Chapter 1442: Chapter 517: Entering Spirit Mountain, Confronting Zhunti
“What was the name of His Majesty’s transcender teacher in the original world?”
Ran Deng Lao Dao sat cross-legged on the cloud platform, floating beside Li Ping’an, frowned and pondered.
He said slowly, “This poor Daoist indeed does not know.”
“Really don’t know, Fellow Daoist?”
“Really don’t know.”
Ran Deng said seriously:
“Though this poor Daoist was brought here between heaven and earth by him, it was only in ancient times that I gained sentience, and I’m not very knowledgeable about his prior affairs, only what he voluntarily told this poor Daoist.”
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty, if this poor Daoist shows any abnormalities, the Saint Patriarch would surely notice immediately.”
Li Ping’an cupped his hands: “Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for telling me, there’s nothing else.”
Ran Deng asked, “Your Majesty, why inquire about this matter?”
“It’s not a big issue,” Li Ping’an laughed, “if we can figure out who this transcender teacher was in the original world, perhaps we can understand his regrets, making it easier to deal with him.”
Ran Deng nodded slowly: “Pardon this poor Daoist for speaking out of turn, Fellow Daoist, you already have the opportunity to transcend, actually don’t need to plot too much, nor need to break off with him.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Li Ping’an dismissed:
“I respect him as a teacher because he taught me many skills; he accepted me as a disciple also for me to serve him in the future.”
“We established a gentleman’s agreement before the calamity of the destruction of heaven and earth comes, at this time, our positions are opposed, no matter who loses or wins in the end.”
Ran Deng gave a smiling bow, speaking softly: “According to what this poor Daoist knows, he is not a very magnanimous creature.”
Li Ping’an:…
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for the reminder.”
Li Ping’an returned the bow, and together with Ran Deng, returned to the hall.
The Chan Teaching side continued the banquet; Li Ping’an was unaware that his old father was now sweating profusely and was still pondering over how many things the Heavenly Dao had done behind his back.
This gave Li Ping’an a sense of crisis.
The Heavenly Dao is without emotion, but the Heavenly Dao will choose the most beneficial route for the heavens and for itself.
Such a ‘thinking entity,’ a ‘thinking entity’ with possibilities of transcendence itself, does not appear to be ‘benevolent.’
“Headache.”
Li Ping’an sighed lightly in his heart, continuing to clink cups and discuss Dao and immortals with Chan Teaching immortals.
He was thinking that after the banquet was over, he would directly go to Ling Mountain to execute his ‘alienation’ plan.
But while he was discussing, there came a light sound from his sleeve.
Father’s message?
Still using the emergency messaging talisman that is only used when under siege?
Li Ping’an’s expression changed slightly, naturally not daring to delay at all, bid farewell, and left from here.
…
‘Father is heading to the Heavenly Court.’
Li Ping’an transformed his form into the Golden Crow, speeding through the sky over the East Continent, intercepting Li Dazhi in no time, flashing directly in front of Li Dazhi.
“Dad!”
“Eh?” Li Dazhi shivered, “How did you come out!”
Li Ping’an raised his hand to grab Li Dazhi’s arm, checked over his father thoroughly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Scared me to death, thought something big happened to you, dad, isn’t your Primordial Spirit fine? What’s up?”
Li Dazhi showed a troubled expression, whispered: “You first follow me to Dong’an City, we’ll talk when we get back.”
Li Ping’an asked, “Is it not particularly urgent?”
“No, just got frightened, now it’s okay,” Li Dazhi sighed deeply, “If you have things to attend to, go ahead, I actually don’t have anything major.”
Nothing major and directly using such an expensive messaging talisman.
Really the richest in the Desolate Era?
Li Ping’an wondered: “What exactly happened?”
“I just received a gift,” Li Dazhi pulled Li Ping’an closer to transmit the message, “It’s… a black-feathered leopard.”
Li Ping’an was taken aback: “Who gave it?”
“Wei Yanzi! Who knows where he got a black panther, looks quite cute, but you say this… Hey!”
Li Dazhi’s expression was a bit helpless:
“Black Panther, how inauspicious it is.
“I’m the principal figure of the Dao Immortal Tribulation! It scared me at the time! Am I really… that guy?”
Li Ping’an pondered for a moment: “There’s indeed something wrong, dad, don’t rush, I’ll first go look at that black panther.”
“What are you looking at him for, I had Wei Yanzi take him back.”
Li Dazhi put both hands in his pockets:
“Just now dazed a bit, now I’ve figured it out, the principal figure, how one isn’t a principal figure?”
“Don’t worry about this, it’s just an acceptance problem.”
“Previously, I always thought I’d be a chancellor, you know, now it’s most likely I can only be a strategist.”
Li Ping’an smiled and nodded, speaking softly: “Alright then, dad, you go back first, retrieve that black panther, I’ll swing by the Western Sect and come back, we’ll carefully plan how to deal with this.”
“Fine, you go ahead… No! Where are you going?”
“Western Sect.”
Li Ping’an saw his father’s wide eyes, laughed:
“Don’t worry, dad, with the Six Saints back, they may not dare to use any dirty tricks on me.”
“Not to mention I’ve got a transcender teacher behind me, this world, who cares most about my identity?”
“It’s the sect hierarchs.”
“Have them fighting desperately for the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, I don’t believe they could kill the Kunpeng a few more times.”
“You, this,” Li Dazhi sighed: “You absolutely must act cautiously, don’t get into conflicts with them, it’s not worth going head-to-head.”
“You go back and calm down,” Li Ping’an said, “I’ll be back in about one or two hours.”
“Ah.”
Li Dazhi gently sighed, appeared as if he wanted to say more, but ultimately didn’t say anything extra, ascended the cloud to turn around towards Dong’an City.
Li Ping’an watched his father leave, a wisp of immortal consciousness always wrapped around his father’s surroundings.
He took out a messaging jade talisman, passed a message to Ningning Mu, instructing her to return to Casting Cloud Sect shortly under the guise of visiting relatives, bringing three thousand immortal soldiers and three hundred maids.
