My Senior Brother is Too Steady-Chapter 750: Xuanyas Reminder

Chapter 750: Xuanya’s Reminder

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal? Sun Wukong?”

In a certain place where Heavenly Soldiers were stationed in the trichiliocosm.

Ao Yi looked at the jade token in front of him and listened to the discussions of the generals. He was puzzled.

At that moment, he still had the appearance of a young man. Although he had already grown into a young man, for some reason, Ao Yi still felt that it was more comfortable to maintain that image.

Now, Ao Yi was also one of the most powerful marshals of the Heavenly Courts outside the five continents. There were not only a large number of generals who could fight well, but also experts of the dragon race who could help at any time.

With the strength of the Dragon Palace to suppress the trichiliocosm, together with the Immortal Ascension Hall and the Immortal Alliance, the trichiliocosm would be stable.

When they heard Ao Yi muttering like that, the Heavenly Generals whispered to each other about Sun Wukong.

There were naturally Heavenly Generals who did not care about that. They said that the tiger was not at home, and the monkey was king. There were also Heavenly Generals who smelled something unusual and tried to analyze the plan.

Ao Yi said, “Don’t guess about such useless things.”

The Heavenly Generals agreed softly.

“However,” Ao Yi muttered softly. “The name of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal is really a little too big. The Heavenly Courts have always valued the title of the Deity Position. I wonder what the purpose of such a title that does not enter the Heavenly Courts’ Deity Position system is.”

The Heavenly Generals chuckled. The discussion was even more fervent than before.

“Hmph!”

A soft snort sounded from outside the tent. A wave of pressure followed. The generals stood up and cupped their fists.

A figure came out of the tent. He was dressed in armor and a black cloak behind him. He had an aquiline nose and sharp eyes. It was the Golden-Winged Roc, an expert of the phoenix race.

He entered the tent and walked back to the seat below Ao Yi. He sat there unhappily.

The generals did not dare to speak. Ao Yi asked in concern, “Marshal Golden Roc, what’s wrong?”

“Don’t mention it!”

The Golden-Winged Roc cursed, “Why does the Heavenly Courts want to confer a Demon King as the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal? The reputation of the Heavenly Courts is just a joke!”

“Marshal Golden Roc, don’t be anxious,” Ao Yi said warmly. “There must be something behind this.”

The Golden-Winged Roc’s expression softened.

It was strange. The Marshal, who was originally sitting in Ao Yi’s position, was the Golden-Winged Roc. Due to the Golden-Winged Roc’s many drunken mistakes, it expressed its dissatisfaction with the Heavenly Courts and the Heavenly Dao and was demoted by the Heavenly Courts.

Logically speaking, the Golden-Winged Roc should have a grudge against Ao Yi. The Heavenly Courts also wanted to use the Dragon Palace to suppress the Golden-Winged Roc. They even allowed Ao Yi to bring many experts from the main family into the camp.

However, he did not expect… to be so harmonious.

Not only did the Golden-Winged Roc not make things difficult for Ao Yi, but it was also quite gentle to him. It took the initiative to share Ao Yi’s burden.

It was also because of Ao Yi’s arrival that the Golden-Winged Roc calmed down a lot. It no longer caused trouble while drunk. The Hall of Enlightenment received the feedback and did not transfer the Great Roc away.

At that moment, the Golden Roc sat in the round chair. He extended his body and slowly sighed.

“The matter regarding the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal is somewhat unpleasant. However, there must be a scheme against the demons. However, I don’t know when the Heavenly Courts changed their style of doing things. They no longer shouted and killed the demons. They actually ordered peace.”

Ao Yi smiled and said, “The higher-ups have their considerations. They might be telling a story to the demons. They might be tricking the old demons hidden by the demons to gather and kill them all. Previously, when Marshal Li Jing attacked Huaguo Mountain, although the military strategies were ingenious, the idea of fishing demons was too obvious. The true experts of the demon race hid behind the scenes and did not dare to appear.The demons were probably confused by the sudden move from the Court today. As long as Sun Wukong stayed in the Heavenly Courts for a period of time, the Heavenly Courts would spread the news and open the door for the demons. Those old demons would probably be the first to rush out, afraid that the opportunity would be snatched by the juniors. The demons are indeed like that.”

