Immortal Father

Zhunti’s defeat was still somewhat dignified.

The dual Saint war attracted enormous attention across the world, allowing beings to truly understand what a Saint is and the real strength of Saint power.

The saying "all beneath Saints are ants" is by no means empty talk.

Nüwa and Zhunti engaged in a fierce battle.

The Red Embroidered Ball in Nüwa’s hand was unpredictable and elusive; whenever it brushed against Zhunti’s golden body, the latter’s magical form would tremble.

The Qibao Mi Tree wielded by Zhunti seemed also to have increased in power; with a mere wave, it could affect the spirituality of treasures within a region.

A critical point in this magical combat was which could track the other’s trajectory between the Red Embroidered Ball and the Qibao Mi Tree.

Ultimately, Zhunti was still quite impoverished.

Besides the Red Embroidered Ball, Nüwa also used the Rivers and Mountains Chart, refined with a large amount of merit. In the hands of a Saint, its power was formidable, capable of emitting razor-sharp merit blades that constantly shook Zhunti’s magical form.

The two Saints fought from the main world of the Desolate Era to the edge of the heaven and earth.

They were not engaged in a frenzied war without reason, so there was no situation where a Saint would throw a small world at the opponent.

Nonetheless, the aftermath of their magical combat still inflicted serious injuries on many Qi Cultivators who witnessed this war.

——Those with insufficient cultivation who crowded too close for excitement lacked a clear understanding of Saint power.

Li Ping’an watched the entire battle, feeling quite... unsettled.

Fortunately, Zhunti was only defending at that time and did not counterattack him; otherwise, he truly couldn’t withstand a few moves from Zhunti.

A Saint is indeed a Saint.

On the third day of the war, Nüwa finally began to gain the upper hand, with signs of Zhunti’s magical form being smashed by the Red Embroidered Ball.

Sitting on the cloud platform, eating Immortal Fruits and drinking fine liquor, Li Ping’an at that moment was sure in his heart that Zhunti would concede.

The dozens of Heavenly Court experts on the cloud platform, and the hundreds of Heavenly Court officials around the cloud platform, were still discussing what they should be careful about in future magical combat against a Saint, to survive a few breaths longer in front of a Saint.

Li Ping’an was not in a hurry to open champagne at halftime and continued watching.

In the Heavenly Court, he was one of the two experts who could aid Nüwa.

Nüwa came forward for him, so he certainly couldn’t watch as the Holy Mother of the Human Race was bullied by Zhunti; if push came to shove, he would unleash his ultimate weapon, and Zhunti would at least lose a layer of skin.

By the seventh day of the war, Nüwa had firmly taken the upper hand.

But to deal with Zhunti, who began full defense, still required considerable effort.

A huge void had appeared in the Chaos Sea.

This void was created during the Saint war, directly capturing chaotic aura.

Amid such an intense magical combat, the Chaotic Behemoths, who had appeared twice before, remained completely quiet, leaving no trace.

They seemed to have utterly retreated from the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, now possessing the Six Saints.

Li Ping’an and the others were on a cloud platform in the Nine Heavens, a certain distance from the site of the Saint war. It was only with Li Ping’an’s Heavenly Patrol Mirror ’broadcast’ to all immortals that this scene was visible to them.

On the ninth day of the war, Zhunti officially surrendered.

His magical form was shattered, revealing his sixteen feet golden body, increasing his power and igniting his fighting spirit.

But Zhunti restrained himself, pressing his hands together and saying, "Nüwa, fellow Taoist, what divine skills. I admit defeat, accepting the terms and punishment."

Nüwa, still not revealing her snake-tail form, slightly nodded and said calmly, "In that case, use Hongmeng Purple Qi to take an oath to the Heavenly Dao, never to scheme against my disciple again. Western Sect must behead twenty fierce demons to offer as an apology to the Heavenly Court."

Behind Zhunti, a dark purple aura appeared.

Within this aura seemed to be a centipede constantly twisting its form, which was Zhunti’s reliance for becoming a Saint, Hongmeng Purple Qi.

He calmly took the oath to the Heavenly Dao, no longer troubling the Heavenly Court’s Princess Yao Ji.

But after swearing the oath, Zhunti said, "My Western Sect has no fierce demons; today, I lost to the fellow Taoist, so please do not be excessive."

Nüwa merely nodded slightly, not saying more.

This Saint war endured for nine days, and thus came to an end.

This matter didn’t need intentional promotion from the Heavenly Court, as it had already spread like wildfire through the Desolate Era, with little mention of the Heavenly Emperor slicing the Saint’s face with a sword.

When Zhunti and Nüwa disappeared from view, Li Ping’an instructed the Heavenly Court immortals to perform their duties, and then he hurried to the Holy Mother Palace.

His Eastern King was still there; naturally, he had to carefully escort him back to the Heavenly Court, to avoid a reckless encounter with mad dogs on the way, which would be a futile loss.

An hour later;

In the central hall of the Holy Mother Palace.

Nüwa slowly opened her eyes from her throne, looking at Li Ping’an, who just entered at the hall doors.

She sighed softly and smiled, "How is it?"

"Majestic, Your Highness!"

Li Ping’an gave a thumbs up, grinning non-stop.

Yao Ji watched from the side, seeing Li Ping’an acting without formality for the first time.

The Eastern King beside sighed, "I never thought Zhunti’s strength would be so formidable as well; indeed, a Saint shouldn’t be underestimated."

Nüwa gracefully waved her hand, and several chairs floated over from afar, one landing beside him, the others falling by the side of several people.

Li Ping’an didn’t stand on ceremony, directly taking a seat beside Nüwa.

The Eastern King, Yao Ji, and Mu Ningning, who just walked over from the corner, expressed gratitude before seating themselves in front of the Holy Mother.

She calmly said, "I did not exert full force with Zhunti; we were merely probing each other. Zhunti’s sixteen feet golden body secret technique has substantially improved. If he had unleashed this skill, I would also have to employ some bottom-drawer abilities."

"Your Highness is already very strong."

Li Ping’an also couldn’t find suitable adjectives, only saying:
