nü Wa rested her chin in her hand and pondered for a while, a strand of hair slipping from her ear, creating a beautiful scene that stirred no improper thoughts.

"In other words, this body needs to accommodate seven souls..."

Nü Wa murmured, then slowly began to mold with her slender fingers, quickly shaping a simple clay figure—a female one in a long skirt.

Given her technique and speed, and the artistry of the final product...

This was the craftsmanship of the ancient Hong Huang era.

Nü Wa said, "How about this?"

Li Changshou widened his eyes at the simple clay figure, which had a nose and eyes, but it was just a clay figure.

Asking him to evaluate it directly... felt a bit abrupt.

"Holy Mother, I'm not versed in this, but I think it's quite harmonious."

Nü Wa chuckled lightly. "Wait a moment; I'll add some details for her."

With that, she blew a breath of immortal energy onto the clay figure, which turned into multicolored light and condensed into a graceful figure nearby.

Her skin was like polished jade, her black hair like a waterfall, her figure slender and delicate, her face clear and elegant, and her robe exquisitely tailored, enhancing her charm even more.

Truly, just a bit of detail.

Then, Nü Wa gently waved her hand, and the figure slowly shrank—from the bloom of youth at twenty to the freshness of sixteen, then to the budding age of thirteen, and finally to a child, before turning into a fist-sized ball of seven-colored light...

This divine act of creation truly amazed Li Changshou, leaving him in awe for a long time.

The means of a saint were extraordinary.

"Here," Nü Wa guided the light ball over and placed it in Li Changshou's hand. "This is the innate placenta. Place it in front of a woman's body to make her conceive.

Of course, a man can do it too.

But you'd need to suppress the masculine energy in the man and infuse more yin energy to stabilize the pregnancy.

Remember, place the placenta first, then the Seven Emotions souls, and it can be born like a mortal."

Li Changshou's eyes lit up. "In that case, we don't need to go to the secular world?"

Nü Wa laughed. "In this era, mortals still have decent destiny. It's up to you how you choose."

"Thank you for your creation, Holy Mother!"

Li Changshou stood and bowed in salute, took out a jade box to separately store the innate placenta and the Seven Emotions souls, and asked a few more details.

Nü Wa was quite approachable and answered each of Li Changshou's questions thoroughly.

Then, Li Changshou asked,

"Holy Mother, you mentioned the number five hundred last time. When do you need me to come and paint for you?"

"No rush; you handle the great tribulation first," Nü Wa said with a light laugh. "Once things calm down and there's no trouble outside, come to Sheng Mu Gong and stay for five hundred years."

Li Changshou's foot slipped, nearly kneeling.

Stay in Sheng Mu Gong for five hundred years? That meant five hundred years outside, plus the time stop divine ability...

When Li Changshou left Sheng Mu Gong, his legs felt a bit weak, drawing a tsk of surprise from Xuan Du Da Fa Shi.

The two brothers proceeded as planned to the Shang tribe.

The matter of the Seven Emotions' birth went smoothly.

Kong Xuan didn't avoid Xuan Du Da Fa Shi and personally selected a strong and healthy woman as the mother for the reincarnated body.

Li Changshou gave the woman generous rewards, extending her lifespan by twenty years and providing her with plenty of pills.

—Because Hou Tu Niang Niang's seniority was too high, and the Seven Emotions retained their original memories, the newborn girl couldn't call this woman her mother, which made Li Changshou feel somewhat guilty.

So, he casually added a bit of good fortune and destiny to this kind-hearted woman, ensuring her next few lives would be blessed.

It was a small compensation, though he felt it wasn't enough.

After settling the woman, Li Changshou left two standard paper effigy legions hidden underground, with the Heavenly Dao's power also covering her.

Clearly, the Heavenly Dao was giving some face to Hou Tu Niang Niang.

When Xuan Du Da Fa Shi expressed his intention to leave, Li Changshou said that since the brothers hadn't seen each other in years and his main body would be in seclusion soon, they should have a drink before parting.

Da Fa Shi was more than happy to oblige; as long as Li Changshou had enough reasons to keep him, he wouldn't mind not going back.

But when Xuan Du Da Fa Shi tore open the universe and returned directly to the back courtyard of the Sea God Temple in An Shui Cheng via Tai Ji Tu, Kong Xuan unexpectedly stepped forward and said,

"May I come along?"

Come along?

Li Changshou couldn't help but frown; over there was another would-be sister-in-law... ahem, on the way.

Da Fa Shi said warmly, "Come with us. Changgeng has excellent cooking skills."

With that, he walked through the rift without looking back. Kong Xuan seemed to relax a bit and stepped in, vanishing in a flash.

Li Changshou: ...

"How about we fly on clouds instead?"

As the rift in the universe was about to close, Li Changshou shouted midway but had no choice except to step through quickly.

After walking just over ten steps, they emerged from another rift, arriving in the back courtyard of the Sea God Temple.

"Meow?"

In front of the back hall, the well-behaved little calico cat tilted its head slightly.
