Huangdi Xuanyuan was lying in the newly built hot spring pool in Xuanyuan Palace, with a piece of cloth draped over his body and a handkerchief covering his face. He was looking leisurely and at ease.
At this moment, after hearing the reports from his personal guards, Emperor Xuanyuan could no longer relax.
"He went to heaven? And turned into a fairy?"
"Yes," the guard on the side couldn't help laughing, "it is said that Kong Xuan not only turned into a fairy, but also took the initiative to show his kindness to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven."
"Eh? That's weird."
Xuanyuan Huangdi sat up, and the handkerchief covering his face fell, revealing confusion on his face.
"You want to say that our Emperor of Heaven, who is not even half as handsome as me, is so attractive to powerful women? Kong Xuan has an arrogant temperament. If you say she is in love, that is absolutely impossible!
"Is there any news from heaven?"
The guard whispered: "According to what Dapeng said, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven is now the only hope for the reproduction of their Phoenix clan, and Kong Xuan is under the orders of Shi Feng."
Xuanyuan Huangdi leans back.
Shifeng? The only hope for reproduction?
Xuanyuan Huangdi frowned and said: "What does this mean? The Emperor of Heaven is our human race, and his future cubs will also be our human race's cubs. How can the Phoenix Clan interfere?"
The guard asked: "Your Majesty, will the human race put pressure on Heaven next?"
"What's the point of putting pressure on me? I've already retired."
Xuanyuan Huangdi curled his lips slightly:
"Continue to inquire, report any information immediately, and let people keep an eye on Kong Xuan.
"The Dragon Clan hasn't done anything yet, but the Phoenix Clan took action first... Is Ping An so manly?
"This shouldn't be the case."
All the guards lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
Xuanyuan Huangdi touched his chin and said with a smile:
"The Dragon Clan must be panicking now, hahaha! Kong Xuan suddenly went to heaven to be the marshal, and even tried to become the Taoist companion of the Emperor of Heaven. How wonderful!
"Come here, forget it, I'll send a jade talisman directly to Brother Yinglong."
"yes!"
The guards took the order and left in a hurry.
Xuanyuan Huangdi's guess was actually correct. Dragons gathered in the East China Sea Dragon Palace at this moment, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
…
East China Sea Dragon Palace.
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea and the high-ranking god of the water system in heaven, sat on the throne of the Dragon King, frowning and meditating. His long dragon beards fluttered silkily in the precious light reflected by the coral.
The three dragon kings of the West Sea, North Sea, and South Sea are pacing back and forth.
The dragon generals standing below had their faces full of melancholy and were thinking hard.
"The Phoenix Clan is determined to destroy our Dragon Clan!"
"We have just passed a little while, and we are about to resume reproduction, but the Phoenix Clan actually interferes at this time!"
"Hey! I'm going to fight that peacock!"
"quiet!"
Ao Guang said something in a deep voice, and the dragons quickly fell silent.
The Dragon King of the West Sea asked: "From top to bottom in our dragon clan, can't we find a pure dragon girl who is strong enough and is not yet married?"
All the dragons bowed their heads.
Not yet married is a respectable term.
Their dragon clan has been unable to hatch eggs for so many years, so where did the pure dragon girl come from?
An old woman from the dragon clan whispered: "His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven may not mind this kind of thing, right?"
A group of dragons stared over.
The old woman quickly lowered her head and said, "I guess you will mind. Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven, is the Supreme of the Three Realms, and the candidates for the harem should be pure."
The Dragon King of Beihai said: "We have more than thirty dragon eggs that can be hatched within a hundred years, and there are eighteen dragon girls inside... But now the peacock has taken the initiative to enter the heaven. She is extremely powerful and has a perfect body.
, the Emperor of Heaven needs such fighting power to suppress us... there is no time to compete with the peacock."
"Didn't we send a dragon egg to heaven? Isn't the dragon girl going to be born soon?"
"Didn't His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven say that he wants to accept disciples? That's no good."
"His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven likes more mature women, think of the Queen Mother."
