My Senior Brother Is Too Steady
Chapter 26: The Idea

‘'*Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu.

Li Changshou had turned into green smoke. As he twisted and turned through the narrow gap, and charged downwards at high speed, he passed through the array formation after array formation. Each of them made Li Changshou feel a deep sense of satisfaction.

Why did she say Auntie-Master was perfect?

Jiu Jiu knew quite a bit about array formations. He was a Perfected Immortal and was approaching the Eternal Heaven Realm. Its foundation is solid, and its eternal strength is pure. He also has unexpected powerful control over his own immortal power.

Most importantly, he could follow the direction of the younger generation!

Maybe calling them ‘hint’ would be overrated. Li Changshou acknowledged that there was an element of deceit. However, one was willing to be beaten, and the other was willing to endure the beating. Both are willing parties—it's beautiful.

‘Aibi-Tuan Jiu Jiu helped me a lot this time. I must thank the elders in the Punishment Hall for punishing Aunt-Master Jiu in this way. I should also thank Uncle-Master Jiu Wu for throwing Aunt Jiu into the wine barrel to bathe when she was young. I should also thank myself, for finding a few pieces of torn sheepskin on the bookshelf in the corner of the Outer Hall of the Silk Dao. That's how I managed to ‘test’ the paralyzing agent used in combat like Drunken Immortal and Soft Immortal Disperser.’.

Green smoke dropped about 1,000 feet before stopping in the middle of a narrow gap between two rocks. Li Changshou then turned into a human again.

In his hand, he held a jade token, which could control the array formation. His fingers rubbed the surface several times, causing the diagram on the jade token to change slightly.

At the same time, ripples appeared on the rocks in front of him like water. Li Changshou walked up to the rock, and then the stone returned to its original state.

Unhindered, Li Changshou took a few steps into the boulder. A small wooden door appeared in front of him. He pushed it open and walked into the secret room, which measured 30 feet per side.

He took out the array controller jade token and twisted it in his palm. Again, the array formation outside changed slightly. The secret underground chamber immediately disappeared in the various gaps around the array formation.

Even the Heaven God, who had deliberately searched this room, would not be able to know its location from all directions unless they destroyed the array formation outside.

This was Li Changshou's main goal in building this Pill Room.

‘Men need their secret room.’

There were two bookshelves in the secret room, filled with ancient texts.

Li Changshou sat behind the table and took out dozens of sheepskin. He studied it carefully and then took out another jade token. After closing his eyes, a complex three-dimensional structure appeared in his mind.

This three-dimensional structure looked like a building in the city that he had often seen in his previous life. However, this ‘building’ is embedded inside the Small Qiong Peak.

Li Changshou sighed slowly.

‘It's been a long time since last time I felt so hidden and safe ..’

“Ah.” Li Changshou sighed as a smile spread across his face. “Not a bad idea to shower here. What joke. I couldn't relax, even for a moment. I must continue to inspect the different parts of this grand array formation. ”

It was a good thing that Aunt Jiu Jiu had such a high cultivation level. That was the only reason he could turn his dreams into reality—a large, three-dimensional, and complex array group!

Li Changshou carefully composed the puzzle through Jiu Jiu's hands, based on the design and ideals he had for this array formation.

Based on Aunt-Master Jiu Jiu's understanding, she had helped Li Changshou gather over 100 medium and small sized array formations. Moreover, these array formations overlapped to form a natural-like array formation, which covered the surroundings within a radius of 30 kilometers of the Pill Chamber.

The combined efforts of Li Changshou and Jiu Jiu produced this enormous array. This huge array — works of the Enhanced Immortal — cannot be broken even by the Heaven God.

Perhaps only a Heaven God with a deep understanding of array formations could break it.

However, Jiu Jiu only knew of this first step. He did not know the second, third, and fourth steps.

The foundation of the main array formation was made of precious materials, spirit stones, and specially refined treasures. As all the foundations were interconnected, the power of Heaven and Earth was activated. That allowed the large array to have many different effects.

The Dao Formation Array was vast and deep. Li Changshou knew that he had not learned enough about array formations to be called an expert.

He should have a realistic and clear view of his own understanding and skills.

However, he could not help his bold and unrestricted imagination. Moreover, he could repeatedly decipher this imagination to make his dream come true, step by step.

About 60 to 70 years ago, when Li Changshou was enjoying a break from cultivation, he had studied the array formations set up around the Eternal Du Sect. Coincidentally, he had discovered that the foundation of the general array formation in the Primordial Age was largely laid on a horizontal plane.

At that moment, he thought, ‘What if they could be put in a vertical plane? The effect should be the same.’

Take a ball-shaped mountain protective array formation, for example. If the foundation is placed vertically, half the ball will be able to rotate 90 degrees.

Of course, most of the mountain protective array formations were required to utilize the power from the earth meridians. It is impossible to lay the foundation vertically.

However, other than the protective array formation, the labyrinth, the trap array formation, and the killer array formation could rotate freely.

‘On this basis, what will happen if I lay the foundation of the arrangement on the inclined plane? What would happen if I laid the foundation of several array formations intermittently? For example, between two array formations, one can be laid horizontally and the other vertically. They will share 1/3 of their foundation. When I activate the horizontal array, the vertical one will be disabled, and vice versa. That will make ‘array switching hassle-free’!’

Li Changshou slowly fumbled his way and finally found a way to let spiritual power flow through the array formation. He had also solved the problem by applying theory to the various foundations of array formations.

All of his works have reached their peak to this day.

The large, three-dimensional, and complex array formation of Little Qiong Peak was a successful realization of Li Changshou's theory!

If one divided a large array on a horizontal plane, they would find three layers.

