Chapter 356

Within the palace, there were countless human figures!

Above that heavenly court, a majestic Emperor seemed to be seated.

But regardless of whether he was an Emperor or not...

What appeared was a terrifying tribulation lightning bolt from the firmament, instantly crashing down!

"Boom—rumble—!"

The terrifying tribulation lightning instantly engulfed Li Changshou.

Li Changshou only had time to carve a few ancient characters in the void before being slammed directly onto the ground by that tribulation lightning!

Long after, the Lei Guang dissipated, and the ground had been forcibly blasted into a massive crater by this tribulation lightning.

Li Changshou leaped out of the crater, his clothes tattered and his breath somewhat unsteady!

He couldn't help but spit a mouthful of blood, yet he laughed!

"This is our real heavenly tribulation!? It's truly damn powerful!"

At this moment, Li Changshou looked toward the firmament, grinned broadly, his long hair dancing wildly as he soared toward the sky!

Regarding the fact that the Tribulation Crossing divine lightning was terrifying and strong...

Li Changshou had only one thought: Good, very good, bring another one!

Hmm...

Nine bolts of heavenly lightning!

They struck him until his skin split and flesh tore.

Since he began cultivation, this counted as the most severe injury he had ever suffered.

Nevertheless, he was still very happy!

As long as he could become an immortal, what did this heavenly tribulation matter?

Of course, it would have been better without that final bolt of heavenly punishment!

Yes, Li Changshou had endured a full ten bolts of heavenly lightning!

The first nine were normal heavenly tribulation lightning.

But this final one became heavenly punishment, a terrifying heavenly punishment in the truest sense.

Yet Li Changshou had endured it!

This mere heavenly punishment meant nothing to him.

Now, Li Changshou had finally become an immortal.

It could be considered taking a small step in his life!

It was not until Li Changshou returned to Little Qiong Peak that countless people once again witnessed Li Changshou's true style of being steady yet mischievous, mischievous yet brilliant—a truly showy maneuver!

Over so many years, he had raised Ling E himself.

He had even taught Ling E to be quite presentable.

But because he had been away during this period, Ling E had indeed committed a mistake by matchmaking for others; one person liked a Miss, but that Miss liked another person...

And that Miss, following Ling E's guidance, had lied claiming she was already pregnant and so on...

As a result, this caused those two disciples to fight.

Regardless of whether either of them suffered serious injuries, both had engaged in private combat and were ultimately punished by the sect...

"Senior Brother, I was wrong..." Ling E lowered her head and whispered.

"Wrong about what?" Li Changshou asked without even lifting his eyelids.

Ling E bowed her head and said: "I shouldn't have... without considering clearly how those few would react, I directly gave Senior Sister Yan that terrible idea, resulting in them being punished by the sect!"

Li Changshou glared, frustrated by her inability to learn: "I taught you for so many years, yet you truly spat out everything I taught you in just a few short days! Fine, your nature is simply like this; it was wrong of me to hold such high expectations for you. Sigh, never mind..."

"No, don't say 'never mind'! Senior Brother, feel free to make demands of me!"

Ling E immediately panicked and hurriedly spoke: "I will never cause trouble again! Don't give up on me, Senior Brother; from now on, I will cultivate quietly by your side, and if I meet a stranger, I won't say a single word!"

Li Changshou lifted his eyelids and asked again: "Then tell me again, where exactly were you wrong?"

Ling E's eyes turned red, somewhat at a loss: "I, I..."

She spoke for a long time but could not articulate any clear reason...

"You should not have meddled in others' affairs in the first place!"

Li Changshou pointed at the table and sighed: "Do you know whether Liu Yan's destined marriage was with Liu Liu Sizhe or Wang Qi? One has secretly loved her for a century, the other has known her for only a few years; why did Liu Yan hesitate? Why could she not speak harshly to Liu Liu Sizhe with a ruthless heart? Was it not because she had doubts in her heart?"

"Liu Yan is already one hundred and fifty or sixty years old; could he not think of other methods?"

"It is not that he cannot, only that he is unwilling!"

"Your interference from the sidelines is equivalent to directly cutting off one person's path, turning her future undecided marriage into a settled fact; if it had aligned with another's heavenly mandate, it would be one thing, but since you altered another's heavenly mandate, your single sentence assumed the karma of three people; do you realize how much of your own fortune you damaged?"

