Chapter 428 So Nanzhou(1/2)
There really is nothing wrong with this secret place.
After careful inspection, Li Ping'an, Hou Tu, and Yao Chi came to the same conclusion.
According to the Faceless Man of Tiandao, Tiandao has been protecting this place, and no new spiritual power has appeared in the sea of blood.
Perhaps the matter of the demon infant really has nothing to do with the sea of blood.
Li Dazhi also checked around properly. He wrapped the sleeping baby girl with his magic power, but the latter did not respond at all, and even made a slight cry from the tip of his nose...
Yaochi said softly: "Excluding this place, the source of the problem should be in Nanzhou."
"With Uncle Zhao leading the team, there shouldn't be any trouble."
Li Ping'an lowered his head and thought, and some inspiration quickly flashed through his heart.
Is it possible that the demon baby comes from the ‘gene mutation’ of the human race itself?
Or maybe Nanzhou is doing too many human sacrifices and causing trouble?
On the side, Huangdi Xuanyuan gently stroked Yuan Tujian and said slowly: "Since we have come to the Blood Sea, it would be a bit dissatisfying not to say hello to Patriarch Styx. Please wait for me for a moment."
After saying this, Huangdi Xuanyuan pointed his left hand forward, and the Xuanyuan sword came out of its scabbard and brought out the ten thousand feet of rays of light to cut through the sea of blood.
His Majesty the Human Emperor's eyes were filled with flames. He held the Xuanyuan Sword in his left hand and the Yuantu Sword in his right hand. He looked like a comet crossing the blood sea and headed straight for the Shura tribe's largest underwater city cave in the north of the blood sea.
"Brother, be careful!"
Li Ping'an greeted: "Dapeng goes to protect the Human Emperor. If we lose, we will retreat!"
"yes!"
The Dapeng bird accepted the order with its hands raised, then transformed into its true form, flashed to Xuanyuan Huangdi's head and kept circling.
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "It's rare that our Emperor, despite his age, still maintains such strong fighting power... Ping An, you can learn from others, this is the confidence of the three thousand in the harem!"
Li Ping'an squeezed a perfunctory smile, looked at the direction Xuanyuan Huangdi left, and murmured:
"I don't know when I will be as strong as my senior brother."
Yaochi said softly: "Your Majesty's strength has improved too quickly. If I go to listen to the Transcendent One's lectures a few more times, I'm afraid I won't be your Majesty's opponent."
Li Ping'an suddenly held his head high and his chest began to exude a little aura of the Emperor of Heaven.
Li Dazhi looked at the baby girl wrapped in Xianli and sighed: "These babies are quite pitiful. What did they do? They were tricked into being like this."
Houtu sighed quietly, took the initiative to hug the baby girl, and said softly: "Your Majesty, can you please agree to one thing?"
"Is it about the disposal of these demon babies?"
Li Pingan said slowly:
"This matter is left to Taoist friends and father to handle together.
"The most important thing now is to prevent more demon babies from being born. The number of existing demon babies is not too many. The world is huge and can give them a space to grow and a chance to heal."
Hou Tu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Fellow Taoist," Li Ping'an cupped his hands and didn't say anything more.
The great witch Jiang Da put his hands in his sleeves and wondered: "I have never heard of such a thing from ancient times to the present."
The other three great witches also spoke one after another:
"Someone must be up to something!"
"Didn't that Venerable Misfortune escape to the Sea of Chaos? Could it be that he secretly poisoned me?"
"Do you think the Xuandu Archmage who is showing the gate to Honghuang is just a decoration? How could the Xuandu Archmage let Lord Anan come back again? This thing actually encourages the innate gods and demons to attack us."
"If you want to enter our ancient wilderness, is Xuandu City the only way?"
"That's not true, the formation is there."
Li Pingan smiled and said: "Based on the current situation, there is indeed only one way to Xuandu City, otherwise the innate gods and demons would have come in to cause trouble..."
He suddenly froze for a moment, then murmured.
"road?"
Li Ping'an lowered his head and looked at the spring. Regardless of the image of the Emperor of Heaven, he squatted beside the spring and reached into it.
The avenue of all living beings reacted spontaneously, and wisps of fairy light merged into the spring water, and faint bubbles emerged from it.
There is a shadow of a fetus in each bubble, and each fetus is in normal condition and has not transformed into a demonic infant.
And after these springs stay here for a few times, they will disappear into the darkness.
