When Li Pingan left Yuxu Palace, he had gained a lot.
If nothing else, by sitting and discussing Tao with Yuanshi Tianzun, you can always get some enlightenment from different ways, get a glimpse of the true meaning here, and clearly understand the truth of constant change and immutability.
This is much more rewarding than taking a bath with the Master of Tongtian.
'Let's see what happened in the past month and a half.'
Li Pingan calculated with his fingers and quickly nodded with satisfaction.
The heavenly palace is operating normally, the eldest wife of the family is diligent and diligent, Li Yiqing and Li Yingying have also made great achievements in their studies, the various super projects of the heavenly palace are progressing steadily, and there is no conflict between the human race and the hundreds of races.
In fact, he withdrew the incarnation of Heavenly Dao who interpreted the arrangement of the two religions, and the immortals of the two religions actually ceased their activities at the same time. There was no dispute in the land of Dongzhou overnight.
This made Li Ping'an feel quite magical.
He had tried so hard to persuade both sides to stop fighting, but there was no Western religion to sow discord, and there was no God to push behind the scenes, so there was no need for anyone to break their heads.
No one listened.
Rules have been formulated for the two religions, but both religions want to gain some benefits outside of the rules and gain an advantage by the way, such as the chaotic battle in the East China Sea.
Now, Li Ping'an changed his mind and retreated to the rear with a smile, saying that there was no need for living creatures in the future. He had his own way to overcome the final tribulation, and took back the incarnations of heaven on both sides.
The two sides immediately ceased fighting.
Immortals and gods cannot escape this human nature.
'See how Nanzhou is doing?'
Li Ping'an glanced at it, and saw that the main spirit read the message in the Heavenly Dao on its own, and couldn't help but tilted his head.
Boy, a lot has happened.
Ji Chang actually returned to Xiqi City, and he was carried by Jiang Shang, flying all the way, resting along the way, and then flew back directly.
Emperor Xin did not let anyone chase Jiang Shang, but instead raised his troops to march eastward again. Now the army had left Chaoge City for thousands of miles, and the vast hordes of alien beasts were overwhelming as they rushed.
In about three or four months, Di Xin will be able to arrive in Dongyi and start the war again.
Li Ping'an thought for a moment and couldn't help but admire it.
Emperor Xin's strategy was actually superior to that of Ji Chang.
Emperor Xin seemed to have guessed it right. Ji Chang acted cautiously, looked forward and backward, and constantly thought about things. Moreover, after a long period of time, although Ji Chang's city was extremely deep, his sharpness had been lost.
From a political perspective, the biggest threat to Zhou State now is actually Ji Fa, who is brave and good at fighting.
Ji Chang's return to Xiqi was a kind of oppression for Ji Fa. Ji Chang was the absolute political core of Xiqi City, and Ji Fa was also a first-class filial son and could not have any rebellious intentions.
As long as Ji Chang is alive, it is extremely unlikely that Zhou will send troops to attack Shang.
Emperor Xin's idea should be to conquer the east first, then look back to the west, and use the Chonghou Tiger in the north to contain Ji Chang. This is enough at this stage.
"Can this dead game really be revived by Di Xin?"
Li Pingan smiled noncommittally, but did not interfere with Di Xin's thoughts.
He thought for a moment, then lowered his head to look at Xiqi City, and landed on Ji Dan, who had been sleeping and was wrapped in fairy light.
——Without this layer of fairy light, Ji Dan would have starved to death.
'Jichang has returned to Xiqi, and the two sects have temporarily stopped fighting. The path was originally chaotic and unclear, but now that I know my own path, I should leave.'
Li Ping'an cupped his hands in the direction of Ji Dan, shook his left hand slightly, and a big bell slowly appeared from behind him.
Fiddle with the years, reverse the universe, and determine the cause and effect.
But in a moment, a young man walked out of the clock, carrying Ji Dan's memory, Ji Dan's spirit, and Li Ping'an's entire understanding of the sixty-four hexagrams and Zhou Li.
He was confused and had a complete set of logical explanations for all his anomalies and the many lies he had told before.
"Go ahead."
Li Pingan raised his hand to push, and the young man's shadow fell towards Fanchen. Ji Dan, who had been sleeping slowly, opened his eyes, yawned, and sat up weakly.
The old slaves and guards who were standing by cried with joy and ran to tell each other.
Afterwards, Li Ping'an glanced at Nanzhou, without any more nostalgia, turned and walked towards the heaven.
Here, he understood the way of the mortal world, understood the ecology of all living beings, and understood what the great road of all living beings is.
