On the clouds returning to Dongzhou, all the masters were silent.
Li Ping'an said that he was a little confused and his mood was a little complicated.
What is this called?
He happily defeated the staged 'boss', and then the 'big villain before clearing the level' suddenly jumped out and dealt them a blow, just to say:
'You are not qualified to be my opponent.'
'Your world will inevitably fail, and then I will take away the corpses of your world.'
'All your efforts are in vain.'
This is too unprofessional.
But then again...
When it came to invading the ancient world, Li Ping'an felt that his father and his wife were no less generous.
He is a young man from Earth who came over with great luck, and now he has become a quasi-Celestial Emperor. If there are not too big troubles in the future, he can still marry the Queen Mother of the West, establish the Heavenly Palace in the Nine Heavens, embrace his childhood sweetheart on his left, and hold the Heavenly Princess on his right.
The pinnacle of immortality.
Li Ping'an clicked his tongue in his heart, his eyes a little more reverie.
Taoist Duobao smiled and said, "Did we know something we shouldn't know?"
Gui Lingling sighed dejectedly: "Suddenly I feel so boring. Will we inevitably die together with the world in the future?"
"Peace," Guangchengzi asked with a frown, "those sentences said by the phantom are about the time limit for the death of heaven and earth. How should we interpret them?"
Master Yuding also said: "Being a god, traveling to the west... what is this?"
A bunch of thoughts quickly passed through Li Ping'an's mind.
He can't always say that this is the order in which a series of fairy tales from his hometown happened.
"Being a god means that the heaven canonizes the righteous god."
Li Ping'an quickly made up his mind.
Now that the Western religion is declining, the next step will be the expansion and rise of Heavenly Court, and there will be no further wars between Heaven and Earth. If there is going to be trouble, it will probably be the friction between the two religions due to the Dao Immortal Tribulation.
This is the right time to give all the masters of the three Taoist religions a breath of fresh air.
Li Pingan sighed:
"Originally I didn't want to tell you this to all the masters and uncles, but now that the transcendent person has exposed it, I won't hide it from you either.
"The God-conferring Tribulation refers to the Taoist Immortal Tribulation descended by Heaven after the Heavenly Court was established.
"The reason why the Dao Immortal Tribulation will occur will not be elaborated too much. The Heavenly Dao returns to the Great Dao and gathers the power of living beings. After the Great Tribulation of the Gods, Heaven will obtain the perfect number of the Righteous God. The Six Saints of Heaven and the prosperous Heaven will make Heaven's Dao
Constantly transforming.
"This is also the challenge you will face next."
Master Taiyi murmured: "So, you are the one who will preside over the Tao Immortal Tribulation and the God Conferring Tribulation?"
Li Ping'an hurriedly shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"If I want to harm you, why should I keep thinking of ways to do good to you.
"It's just that it is an inevitable trend for the way of heaven to return to the hands of living beings. The disaster of becoming a god is just ahead. As a disciple of the Tao sect, there are only two things I can do for the sect."
Zhao Gongming asked: "What two things?"
"The first is to let the great catastrophe kill as few Taoist immortals as possible."
Li Pingan sighed:
"The second is that Taoist immortals who can enter the heaven will have a good immortal class treatment and living environment in the future."
All the immortals smiled.
Guangchengzi said: "Whether it is the Taoist tribulation or the divine tribulation, there is no difference in essence between the two. We should not embarrass His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."
Duobao also said: "Tiandao wants to take back the power of the great road in the hands of living beings, but it just wants Taiyi and Daluo Jinxian to die. When the catastrophe comes, each of the two families can do it according to their own abilities."
The Archmage frowned and said, "There should be other solutions here."
The immortals looked at Li Pingan, but Li Pingan just pursed his lips, frowned, and groaned a few times.
Li Ping'an said: "There are indeed other solutions, but I don't know if you can accept them."
"Peace is what you say."
"Take the initiative to become an official in Heaven," Li Ping'an sighed. "To be precise, you are becoming a heavenly slave who is not limited to the Tao body, but is limited to the Dao. However, your Dao is tied to the Heavenly Court and becomes a pillar of the Heavenly Dao. You lose yourself."