The dragon old woman turned around and transformed into a plump dragon girl, with a delicate face and two jade-like dragon horns, which was somewhat charming.
Dragons:......
"Okay," the Dragon King of the East China Sea said with a frown, "Don't mess up your position. The dragon clan's contribution to heaven is much higher than that of the phoenix clan. It's not easy for the phoenix clan to overpower us."
"Brother!"
Beihai Dragon King Road:
“This matter cannot be ignored!
"The hundreds of tribes in the world are staring at us. If my Dragon Clan is stepped on by the Phoenix Clan in the future, even if my seat at the banquet is lowered, I will be laughed at by those weak tribes.
"The Phoenix Clan is already struggling to survive! The ancient winners should have been us!"
Ao Guang pondered for a few times: "Don't rush this matter. Send people to send more gifts and take care of it. If this peacock of the Feng clan behaves ambiguously with His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, you and I will go to heaven together and cry out in front of the Emperor of Heaven."
Yinglong's voice came from outside the palace:
"Don't worry, I have found out everything from the human race!
"The peacock was ordered by Shi Feng to go to the Emperor of Heaven to reproduce the bloodline of the Phoenix clan. The Emperor of Heaven avoided the peacock."
Ying Long's figure flashed into the hall, and except for the Dragon King of the Four Seas, all the dragons bowed their heads and saluted.
Ao Guang asked: "Is the news confirmed?"
"The news from Xuanyuan Palace is still credible," Yinglong said with a smile. "The Emperor of Heaven seemed to have benefited from some of the benefits left by Shi Feng when he rushed to the aid of the Feng Clan. However, such matters were kept secret by the Emperor of Heaven and no one dared to inquire."
"Shi Feng..."
Many old dragons looked at them with fear, and besides fear there was also a bit of inseparable fear.
Ying Long said: "Instead of crying to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, it is better to ask the Dragon Mother of the Four Seas to bring gifts and go to Yaochi to visit the Queen Mother of the West."
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Yinglong said again:
"I will write a letter later, saying that the overall situation of the world has been decided today. Any changes in the Emperor of Heaven will have far-reaching consequences. Please think twice before taking action.
"Don't worry, everyone.
"It is no secret that His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven and the female slave have a good relationship. The two often meet at Tianzhixu, but for the sake of the overall situation, the Emperor of Heaven did not marry the female slave.
"It is almost impossible for the Peacock Fairy to enter Yaochi. His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven will definitely consider the reaction of our dragon clan. Let's not make trouble next time, express our dissatisfaction appropriately, and frequently visit Yaochi."
All the dragons nodded and began to discuss how to give gifts to the Queen Mother.
They are hostile to the Phoenix Clan;
The Queen Mother is hostile to the woman who is spying on the Emperor of Heaven;
A natural ally.
…
Let’s not mention the Human Emperor’s surprise and the Dragon Clan’s worries for the moment.
Li Ping'an went to the Tianting R&D Center to listen to his teacher's sermons, drink and have fun, and then left half a month later.
He originally wanted to retreat here directly, but senior Xu Sheng said that everyone was unhappy with Li Ping'an here, so Li Ping'an had no choice but to leave here and go to Mu Ningning's dormitory.
Before going into retreat, Li Ping'an did not forget to tell Mu Ningning a few words:
"If that peacock fairy comes looking for you, dress up nicely and don't be too polite to her.
"She has a very high spirit. After being frustrated once or twice, she will naturally stop pestering me."
Mu Ningning smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, don't you like it? She is a powerful woman!"
"Am I such a philandering man?"
Li Ping'an spread his hands: "Junior sister, you should have unswerving faith in your husband's character."
Mu Ningning rolled her eyes playfully. She still exuded a sense of beauty in her practice clothes.
She said: "Then I will talk to my sister about this later and say that our Majesty avoids the Peacock Fairy."
"There are a lot of considerations here."
Li Pingan sighed:
"The proportion of the dragon clan's combat power in the heaven is too high. Dragons and phoenixes are at the same level as the policy that will not change in the future. How can I break this balance?
