Chapter 1506: Chapter 542: Illusions and Reality, Truth and Falsehood
The land of the Tien Hu clan, Niu Benben’s exclusive pavilion.
A group of Tien Hu clan elders bowed their heads tremblingly and retreated, closing the door as they left.
The thick power of the Heavenly Dao enveloped this place.
In the main hall of the pavilion, Li Ping’an sat cross-legged on the main seat, leisurely peeling a spirit fruit similar to mangosteen. The layer of immortal light covering him gradually receded, revealing his true form.
Niu Benben, now freed from the sealing spell set by the Nine-tailed Fox, stood awkwardly to the side with his head down.
He had truly suffered a great loss this time!
This Nine-tailed Fox was indeed difficult to deal with. Niu Benben’s cultivation realm was already inferior to the Nine-tailed Fox, not to mention her enchanting divine skills.
The Nine-tailed Fox had already awakened, bound like a dumpling by immortal ropes, sitting in front.
Her face showed sorrow, her alluring figure seemed weak and boneless, appearing pitiful and as if she had just been wronged by the person in front.
Li Ping’an swore to the heavens that aside from beating her up, he did nothing else.
Facing the Dao Body of this Nine-tailed Fox, he indeed had a slight ripple in his heart, but it was just the normal reaction of a man, like in his past life when he would glance at women dressed in revealing clothes in the mall a few more times.
He generally had a bottom line as a person.
“What is your name?”
Li Ping’an asked without lifting his head.
The Nine-tailed Fox seemed to have thought of a way to respond, and she lowered her head, speaking in a coy tone:
“Whatever you wish to call me, I’ll be called that.”
Li Ping’an nodded, and with his left hand facing upward, the Yuan Tu Sword split the universe on its own and floated above the Nine-tailed Fox’s head.
This treasure of the Slaughter Path hovered above the Nine-tailed Fox, with the sword tip only three inches from her forehead.
Buzz—
The Yuan Tu Sword continually trembled.
The Nine-tailed Fox, too, recognized its worth, with a bit of shock in her beautiful eyes, she said in awe:
“Are you from the Minghe lineage?”
“What nonsense!”
Niu Benben glared angrily:
“The Minghe Patriarch was nothing but a defeated subordinate of His Majesty! The one before you is the current Heavenly Emperor, ruler of the Three Realms!
“There are six Saints of the Heavenly Dao in the world now, and His Majesty is the strongest beyond the Six Saints!”
The Nine-tailed Fox paused in surprise.
She looked at the Yuan Tu Sword, a few thoughts flashing through her eyes, then pretended to be pitiful again.
Li Ping’an frowned as he looked at Niu Benben: “Are you healed? Go rest by the side.”
“Ah, yes, yes,” Niu Benben nodded obsequiously, “How about I guard the door outside?”
“Just stay here, if you guard outside, it might be misunderstood.”
Li Ping’an waved his hand.
Niu Benben quickly retreated to the side, bowing his head to pretend to be a statue.
The Nine-tailed Fox smiled, retracting her enchanting skills, and appeared gentler and more virtuous.
She said, “So the newly appointed Heavenly Emperor has graced us with his presence. I was sealed by the East Emperor Taiyi for seventeen to eighteen thousand years and have become somewhat senile, please forgive any offences.”
“Sometimes it’s you, sometimes it’s I, and sometimes it’s this humble self.”
Li Ping’an said indifferently:
“Your self-references change quite swiftly, Fellow Daoist.”
The Nine-tailed Fox sighed softly: “Sentient beings admire the strong, that’s just natural. Facing such a formidable Heavenly Emperor, how could I dare put on airs? I can only wag my tail and plead for your mercy.”
“Do you have a history with the East Emperor Taiyi?”
“As you say, the East Emperor Taiyi was the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, I was just a little fox trying to survive during chaotic times.”
The Nine-tailed Fox sighed lightly, with a hint of grievance in her eyes:
“There was roughly a connection.
“He once wandered the mortal world as an incarnation, I met him inadvertently, and then it was indeed my foolish infatuation, harboring some feelings in my heart.
“I didn’t expect the East Emperor Taiyi to be indifferent to women, in the end, it was an unrequited love.”
The Yuan Tu Sword descended half an inch, the Slaughter Path approaching the Nine-tailed Fox’s Primordial Spirit.
The Nine-tailed Fox’s lips trembled tightly, her snow-white skin shivering slightly, it was the trembling of the Primordial Spirit.
Li Ping’an took a slice of spirit fruit and chewed it lightly.
The Yuan Tu Sword seemed about to drop directly, the Nine-tailed Fox blurted out: “He is my teacher!”
“Oh?” Li Ping’an was indeed a bit surprised, “The East Emperor Taiyi is your teacher?”
“Yes, I am a nominal disciple accepted by one of his incarnations.”
The Nine-tailed Fox smiled bitterly:
“This story is long and dull, I’ll just say it simply.
“He took in a little fox, enlightened its wisdom, and raised it into an immortal.
“The little fox initially didn’t know its teacher was the East Emperor Taiyi, only that he was refined, the best creature in the world to her.
“Later, as the little fox wandered the world, she was pursued madly by those butterflies, thus becoming a bit arrogant, thinking her purity was the rarest treasure in the world, wanting to offer it to her teacher, but ended up angering the teacher and was slapped, expelled from the school.
“Afterwards, the little fox found a group of foxes, taught them cultivation, and established the Tien Hu clan.
“At that time, the little fox harbored resentment and began to make things difficult for the teacher everywhere, only later learning that the East Emperor Taiyi was the teacher’s true identity.
“The little fox wanted to rush to the Daluo Golden Immortal, to confront him, asking why he was so heartless.
“Or maybe the little fox thought, only by reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal would he take a serious look at her.
“Between these two reasons, the little fox didn’t know which weighed heavier.
“So she did those wrong things, drawing her admirers into the formation… You saw how it went.
“He was the Heavenly Emperor, others dared not punish the little fox, so he personally dropped a sword, sealing her for fifty thousand years, and then he perished.”