Partial freedom means that you have to do errands for the way of heaven and be bound by the way of heaven, so that the number of catastrophes will be reduced."
All the immortals were silent.
Li Pingan said seriously: "This does not represent my position, this is the path I can provide."
Zhao Gongming shook his head: "In this case, everyone should rely on their own abilities to survive the disaster. It doesn't make much sense to abandon one's own path just to survive."
Guangchengzi also said: "Your Majesty has taken the trouble."
"Alas," the Archmage smiled gently and calmly dismissed such a topic.
He asked: "Then what calamity is the journey to the west?"
"The way of heaven is revealed..."
Li Ping'an despised himself from the bottom of his heart, but the reason "Heaven told me" really worked.
"Journey to the West is actually a small tribulation after the heyday of Heaven. I don't know the specific details. It is probably when Heaven perfects itself and reaches perfection, and then Heaven and Earth will enter its final stage?
"I will ask Heavenly Dao in detail about this matter later, and if I find anything out, I will let you know.
"Why does the transcendent person say that self-consciousness will be born when the way of heaven is perfected? Isn't the way of heaven sexless? If the way of heaven gives birth to self-consciousness, wouldn't I be useless?"
"Hahaha!"
Taoist Duobao clapped his hands and laughed:
"Wonderful! If that doesn't work, your majesty, my nephew, you can switch to our interception teaching, and we will take you to intercept a glimmer of hope!"
Li Ping'an's heart moved, and he said seriously: "Don't believe everything that the transcendent person said today."
"Oh?" the Archmage asked, "Why can't you fully believe it?"
"He probably said a lot of things to us on purpose to make us give up on ourselves."
Li Pingan thought quickly in his heart and said slowly:
"This is just like how Tiandao always says that it has no sex, but Tiandao itself still gives birth to personality.
"This transcendent person has always said that he is waiting for this world to become a corpse, but... if this world can continue to prosper and even reach perfection, will he give up the years of waiting?
“A transcendent person may not care about time after leaving the tangible world, but after entering heaven and earth, won’t he no longer feel the changes of time?
"There are three more fallacies here."
All the immortals frowned and listened quietly.
Taoist Taiqing and Hongjun, who were far away in the sea of chaos, were also looking at Li Ping'an's figure carefully at this moment.
Li Pingan said:
“The first fallacy is that he said he would not interfere with the trend of the world.
"By recruiting disciples, Yin and Zhunti, and inducing Senior Hongjun to give up Hedao, aren't they all interfering with the trend of heaven and earth?
"What's more, he was behind the promotion of the six leaders' sanctification. Such interference is already very strong and cannot be ignored at all.
"He must have his own purpose here."
All the immortals nodded, they could think of this, but the other two fallacies did not know where they came from.
Li Pingan said again:
"The second fallacy is that he said that Pangu Hengyi and other similar prehistoric worlds.
"This Dao is mysterious. I am in a low realm so I don't know the details, but the Dao of Heaven has told me one thing, that is... there is not just one model of the prehistoric world.
"There must be other heavens and earths in this tangible world, such as stars tens of thousands of miles long and countless creatures living on them, etc.
"The transcendent person should know this, but he deliberately hides it, only emphasizing that the prehistoric world will be destroyed, and deliberately not mentioning other possibilities.
"He just wanted to break our morale."
All the immortals had different expressions.
The Archmage asked: "Third?"
"The third fallacy lies in what he said was his own purpose."
Li Pingan sighed softly:
"I just suddenly thought that if he wanted to collect the original power of heaven and earth, that is, some kind of spiritual power that remained after the death of heaven and earth, then why did he come here to wait in ancient times?
"If there are multiple prehistoric worlds, then their respective processes must be different.
"Wouldn't it be better for him to choose a world where he will soon complete his life cycle and wait?
"Pangu is one, so heaven and earth are one. The only difference may be the deviation in the development of heaven and earth, which leads to the existence of different development routes... I don't understand this very well, and I may try to understand it later.