"The Peacock Fairy and the Dapeng Bird are both powerful, even higher than Houtu Daoist and Yaochi. The Dapeng Bird has extreme speed, and the Peacock Fairy has the five-color divine light. These are great magical powers. If your achievements are too high in the future, the human race
How many people can control it?
“Don’t let the Peacock Fairy be ambiguous with me;
"As long as a little gossip spreads out, the courtiers in heaven will be more afraid of their siblings.
"Whether you do this, or you do it with Yaochi, you must convey that the Emperor of Heaven has no interest in Fairy Peacock."
Mu Ningning couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead: "Is it so complicated?"
"The Emperor of Heaven is the center of power in Heaven. The slightest disturbance in his body will cause waves outside."
Li Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Even if I don't show up now, as long as my strength steadily improves, I can keep heaven stable.
"But government affairs still need to be dealt with. I will let Cang Yuezhu hover beside me later, and it will remind you if you can wake me up.
"If there is an emergency, God will remind you."
Mu Ningning asked: "Senior brother, will you be in seclusion for a long time this time?"
"I don't know the specific time," Li Ping'an said. "I was delayed by the Phoenix Clan incident. Next, I have to find a way to solve the Nanzhou Divine Court incident and absorb the incense of the Nanzhou Divine Court. There is no clue about this matter yet."
"Then I'll call Ling'er to come over and take care of you."
Mu Ningning smiled and said:
"I also want to practice in seclusion and achieve immortality as soon as possible."
"That's fine," Li Ping'an stretched out and lay comfortably on the couch next to the sofa, "I'm going to be in seclusion here, come here and give my husband a kiss."
The maids on the side quickly lowered their heads.
Mu Ningning pursed her lips and snarled slightly, turned around and disappeared into fairy light.
"We are an old married couple, why are you so embarrassed?"
Li Ping'an shook his head, and casually arranged several layers of barriers, ordering the power of heaven to wrap around everywhere and isolate the maids.
After releasing the Cang Yue Pearl, positioning the phoenix body, and taking out the jade talisman given by the transcendent teacher, Li Ping'an began to focus on comprehending the method of cultivating the alien spirit. The news that he had begun retreat here quickly spread throughout the Yaochi.
The Queen Mother thought for a while and sent dozens of fairies with powerful magic powers to guard the place to prevent the Peacock Fairy from making a 'sneak attack'.
Every move of the Peacock Fairy is under the watchful eye of Yaochi.
Next, the Dragon Mother of the Four Seas came to give gifts, and people from Xuanyuan Palace came to pay their respects. Yaochi was busy with everything, and the Heavenly Court of Punishment Hall also occupied most of her energy. She really had to rest for a moment.
However, instead of complaining, Yaochi felt quite fulfilled.
Probably this is Yaochi's ideal living condition.
Two months passed like this;
The turmoil caused by the Peacock Fairy gradually subsided.
One is because Fairy Peacock is busy with the relocation of the Feng clan.
After she was busy with the Feng Clan's relocation, she settled in the Feng Clan's settlement in the corner of Tianting without any action.
Secondly, because the Queen Mother has expressed her attitude several times, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor concentrates on his spiritual practice and aspires to the Great Way, and has no time to care about his children's personal affairs. Nowadays, he only rarely meets with the two Queens.
Third, it was the Dragon Clan who made some efforts and spread the word about the Feng Clan's cruelty and peacock cannibalism everywhere in the world, giving the Peacock Fairy a reputation for cruelty and cruelty.
Other than that, the past two months have been very peaceful.
The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan did not have direct friction.
The only interesting thing in the Heavenly Court was that when the Heavenly Emperor's father entered the Nantian Gate, the gatekeeper general Bian Zhuang shouted "Assassin", and a group of immortal soldiers pinned the Heavenly Emperor's father outside the Nantian Gate.
Bian Zhuang also has something to say.
There is only one entrance and exit to the Heavenly Court, the Nantian Gate. There is no record of the Heavenly Emperor Father going out after entering. Now that a second Heavenly Emperor Father appears, there must be something wrong!
