Chapter 1051 - 1051 366 Heavenly Dao Warning The Sea of Blood Calamity_2

1051: Chapter 366: Heavenly Dao Warning, The Sea of Blood Calamity_2 1051: Chapter 366: Heavenly Dao Warning, The Sea of Blood Calamity_2 He let out a slight breath, bringing calmness back to his Dao heart.

This must be the Heavenly Dao warning him through his Divine Skills, suggesting that the Sea of Blood underground is about to invade the surface world, and he needs to stop it as quickly as possible?

Li Ping’an pondered for a moment, then glanced a few more times at the calamitous radiance of the [White-clothed Heavenly Emperor’s Beheading Calamity]; there was still no change in it.

Are the two matters related?

Instead of guessing, it’s better to directly ask for clarification.

Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit once again flew beneath the Golden Cloud and called out loudly, “May the Heavenly Dao grant an audience!”

This time, the Golden Cloud responded.

Above the Golden Cloud, something resembling blood vessels appeared, intertwining to form a golden bead.

The golden bead flew in front of Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit and transformed into a faceless figure in grey clothes, who bowed to Li Ping’an.

“Your Majesty, thank you for your arrangements.

Now, this poor Daoist can temporarily suppress the Inner Heavenly Dao.”

Li Ping’an asked, “Is it true that by removing the source of the Inner Heavenly Dao’s support little by little, we can resolve the dispute between the Inner and Outer Heavenly Dao?”

“It should be so, yet there are hidden worries, as you have already seen,” said the Faceless One in a quick tone.

“The Inner Heavenly Dao has been activated and has become a primer, leading many a master to scheme, utilizing the Inner Heavenly Dao to search for a sacred opportunity to ascend.”

“The swiftest among them is Ancestor Minghe.”

“Ancestor Minghe has begun his ritual, attempting to merge with the Inner Heavenly Dao.

This is his last hope to become a Saint.

He is making an all-out effort.”

Li Ping’an expressed his puzzlement, “Inner Heavenly Dao…

can it even merge with something?”

The Faceless One sighed and said:

“The nature of the Heavenly Dao is inherently void, stirred only by the creatures themselves.”

“The Illusionary Realm at the core of the Inner Heavenly Dao indeed provides a possibility for merging with creatures, although it isn’t true merging.”

“Ancestor Minghe is well aware of this, yet he is excessively confident, believing that he can dominate and control the Inner Heavenly Dao.

That’s his nature, he acts without considering the consequences and is indifferent to the life and death of other creatures.”

Li Ping’an pondered for a while then said, “So now I have to prevent Ancestor Minghe?

It’s convenient as the masters of the Three Teachings are all here.

The Heavenly Dao can later distribute some merits to everyone.”

The Faceless One replied, “Dispensation of merit is a core authority of the Heavenly Court and should indeed be decided by Your Majesty.”

“Isn’t Heavenly Dao without nature?”

Li Ping’an half-jokingly reprimanded, “Are you already starting to pass the buck, my Daoist friend?”

“Not abdicating responsibility,” the Faceless One seemed to be contemplating, and then said,

“I am a manifestation of the resonance between the Heavenly Dao and all beings, formed into a human shape to facilitate your understanding of the Heavenly Dao, not a real creature but merely an extension of the Heavenly Dao’s outreach.”

“As the Inner and Outer Heavenly Dao influence each other, I too have been tainted by the Inner Heavenly Dao and endowed with a form of thinking akin to creatures.”

“However, these are all incomplete.

The influence of the Inner Heavenly Dao on the Outer Heavenly Dao remains weak, far less significant than your father’s and your own influence on the Heavenly Dao.”

Li Ping’an said, “No need to explain so much; I can sense the state of the Heavenly Dao…

I’ll go now and gather the masters of the Three Teachings to deal with Ancestor Minghe.”

“Your Majesty, even if the masters of the Three Teachings were to act together, it would be in vain.

Ancestor Minghe has temporarily retreated to the Sea of Blood,” explained the Faceless One.

“For such a critical matter, he certainly would return to his own secret domain to conduct it.

Unless you evaporate the Sea of Blood, it would be difficult to find his whereabouts.”

“The Three Pure Ones are not in this world, and you cannot stop Ancestor Minghe from connecting with the Inner Heavenly Dao.”

“Ancestor Minghe has almost refined the Sea of Blood into his second Dao Body, and to defeat Ancestor Minghe in the Sea of Blood is like challenging a Semi-Saint.

Although the disciples of the Three Teachings can overcome him together, it is hard to slay him.”

Hearing this, Li Ping’an was startled: “Is there no way to stop Ancestor Minghe anymore?

Is the calamity I just saw, where the creatures of the East Continent suffer, already inevitable?”

“There is a way, but this poor Daoist cannot say,” the Faceless One gave a bow to Li Ping’an,

“The Heavenly Dao has already thoroughly deduced it.”

“Ancestor Minghe merging with the Inner Heavenly Dao, dreaming of becoming a Saint of the Heavenly Dao, is nothing but delusional wishful thinking.

It’s more likely he will turn into some indescribable monster, brewing a catastrophe from the Sea of Blood.”

“While the catastrophe of the Sea of Blood will indeed cause immense suffering, it will also prompt the hidden domain of the Sea of Blood to transform.”

“Ultimately, this event is likely to have a relatively positive outcome.

In the short term, forty percent of the Human Race in the East Continent will perish.”

