Chapter 1179: Chapter 417 Lingxiao Opens the Way, Chaos Surrounds the Hunt!_2

Li Ping’an pondered briefly, then closed his eyes and let his mind return to his Primordial Spirit, communicating with the Heavenly Dao for a while.

Soon, he opened his eyes and said: “We need bait, and the Heavenly Dao can provide it.”

“What sort of bait?” Guilingling asked in a crisp voice.

Li Ping’an raised his hand to rub his brow, his expression a bit strange, and said in a low voice, “The manifestation of the power of order… Simply put, it’s me…”

The immortals looked puzzled.

Li Ping’an sighed and said, “The Heavenly Dao sure held back a trick. It didn’t mention this method until all the experts were gathered. Later, I will grasp the core of order and offer a flaw of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth to the Innate Gods and Demons; the rest depends on everyone.”

Duobao asked, “Will your Majesty be in danger?”

“A bit,” Li Ping’an showed a bitter smile, “but the opportunity is rare. If we wait for these Innate Gods and Demons to scatter, the vast Chaos Sea will be filled with hiding places, making it extremely difficult for us to hunt them. Let’s seek fortune amid danger.”

Guang Chengzi said, “Please, Majesty, take care of yourself.”

“Thank you, Uncle, for your concern. I won’t joke around with my life.”

Li Ping’an flipped his palm, and the phantom of the Lingxiao Palace quietly suspended in the air.

He pondered briefly and ordered again: “I need tens of thousands of Celestial Soldiers to create momentum.”

Lady Ba immediately said, “I’ll go to transport the Celestial Soldiers!”

“Thank you, General.”

“No, no, Majesty has it harder.”

So they exchanged glances and smiled gently, with affection in their eyes.

Beside them, Guilingling rolled her eyes, swept her arm for goosebumps, and pouted discontentedly.

Putting on an act in public, who in the Taoist Sect doesn’t know that the Heavenly Emperor and the General are on good terms.

‘Anyway, if Qing Qing and Ningning see this, they’ll surely be upset.’

Guilingling thought angrily.

…

Tens of thousands of Celestial Soldiers quickly gathered.

Meanwhile, Lady Ba directly took action, transporting the second batch of Heavenly Court reinforcements, who were still en route, to near the Dragon Ancient Realm.

Li Ping’an made some preparations.

He changed into a gold-embroidered black robe, mainly to emphasize his authority, and used the Heavenly Dao’s merits to repair the previously damaged Fallen Immortal Seal, enhancing his protection ability.

He then commanded the Celestial Soldiers to beat the drums and advance the formation, hovering above the soldiers, as the phantom of the Lingxiao Palace in his palm suddenly expanded.

The Heavenly Dao’s merits were rapidly consumed;

Soon, the magnificent giant palace, seemingly sculpted from white jade, appeared above the Celestial Soldiers.

It was after the Lingxiao Palace had basically formed that Li Ping’an summoned it for the first time; its rich power of Heavenly Dao and order drew the attention of the masters from the Three Teachings, Dragons, Witches, and Humans.

Li Ping’an stood with hands behind his back on a high platform, his voice spreading emotionlessly throughout:

“Celestial Soldiers, enter the formation, fill my main hall.”

Tens of thousands of Celestial Soldiers turned into streams of light and flew into the hall, guided by Heavenly Dao. Several thousand soldiers stood around the four sides of the hall, guarding the massive stone pillars, while tens of thousands stood on the surrounding stairways, forming a dense wall of people.

Next, Li Ping’an extended his left hand forward, seemingly grasping a Treasure Bead out of thin air; celestial light erupted atop the dome of the hall, connecting and integrating tens of thousands of Celestial Soldiers, who seemed to become part of the hall.

Li Ping’an’s voice carried far:

“This hall can battle the Innate Gods and Demons; today, I pilot this hall to fight the Innate Gods and Demons, to open territories for the Vast Wilderness!”

—Of course, ‘expanding territories’ was just a cover for the real purpose of hunting the Innate Gods and Demons.

With those words, Li Ping’an pressed down with his left hand, and the not-yet-physical Lingxiao Palace began accelerating continuously, flying toward the membrane of heaven and earth in the Dragon Ancient Realm.

Almost in an instant, the Innate Gods and Demons outside heaven and earth reacted, with dozens of them starting to withdraw slowly, seemingly quite apprehensive about the hall.

Are they going to flee directly?

Li Ping’an carefully observed and soon dispelled his doubts.

These Innate Gods and Demons also understood the principle of ‘drawing back a fist to strike with maximum force’; their voluntary retreat was to gather strength and create a buffer space.

Every great demon began summoning, creating swarms of Chaos Creatures.

In response, Li Ping’an spoke again: “Fellow Taoists, please assist the Heavenly Court, safeguard all beings!”

As his voice faded, hundreds of streams of light flew in from all directions, landing on the steps in front of the Lingxiao Palace.

The sound of hundreds of dragons roaring echoed simultaneously, as a hundred battle dragons swirled around the Lingxiao Palace, flying chaotically, while hundreds of the most powerful sea race elites and more than a hundred Ocean Race masters positioned themselves in front and to both sides of the palace.

The Lingxiao Palace approached the membrane of heaven and earth.

Chaos Creatures outside the earth and heaven membrane began to roar incessantly;

The rules of earth and heaven and the Chaos Sea were colliding, creating various peculiar phenomena outside the membrane.

The power of order and the power of chaos were confronting each other with full force.

Some Innate Gods and Demons couldn’t help but push forward, but most kept a certain distance, watching the palace from afar.

The palace floated out of the earth and heaven membrane!

Even though it represented the power of order for the Vast Wilderness… later, when Li Ping’an and others returned to the main earth and heaven, they had to make a detour through Xuan Capital City.

The dome of the Lingxiao Palace revealed sun, moon, and stars.

Li Ping’an’s Dao heart was suddenly filled with many insights, as the Avenue of All Beings, Slaughter Path, and Avenue of Azure Clouds resonated together.

Outside the Lingxiao Palace appeared a wondrous sight!

Countless chaotic auras were attracted to this immortal hall, yet were isolated by the light surrounding the hall; these auras then started disassembling, collapsing, transforming into pure yin and yang energy and pure Spiritual Power.

Clear air rose, and turbid air descended.
