Chapter 566: Shixiong, Why Be So Polite with Me?

~12 min read 2,255 words

Looking around, the sea Yaoguai soldiers and generals had either run away or died, and there were none left standing. However, there were still many Long Bo, all staring in this direction, looking at a loss.

They were clearly huge, as if they could support the sky with both hands and grab the white clouds with one hand, but looking down at the ant-like figures in the middle, they were very wary. And because the octopus sea Yaoguai was dead, they didn't know what they should do next. These "ants" didn't give them orders, and they didn't know what they were going to do, so they were very at a loss.

"These Long Bo are indeed simple." Lin Jue said.

"Put you on an overseas desert island, with a few hundred people, eating and sleeping every day without thinking about anything else, you would also be simple." Third Shixiong said, "Their intelligence is actually not low, it's just not excavated."

"Then it's still simple." Lin Jue looked around, "That octopus broke the fog here. If the next troubled times come, I'm afraid all parties will aim at them."

"No matter, as long as this sea Yaoguai dies, the fog will come back after a while."

"So that's how it is."

Lin Jue nodded and continued to look around.

This island was a hundred li long and wide, not big. The remnant soul obsessions of the Long Bo were also much larger and more obvious than those of ordinary people. He cultivated the Yin-Yang Spiritual Method. Just looking at the island, he could roughly know where the remaining Long Bo's remnant soul obsessions were hidden from the imbalance of Yin and Yang energy on the island.

"These Long Bo have a very long, very long life. It seems there are no Long Bo who died naturally on this island. They almost never leave remnant soul obsessions when they die naturally." Third Shixiong said, "However, their souls are very powerful, and their personalities are very stubborn. If they are killed or harmed by others, there is a great possibility that they will turn into remnant soul obsessions."

"Are they that long?" The Junior Xiao Shimei asked in surprise.

"Not that long." Third Shixiong glanced at her, "However, because the Long Bo are simple, stubborn, and combative, and loyal to their principles, coupled with their naturally huge size and infinite strength, if they put on armor and hold special weapons, even the gods in the sky, the great Yaoguai on the ground, and the Jiao dragons in the sea rarely have any that can fight them. Therefore, since ancient times, whether it is the gods in the sky or the great Yaoguai on the ground, they like to subdue or imprison the Long Bo as combat soldiers. So the Long Bo on this island often didn't die of old age before they were subdued by gods or captured by Yaoguai Kings."

Third Shixiong paused after saying this:

"And because there is no upper limit to the size of the Long Bo, they will continue to grow after adulthood, just growing slower and slower. The older they are, the larger their size, the larger their size, the stronger their strength, and the higher their wisdom. That's how the thirty-zhang-tall Long Bo in legends came to be. So when gods and Yaoguai Kings came to subdue and capture them, they all picked the older and larger ones, so there were even fewer Long Bo who died of old age here."

Lin Jue deeply agreed with Third Shixiong's words.

No one can better understand the power of the Long Bo than the practitioner of "carving beans into soldiers"—

Ordinary Long Bo, wearing whale skin as clothes and being unarmed, can directly resist many great Yaoguai. If they wear divine helmets, divine armor, and hold special weapons, they truly have an invincible momentum.

If it is "carving beans into soldiers", using ordinary spiritual wood, limited by materials, it is actually a bit worse than a real Long Bo. Even inferior spiritual wood cannot carry such power, while using superior spiritual wood can barely be equivalent to the physique and strength of a Long Bo, with a bit less agility and a bit more ferocity, winning in portability.

But like them, using the body of a long-lived tree that has attained the Dao as the body of a Long Bo, as long as it is refined properly, both strength and physique can exceed that of a living Long Bo.

If an immortal comes to refine it...

It's like Lin Jue's Long Bo, which can be called invincible below the Zhenren, and even some Zhenren and Yaoguai Immortals who are not good at fighting and have no intention of fighting at all dare not collide with it head-on.

Of course, these Zhenren and Yaoguai Immortals basically won't get involved in disputes, let alone be Lin Jue's opponents.

And hearing the latter part, I also feel that these Long Bo are a bit pitiful.

"Speaking of this fog, it is said that it was laid down by a former Lord Tianweng for them out of mercy." Third Shixiong said.

"Then before we leave, let's also lay a layer of fog for them. Hopefully, we can temporarily cover them before these fogs come back." Lin Jue said, pausing, "What about the other remnant soul obsessions on the island?"

"Naturally, call them out and tell them that the sea Yaoguai has been removed, and ask them to rest in peace." Third Shixiong said, "If there are any who are unwilling to leave, then invite them with sincerity."

"Hmm..."

Lin Jue waved his sleeve—

Whoosh! Wind and clouds suddenly rose in the sky.

It was originally daytime, and the scorching sun on the sea made people unable to open their eyes. Living people felt their skin burning, and remnant soul obsessions dared not expose themselves to such masculine power. But the Daoist priest waved his sleeve, and there was actually a taste of reversing Yin and Yang here!

Not only did the wind and clouds cover the sun, but the Yin spiritual rhyme also covered the Yang spiritual rhyme.

"Reversing Yin and Yang..."

Third Shixiong's expression also became solemn.

He also cultivated the Yin-Yang Spiritual Method, so he could naturally clearly feel the changes in the Yin-Yang spiritual rhyme between heaven and earth at this moment. Even if he covered his eyes, he might feel that it was not daytime, but nighttime.

He also knew from this that he had underestimated this Junior Shidi.

This is definitely not as simple as just attaining the Dao.

