Chapter 1435: Chapter 514: Biyou Offers Lotus Seeds, Jade Void Sleeps Soundly
Li Ping’an stood with his hands behind his back on the clouds, slightly lost in thought as he gazed at the endless waves below.
His mind still lingered on the recent conversation with the Holy Mother Nuwa.
Nuwa’s attitude towards a certain matter left him somewhat puzzled.
“I understand all things here, as you wish, but… has the world truly lasted not even hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands of years?”
“It’s not gone,” Li Ping’an replied, “this is calculated based on the worst-case scenario.”
Nuwa nodded slightly, sighing softly: “I never imagined before, that becoming a Saint could turn into a bad thing, with so many schemes behind it, and the Transcender has actually been competing with the Three Pure Ones all along.”
“Now that Holy Mother has just returned, I won’t disturb you any further, you should rest, and I still have to visit the Azure Wander Palace.”
“Go on,” Nuwa smiled, “you’ve worked hard managing all the affairs.”
Before leaving, Li Ping’an added: “The Left Attendant sought me earlier, asking me to find the whereabouts of the Human Emperor, Fuxi Shi, which I agreed to do, but now have only received unfortunate news.”
Nuwa’s smile gradually faded, her gaze turning to the side where the Left Attendant immediately bowed his head and knelt.
Li Ping’an then hurriedly took his leave.
Stirring things up and then running away, truly exhilarating.
Strange, does Holy Mother Nuwa not get along with Fuxi the Human Emperor?
In ancient times, wasn’t it Holy Mother who, after Fuxi was plotted against, aided in his rebirth as the Human Emperor of the Human Race? The reason Fuxi Shi could suppress the Hundred Clans in ancient times was due to his threefold identity as a master of the Hundred Clans, an Innate Great Power, and a member of the Human Race, with Nuwa, who governs the Creation Path, supporting him as his sister.
‘Is there some kind of conflict?’
Li Ping’an felt perplexed by this, but he didn’t overthink it.
Fuxi has passed away, only leaving Daoist Zheyun.
This Daoist Zheyun seems to have become a die-hard fan of the Transcender Teacher.
Suddenly, there was a cry from the front: “Nephew His Majesty!”
Such a distinctive appellation.
The void tore open, and Taoist Duobao came smilingly out, marveling at Li Ping’an:
“Remarkable, following the Transcender in cultivating for five or six hundred years, you’ve reached such a level, even this Senior Uncle can’t quite see through it, marvelous indeed.”
Li Ping’an frowned and said, “Why does it feel like you’re mocking me, Senior Uncle?”
“Hahaha! Come, come, my master is drinking alone, you should go and console him, after all, Saints cannot get drunk.”
Dragging Li Ping’an, Duobao directly traversed through the void, reaching the Azure Wander Palace within a few steps.
A Saint’s domain naturally appeared more majestic than the Sect Hierarch’s domain.
Though the halls were still the same, and the mountains and waters unchanged, everywhere signs of a Saint’s Dao Charm enhanced the flourishing of the wood spirits, doubled the spirituality of fish and cranes, enlightened stubborn rocks instantly, and multiplied life in still waters.
When Li Ping’an arrived, the Eight Great Disciples of the Jie Sect were all gathered there, all there to pay respects to Tongtian Sect Leader.
At this moment, Tongtian was lounging on the steps before the throne, holding a jade jug, drinking alone, his expression cold as frost.
The Eight Disciples dared not even breathe loudly.
The previously jovial Taoist Duobao immediately straightened his demeanor upon entering the hall, bringing Li Ping’an forward.
“Master, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor has arrived.”
Most disciples of the Jie Sect acted freely; at this moment, only the relatively more disciplined Zhao Gongming gave a formal Dao salute to Li Ping’an, while the five fairies merely nodded slightly as a greeting.
A certain mysterious tortoise was even more excessive, standing there motionless.
Li Ping’an wanted to approach and tease Guiling a bit but upon getting closer… she was asleep.
‘You truly can sleep anywhere.’
“Ping’an,” Tongtian Sect Leader sighed, “all of you go outside and tell all disciples that no one is allowed to leave without permission from one of you Eight in the following millennium.”
The Eight Great Disciples simultaneously bowed their heads: “Yes, Master.”
Taoist Duobao tucked his hands into his sleeves, secretly nudging Li Ping’an.
The implication was naturally for Li Ping’an to go counsel Tongtian.
Tongtian sighed slightly, appearing somewhat preoccupied.
“Greetings, Martial Uncle Ancestor.”
“No need for formalities, come and sit up here.”
“Thank you, I’ll sit below.”
Li Ping’an casually looked around, drew in a chair, and sat down below the platform.
Tongtian Sect Leader seemed about to speak but restrained.
Li Ping’an had already felt a massive ‘complaining energy’ from this Saint Lord who showed no change in ‘personality’.
He took the initiative to speak: “The matter of the Investiture of the Gods, what Master Ancestor did was indeed somewhat inappropriate.”
“Right! I said so, didn’t I?”
Tongtian Sect Leader immediately straightened up, eyes full of grievance:
“His disciples are disciples, but my disciples are nothing?”
Li Ping’an sighed inwardly, noting that this Martial Uncle Ancestor’s character had not become more ‘lonely and isolated,’ but instead more down-to-earth.
“Please, calm down, Martial Uncle Ancestor.”
Li Ping’an said solemnly:
“In this matter, as a junior disciple, I cannot speak out of turn, but I have witnessed your sincerity firsthand.
“Today I came here to offer some support to you, Martial Uncle Ancestor.”
Tongtian asked confusedly: “What kind of support?”
“Look,” Li Ping’an flipped his left hand, revealing a slowly rotating Red Lotus with eleven petals, resembling glass yet with traces of impurities, the eleventh petal being slightly smaller.
Tongtian Sect Leader immediately beamed with joy.
“Isn’t this the benefit you promised to our Jie Sect before?”
“Also,” Li Ping’an flipped his right hand, revealing another full and round Red Lotus exuding mystical Dao Charm with eleven grades.
Tongtian Sect Leader’s eyes lit up, examining this Red Lotus carefully.
The amount of merit this second Red Lotus could absorb was likely dozens of times that of the first, making it an Innate Spiritual Treasure, extremely rare, capable of suppressing destiny and dispelling karmic hindrances, a functional Innate Spiritual Treasure!