The Golden Roc and the other Heavenly Generals pondered for a while and nodded.

The Golden Roc was puzzled. “How can the demons be fooled so easily?”

“This…”

Ao Yi shrugged and smiled bitterly. “Apart from explaining to the Heavenly Courts, what other reasonable explanation can there be? The Heavenly Courts’ edict of Demon King was really puzzling. Just this alone caused the hearts of people to waver and the immortals to be uneasy. It was not something that a new expert could overcome. Not to mention, it’s the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.”

The Golden Roc was speechless. He scolded jokingly, “I almost believed your words!”

Ao Yi smiled awkwardly and tapped his fingers on the table as he pondered quietly.

A general at the side whispered, “I heard that a few days ago, there were many immortals who were dissatisfied with this matter. They wanted to jointly report and remove the name of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal. However, for some reason, this matter was left unsettled.”

“I heard that he was suppressed by Taibai Jinxing.”

“To put it bluntly, this lord is dealing with the beautiful monkey king, Sun Wukong, this time. It makes me feel that there is an inexplicable relationship between them.”

“Be careful with your words.”

“Ahem!”

Ao Yi cleared his throat and said, “There have been no battles in the trichiliocosm recently. Generals, please do your jobs and monitor the restless immortal Dao factions. That’s all for today. Go back and rest.”

The generals stood up and cupped their fists at Ao Yi. They retreated. When they left, they were still mumbling about whether Taibai Jinxing and the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal had any secrets.

This was the trichiliocosm. The Heavenly Dao’s monitoring was far inferior to the five continents. The Heavenly Generals were not too worried.

Moreover, this matter was originally handled improperly by the Heavenly Courts. It was normal to be criticized.

After the generals left, the Golden-Winged Roc sighed.

“What happened?”

Ao Yi asked, “Haven’t you gained anything yet?”

“Yes.” The Golden Roc shook his head slightly. “I can’t find it. I don’t know where to find it. The shadow in my heart is still very faint.”

Ao Yi’s face was a little gloomy. He sat in the round chair and did not say a word. The young man looked a little confused.

The little dragon whispered, “Why? I can’t even remember my shadow…”

The Golden Roc encouraged him and said, “Don’t think too much. There was an expert who guided me previously. When the time comes, I will remember. I also captured the figure that appeared in my heart when I was chasing after the extreme speed previously. He had his back to me and was sitting on a rocking chair. He was playing with two jade talismans in his hand. For some reason, I feel at ease. I just want to wait for him to say something. I still have you and Her Highness Long Ji beside me.”

“Don’t say too much.” Ao Yi pointed at the top of the tent.

The Golden Roc pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows. He did not mind.

“Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal.” Ao Yi sighed and said, “I wonder what Taibai Jinxing wants to do. However, I feel that the demons are about to face a huge disaster.”

The Golden Roc smiled and said, “Why don’t I go back and weigh the weight of the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal in the Heavenly Courts? Perhaps I can even make it in time for the battle against the demons.”

“Hey,” Ao Yi hurriedly said, “It’s not appropriate for us to leave our posts. When we return to the Heavenly Courts, we need to have an order from the Hall of Enlightenment. That’s the rule. Don’t give anyone a chance to cause trouble.”

“Alright.” The Golden Roc agreed. “If there are no problems in the army, I’ll try to break through the extreme speed again. Perhaps the day I break through will be the day I recover my lost memories.”

After saying that, the Golden Roc stood up and cupped his hands at Ao Yi. He turned around and left the tent.

After the Golden Roc left, Ao Yi sat behind the desk and was stunned for a while. When the Cosmic Wave Mark appeared behind him, two dragon-headed elders appeared.

“Your Highness,” the old dragon on the left said softly, “Don’t think too much. I’m afraid the Heavenly Dao is afraid of you.”

Ao Yi nodded and agreed. He stood up and walked to the partition in the corner of the tent. He walked around it and found a soft couch. He then turned over and lay on his side. He closed his eyes and focused, but he was not in the mood to meditate.

The two dragon-headed elders who were protecting Ao Yi looked at each other and were speechless.

It had not been easy for His Highness.

…

By the lotus pond on the spiritual mountain, Li Changshou stood quietly beside the Golden Cicada and without any thoughts in mind. Occasionally, he would pinch his fingers and deduce.

