Yaochi put down the Precious Mirror in her hand, glanced aside, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Li Dazhi and Li Ping’an were sitting cross-legged in front of the portrait of Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones, seemingly fast asleep at this moment.

The two’s Primordial Spirits had been hiding in Li Ping’an’s Spirit Platform for several hours by now.

Yaochi, observing the chaotic battle in the Western Continent from afar, didn’t find it boring, but she occasionally thought of the Human Race’s divine general, Lady Ba, which she found somewhat troublesome.

She thought Ningning Mu was nice because Ningning Mu was inherently weak;

She found Qing Su quite adorable because she also liked Qing Su’s nature, a pure cultivator.

But this Lady Ba…

Her strength is indeed too formidable, having mastered the Calamity Dao, as a daughter of the Human Emperor and an ancient meritorious general, and having guarded the Eastern Alliance for tens of thousands of years, she held great prestige among the Human Race.

If you say Lady Ba took a liking to Li Ping’an, Yaochi certainly wouldn’t believe it.

The situation here was more about the Human Race plotting for power over the Heavenly Court…

Yaochi thought quietly, but the scenes of war displayed in the Kunlun Magic Mirror could no longer captivate her soul.

Compared to the ancient wars, this scene was still far less significant.

An hour ago, the situation reached the brink where Human Race experts were about to collectively fall into demonization;

Lady Ba descended from the sky with the Twelve Golden Immortals—effectively it was a sneak attack;

Guang Chengzi, wielding the Heaven-Overturning Seal, subdued several great demons, Immortal Taiyi with his Nine Dragons Fiery Cover tore through the demonic soldiers’ formation, and Immortal Yuding by holding a cauldron’s foot smashed two old ministers of the Ancient Heavenly Court to death.

The situation was reversed instantly.

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Teaching claimed they were ordered by the soon-to-be Heavenly Emperor Li Ping’an of the New Heavenly Court to capture the remnants of the Ancient Heavenly Court and protect the righteous and ancient path.

At this moment, the Hundred Clans’ forces retreated, reinforcements summoned by the Human Race from the East Continent had filled into the settled cities of the west;

The Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Teaching, after establishing their authority, didn’t leave but continued to closely monitor the ranks of the ancient ministers of the Ancient Heavenly Court among the Demon Race.

In fact, had it not been for the disciples of the Western Sect intervening just now, about thirty percent of these ancient ministers of the Heavenly Court would have been dealt with.

If Li Ping’an could have witnessed this battle, he would probably exclaim ‘Impressive!’

Today Guang Chengzi increased the weight of the Heaven-Overturning Seal by tenfold.

This seal, forged from Mount Buzhou, could easily conquer Dao Realm experts slightly inferior to Guang Chengzi; it truly is a terrific weapon in chaotic battles.

Huh?

Yaochi looked again towards Li Ping’an.

She wasn’t sure if it was just her impression, but at this moment, she always felt like Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit was continuously strengthening.

It shouldn’t be an illusion.

At the moment, Li Ping’an’s body emanated a jade-like aura, and his forehead even showed a layer of ‘rime frost.’

This was clearly a sign of Primordial Spirit strengthening and transformation that only occurs during major breakthroughs.

‘Primordial Spirit enhancements shouldn’t be just advancing through minor realms; transformations are supposed to happen only during major breakthroughs…’

Yaochi really couldn’t understand it.

Inside Li Ping’an’s Spirit Platform, however, a different light and shadow played.

…

“Yo, this remnant soul is quite stubborn.”

Li Dazhi and Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirits crouched in the corner of the Spirit Platform, wary of being discovered by the ‘shadows’ that kept appearing and getting shattered above them.

In front of them, hundreds of jade leaves were neatly arrayed, containing information equivalent to hundreds of ancient books.

With no choice, since Emperor Jun’s remnant soul had been shattered over nine hundred sixty times, every shattering released a bit of golden sand.

The two of them didn’t need to do anything; their Primordial Spirit power surged within a few hours.

Before, Li Ping’an’s six spirit transformations had brought his Primordial Spirit to an extremely high quality, standing at the threshold of an indestructible Primordial Spirit, surpassing an ordinary low-grade Golden Immortal.

—This advantage would follow Li Ping’an as his Dao Realm advanced; if Li Ping’an stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm, his Primordial Spirit quality would surpass that of a mid-grade Golden Immortal.

And now…

Li Ping’an found that he didn’t even need to break through to Golden Immortal, as his Primordial Spirit power had begun to surpass that of a mid-grade Golden Immortal, matching his own Primordial Spirit quality.

His Primordial Spirit boldly advanced ahead of his Dao Body and Dao Realm.

Truly, quite remarkable.

The stronger the Primordial Spirit, the easier it is to activate powerful treasures, naturally elevating his combat strength.

His only shortcoming now was that he lacked Mana; he had the explosive power in magical combat but lacked endurance.

If he wanted to further enhance his strength, he still needed to make breakthroughs.

On his way back from beyond the heavens, Li Ping’an had actually attempted to comprehend the realm of a Golden Immortal.

His insights were abundant, and his affinity with the Great Dao was completely sufficient, but due to a lack of a critical insight, he hadn’t made that step successfully.

Compared to Li Ping’an, Li Dazhi’s situation was much simpler.

“Can’t suppress it anymore!”

Li Dazhi frowned at Li Ping’an and muttered:

“Emperor Jun’s Primordial Spirit power is too strong, I can hardly suppress my Dao Realm, I’m about to break through to a Golden Immortal!”

“Dad, wait a bit more.”

Li Ping’an spoke earnestly:

“This remnant soul is still trying to come out; if you leave, the Primordial Spirit power will surely burst me.”

Li Dazhi sighed: “I know your intentions, wanting me to share this opportunity with you, but Ping’an…

I’m not joking, I’ll really explode if I don’t break through!”

Li Ping’an glanced below the Golden Cloud.

The inner Heavenly Dao and the outer Heavenly Dao were still at a standoff; that figure which had appeared nine hundred sixty-seven times got effortlessly shattered by the Soul-Cleaving Banner again, and wisps of golden sand continued to drift downward.

“Then go ahead, Dad, make your breakthrough while I stay here.”

“I couldn’t suppress it a moment ago!”

Li Dazhi urgently shouted, his Primordial Spirit mini-figure directly rushed out of Li Ping’an’s Spirit Platform.

The next moment, his Dao Body sprang up, promptly greeting Yaochi and rushed out of the secret room swiftly, communicating with the elders of the Casting Cloud Sect.

The bells of the Casting Cloud Sect echoed loudly.
