The Archmage of Xuandu stood in the formation of Xuandu City with his hands behind his hands, watching Li Pingan's back disappear into the sea of chaos.
His arms hidden in his sleeves were shaking slightly.
Most of the figures standing everywhere in Xuandu City had shocked faces at this moment, with their eyes either dull, enthusiastic, or doubtful about life.
The Archmage frowned and thought.
Was it because he had used the wrong magical power just now, or had his strength suddenly declined significantly?
How come...
He actually used almost 40% of his mana to suppress this kid!
The special skill of Water and Fire Tai Chi is used, and the Water and Fire Millstone is used;
The magical powers of the universe realized from the Qiankun Ruler;
The great dream has been used for a long time;
I used the skills I learned from Senior Zhen Yuanzi;
There are all kinds of miscellaneous supernatural powers.
'Peace be upon him... he has such a strong body.'
The Archmage couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Then, he remembered what Li Ping'an had said before about devouring the fighting body through the method of nirvana.
'Is this done?'
The Archmage was immediately relieved and no longer bothered about the fact that he had used a little more strength in the previous sparring session.
After all, it was a gift from Senior Shifeng.
"It's very good. Ping'an really looks a bit like the Emperor of Heaven. It's not in vain for Pindao to spend five cents on it."
The Archmage said calmly and fell to his usual position on the outer city wall to meditate.
The immortals in the city heard the voice of the great mage again:
"Since His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven has given instructions, you can leave today and there is no need to come here to nag Pindao.
"The Emperor of Heaven has achieved success in cultivation. There is no need to make this matter public, lest it attract criticism from others.
"Pindao will send you off not far away."
All the immortals hurriedly bowed and talked among themselves.
They witnessed with their own eyes the 'battle' just outside Xuandu City. Li Ping'an and the Archmage of Xuandu were fighting head-to-head, and they did not lose at all. The difference was that the Archmage was calm and measured, and Li Ping'an could tell at a glance that he had tried his best.
If the Archmage hadn't explained this sentence aloud, the immortals would have thought that their Majesty the Emperor of Heaven had become one of the top powers in the world in just five hundred years.
But they licked it carefully.
It seems that within five or six hundred years, a mortal could reach half the strength of the Archmage. This seems to be... enough to shock the world.
Niu Benben stared at the bull's eyes and muttered: "Is it possible that our Majesty can still become a saint?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Cai Lin flicked the snake's tail, "Every department obeys the order and protects the Queen of Heaven when she returns to heaven."
The three hundred wrathful guards accepted the order in unison, and then began to work individually, putting away the tents and moving the attics.
not far away.
Fairy Ziyao seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to look at Mu Ningning:
"Ning Ning, wasn't His Majesty's body just taken away?"
Mu Ningning tilted her head slightly, with a bit of confusion in her eyes. She didn't know what this meant.
Fairy Ziyao smiled bitterly and said, "That teacher is truly a transcendent person."
Not far away, Turtle Lingling stretched and turned into a small green turtle and floated onto Mu Ningning's shoulder.
"Go back quickly. There's not even good food here. I'll send a message to Qingqing. She's so bored that she's going to the little world to have a tooth ceremony."
Mu Ningning smiled and said: "Just tell your uncle that we have returned to Heaven. Uncle likes to be free, and there should be nothing important in Heaven."
Zi Yao said: "I thought that the female emperor would come here a few times, but I never thought that this daughter of the Human Emperor would really have no connection with His Majesty."
Mu Ningning asked: "Then when we go back, do we want to greet the female slave?"
"You can go, but I won't go," Zi Yao snorted, "Wouldn't it be better to let them end like this?"
"I always feel that senior brother will be a little sad."
"You, everything belongs to my senior fellow apprentice. We are his Taoist companions. Don't you feel any jealousy at all?"
Zi Yao raised his hand to his forehead and looked towards another corner.
The fairy light fell there, and several figures stepped out from the seclusion, but they were Gu Qingcheng, Yu Yingshu, Chen Ting'er, and Ye Zisang who had just arrived two hundred years ago.
Zi Yao said: "These generals have achieved great success now, so they can be entrusted with important responsibilities."
Mu Ningning smiled and said: "The Archmage taught them how to practice several times, and the results are really good. With the help of my senior brother, I almost couldn't catch up with them."
"This is a close official of the Emperor of Heaven, so Heaven must give him some respect."
Zi Yao then sighed:
"I don't know if he will punish me if he sees the current state of heaven."
"Huh?" Mu Ningning was puzzled, "What happened to Heavenly Court?"
"You have to speak to me when the time comes," Zi Yao pursed his lips and whispered, "It's just that the rules are a bit strict, but there's nothing else. I'm just afraid that he won't like it."
"Hey, this...I'll try my best."
Mu Ningning did not agree haphazardly.
…
Li Ping'an glanced at the battle body folded in his sleeves, replaying all the details of the fight with the Archmage in his mind.
This is still the Great Master who has not borrowed the Tai Chi diagram, and is not the complete form of the Great Master.
Naturally, he did it with bare hands and no use of his various treasures.