When Bianzhuang took Li Dazhi to the punishment hall, the incident directly alarmed King Dong.
When Dong Wang arrived at the punishment hall and Li Dazhi was found out, Bian Zhuang lost all his souls and collapsed directly on the clouds.
This is not over yet.
Two Heavenly Emperor Fathers entered the Heavenly Court one after another, which meant that there were spies mixed into the Heavenly Court. King Dong ordered a search of the entire Heavenly Court, and he was busy for three days and three nights, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.
This Bianzhuang is miserable.
Although Li Dazhi has put his past karma and has no reason to argue with him, his previous dereliction of duty has been confirmed.
He was demoted to half a rank and lost his prestigious job as a gatekeeper general in the Heavenly Court. He was sent to the Kongmeng Realm to be a leading general. If he served his crime within a hundred years and made meritorious service, he would be reinstated.
Bian Zhuang had no idea that he had been tricked by a certain Heavenly Emperor's fishing law enforcement.
After Li Ping'an learned about this incident later, he also felt a little sorry for Bian Zhuang and wanted to make amends in the future, so he remembered the name Bian Zhuang, which was a disguised form of giving Bian Zhuang a bright road.
Here, Li Ping'an's retreat is progressing quite well.
It's easy to get started with the method of cultivating the alien soul. He has already managed to split his soul into two.
The specific steps are a bit weird.
Li Ping'an first wanted to break the perfect state of his Yuanshen. The little Yuanshen cut off a little finger of himself, and then used the Yuanshen's little finger as a seed to plant it in the Phoenix battle body.
This little finger becomes the soul of the Phoenix battle body.
After doing this, his mind can switch back and forth between the main body and the battle body without any worries or worrying about creating an 'other me'.
The shortcomings of this method are naturally obvious, that is, both the main soul and the deputy soul have shortcomings, and the power of the soul has dropped a lot.
Especially the deputy spirit within the Phoenix body;
The physical body of Daluo Golden Immortal and the soul of True Immortal are no different from "riding a bicycle to pull a heavy truck of Universiade". It is very laborious for the deputy soul to drive the body to walk.
Li Ping'an was not in a hurry. While continuing to retreat, he ordered people to send many treasures, spiritual roots, and medicinal herbs to enhance the power of the soul.
The Dao realms of the main and deputy souls are at the same level. What the deputy souls lack is the power of the soul. With the blessing of external forces, Li Ping'an has been in seclusion for two and a half years, and the power of the main soul has increased by 30% compared to before the split. The power of the deputy soul is equivalent to 80% of the main soul.
In this way, although the deputy spirit is still not strong enough, it can drive the phoenix battle body to exert considerable combat power.
This secret method also has many benefits.
For example, if Li Ping'an's main soul dies, his deputy soul can immediately turn positive. As long as he can survive a long period of weakness, he can make a comeback.
For another example, the main and deputy souls can comprehend two avenues at the same time, and they can practice the avenue of killing and the avenue of sentient beings at the same time.
This kind of alien spirit technique is indeed a technique passed down by transcendent beings!
Later, Li Ping'an asked the main and deputy souls to switch.
The main soul returns to the Phoenix body, while the deputy soul stays in the main body and continues to practice enlightenment in seclusion.
If he wants to go out and explore, the higher his strength, the better.
After spending nearly three years, Li Ping'an finally made the main preparations for entering Nanzhou.
After three years of thinking, Li Ping'an also decided on the idea of attacking the Nanzhou Shenting——
First, sneak into the Divine Court and become a part of the Divine Court, and then find an opportunity to become the Divine King. Become the Divine King yourself and let the way of heaven unify the North Heaven Court and the South Divine Court!
The goals are clear and organized.
The biggest problem that needs to be solved here is that the gods of Shenting and the land of Nanzhou are bound to each other. It is unknown how much disaster the killing of the God King will cause.
This is something to think about after entering Nanzhou.
As for how to become a part of the Divine Court, Li Ping'an has prepared several plans.
Li Ping'an escaped in the phoenix body and made final preparations before entering Nanzhou - to subdue the Notre Dame Palace.