“A transcendent person can transcend its original world, but that doesn’t mean it can enter other worlds at will.
"These three fallacies are enough to prove that this guy is full of lies and has no credibility.
"We should regard him as the biggest hidden danger in the world, and cannot ignore his existence... The six leaders will not return until a thousand years later. I don't know what will happen in these thousand years, so I should prepare in advance."
Duobao frowned and said: "This is a transcendent person. Even if he is full of lies, his identity as a transcendent person is recognized by Master Hongjun. I am afraid that the disciples of the three religions combined may not be able to defeat him. We can only wait for the master and others to come back."
"
"Actually, it doesn't matter."
Li Ping'an's smile was a little bitter:
"We still have a way of heaven that has not yet been perfected."
All the immortals smiled.
Now that they have returned to the sky above Dongzhou, the senior brothers of the three religions surrendered to each other and said goodbye to Li Ping'an for the time being.
Gui Lingling consciously stayed by Li Ping'an's side.
Hou Tu stood quietly behind Li Ping'an and stared at the horizon, lost in thought.
Gui Lingling looked at the three white clouds that were leaving each other, and whispered: "Master's nephew, are we really going to fight to the death between the two sects in the future?"
"High probability."
"Then, is there any way to save a few deaths?"
"Yes," Li Ping'an thought of the Heavenly Book of Gods List that he didn't know where. "I don't dare to say anything nonsense. Go back. I was disturbed by Ran Deng and the transcendent person, and I lost a lot of insights in vain."
Gui Lingling was a little unhappy.
Li Ping'an looked as usual, but his eyes were a little more worried.
He is not worried about the end of heaven and earth. He has no sense of this grand narrative.
He was worried about the golden cloud of heaven that lived in his spiritual platform.
'Why do I always feel like I will be killed by the will of heaven?'
Li Ping'an thought about it worriedly.
…
Sea of Chaos, Zixiao Palace.
Taiqing stared at the departing figures of Li Ping'an, Gui Lingling, and Hou Tu in the cloud mirror.
Tai Qing's skinny face was a little more thoughtful, and there was still a smile that had not completely passed away at the corner of his mouth.
Taoist Hongjun sighed with a dark face: "That guy really can't bear his temper. He said so much in front of a group of juniors."
"teacher."
Taiqing looked directly at Hongjun:
"There are two destinations in heaven and earth, one is life and the other is death. The living are eternal and the dead disappear.
"This is the only solution to the great road.
"Self-detachment is nothing more than illusion."
Taoist Hongjun sneered: "Do you think, fellow Taoist, there is still hope for this world?"
"Yes," Taiqing said, "but now I only have one question."
"Just say it."
Taiqing asked: "If there is a chance for heaven and earth to enter eternity, will the teacher stop it for the sake of the chance of transcendence promised by others?"
Taoist Hongjun wanted to speak but stopped.
Taiqing nodded slightly, and the shadow shook slightly, then disappeared.
The light pillar where Taiqing's body was located returned to calm.
Taoist Hongjun looked at the chessboard and then at where Taiqing was, and couldn't help but frown and curl his lips.
"How come I turned into a bad spirit in the end? Is it wrong to pursue self-transcendence? It's true."
…
Li Ping'an thought about it and decided to talk to his father about today's events.
After Li Dazhi listened to the complete account, he was a little confused.
The owner of the burning lamp;
The transcendent person who influenced Hongjun;
The spirit in the coffin waits for the world to end and then steals things;
The summary of this information made Li Dazhi feel so shocked that he stood up and walked around without saying a word for half an hour.
Finally, Li Ping'an couldn't help but said: "Dad, please stop spinning around, I'm almost dizzy."
"Why is this world so restless?"
Li Dazhi sighed:
"What you're saying is that Western religion is on its last legs. It will take a few hundred years for steady development to establish the Heavenly Palace, but then another transcendent person pops up."
Li Ping'an took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "Don't be too afraid. The enemy of this transcendent person is actually the Taoist ancestor of the Sanqing. The mission of the Sanqing is to protect the world, and we are just little shrimps."
"well!"