Although the Great Way of all living beings still lacks a trace of perfection;
But next, he has decided to take a path that no one knows and no one has imagined, to experience the baptism of time, and to maintain his Taoist heart in the endless silence.
If during this process, he still couldn't bring all sentient beings to perfection, then he would have no choice but to let a ray of soul reincarnate for thousands of lives.
Just do it.
The road is right under your feet.
…
Half a day later.
Heavenly Court, Peach Garden.
Li Ping'an and Fairy Ziyao were walking, chatting about the restructuring of the court and the tightness of the chatting bar.
Zi Yao talked about many interesting things, such as which fairy eloped with the general in the world of mortals, which general bribed Yue Lao for marriage, or what kind of good news came from the Demon Scouts, and how much progress Yao Ji had made in Xuandu City
, so on.
Li Pingan listened with a smile most of the time.
The two of them rested next to several thousand-year-old peach trees. Li Ping'an took the initiative to open his right hand, and Zi Yao bowed his head and leaned forward.
"What is on your mind, Your Majesty?"
"Call me husband," Li Ping'an smiled, "I don't have anything on my mind, I'm just thinking about how to talk to you."
"If your husband has something to say, it's okay to say it," Fairy Zi Yao said softly, "As long as you don't divorce your wife, Yao'er can do it."
"How can you say that you divorce your wife without any reason?"
Li Pingan said warmly:
"Lately I have been thinking about how I should lead the world to the end.
"This is simple to say, just follow the route left by Wan Ri, but I have carefully deduced that the route left by Wan Ri also leads to an imperfect new world, which is essentially a prehistoric one.
An extension of the heaven and earth model.
"This is an opportunity to open up a truly perfect world so that living creatures can thrive for a longer period of time."
"Oh?" Zi Yao asked, "So? Husband, what are you going to do?"
"Enlightenment."
"Enlightenment?"
"Go to the long river of time to realize the Tao," Li Ping'an said, "I want to observe the long river of time as the way of heaven, and then I will break through the three realms."
"Which third realm?"
"The first level is that I am the heaven, with my word running through the years, standing at the end of the long river of time and self-indestructible. The second level is transcending heaven, taking the heaven and the earth as me, and the heaven and earth have no self, using me to establish the world
But the heaven and the earth are not limited to me, and this is the transcendent state where Wan Sun is.
"I haven't realized the third level yet. I'm just touching the shadow of the first level and trying to move into the second level. The third level needs to wait until I reach the second level before I can fully understand it.
"Only when you reach the third level can you have the opportunity to achieve this ideal of mine."
"Husband," Zi Yao sighed softly, "I know you can't let go in your heart, but you haven't done anything wrong from beginning to end, why do you blame yourself so much? Even detachment is even more difficult, so why bother?
To understand the realm above transcendence?”
Li Ping'an smiled and shook his head: "You were wrong Yao'er, it's not that I can't let go."
"oh?"
"You all think that I am repaying my father's debt. In fact, this is not the essence. Even I thought that my mentality was like this before."
Li Pingan felt the smooth touch of her skin with his fingers, looked into the distance, and said softly:
"Actually, I'm just unwilling to admit defeat to him.
"Actually, he and I spent a lot of time in quarrels. We always quarreled when we met. I couldn't convince him, and he couldn't convince me. I always felt that I would become a better person than him.
“This is the root of what I can’t let go of.
"He has arranged everything for me, and it is for my own good... Everything is for my own good. He does not care about whether I can bear this so-called love, and does not think that what I need may be a kind of love."
Trust and comfort.
"From forcing me to go on a blind date, to here, I was pushed step by step to become the so-called Emperor of Heaven and the so-called Master of Taoism. In fact, the happiest days I lived were before I shouted the phrase 'I am the Emperor of Heaven'
those years.
"I can really feel that I am alive.
"Later, I was kidnapped by Tiandao and bound by the frameworks he created. I gradually became uncomfortable and unhappy. He was like a big hand. I couldn't jump out of his five-finger mountain, and then he began to gradually tighten his fists.
I was pressed into the palm of his hand step by step.
"So there's only one thing I want to do...to surpass him.
"Then I will turn around and say thank you to him and tell him... your efforts are all worth it, because I have accomplished what you cannot. Not only have I made up for your regrets, but I have also created more people.
of happiness.
"This is what I really want to do."
Zi Yao listened in silence for a long time, then sighed softly and snuggled tenderly in Li Ping'an's arms.
She asked: "Then how can I help you?"
"Just keep an eye on Heaven," Li Ping'an said warmly, "I'm going to go for a long time, but it won't be long in your perception. I mainly want to unleash the potential of the Chaos Clock."