Li Ping'an suddenly said: "Do you think there will be some passages, maybe opened by the highway, maybe formed naturally, connecting here and the surface?"
Houtu and Yaochi each looked over.
Yaochi asked: "Do you suspect there is a problem with this passage?"
"It's very simple, just eliminate it."
Li Pingan said quickly:
"Judging from the number and proportion of demon infants, they are distributed discontinuously in the mortal world of the East and West continents. Moreover, when the human race is stationed with immortal soldiers patrolling everywhere, demon infants can continue to be born. This basically rules out that they are evil cultivators.
Poison.
"If all the babies in a city turned into demon babies, then the first thing we would think of is that some evil cultivators must have used some secret method to attack these pregnant women in the city.
"But neither of the parents of the demon baby have any problems. The problems all arise in the baby itself.
"The fetus is still in a congenital state when it is born in the mother's womb, so there must be a problem somewhere before the fetus is born.
"The Blood Sea Secret Land is normal, but what about the path that transports the pregnant spirit away from here?"
Hou Tu said: "Compared to the babies born in the human race, the pregnant spirits produced here only account for 34%. Most babies are the spiritual spirits of the self produced in the mother's body."
"I know this."
Li Pingan muttered for a few times:
"The innate environment that babies live in is relatively closed, and the number of these demon babies born now is not large.
"Can this path be detected using the great avenue or magical powers?"
The immortals and witches here looked at each other in confusion.
"Let me do it."
Li Ping'an took a deep breath, sat cross-legged and meditated next to the spring, and made a joke to lighten the atmosphere:
"I used the way of heaven as a guide to see if I could find a way to transport the pregnant spirit.
"If I had done this, the merit would be mine."
Yaochi was about to respond.
Suddenly, there was a roaring sound in the sky in the north, and dozens of blood-colored light pillars shot up into the sky, with nine golden dragons looming among them. The young emperor surrounded by golden dragons moved forward without hesitation, stirring up the wind and clouds of the blood sea, and fighting against the eight-armed Shura. He was very unhappy.
Ancestor Minghe soon appeared, yelled angrily, and fought with Huangdi Xuanyuan.
The remaining accounts of the Battle of Xizhou have not yet been settled, but unfortunately the Styx has the magical power of "the sea of blood never dries up, and the Styx never dies".
Xuanyuan Huangdi was just taking revenge today, holding the Yuan Tu Sword to disgust Ancestor Styx.
Beside the secret spring, before Li Ping'an entered meditation, he did not forget to say:
"Everyone, please observe carefully, don't let Senior Brother Xuanyuan suffer, and take a look to see if any remaining Inner Heaven Dao gods show up."
Yaochi immediately cheered up after hearing this.
Several veterans who followed Huangdi Xuanyuan looked at him from a distance and were ready to respond. They must have received Huangdi Xuanyuan's order and did not go forward to join the battle.
Li Ping'an didn't do what he thought, and his mind returned to the Yuan Shen, who escaped into the Lingxiao Palace.
Only the last sesame-sized spot was missing, the Emperor's Seal was filled with colorful rays of light, and the faceless man of Heaven in gray robes stood aside.
Li Ping'an's Yuanshen passed by with his left hand, and all the spiritual treasures were suspended around him, and the power of heaven protected him.
"Spend some merit and reveal the principles of this place."
The faceless man tapped forward slightly, and the spring eye was projected in front of Li Ping'an. Then the shadow of the spring eye collapsed, revealing a colorful space.
The sea of principles.
The so-called Sea of Dao is the bottom layer of the prehistoric world, the place where three thousand great tools are represented, and it is also the secret realm where Taiyi realm and Daluo realm masters can understand the great Tao.
Although Li Ping'an's Dao realm has not reached Taiyi, he has the Dao of Heaven 'accelerating' beside him and has merits that can be continuously consumed. He can read the sea of Dao principles more easily than an ordinary Daluo Jinxian.
Li Ping'an's celestial consciousness penetrated into it, and he felt as if he was in a strange and bizarre world.
He understood it piece by piece and immersed himself in it.
After a while, Li Ping'an used the Xuantian Tower. The Xuantian Tower consumed the power of merit and began to slow down the flow of time for his soul.
He felt that after an hour, the years outside were just passing by for a few breaths.
Li Dazhi looked at Li Pingan, who was wrapped in obscure Taoist rhymes, with emotion in his eyes.
'Ping An is becoming more and more capable.'
