Chapter 1153: Chapter 405: Heavenly Emperor Enhances Combat Power, Dazhi Comes Enticed by Fragrance_2

The Faceless One said:

“The Innate Gods and Demons, who have long been lurking outside the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, have recently begun to revolt repeatedly. Over ten Great Gods and Demons have now gathered outside Xuan Capital City.

“Taiqing has already dispatched many Immortals who accompanied you here… Your father has also been sent over.”

Li Ping’an: …

His father had just achieved the rank of Golden Immortal, and now he’s being sent to battle the Innate Gods and Demons?

Isn’t this just throwing meat buns to a dog—cough, isn’t this forcing the impossible?

“Make sure nothing happens to my father.”

“You can rest assured, this poor Daoist is watching over him,” the Faceless One sighed, “Your father is also a teacher of this poor Daoist. He has greatly contributed to completing this poor Daoist’s understanding, teaching me how to establish the order of Heaven and Earth using the weak, broadening my horizons, and clarifying the essence of human nature.”

Li Ping’an couldn’t help but smile.

He didn’t say more and swiftly entered a state of meditation and seclusion.

In the following month, he had to simultaneously review past knowledge and explore deeper Daoist principles. Time indeed felt somewhat insufficient.

Unexpectedly, the spirit within the coffin delivered its first lesson—the second class turned out to be…

Combat training.

…

Xuan Capital City.

Li Dazhi sat crouched in a corner of the city wall, staring at the obscure, chaotic grey mist outside Xuan Capital City’s walls.

Good heavens, has the Xuan Du Da Fa Shi been fighting monsters here all these countless years?

Throughout the past few months, Li Dazhi truly gained new insights as if a knife had opened his eyes.

At first, he thought the creatures of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth were just hybrid monstrosities from the Demon Race, odd mixes of various traits; yet after the few rounds of defending Xuan Capital City, he realized how varied the monstrous species in the Vast Wilderness truly were.

The Chaos Sea has no fixed rules, and the appearances of the Innate Gods and Demons seemed to be entirely up to their whims.

Li Dazhi had seen “bacteria” with bodies spanning tens of thousands of miles—things that looked like single-celled organisms covered in flagella;

Also, monstrosities with hundreds of various heads, able to produce hundreds of different sounds simultaneously;

And blobs of sludge shifting between solid and liquid states like a shapeshifting entity;

A perfectly square box with near-perfect symmetry;

Creatures with heads consisting solely of mouths yet possessing remarkably alluring and graceful bodies—the “seductive demons”… and so on.

They were wildly diverse, difficult to describe in detail.

According to the Xuan Du Da Fa Shi, when he first came to sit here, the appearances of the Innate Gods and Demons were even more varied—words could barely depict their semblances back then.

However, after countless ages of magical combat, the Innate Gods and Demons gradually became influenced and assimilated by Heaven and Earth.

Now, they were considered relatively “good-looking.”

Li Dazhi asked why Pangu appeared so pleasing to the eye.

The Xuan Du Da Fa Shi replied—it was Pangu who defined what counts as a Dao Body, and the aesthetics of the Creatures of the Primordial World were built on this foundation.

As long as Xuan Capital City did not fall, the membrane enclosing Heaven and Earth would not collapse, and any Innate God or Demon stepping into the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth would be suppressed by its rules, their strength reduced significantly.

Thus, Xuan Capital City naturally became the primary target for the attacks of these Innate Gods and Demons.

Still…

“When will this ever end?”

Li Dazhi crouched there, visibly conflicted.

There were plenty of tasks waiting for him; sitting daily watching Great Powers combat monsters felt somewhat wasteful.

As he was pondering, the chaotic aura ahead suddenly surged. Waves of grey mist rushed toward Xuan Capital City like tsunamis, while the city stood unmoved like a rocky reef.

Over a dozen figures sprang out from the walls.

The Xuan Du Da Fa Shi raised his hand, summoning the Tai Chi Diagram, while the ruler of Heaven and Earth in his hand emitted tremors.

Jin Ling, Taiyi, and other experts simultaneously retrieved their divine treasures, focusing intently on the turbulent chaotic aura.

Within the aura suddenly appeared hundreds of colossal disorganized eyes, each concealing ominous shadows.

The Great Mage gave a thunderous shout, and the Immortals hurled their treasures, unleashing a full-force assault toward the source of the eyes.

Li Dazhi remembered last time, just staring at the eyes for a moment had left him dizzy. This time, merely glancing prompted him to quickly duck and hide.

“My goodness, it’s that big-eyed monster again—please let it not bring seven or eight Great Gods and Demons at once this time.”

Soon, the sounds of wings flapping resounded from all directions.

Countless grotesque, gigantic insects surged out from the Chaos Sea, swarming toward Xuan Capital City like a massive tide.

Li Dazhi’s eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed several Spiritual Treasures.

He couldn’t handle the great monsters, but dealing with smaller ones offered him a chance to contribute.

Although…

Engaging in magical combat wasn’t nearly as fun as logistics work.

With a deep sigh, Li Dazhi mulled over Casting Cloud Sect, the Hundred Clans Inspector’s Office in the Western Continent, and other matters, searching for an excuse to leave.

‘I wonder how Ping’an is doing.’

‘That Transcender is truly overpowered—he’s already transcended, yet insists on meddling with other realms. So unsporting.’

The bizarre insects quickly swarmed the great array surrounding Xuan Capital City.

The dozen Taoist Sect experts, while fiercely battling the Great Gods and Demons, also had to clear out these “small” creatures, gradually depleting their immortal powers.

If only the Great Mage were here alone; though the Tai Chi Diagram kept Xuan Capital City secure, it would undoubtedly drain his energy and leave him severely exhausted each time.

Fortunately, Taiqing had called upon Jin Ling, Taiyi, and other masters for assistance, bringing some relief to the Great Mage.

Thus, several months passed again.

The fierce battles around Xuan Capital City waged on intermittently, and Li Dazhi had visibly grown thinner from his efforts.

One day, the Great Mage finally remembered Li Dazhi. Following an intense clash with the Innate Gods and Demons, he descended gracefully beside Li Dazhi.

“Daoist friend, why are you still here?”

Li Dazhi: …

Wasn’t it your master who commanded me to come here?

I’ve been battling small monsters for half a year now, and you honestly didn’t notice?

Li Dazhi chuckled and said, “I simply wanted to contribute to the tranquility of Heaven and Earth.”

“Ah, I see,” the Great Mage beamed, “However, this place is ultimately too dangerous. Your cultivation is insufficient to oppose enemies here. Why not return for now… Where is the Roc Bird?”