"Do not always think yourself the smartest or the most resourceful; no one is much duller than others, only people love to act clever! This matter is the best portrayal of your unstable mindset!"

Li Changshou's words were truly earth-shaking and enlightening.

Lan Ling'er asked with a trembling voice: "Senior Brother, then how should I make amends?"

"The more you do, the more mistakes you make; later, go apologize to Senior Sister Liu Yan and beg for her forgiveness!"

Li Changshou rubbed his forehead, sighed, and said: "It seems you still do not quite understand; let me give you a simple example: if Senior Sister Liu Yan and Junior Brother Wang Qi fall out in the future, who will she blame first?"

Ling E pondered, then said: "It would be me, the outsider who originally gave the idea to help her reject the other person... an outsider?!"

Li Changshou smiled bitterly: "Therefore, why interfere in others' private matters? The word 'love' has never been clearly defined since ancient times; this is not a necessity for cultivating the Dao and seeking immortality, yet you think of nothing else most days; continuing like this will only waste your aptitude and comprehension! After apologizing to Senior Sister Yan, reflect properly on the peak; whenever Liu Liu Sizhe emerges from closed-door cultivation, you shall emerge from closed-door cultivation at that same time!"

Li Changshou stood up, then added: "I will not punish you heavily this time; take a stone slate yourself and go copy the Steadiness Sutra three hundred times! Only when you truly understand where you went wrong should you go apologize to Liu Yan!"

Immediately, Ling E silently sat beneath a willow tree, took out a stone slate, and began to write from memory the scripture Li Changshou had composed over ten years ago!

At this moment, throughout The Myriad Heavens and Worlds, countless people were also viewing this so-called Steadiness Sutra...

What could be seen was...

The Classic of Stability

The Primordial World???

Born into the world, meddle not; immortality secured, hard to take the lead.

Encounter injustice, rely on oneself; face difficulties, reflect within.

Many friends, no escape from trouble; few friends, avoid sudden disaster.

Make no enemies; if made, danger is certain. Strike first, or later turn to ash.

Be not arrogant, be not fearful; handle all things steadily, and peace may be attained.

On a divergent path, retreat to advance; seize opportunities, plan before acting.

In the past, a certain Hong, a kind soul, was ultimately plotted against; how tragic!

A demon with great ability, full of schemes, was knocked unconscious and tossed into an iron cauldron.

The old Turbid Race, cautious and weak, strove against heaven yet remained helpless.

The ancient races, indignant at injustice, fiercely fought for fortune but ended in desolation.

Later, two heroes divided heaven and earth; provoked by discord, both fell to ruin.

New generations rise, praising rites and music; sages emerge, and many wise scholars appear.

In our era, bad luck is avoided; the path to immortality is complete, and the fruits of the Dao are attained.

Act steadily, reject karma, avoid forced plundering, and one may find joy.

To evade heavenly calamities, adapt; to dodge human disasters, leave no cauldron behind.

Hearing the Dao at dawn, understanding the immortal path, keep the Classic of Stability by your side.

A flowing text of some hundred characters.

Lan Lan Linge carved it again and again...

Across The Myriad Heavens and Worlds, countless people watched this Classic of Stability, completely dumbfounded!

"Holy crap, did this Li Changshou, just to stay low-profile, actually publish a Classic of Laying Low!?"

"Hiss, so terrifying, simply so terrifying!"

"Good heavens, this Li Changshou has carved 'laying low' right into his bones!"

"Damn, I'm shocked; how can there be someone so low-profile?"

"I thought Han Li was low-profile enough; damn, I never expected anyone to be even more low-profile than Han Li!?"

"'Born into the world, meddle not; immortality secured, hard to take the lead!' Tsk, in just twelve characters, the principle of minding one's own business is expressed perfectly!"

"'Make no enemies; if made, danger is certain. Strike first, or later turn to ash!' Good heavens, the Saint of Laying Low has begun transmitting the Dharma! This is why one must cut the weeds and dig up the roots, crush the bones and scatter the ashes!"

"The Sacred Canon of the Saint of Laying Low, damn it!"

"'In the past, a certain Hong, a kind soul, was ultimately plotted against; how tragic?' Pu, hahaha, isn't this talking about Old Ancestor Hongyun? Old Ancestor Hongyun of the Primordial World? That kind soul who was plotted against until he was utterly doomed?"