"Oh," Zi Yao whispered, "Yao'er wants to go on the road with her husband."
"That won't work. I can only control myself to resist the wear and tear of time, because I can understand the three thousand avenues... Yes, there is one more thing I need to ask you."
"Husband, just say so."
"A new world has opened up. I want you to put down your power and live in seclusion with me. Are you willing?"
"Can this still be a problem?" Zi Yao nodded in response, "I just thought before that I couldn't be weaker than other goddesses, but after I actually sat in this position, I felt very tired."
"That's okay," Li Ping'an rubbed her soft skin, "The world I want to open up doesn't have to have a Heavenly Emperor or a Heavenly Court."
"What's that going to be?"
"Liberty and Order."
Li Ping'an snapped his fingers and disappeared with Zi Yao.
After three or five days of being a little ridiculous, I got a lot of love and a lot of sympathy.
Li Pingan said goodbye to his two wives for a while, and went to the Kunlun Secret Realm. After meeting with Yun Zhongzi and others, he finalized a series of subsequent schedules.
He will appear at these scheduled moments.
In other words, he will no longer be active in the current normal dimension of heaven and earth for a long time.
However, no one heard what he meant, and the immortals only said that he wanted to practice in seclusion.
All extensions of time, whether going upstream or downstream, must use 'this world' as the basic anchor.
The previous mental breakdown of Donghuang Taiyi was largely due to that battle. The Chaos Bell forced Donghuang Taiyi to appear, which forced Wanri to carry out a lot of 'real world repairs', which ultimately led to Donghuang Taiyi and Wanri.
Complete breakup.
Although this kind of thing can be regarded as a deliberate calculation, what is always planned is the general trend. No matter what happens under the general trend, it can be regarded as a deliberate calculation.
In fact, what Wanri did at that time was a bit rough.
In order to ensure the stability of the world, Li Ping'an has to deal with several hidden troubles before leaving.
Especially Maitreya, Luya and his ilk;
As well as those great demons who escaped from the wilderness in various eras and hid in the sea of chaos or the small world at the edge of heaven and earth.
However, before starting to eliminate the demon, Li Ping'an still has a few things to do.
He first arrived in the northern part of Dongzhou, went to spend two days with Qingsu, and asked Qingsu if she would like to accompany him for a walk along the River of Time.
As he expected, Qingsu chose to refuse.
It's not because of anything else, it's just that Qing Su feels that searching for the Tao in the long river of time is a Tao realm that is far out of her reach at this stage, and following the past is just a drag.
Li Ping'an even simply explained that they only need to look at the collision trajectories of those powerful roads when they fight.
But in the end, Qing Su still chose to stick to her own path to practice and wait for him to come back and meet again.
Qingsu’s choice is almost the same as Mu Ningning’s choice.
Li Ping'an was even a little suspicious because the two of them were ventilated in advance.
The three of them didn't go, so Li Ping'an could only go on the road alone.
Later, Li Pingan went to Xuanyuan Mausoleum.
He came here to burn a stick of incense and chatted for a long time with the female slave guarding the mausoleum. The two of them no longer had the awkwardness before, and they got along harmoniously, but they were no longer as close as they used to be and were just friends.
Li Pingan said before leaving:
"Although my life is not too long, it has been rich in experience. However, many things in this life were arranged and arranged by someone. However, the friendship I had with you back then was something that came from my heart and I have never regretted it.
"If you want to renew our relationship, just come to Heaven to stay for a while. I'll go and get busy first."
After saying this, he bowed his hands in salute, turned around and took a few steps, and his figure naturally disappeared.
The female slayer took two steps after realizing it, then lowered her head and sighed softly, without saying anything more. Her figure could not help but feel a little lonely.
After leaving the nun's place, Li Ping'an wandered around various places, randomly selected hundreds of heavenly soldiers, and the virtuous ones offered opportunities, and then rushed to the skies over Nanzhou.
His father was still here, drinking and chatting with senior Xu Sheng, and he didn't have the temperament to do anything serious at all.
Li Ping'an moved forward with a smile.
"Oh ho!"
Li Dazhi pushed away the chessboard and cursed with a smile: "I saw you left Yuxu Palace before, and you haven't come back to take over! Just say so if you want me to work as a coolie here!"
"Isn't this very relaxing? Why do you have to do hard work?"
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"I'm going on a long journey soon, and I need you to keep an eye on me here in Nanzhou.
"Besides, before I go out, I will clean up the great demons accumulated in all eras in the world and reclaim their roads. Are there any evil people that you can't stand? I will deal with them all together."
"the wicked?"
Li Dazhi pondered for a few times, but hesitated to speak.