Li Dazhi put his hands in his sleeves, returned to Li Ping'an, frowned and said, "What do you think of Ping'an?"
"What do you think?"
"That is, the future, saving the world, and so on."
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Do your best, treat the Emperor of Heaven as a job, and enjoy life. If you have the opportunity to play a small role in the perfection of this world, then go all out. If you can't do it, forget it.
.”
"No, you are a young man, why are you so negative in your thoughts?"
Li Dazhi slapped the table:
"We must work hard to change the world! If we have a chance of survival, we must fight!
"This is what young people should look like."
Li Ping'an smiled and sighed: "That's your generation, my generation, it's great if you can live a good life."
Li Dazhi clicked his tongue, not knowing what to say.
Li Ping'an said: "This matter cannot be rushed, and it cannot be rushed. Before the return of the Six Cult Leaders, we'd better just do our part and pull the heaven together."
"Well, now that heaven is helping us, there are no strong enemies outside, and there are few hidden worries within, we just need to develop ourselves first."
Li Dazhi said slowly:
"Dongzhou is engaged in business and Xizhou is engaged in industry. What I can do is the financial resources directly under Heavenly Court and the two self-propelled fairy armor production lines at Notre Dame Palace.
"What are your plans next?"
"I really have a lot to do, and I have to operate on multiple lines."
Li Ping'an thought for a while, his eyes became a little brighter, and he said unhurriedly:
"Continue to build a good relationship with the Longgu Realm, accelerate the plan to move the Small World, and in the next twenty years, we will first forge the Kongmeng Realm into a solid piece of iron.
"Cultivate talents internally, continue to fight externally, and take advantage of the Western Sect's heavy losses to seize the territory in the west, northwest, and north of the main world as soon as possible.
“First seize, then occupy, and then move. We cannot blindly seek stability in everything. We need to be more radical in this regard.
"We still need to find a few capable ministers who can stand alone in the future. Fenghou still has to go through a period of growth. This is such a waste of his talent... Dad, if you want another child, it's best to give it to me.
Give birth to a sister."
Li Dazhi glared and cursed: "What's going on? You can't survive on your own."
"Oh, how come Yang Jian was born!"
"That won't work. You want a sister just to make more Yang Jians in the heaven? Then I'll accept a righteous daughter!"
"That's okay," Li Ping'an said with a smile, "I won't pick it anyway."
"Do you really not care about the transcendent person?"
Li Ping'an shook his head slightly: "This is not an enemy we can deal with now. There are so many golden immortals in the ancient world, let alone..."
"What?"
"He doesn't even have a health bar, so all our worries are in vain. We need to be strategically determined."
Li Ping'an stood up and stretched, left the barrier, waved his hand and floated away in the clouds, and before leaving, he deliberately shouted:
"Dad, don't forget to have a baby!"
Li Dazhi's forehead is covered with black lines.
In fact, Li Pingan is not as relaxed as he appears on the surface.
He walked around Dong'an City, bought some rouge and gouache, and bought some pieces of silk and satin. Then he summoned the roc and sent him to the secret land of West Kunlun as a guest.
Nothing happened here.
Yaochi's attitude towards him was still proactive and gentle, but it did not launch as fierce an offensive as the female demon.
Li Ping'an personally gave the gift, which was considered to have appeased Yaochi, and then he secretly returned to the Kongmeng Realm for retreat with his master, Gui Ling, Huang Long Zhenren, Hou Tu, and some of the Tiannu Guards.
This retreat, Li Ping'an said, would last for at least three years, or at most ten years, and would not allow outsiders.
In fact, he will not stay behind closed doors, and will show up regularly every month to handle heavenly affairs and accompany his Taoist companions.
After he returned to the heavenly residence in the Kongmeng Realm, he and Mu Ningning had a warm relationship and missed each other. Then he entered a large hall with many formations alone and sat quietly in front of the portrait of the Sanqing Taoist Patriarch.
"call--"
Li Ping'an sighed softly, his mind returned to the spiritual platform, and his soul looked towards the golden cloud above.
"Fellow Taoist, it's time for us to have a serious talk."