It had been some time since Sun Wukong had ascended to the sky for the second time. The current situation was basically in Li Changshou’s calculations.

He had naturally received the attention of the Heavenly Courts this time. He had given him a mansion and a reward of Spirit Stones. He had also given Sun Wukong many benefits, but he had only allowed Sun Wukong to be an “in-name” immortal god who would not participate in any serious matters.

Regarding that, Sun Wukong was happy to be carefree. Every day, he walked around the Heavenly Courts and got to know many boring immortals. He also joined the luncheons organized by the big shots of the Heavenly Courts.

An example would be the Mysterious Altar Meeting organized by the God of Fortune or the small classroom of marriage that Elder Moon presided over.

The monkey ate immortal fruits and drank immortal wine every day. From time to time, he could watch some fairy dances. He was quite happy that he did not know the taste of Huaguo Mountain.

When Sun Wukong was enjoying himself, Huaguo Mountain became more and more lively.

The Heavenly Dao had gone overboard this time.

Logically speaking, Huaguo Mountain was still a problem. The Heavenly Courts had suspended sharp swords near Huaguo Mountain. The experts of the demon race could not avoid them. Why would they gather here?

However, the experts of the demon race had come. They still had some unrealistic thoughts and wondered if they could obtain the rewards of the Heavenly Courts.

He really wanted to eat peaches.

The demons had always been cunning, not to mention the cultured old demons who had escaped the pursuit of the Heavenly Courts and the Spiritual Explosion of the world.

Li Changshou seriously suspected that the Heavenly Dao had directly attacked the experts of the demon race and affected their minds. Or perhaps, it had simply controlled them to arrive near Huaguo Mountain and was prepared to be reaped in one wave.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain this situation.

Putting aside the conflict between the demons and the human race, although the demons were weak overall, they were still living beings.

If one looked at this matter from the perspective of living beings, it was just the Heavenly Dao abusing its private authority.

Of course, Li Changshou was also happy to see the old demons being dealt with. Therefore, not only did he not move, but he even delayed his plan slightly.

The Huaguo Mountain had become the holy land of the demons.

The old demon experts appeared and occupied their Cave Abodes on Huaguo Mountain.

The newcomers of the demon race gathered and revealed their abilities everywhere.

The monkeys of Huaguo Mountain had also become a special group. The various factions took good care of them because they wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal, Sun Wukong.

As a result, there were fewer demons causing trouble in the South Continent. Many demons began to restrain some useless demons to prevent them from going out to harm others lest they affected the demons’ plan.

What plan?

He just wanted to submit to the Heavenly Courts and be used by the Heavenly Courts.

The Dao Ancestor’s chess game was already stagnant. He was just making minor changes.

Just as he was sighing in his heart, Li Changshou suddenly felt a familiar aura surrounding him. He heard a chuckle beside his ear.

“Fellow Daoist, when did you come to the spiritual mountain?”

A little golden light flickered behind him and condensed into Buddha Duobao, who was wrapped in golden light.

Li Changshou did not turn around. He only stared at the pool in front of him and looked at Duobao’s reflection in the pool… the golden-silk kasaya, his curly hair, his large earlobes, and his supple appearance.

He almost laughed out loud.

Ahem, don’t think about my first encounter with Senior Brother Duobao. Don’t think about Senior Brother Duobao’s heroic bearing when he fought with the Seven Emotions incarnation.

Calm down, calm down.

Li Changshou quickly calmed down but did not answer. It was as if he did not hear Duobao.

Duobao did not think too much about that. He sat on the lotus platform and slowly walked forward. He landed beside the Void Bodhi and smiled.

“Fellow Daoist, are you here to visit the Buddha?”

The Void Bodhi looked at Duobao coldly and said, “Is Buddha talking to me?”

“Of course.” Duobao said warmly, “Fellow Daoist Bodhi, are you still blaming me for snatching the luck of your Western Sect?”

“Hmph!”

The Void Bodhi swept his sleeve. “Could it be that Buddha wants to show off his glorious achievements back then?”

“What’s there to brag about?” Duobao smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist, your cultivation seems to have improved again, but your Dao Realm seems to have been sealed.

The rewards for working for the Heavenly Dao are usually not bad, right?

I can’t be envious. Ah, I can’t be envious.”