The accumulation of Taoist realm cannot be achieved overnight;
He also has some shortcomings in fighting experience.
——In the past few hundred years, he has only tempered himself through fierce battles with innate gods and demons, and has rarely fought against ancient masters.
Li Ping'an flickered several times in the sea of chaos, and arrived near the Wanri Secret Realm by familiar routes.
Huge bodies were suspended near the entrance, and they were more than a dozen corpses of innate gods and demons that were being slowly assimilated by the breath of chaos.
Every corpse here was killed by him with his own hands.
He fights the innate gods and demons in two steps.
The first step is to beat them to death and serious injuries;
In the second step, the soul rushes into the ball of light in their bodies, and uses their survival instincts and Taoism to impact their own soul, thus accelerating the cultivation of the soul.
Li Ping'an didn't know at first that the power of his soul could be rapidly enhanced in this way. The essence was that his soul was devouring the true spirits of these innate gods and demons.
Later he found out...
I didn't feel anything uncomfortable.
As long as you are not like Kunpeng, who originally wanted to swallow five hundred innate gods and demons, but ended up being reversely controlled by the will of the innate gods and demons, there is no big problem.
Li Ping'an escaped into the secret realm and was stunned for a moment.
The dance pavilion and singing platform are gone, and the fairy shadows are gone. It seems like overnight, there are only barren mountains left here.
Lingjiu Mountain was also moved here and is suspended at the back.
Li Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He raised his sword and pointed it between his eyebrows, and his celestial consciousness instantly enveloped the entire secret realm, giving him a panoramic view of every situation.
The old man Lingwangri in the coffin was sitting in the main hall, smiling and waving to him.
Li Ping'an's figure flashed several times and he had arrived in front of the main hall.
"Teacher? What does this mean?"
"I sent those girls back," said the old man Wangri with a smile. "This is the last lecture. I will run away from this world soon to avoid being bitten by the Six Saints."
Li Ping'an couldn't accept this.
If he was scolding Jie Yin and Zhunti, then he would do his job.
Sanqing and Nuwa both took great care of me, so they couldn't be scolded.
Wanri waved his hand: "Come and sit down. This class can be finished in half an hour."
"Yes," Li Ping'an bowed, jumped directly to Wan Ri's side, and sat down together.
Old Man Wanri played with two jade charms and poured Li Ping'an a glass of wine.
The old man said slowly:
"Now that you are able to protect yourself, I need to let you know some things in advance. If we meet again in the future, we will probably be tit-for-tat.
"It's okay to be tit-for-tat, and it's okay to be sword-to-sword. This is the stance you should have before you get rid of the current world.
"I can understand it all.
"I have another purpose in training you, that is, if I lose in the future, you should give me a dignity or spare my life."
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Teacher, will you lose? You and Hongjun should have known each other before the birth of the great god Pangu. From that time on, you have already had every advantage."
"It stands to reason that it won't."
Old Man Wanri looked at Li Ping'an, his eyes flashing with something that Li Ping'an couldn't understand.
He said:
"But there are still a few uncontrollable things, such as the Three Purities' reversal of Pangu, and the perfection of the way of heaven. Both of these situations may lead to the birth of a great saint, but of course it is only a slim chance.
"After all, I am injured, and I only have a 70% chance of winning when competing with a Taoist saint, and my own vitality will definitely be damaged.
"So, there is indeed a possibility that I will lose, but the probability is very low, about one in 100,000?"
The old man said with a smile:
"We don't have to hide and tuck in today.
"I don't allow this world to move towards perfection, it can only move towards annihilation."
Li Ping'an scratched his head, picked up the wine glass, drank it down in one gulp, and breathed out softly: "Disciples will do their best to help this world reach perfection."
"Then I wish you success."
Old Man Wanri smiled and clinked glasses with Li Ping'an and said warmly:
"But you still don't have too high hopes.
"The human heart is elusive... The human heart here refers to the human race in general, not just the human race.
"Among the Six Saints, Jieyin and Zhunti are my disciples. They may not necessarily be on the same page as you. Of course, they are just registered disciples."
Li Ping'an said: "I'm going to have a good chat with my two junior brothers later."
"Hahaha! Go! If you get beaten by them, don't say I didn't warn you!"
"The disciples are the Emperor of Heaven, how can they commit crimes below?"
"The order of the saint's way of heaven is still higher than that of the emperor of heaven."
"Ah this!"
Li Ping'an could only laugh and asked, "Teacher, do you have any other arrangements in the world?"
Old Man Wanri smiled and said: "I can't tell you this. From today when I leave here until the end of the world, we will be rivals."
"That's okay."
Li Ping'an sighed: "I can tell the teacher my plan."
"What other plans do you have? Isn't it just to carry out a great catastrophe to confer gods and fill the heavens?"
"Feng Shen is actually not under my control. My plan is to take it one step at a time."
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"This is the plan of the Six Saints. The Western Sect will definitely cause trouble. The Chan Church will take advantage of the West. The Jie Jiao is a piece of cake. The combined disciples of the Jie Jiao are no match for a low-end Heavenly Saint.
