"However, I see that the source of power given to me by fellow Taoist disciples seems to be higher than what I get from normal cultivation..."
"More advanced?"
Taoist Baihua thought about his words and asked slowly.
Naturally, Li Ping would not tell Baihua that the reason why the effect of this source power is far better than ordinary is because he wants to use the power of faith of all living beings to sublimate the source power and turn it into the essence of the source power.
However, all current attempts have ended in failure.
After all, even the existence abandoned by the true immortal has power beyond the ordinary. It is not so easy to control.
"It's just my fellow Taoist's illusion. How is your recovery? It's almost done. Let's get on the road." Li Ping said calmly.
Taoist Baihua smiled awkwardly and had no other choice but to sigh and say goodbye and go away.
"After ensuring the absolute safety of the base camp, you can consider conquests on other small worlds."
"I know the specific location of each small world very well, and I can even sneak in directly and transfer the entrance to the void near Daqi."
"Spirit wood, empire..."
"And the Netherworld."
Just as Holy Emperor Li Ping returned to the Holy Throne, he was sitting and thinking about the future direction of the Holy Dynasty.
Disciple Sun Erlang asked to see him.
"Um, Master. An item I caught from the fishing pond before..." Sun Erlang looked a little uneasy.
"But it doesn't matter."
Immediately, Sun Erlang told the whole story.
It turns out that since the end of the last fishing competition, those fishermen who finally got rewards have basically been absorbed by various organizations in the Holy Dynasty.
One of them, a middle-aged man named Quan Ruochu, was valued by Sun Erlang and took him under his command.
What he caught from the fishing pond was a ball of white light.
At that time, Li Ping personally inspected it and found that it was an ordinary object called "Orchid and Dark Flower", so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But at this moment, according to Sun Erlang, this orchid and dark flower, which on the surface was only of the highest Yuan Ying level quality, after Quan Ruochu's careful cultivation for a period of time, actually showed abilities that were completely inconsistent with common sense.
"Quan Ruochu, although he has reached middle age, has accomplished nothing. Both his parents are dead, and he has no wife or children. The only love in his life is fishing and raising flowers. He has an indifferent temperament and has no ambition. So after catching the white ball of light,
He is not that depressed. He even likes this orchid flower more than other treasures."
"I originally thought that this dark orchid flower was like a normal flower, growing in the soil and nourished by spiritual energy. But after Quan Ruochu planted it, no matter how carefully he took care of it, it was always dying and about to wither. Quan Ruochu loves flowers so much.
Ruochu, in order to save this orchid and dark flower, he actually did something unbelievable." Sun Erlang bowed his head and narrated to the Holy Emperor in a low voice.
"He actually planted the orchid and dark flowers on himself! Using his own body as the soil, he fed it with his essence and blood..."
"In just a few days, he changed from a relatively strong man to a man of flesh and blood and as angry as a gossamer! But he still didn't give up and still planned to use his last effort to make a difference."
"I hadn't seen him for a few days. When I went to look for him, I saw a scene like this."
Sun Erlang's voice was low: "I originally wanted to eradicate this demonic flower directly, but Quan Ruochu forced me to do so at the risk of his own life, saying that the flower is where the person is, and the flower dies and the person dies..."
"And considering that this is always a treasure given by the master, I hesitated and did not take action. But seeing Quan Ruochu's body getting weaker and weaker, and he was not far away from death, the disciple could not stand by and watch."
The moment Sun Erlang spoke, Li Ping had already locked the location of Quan Ruochu and carefully checked the situation inside his body.
After all, it is just a blue light group, and there is nothing particularly mysterious about it. It is obvious at a glance.
After waiting for Sun Erlang to finish speaking, Li Ping shook his head with a solemn tone.
"Erlang, you disappoint me so much."
Sun Erlang's body trembled slightly, and his head lowered to the ground.
"A commander should lead the entire army and not let his emotions waver for an individual, or even for a small group of dozens or hundreds."
"Is this the first time you've taken the initiative to ask to see me since you became my disciple? And it's just for this reason?"
After being silent for a long time, Sun Erlang said solemnly: "Master, I see clearly. If he died in an instant, I might be indifferent. But watching the life of a familiar person slowly being sucked out and withering away before my eyes, I really cannot keep peace in my heart."
"I hope Master will punish me."
Li Ping's voice roared continuously, like divine thunder in the sky, echoing in the Holy Throne.
"The reason why I am disappointed in you is not only because of your indecisiveness, but also because of your inability to distinguish right from wrong. Yaohua..."
"Go back and take a closer look!"
Li Ping waved his hand and drove Sun Erlang out.
Sun Erlang felt nervous at first, and then seemed to understand something. He was overjoyed and hurried to Quan Ruochu's residence.
After receiving some advice from his master, Sun Erlang observed carefully again and finally discovered the secret of the Orchid and Dark Flower.
Although on the surface, this orchid flower is constantly devouring Quan Ruochu's essence and blood, but at the same time, it differentiates a ray of magical power to keep Quan Ruochu's fire of life alive.
In this time between death and death, the orchids and dark flowers grow and grow.
At the same time, Quan Ruochu also slowly underwent a complete transformation.
"His slim chance of survival depends entirely on this dark orchid. If I had cut it off recklessly, it would have ended in death. I almost made a big mistake!" Sun Erlang couldn't help but feel scared.
The entrance was sealed and no outsiders were allowed to disturb. At the same time, a miniature [Heaven and Earth Oven] was moved nearby to ensure the concentration of spiritual energy in the surroundings.
After doing all this, Sun Erlang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks to Master for your guidance." He said somewhat happily.
But what Sun Erlang didn't know was that Orchid Dark Flower did protect Quan Ruochu and had a good heart.
But it's not gratitude for his planting, it's just the survival instinct before finding a new host.
Quan Ruochu, who had only cultivated in the Qi refining period, could not withstand the Orchid Dark Flower's unscrupulous absorption. Complete death would be a matter of time.
If there is no external help.
And the reason why he looks better and better is purely because of the help of Holy Emperor Li Ping.
"What is right and what is wrong, what is right and what is wrong."
"No one can make a correct evaluation until the final outcome is reached."
"Only by taking one step at a time and reaching the end can we rectify our own name."
"The process...is not important."
Holy Emperor Li Ping sat on the Holy Emperor's throne, his thoughts fluctuating slightly in his mind.
…
Endless white fog, in one of the lost areas.
"This...how many frozen corpses are there?"
Shang Shaojun, who was brought into the great formation of reversing life and death by the Holy Fetus Li Fan, looked at the horrifying scene in front of him and cried out.
