“The second matter is to increase the source of incense and merits for the external Heavenly Dao,” Li Ping’an looked towards Xuanyuan Huangdi, “This matter can only be handled by Brother Xuanyuan – ordering people and Qi Cultivators everywhere to burn incense in temples of the Heavenly Emperor.”

“A trivial matter.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi said seriously:

“If Ping’an you are not afraid of my Officials spine-stabbing, you could directly confer a reward to me, this Human Emperor, and let me take up a position in the Heavenly Court.

I’ve accumulated nearly a hundred thousand years of incense and merits, which could be directly infused into the Heavenly Court.”

Li Ping’an was greatly moved.

But thinking of the issue with the Right Vizier, and seeing the earnest expression on Xuanyuan Huangdi’s face, he pondered slightly in his heart.

“Your Majesty,” Li Ping’an frowned, “I’m not afraid of being scolded, but I worry it may dishearten the Officials.”

“Eh,” Xuanyuan Huangdi said indifferently, “Those who achieve great things do not fuss over trifles.

Whether the Human Emperor should be subordinate to or on par with the Heavenly Emperor, no one can say for certain.”

Li Ping’an thought carefully.

Actually, there was great potential in this matter.

If Xuanyuan Huangdi could join the Heavenly Court, the incense and merits he brought could potentially overwhelm the internal Heavenly Dao.

The position for Xuanyuan Huangdi could be second only to the Heavenly Emperor and Empress…

Fourth Sovereign Emperor?

That’s not quite right, as the Fourth Sovereign Emperors are equivalent to vassal kings of the Heavenly Court, which is too low in status.

The only suitable position would be to posthumously recognize Xuanyuan Huangdi as the previous Heavenly Emperor, to bear the honorary title of Heavenly Emperor without wielding actual power, a supremely transcendent status.

However, he currently could not obtain the Heaven Emperor’s Seal and thus was unable to issue decrees.

Li Ping’an laughed: “It’s a good idea, but unfortunately, it’s infeasible now, as I currently cannot directly communicate with the external Heavenly Dao.”

Guang Chengzi asked, “Is there anything else that requires manpower?”

Li Ping’an pondered for a few moments: “Indeed, there is another matter, and the Chan Teaching is best suited to handle it.”

“You just say the word.”

“Negotiating peace in the Western Continent.”

Li Ping’an said:

“The war in the Western Continent is not suitable for continuation; although at this moment the Human Race has the upper hand, considering that Ancestor Minghe could summon Asuras from the Sea of Blood by killing, continuing the fight only adds variability.

We need to focus on resolving the internal Heavenly Dao.”

“The Human Race having the upper hand is not just empty talk; Daoist Luya and some of the Old Ministers of the Heavenly Court have already been sent away by me.”

“Jade Pool?”

He spoke softly, summoning her.

At the stern of the wooden boat, a faint immortal light flickered, and the Precious Mirror swiftly formed, with the Queen Mother of the West in a light golden dress emerging from within the mirror.

She bowed slightly, her voice soft: “Your Majesty finally remembers to summon me.”

Li Ping’an smiled wryly.

It was actually her who had transmitted her voice a moment ago to explain many things to him, saying that if she was needed, to call her name.

Previously, Li Ping’an’s visit to the Northern Continent with the Precept Teaching Immortals was too hasty, and before he even entered the great hall, the Jade Pool had not yet acted.

Ever since then, the Jade Pool had been hiding in the periphery, failing to find a proper opportunity to emerge.

Li Ping’an said: “You, using Zi Yao’s identity, order our friend Houtu to return to the Misty Realm to guard, and command the Roc Bird to come here.”

The Jade Pool asked: “Is Your Majesty going to use the Roc Bird now?”

“Out of necessity,” Li Ping’an said, “after Kong Xuan appeared, the Roc has become available.

His extreme speed will be of great use.

I don’t mind shouldering the stigma of having double standards.”

“Yes,” the Jade Pool bowed and paid respect, giving due face to Li Ping’an.

Afterward, she sat down behind Li Ping’an cross-legged, closing her eyes and shifting her focus in meditation.

The Great Mage asked, “Ping’an, what are you going to do next?”

“I intend to get as close as possible to that great hall to see if I can comprehend the internal Heavenly Dao.”

Li Ping’an said:

“Great Mage, you continue to keep a close watch on Ancestor Minghe.”

“Earlier, I have vowed a grand aspiration to resolve the dispute between the internal and external Heavenly Dao.

Promises made to the Heavenly Dao are best fulfilled, whether or not they are achievable.”

“The internal Heavenly Dao still harbors opportunities meant for me.”

Opportunities?

The three Great Elder Brothers, Li Dazhi, Xuanyuan Huangdi, all showed a degree of confusion in their expressions.

Taoist Duobao instantly understood something, laughed heartily twice, and got up to summon Intercepting Sect Immortals for the debacle occurring beyond the heavens.

Before leaving, he transmitted a message to Li Ping’an:

“Xihe does have a fine figure, keep it up, my nephew Emperor who specializes in harvesting Great Female Powers!”