"The disciple actually doesn't know what the disciple can do in the Great Tribulation of the Gods. What I care about most is not how many disciples are killed or injured."
"Oh? What do you care about?"
"What I care about is my anger."
"Heart Qi?" Old Man Wanri said with a smile, "You have indeed realized it."
"Um."
Li Pingan responded:
"It was also taught to me by the Great Master that the word "freedom" is the only way to enter the realm of semi-saints. After practicing to this level, my heart energy cannot be damaged. Once the heart energy is damaged, the path will be difficult.
"Before, I always felt that we should be reasonable and righteous no matter where we are. Later, I discovered that this is not a world where we can pursue equality and justice.
"The way of heaven will always plan for the sake of its own perfection.
"Saints will not extinguish their own selfish desires even if they are aloof. In other words, they also have their own goals, and they can sacrifice everything for this goal.
"The moment Senior Brother Xuanyuan died, I was completely disappointed with this world.
"Only when you are serious, only when you reach a state like the teacher, and can overcome all life and death, and all spirits, can you express your ambitions and build the world you want.
"Everything else is empty."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The old man caressing his beard and laughing:
"If you can really think this way, then I don't have to worry about you."
Li Ping'an curled his lips slightly: "This is what the disciple says from his heart, but the teacher doesn't believe it?"
"In fact, you have always been somewhat indecisive in your temperament. It's not that I don't believe you."
The old man Wangri pressed two jade talismans in front of Li Ping'an:
"take it."
Li Ping'an wondered: "What is this?"
"The complete version of the Alien Soul Cultivation Method, and a magical power I created myself, the Heaven-Eating Technique."
There was a bit of coldness in the eyes of the old man:
"Apprentice, if you are really disappointed with the way of heaven in this world, or if you don't want the way of heaven to give birth to spirituality, then use this magical power.
"Swallow the way of heaven and strengthen yourself.
"This is the decisive skill that allowed me to stand out in the original world."
Li Ping'an's expression was a little sluggish.
Good guy, this teacher is really a bit cruel!
Devour the sky? Devour the way of heaven?
"Thank you teacher."
"Go practice!"
The old man waved his hand:
"There is the last pool of innate spiritual energy behind, I will leave now."
The old man turned his hands to support Lingjiu Mountain, turned around and ran away.
Li Ping'an shouted: "Teacher! I have one last question!"
"Huh? Just tell me."
Li Pingan said quickly: "Teacher, what is your identity in the original world?"
Old Man Wanri smiled with squinted eyes, and his body was surrounded by light fire, which burned away his appearance, revealing his true self which was full of piercing wounds.
He cast a spell, and the holes in his face, neck, chest, and shoulders were slowly filled with fairy light, returning to a normal face.
This is an old man in his sixties or seventies, with gray hair, kind eyes, and a gentle smile on his face.
Li Ping'an stood up and saluted, feeling a little more confused in his heart.
He didn't recognize this face.
"can not recognize?"
The spirit in the coffin strokes its beard and smiles:
"It's okay if you don't recognize me, but this is my teacher's original appearance. I've told you everything I can tell you. Next time we meet, be gentler, hahaha!"
The spirit in the coffin turned around and escaped through the void.
Only Li Ping'an was left standing in this empty and lonely hall.
His figure stood there for a long time, lowered his head and bowed deeply towards the direction in which the spirit in the coffin left, then turned around and fled to the back of the palace, and got into the Hua Chi.
His thoughts moved slightly, and the entire hall was wrapped by a tyrannical barrier.
The connection between the main body and his little crab was severed again.
Li Ping'an held the two jade talismans in his hands and probed into them with his celestial sense, only to find that in the last section of the Heaven-Eating Technique's magical power practice method, there was actually a magical power recorded that he had meditated on for a long time but to no avail.
Phoenix Nirvana!
Li Pingan was a little puzzled again.
Why did my teacher, who had been unwilling to teach me this magical power before, write it down here again?
And Li Pingan sensed it carefully.
Judging from the marks here, they should have been carved not long ago.
Is the teacher hesitating too?
In fact, Fairy Peacock and Dapeng should also have the magical power of Nirvana. As long as I agree to join the Phoenix Clan, I should be able to obtain the magical power of Nirvana.
The teacher’s strange persistence before;
And now the strange giving.
Li Ping'an was more interested and began to carefully verify the right and wrong of this Nirvana magical power. He would rather spend more than ten years of useless study rather than try it easily.
Be careful and you won't make a big mistake.
After an unknown amount of time, the liquid innate spiritual energy in the Fang Hua Pond has dried up.
Li Ping'an placed the battle body in front of him. Dao body and war body opened their eyes at the same time. Dao body held the Yuan Tu sword and slashed forward. Zhan body punched his Dao body spiritual platform down.
Both of them tried their best, as if they were about to commit suicide.
In a short while, a ball of intersecting flames of gold, green, white, red, and black swept across the entire hall, and the shadow of a phoenix appeared at the tip of the flame.
In the middle of the flames, Li Ping'an's figure quickly reunited.