Veins popped out on the Void Bodhi’s forehead.

Why is he influenced by Senior Brother Taiyi? The mighty Buddha is on the same level as the Dao Ancestor in name. Why is he being so sarcastic here?

Li Changshou pretended to be angry and said, “Buddha, you seem to have no choice. You were pushed to your current position and restrained in the spiritual mountain. However, I wonder how many treasures you have left?”

Duobao felt the pain and glared at the Void Bodhi in front of him.

Li Changshou’s heart skipped a beat.

According to the script that the Dao Ancestor insisted on, Duobao would definitely go to the Heavenly Courts to subdue the monkeys later. He could help a lot.

However, could the current Senior Brother Duobao be trusted?

Li Changshou had some doubts in his heart, but he could not probe. He could not connect with Duobao under the eyes of the Heavenly Dao and the Saint of Receiving.

The risks were slightly higher and the benefits were insufficient.

Li Changshou added, “Buddha, the Western Sect is no longer present now. The Buddhist Sect has also prospered. You are the Sect Master of a great sect. Why do you have to mock an immortal like me?”

Duobao smiled and recited a Buddhist proclamation.

“Be calm. There’s no need to talk about our past encounters. We share the same fate. Bodhi, do you still remember the Heavenly Dao’s taboo?”

Li Changshou was silent for a while before replying, “I remember.”

“With your Dao realm, it’s normal for you to remember.” Duobao sighed and said, “I really miss those days where he was in the world. Now, it’s just boring. I wonder how he and my Junior Sister Yun Xiao are doing. I really benefited this fellow!”

Li Changshou reminded, “That’s my enemy.”

“Yes, that’s why I’m complaining to you.” Duobao smiled and said, “It’s all related to him. Isn’t it the only connection between us?”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

“Bodhi, do you think that fellow will come back?”

Duobao squinted and smiled. “He descended from the sky and killed his way back to the Primordial World. He was so carefree and happy. However, at that time, you would have to be uneasy and worried if you would be dealt with. Ah, I don’t know how to face him and explain my current situation to him. I became Buddha in a daze and still have to promote the teachings of the Western Sect.”

Li Changshou was about to say a few sarcastic words to remind Duobao not to be so “unrestrained”. However, just as he was about to speak, his spiritual perception jumped slightly. He sensed that Daoist Duobao’s aura had changed.

He turned around and saw Duobao frowning slightly. He was pinching his fingers to deduce and looking at his palm.

Soon, Duobao changed his leisurely expression. A pressure surged out from his body and he looked up in the direction of the Heavenly Palace.

Li Changshou asked, “What’s wrong with Buddha?”

“It has nothing to do with you,” Duobao said coldly. He pressed his palm against the lotus pond in front of him and opened a cloud mirror. The situation in the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was revealed.

In the treasure hall, a female immortal in golden armor stood in the middle of the civil and military officials. She faced the Jade Emperor on the throne and the impostor Taibai Jinxing who was beside the Jade Emperor.

The female immortal’s figure was almost perfect. The fitting armor accentuated her originally delicate curves and made her look a little stronger. The simple ponytail made her look heroic.

It was Youqin Xuanya.

At that moment, she cupped her hands and lowered her head.

“Your Majesty, I have been careless with my words. Today, I have criticized you for going overboard. Please let me face your punishment. However, it is unfair for the Heavenly Courts to confer the title of Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal! Sun Wukong did not have any merit or battle merits. He was originally an enemy of the Heavenly Courts. If the Heavenly Courts rewarded him just because he was powerful, wouldn’t the experts of the Three Realms become enemies with the Heavenly Courts in the future and wait for the Heavenly Courts to issue an edict? How can the Heavenly Courts soldiers who had shed their blood to fight the demons accept this? How can you make the heroic souls who had died in Huaguo Mountain accept it? Please withdraw your orders, Your Majesty! The Heavenly Courts’ war generals would rather fight a powerful enemy than stand with them.”

Beside Youqin Xuanya, the generals lowered their heads and cupped their fists.

On the platform, the Jade Emperor’s expression was normal. However, the fake Taibai Jinxing’s expression was cold.

Beside the lotus pond on the spiritual mountain, Duobao stared at the situation. Dao runes surged around him, and he was already prepared to teleport.