Jiu Jiu only knew about the top layer of the — array formation that surrounded the Pill Room. It contains over 100 traps and labyrinth arrays.

However, this was only a situation when arrays in this area were activated in the horizontal plane.

The foundation of this arrangement also has several hidden programs placed vertically and obliquely. Among them were many killing array formations.

At that moment, the secret room, where Li Changshou was located, was the center of all array formations.

The secret chamber would only appear on this stone when all the vertical core array formations had been activated, and all the horizontal ones were reversed.

There was no need to fear even the great masters of Earth Escape. Without the jade token in Li Changshou's hands and his special hand control technique, one would have to smash Little Qiong Peak into pieces to find this secret room.

If the time came where Little Qiong Peak should be destroyed, even the Eternal Du Sect would probably perish. Before that, there would be a 99% chance that Li Changshou had already…

‘Cough, there is no meaning in living and perishing with the sect. It is truer to stay alive to take revenge for my fellow teachers and students!’

Next to the record, the array in the lower layer was meant to absorb the energy of the earth meridian.

In order to avoid absorbing too much power from the earth and spirit meridians, which would attract the attention of other cultivators or seniors in the sect, Li Changshou had to avoid all spirit meridians. Instead, he chose to absorb the power of ‘keruh’, which the earth has the most, and then use the cleaning array left behind by the mage race to filter out its power.

Although this would slightly affect the power of the killing array, it was the most appropriate solution.

Moreover, even if the experts in the sect were to notice the array group at Little Qiong Peak, as long as he did not activate the vertical and inclined plane, they would only see the array and the trapping labyrinth. They could not blame him for breaking the sect rules.

Before this, he used mediocrity as his disguise. This is known as ‘camouflage passive’.

Now, however, he was forced to do more because he needed the Pill Chamber to refine pills. He should do ‘ active disguise’ in extremes. As for the direction he would take in the future, Li Changshou had already thought about it.

He would take all the foundation of the array formation under the Pill Chamber as his headquarters. From there, he would slowly expand outwards. Little Qiong Peak would become a fortress in the sect, which no one would notice.

He only had one life, and the Primordial Times was too exciting.

‘For cultivators in my generation, looking for longevity and the Great Dao should come first. It will not be too late to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Trichiliocosm after that.’

“Finally,” said Li Changshou while rubbing both hands. He stored his sheepskin and jade tokens and took out some storage sacks. Then, he devoted some storage of Dharma treasures from within.

After two years, he could finally see the surprise gift he had gotten from his expedition to the Northern Continent.

“First, I will see how poor Immortal Yuwen Ling is.”

Li Changshou chuckled as she took out two paper puppets and turned them into her clones. The clone raised the two Dharma treasure storages, took one corner of the room, and began to dilute it.

Half a day later, the paper puppet guarding the furnace was almost out of power. Li Changshou kept his gift, stood up, and left the secret room.

He held an embroidery box in his hand. Inside the box are two sleeping ‘kumbang’.

If he's not mistaken, this should be—Love Parasites!

“Good stuff,” exciting Li Changshou. “It's a shame I'm useless to them now. I'll keep it first. In the future, if the immortal beings and spirit beasts I nurtured show no signs of breeding, I can use this to encourage them. It will increase their reproductive rate and save this rare breed.”

…

Time pass. Now was the day that Jiu Jiu agreed to help Li Changshou refine pills.

Jiu Jiu yawned as she put on the hemp clothes that one of her senior sisters had washed for her. Sleepily, he climbed up his wine gourd and headed towards Little Qiong Peak.

As one of the main Perfect Gods in the sect, Jiu Jiu had many powerful figures behind him. Thus, he flew without much restriction. He could go wherever he wanted, except to the forbidden area.

“Is today the 20th day?”

Jiu Jiu squeezed her fingers and counted. Soon, he felt confused.

Before this, he had tried ‘konsentrat’ Drunken Immortal because he had been looking for excitement. In the end, he slept for five or six days in a row.

As he rushed over, he ignored to expand his immortal consciousness. Therefore, he failed to notice the clouds floating in the forest below him.

As soon as Jiu Jiu arrived at Little Qiong Peak, two heads emerged from the clouds. The one on the left was a short Daoist, Jiu Wu. The one on the right looked like a teenage girl, no more than 16 or 17 years old.

Although she looked like a teenage girl, with beautiful features and full curves, she was filled with youthful energy. Both are almost the same age—more than 2,000 years.

The teenage girl's Dao name was Jiu Shi, and she was the fourth disciple of His Highness Wang Qing. He was also Dao Jiu Wu's friend and the girl Jiu Wu often used to spy on the webs of the Three Headed Spiders Strong Disciple.

Jiu Wu said in a low voice, “It doesn't seem right for us to do this. After all, this was Little Qiong Peak.”

The teenage girl replied in annoyance, “What are you afraid of? If they are not happy with us, we should only fight the Peak Leader of this peak!” Then, he narrowed his apricot eyes and said, “He came here when he woke up. Something must be wrong. When did you see this hardworking Little Jiu? I want to see if this Young Brother Qi Yuan has grown three heads or six arms. How could he pull our Little Jiu here every day before even ascending to immortality?”

Jiu Wu smiled bitterly as she raised her short and thick eyebrows. “There is an array formation here? I can't feel Little Jiu's aura anymore.”

“What arrangement formation should we fear? Didn't we all learn this?” Jiu Wu pursed her lips and grabbed Jiu Wu's collar. Without a word, they hid their figure and aura and turned into two shadows, which flew towards the forest of Little Qiong Peak.

“We are both halfway to the Eternal Heaven Realm. Should we be afraid of the array formation made by someone who hasn't even ascended to immortality*?”