"It doesn't count yet." Lin Jue said, "It's just that I happen to cultivate the Yin-Yang Spiritual Method, realize the Yin-Yang Great Dao, and often peek and realize the Great Dao in my spare time after attaining the Dao, and have gained something."

This is still something realized by peeking in spare time.

"It seems Shidi has a big problem..."

"That is a great catastrophe for many creatures in the world." Lin Jue looked at Princess Hua beside Third Shixiong. He remembered that the Lord of the Western Peak, who had a very high status in the human world, was actually a natural divine spirit, not a human god.

Perhaps in this catastrophe, even the Lord of the Western Peak might be replaced.

In an instant, the sky here darkened.

Lin Jue opened his mouth and said to the distance: "Several deceased, why not come out and see?"

Huge shadows appeared faintly in the distance.

These shadows swayed and walked towards him.

The other Long Bo saw it and were not afraid.

Many Long Bo were harmed by the octopus sea Yaoguai. Third Shixiong had already obtained four followers, and now there were six more here.

"Several, greetings." Lin Jue said, "We came from the Yu Dynasty in the northwest, and came to visit you by name. Unexpectedly, there was a sea Yaoguai making trouble here. I think you were all harmed by it. Now it has been removed by us. If you have resentment and unwillingness, and are obsessed with revenge, you can rest in peace."

The six Long Bo, all huge in size, turned their heads to look at the pile of rubble, and then at the palace burning in the distance.

Unexpectedly, only one Long Bo was willing to leave.

Third Shixiong also stood out and said:

"Our Shixiong and Shidi are all frank and upright people. We have always cleared demons and removed Yaoguai without expecting any return. It's just that if you are really unwilling to leave, staying in the human world will only be worn away by wind, rain, and time. If you are willing to go with us to clear demons and remove Yaoguai, and punish evil and promote good, you can leave the Long Bo Kingdom today. We will naturally reshape your bodies for you. Heh, it's just not as comfortable as the original one, just like, Shidi..."

"Understand."

Lin Jue flipped his palm, and a wooden ball the size of a pigeon egg appeared on his hand.

With a flick, the wooden ball rode the wind into the sky, then quickly grew larger and fell to the ground fiercely.

"Boom!"

It was taller than most Long Bo here and much heavier than ordinary Long Bo. Falling from a high altitude, the beach on the ground was easily stepped into two deep pits by it, and the armor on its body also collided with a dull sound.

It was like an armored giant god.

As soon as the armored giant god stood straight, it turned around, examined the surrounding Long Bo, and looked at Lin Jue, silent.

"That's how it is."

Third Shixiong pointed to the armored giant god and said: "We can also take an oath that we will only let you clear demons and remove Yaoguai. If one day we betray our promise, or you feel that we are not worth following, you can leave at any time."

The two each took out a bottle.

The five Long Bo, some looked at each other, some looked up at the sky in a daze, some were still looking at the corpse of the octopus sea Yaoguai and the palace in the distance, and some were looking at the familiar relatives and friends around them, and looking at that armored giant god.

The cold wind blew across the beach, and some Long Bo began to step forward.

Lin Jue followed what he said—

Only accepted one Long Bo to keep company with his own, and to be symmetrical with each other.

Even for the sake of symmetry, he specially picked a Long Bo of similar size to his own and bowed to it from afar. He didn't fail it, and it felt his sincere intention, so it walked towards this side.

It is because "carving beans into soldiers", although easy to use, and the armored giant god is very majestic, firstly, it cannot fight against the Floating Pool Divine Lord, and secondly, it is time-consuming, heart-consuming, and effort-consuming. Lin Jue's mind is probably no longer on this.

Third Shixiong is just the opposite.

To this day, Third Shixiong still mainly cultivates carving beans into soldiers. He is also obsessed with this, and his attainments exceed Lin Jue's by I don't know how much. More importantly, he is very idle.

It is better to invite these remnant soul obsessions to his place. He will naturally serve them well. When he also attains the Dao, he will also use the body of a Yaoguai Ji Xianren as the body of a Long Bo, and refine it with the magic power of an immortal at all times. It can also help Lin Jue fight, and maybe the combat power will be higher than Lin Jue's own.

"This is not right, Shidi..."

"What's wrong, Shixiong?"

"That octopus sea Yaoguai was removed by Shidi and Xiao Shimei after all. If these Long Bo knew, they should be more willing to follow Shidi. Why do I have four here, and Shidi only has one?"

"What is wrong, senior brother?"

"That eight-clawed sea monster was, after all, eliminated by you and junior sister. If these Long Bo knew, they should be more willing to follow you, junior brother. Why is it that I have four here, while you only have one?"

"Why must you be so calculating, senior brother? If we really want to get to the bottom of it, this Long Bo Kingdom was found by you, senior brother. For this, you must have drifted overseas for at least several decades, right? Perhaps after finding this place, you even drifted and wandered on the open sea for another dozen years, only then waiting for this once-in-a-millennium opportunity. I merely benefited from your light, senior brother." Lin Jue said solemnly, "Besides, isn't the Long Bo bean soldier what you yearn for most, senior brother? Isn't this your highest pursuit? In that case, do you still need to decline? I think you should cherish this once-in-a-millennium opportunity well. You must know that for all these years, Fuchi Temple has only managed to gather four Long Bo."

"Eh? How did you know that after I found this place, I still drifted and waited on the sea outside for more than a dozen years?"

"No need to mind that."

"But I'm afraid my longevity immortal wood won't be enough..."

"What a coincidence! I have extra!"

"This..."

The third senior brother frowned, both puzzled and embarrassed.
