Immortal Father

The Eastern King said solemnly, "There should not be any hidden dangers; could it be that the Heavenly Emperor still does not trust Qing Yang?"

"It’s not that I don’t trust you; it’s just that this matter is too significant, those who understand know, and it absolutely cannot be spread outside."

Li Dazhi looked troubled, his eyes shifted, and he felt that what the Eastern King said made sense.

The Eastern King was one of his own and was practicing in the Casting Cloud Sect, loyal and devoted to Ping’an, and Li Ping’an’s way of resolving issues was somewhat extraordinary.

Li Dazhi pondered repeatedly and sighed:

"It’s better to tell you, anyway, we still need to send news to the Jade Pool later. Once the child is born, it probably can’t be concealed."

"Ping’an’s solution is actually to have a child."

"Ah? The Heavenly Emperor giving birth? A man being pregnant?"

The Eastern King was unable to stay calm, his eyes filled with shock:

"This matter is truly incredible!"

Li Dazhi:...

"No, he’s not sacrificing that much!"

"It’s about having a normal child, collaborating with my daughter-in-law, and together nurturing an offspring!"

The Eastern King breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "You could have just said it directly."

"Who knew you’d think this way!"

Li Dazhi briefly explained the matter of the Heavenly Dao Infant Spirit, and the Eastern King took out the Eight Trigrams Plate and started calculating, his brows sometimes relaxing, sometimes furrowing.

After a moment, the Eastern King said solemnly:

"The matter is not completely resolved, the Heavenly Dao has only postponed its actions, the Heavenly Tribulation is bound to be established."

"However, this is much better than the current situation, we are not completely unprepared, and we can also gradually let the Qi Cultivators accept this matter."

"As for the reincarnation of the Incarnation of Heavenly Path..."

"Does the Eastern King think there’s something wrong?"

"Not exactly wrong, whatever the Old Lord arranges shouldn’t have any major issues."

The Eastern King spoke in a deep voice:

"May I speak a word of misfortune, if one day, His Majesty faces an unforeseen event... the possibility is extremely low, I’m just speaking hypothetically."

"Then this child inherits the position of Heavenly Emperor, wouldn’t the Heavenly Dao and Heavenly Court be entirely in his control?"

"Even if he transforms into a human, his starting point is so high, primordial beings are hard to match, he will definitely soon become a great expert in the world, if he turns evil, how can the Heavenly Court restrain him?"

"These few issues, we must prepare in advance."

Li Dazhi laughed, "I think you’re overthinking it, let’s all put in some effort, pay more attention, carefully teach this child... how about we think of a name in advance?"

"You’re too eager; it might not even be conceived yet, and we don’t know if it’s a male Heavenly Dao or female Heavenly Dao, how to think of a name."

"Prepare two names in advance, just in case it doesn’t work?"

The Eastern King was torn between laughter and tears.

The two influential ministers of the Heavenly Court started whispering, actually beginning to study the name and title of the Heavenly Emperor’s child.

Li Dazhi then remembered something, sending a message to Casting Cloud Sect informing Qing Su not to wait there and to hurry back to the Heavenly Court, and asking Xiaoyue and Wen Rou to transfer their affairs to trusted subordinates within ten months and then come to the Heavenly Court.

She invited Xiaoyue and Wen Rou to come, naturally to prepare for confinement.

Qing Su had previously said to wait for Li Ping’an at Casting Cloud Sect, actually based on her judgment of Li Ping’an’s character.

She anticipated that the matter of Heavenly Dao pushing the Heavenly Tribulation was inevitable, and Li Ping’an wouldn’t abandon living beings, leaving only two possibilities in the end.

The first possibility is that Li Ping’an would go to great lengths to prevent this matter.

The second possibility is that Li Ping’an lets go.

Regardless of the possibility, Li Ping’an probably would forsake the position of Heavenly Emperor, and Casting Cloud Sect would be Li Ping’an’s homecoming.

She was waiting at Casting Cloud Sect for her disciple, ready to comfort and encourage at the first moment.

Furthermore, Qing Su had prepared a simple and elegant long skirt to wear, ready with fruit wine strong enough to make a Golden Immortal slightly tipsy.

The only thing she hadn’t calculated was;

The matter was resolved.

After receiving Li Dazhi’s message, Qing Su stood silently in front of the window for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.

The snow fluttered outside the window, taking away someone’s sigh.

...

And after half a day.

The storm of the Heavenly Tribulation came quickly and settled swiftly.

Experts adept at calculations soon announced externally that the calamity of the Heavenly Tribulation had been resolved.

The Heavenly Emperor’s promise to the Qi Cultivators had been fulfilled.

The Qi Cultivators spread the word excitedly, constantly praising the Heavenly Emperor’s wisdom;

Most Qi Cultivators gathered at the Southern Celestial Gate and East Celestial Gate have dispersed, not forgetting to pay respects to the Heavenly Court before leaving, expressing their previous offenses.

The turmoil among the Intercepting Sect Immortals was also calmed, and their evaluation of the Heavenly Emperor rose significantly.

Moreover, many people with intent spread rumors.

Saying, this storm of the Heavenly Tribulation was orchestrated by the Heavenly Emperor to test the bottom line of the Qi Cultivators, now the bottom line was understood, so the Heavenly Tribulation was withdrawn, harvesting a wave of reputation.

Some said the Heavenly Emperor paid a heavy price, ultimately forcing the Heavenly Dao to abandon the Heavenly Tribulation by threatening death.

Others claimed there was no Heavenly Tribulation at all, it was just some strong gods with high cosmic serial numbers making a false move, aiming to make all beings trust the Heavenly Emperor more...

And so on.

These noises, though harsh, did not affect the overall situation, and the heavenly immortals did not intervene much.

The entire Heavenly Court was immersed in the atmosphere of ’surviving a catastrophe’, and its operation was slightly sluggish.

Within the Jade Pool.

The Queen Mother of the West reclined on her throne, constantly calculating the situation of the Heavenly Dao.

She knew that the Taiqing Saint had intervened to resolve such troublesome matters like the Heavenly Tribulation, and surely it had something to do with what had happened in the neighboring sleeping palace the past few days, but she did not know specifically how the trouble was dissolved.

Besides, the Queen Mother of the West heard some other news.

For instance, the Heavenly Emperor will have offspring, and this offspring must be pure-blooded Human Race, this child will be a future powerhouse, the great savior of the world.
