‘Are there still many divine gift packs from ancient heavenly immortals in that Heavenly Dao illusionary realm?’

Li Ping’an opened his eyes, his gaze blazing as he looked toward the gold-grey clouds above.

His heart throbbed with excitement.

He really wanted to know what kind of qualitative change would occur if his Primordial Spirit absorbed those powers.

“Calm the mind, calm the mind.”

“Human desires are insatiable, like a snake swallowing an elephant.”

“Having Emperor Jun’s gift pack has already been immensely beneficial.

All that is needed is to break through life and death to become a Golden Immortal, and the Primordial Spirit will naturally take a big step forward.”

Li Ping’an kept reminding himself.

Suddenly, a mournful cry came from above, and a tiny Golden Crow burst out of the grey clouds, seeming to rush toward Li Ping’an.

But as soon as it flapped its wings, it was shattered by a dark light that struck from the side.

There were no more traces of Emperor Jun’s remnant soul.

That represented the weakening of the grey clouds of the inner Heavenly Dao, and the stalemate between the inner and outer Heavenly Dao continued.

This was Li Ping’an’s Spirit Platform, and his Primordial Spirit autonomously absorbed the last nourishment given by Emperor Jun’s remnant soul.

Li Ping’an dared not be careless.

He carefully sensed the changes around him, the Soul-Cleaving Banner fluttering motionless under the gold-grey clouds, and various Spiritual Treasures stayed on alert around his Primordial Spirit.

Another two hours passed like this.

Li Ping’an had absorbed all the information left by Emperor Jun’s remnant soul.

The secrets of the Ancient Heavenly Court were nearly all known to him.

Now, he began to consider what he could do with these secrets and how to leverage this informational advantage.

A flash of inspiration struck Li Ping’an.

A bold plan sprang to mind.

“This Mo Linyuan is truly peculiar; he is the inner Heavenly Dao’s extended tentacle and has been assimilated by the main Heavenly Dao…a double-faced heavenly servant?”

Li Ping’an raised his eyebrows lightly.

Executing this plan using the double-faced heavenly servant would indeed be perfect.

Without hesitation.

Li Ping’an summoned the Cangyue Bead and extracted a blank scroll from within.

The Primordial Spirit little man began to splash ink and wield a brush.

——Actually, he was imprinting the scenes he had seen onto the paper.

A short-haired little Golden Crow wrapped in a fireball vividly appeared on the paper.

This is…

Daoist Luya’s birth photo.

Li Ping’an seized the time to begin comprehending the “Golden Crow Refining Sun Technique,” which would be necessary later to deceive Daoist Luya.

‘Can this cultivation method be combined with my Spirit Transformation Technique?’

His great enlightenment might indeed have some clever uses.

…

The Casting Cloud Sect was bustling for most of the day.

Feasts were held on every peak, and thousands of immortals celebrated.

A newly-promoted Golden Immortal took his two wives to inspect each peak, distributing thousands of red envelopes prepared in advance.

Afterward, Li Dazhi told Xiaoyue and Wen Rou to wait for him in the room to celebrate later together, and he vanished into the underground secret chamber.

At Jade Pool, already bored to tears, browsed through a book.

Li Ping’an was still meditating quietly in front of the Three Pure Ones’ portraits.

Because of the tradition of avoiding impropriety, Li Dazhi didn’t dare to look too much at the magnificent prospective daughter-in-law and, frowning, walked over to Li Ping’an to give him a thorough look over.

Li Ping’an slowly opened his eyes, emitting three feet of golden light from the depths, and ripples began to appear around his body.

This was the sign that he was about to break through to become a Golden Immortal.

An opportunity had arisen, and both father and son had simultaneously taken the most crucial step, which made Li Dazhi feel gratified.

The inner Heavenly Dao and Emperor Jun were really…

Too polite.

“Dad!”

Li Ping’an stood up and smiled: “I have a way to resolve the crisis of the Western Continent!”

Li Dazhi asked, “What are you thinking of doing?”

“Just watch, Dad.”

Li Ping’an closed and opened his eyes, revealing a pair of Three-legged Golden Crow marks in the depths.

His aura slowly rose around him, becoming ethereal and scorching hot, unique to the Golden Crow, filling the room.

Jade Pool expressed surprise: “This is?”

“A cultivation technique that only Emperor Jun’s family knows.”

Li Ping’an blinked, his body spun slightly, and with a whoosh, transformed into the image of Emperor Jun.

Dressed in a golden robe with flowing long hair, he was almost identical to the impression of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor in Jade Pool’s memory, except his aura was a bit weaker.

Li Dazhi frowned and said, “If I didn’t know that Emperor Jun’s remnant soul had been continuously shattered, I would have thought you were possessed.”

“How could that be,” Li Ping’an shook his head, “That remnant soul was just a mark assimilated by the Heavenly Dao, without its own consciousness, just a tenacious desire to escape from the Heavenly Dao.”

Jade Pool seemed to understand, her eyes flickering with amazement.

Li Ping’an spoke seriously: “There’s no time to lose.

I’m going to summon Mo Linyuan now, and then try to deceive Luya with Emperor Jun’s identity to see if I can trick him away.”

“Alright, be careful,” Li Dazhi sighed softly:

“Now that I’ve stepped into the Longevity Realm, I need to retreat and make a breakthrough.

Do you need me to pass on some power to you?”

“No need, Dad.

What I lack now is the insight to break through life and death,” Li Ping’an wondered, “Dad, do you have such insight?”

“Of course, I do,” Li Dazhi winked, “Before we even left our mountains and forests back home, I had already planned out my own tomb, to be buried together with your mother, you see.”

Li Ping’an was speechless.

His father’s life experiences were also something he could not compare with.

However, it’s just the final step that’s missing.

“Is Jade Pool coming with me?”

“How could I miss such an interesting occasion?”

Jade Pool stood up and gave a slight bow to Li Dazhi:

“Congratulations to Great Wealth Immortal on stepping into the Realm of Longevity; Jade Pool will bring some gifts later.

“With me by His Majesty’s side, there’s no need for you to worry.”

Li Dazhi smiled: “Go on, go on, have a good time together!”

With a wave of her delicate hand, Jade Pool led Li Ping’an away.

Li Ping’an thought for a moment, took out some rouge and powder that were always ready to be gifted to his master and Ningning, and began to apply makeup to himself in the style of the Heavenly Emperor.