“Even if the Inner Heavenly Dao gains support from the Sea of Blood, Minghe, and the Asura Clan, it can only strengthen itself but not overpower the Outer Heavenly Dao.”

Li Ping’an asked, “Do you mean, many creatures will die from this incident, but ultimately it will be beneficial to the Heavenly Dao?”

“Not beneficial to the Heavenly Dao, but truly beneficial to all beings,” the Faceless One said in a gentle voice.

“Your Majesty is also aware of the prospect of establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation in this world.”

“Should the Six Paths Reincarnation succeed, the Human Race could flourish several times more than currently, laying a foundation for the Heavenly Dao’s order.”

Li Ping’an couldn’t help but question, “Even without such a disaster, wouldn’t the Six Paths of Reincarnation come into existence when the time is ripe?

The catastrophe of the Sea of Blood logically has no connection to establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Are you perhaps simply trying to persuade me to ignore this matter and leave?”

The Faceless One sighed and said, “This is just one possible outcome deduced by the Heavenly Dao.

If we can prevent Ancestor Minghe from merging with the Inner Heavenly Dao, it would certainly be the best strategy.”

“How exactly should it be stopped?”

“This Poor Daoist cannot say.”

The Faceless One shook his head, his face flickering with celestial light, his voice carrying a tone of earnest admonition.

He said directly:

“Please, Your Majesty, return to the Misty Realm to hide away.

“When necessary, This Poor Daoist will envelop the Misty Realm and the nearby small heavens, to preserve the foundation of the Heavenly Court for you.

“Just wait two or three hundred years, and the self-awareness of Minghe will be eroded by the inner Heavenly Dao.

At that time, This Poor Daoist can suppress both simultaneously, and when you emerge, it will be just right to clean up the broken landscape…

Minghe has already started his ceremony.”

“He hides deep within the Sea of Blood and has arranged for a Calamity Master to launch a new offensive in the Western Continent.

“The Human Race has also prepared an offensive.

The two will encounter each other in an hour’s time and the greatest scale of chaotic battle to date will begin.

“Mo Linyuan’s palace will soon make its move; the inner Heavenly Dao will facilitate its fusion with Minghe and absorb the Asura Clan to shore up its own foundation.”

Li Ping’an suddenly said, “Is the only way to stop the fusion of Ancestor Minghe with the inner Heavenly Dao for me to enter its secret realm?”

The Faceless One remained silent.

Li Ping’an understood something then.

He just knew…

Forget it, let’s consider it as a responsibility and trial that must be endured by a Heavenly Emperor!

If one knows of such a disaster and merely watches from the sidelines, even if the Heavenly Dao sees no issue, one’s own conscience could not pass through this barrier.

Since there is a way, one must try it…

The Faceless One suddenly said, “It is not you who should enter; it is your father who needs to enter the inner Heavenly Dao.”

“Hmm?”

Li Ping’an immediately widened his eyes.

The Faceless One sighed and said, “The inner Heavenly Dao wants to merge with your father, to fill its own flaws and deficiencies; on Minghe’s side, he wishes to merge with the inner Heavenly Dao, which is compelled to accept him in a bid to turn the tables.”

Li Ping’an’s face darkened.

Just now, he had a small moment of self-motivation, thinking that to avoid mass suffering, he was willing to brave the dangers and stop Ancestor Minghe’s conspiracy within the inner Heavenly Dao.

Frankly speaking, playing the personal hero is quite dashing.

But the reality is…

Only his father is qualified to be that hero;

He can only wave flags and cheer from the outside, contacting masters to do what little he can.

Following this, Li Ping’an fell silent.

Should he tell his father about this?

“Can the Heavenly Dao inform the likelihood of Minghe’s success in merging with the inner Heavenly Dao?”

“Eighty-six percent.”

“If my father enters the inner Heavenly Dao…

what’s the probability that he will be consumed by it?”

“Ninety-eight percent, with only a slight chance of survival.”

“Then if my father enters the inner Heavenly Dao, can he stop Minghe?”

“Fifty percent hope.”

“I understand.”

Li Ping’an nodded, his expression solemn, “Pretend you haven’t told me anything, and I am unaware that Minghe is about to merge with the inner Heavenly Dao.”

The Faceless One seemed to show a relieved expression.

He said, “Your Majesty is wise, not everything here can attain perfection.

As long as you keep looking ahead, if the result in the future is good, then it is good.”

Li Ping’an was silently speechless.

He seemed to already see it, Ancestor Minghe sitting in the viscous pool of blood, with Yuan Tu Sword and Sword of Abi continuously revolving around him, his Primordial Spirit merging into the Sea of Blood, beginning to call out to the inner Heavenly Dao.

He also seemed to see, the Western Continent about to brew a storm, the Western Sect launching an offensive to cover for Ancestor Minghe, with the Human Race also taking the initiative to strike.

Masters of the Three Teachings are unable to dry up the Sea of Blood, unable to find Minghe’s traces;

The only method to stop Minghe rests with his father…

No, there is no method to stop Minghe.

This is the inner Heavenly Dao and Minghe’s evil doing; it is not the responsibility of his family’s Old Li.

To let go of the impulse to help others, to respect the fate of others.

Even if he cannot stop Minghe, he still can attempt something in the Sea of Blood, do his best.

Li Ping’an opened his eyes, a harshness flickering within them.

He stood up, took a deep breath, and let out a long howl, beginning to summon the masters of the Three Teachings.

“Jade Pool!

Send the Roc Bird over, escort my father and my two aunts to the Misty Realm first!”
