Chapter 1185: Chapter 419: Passive Mediation_2

“I will think of a way to go to Zixiao Palace to request Ancestral Master Hongjun for the Divine Deification List. Do any of you know what the Investiture of the Gods is?”

The majority of Immortals shook their heads simultaneously.

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi said, “This Poor Daoist has heard such sayings.”

Guang Chengzi and Taoist Duobao also nodded slightly.

Li Ping’an laughed:

“The Heavenly Dao birthed three treasures, the first to be born was the Book of Earth, originally the fetal membrane of Heaven and Earth, which later transformed into a supreme defensive treasure, opening up a realm named the Earthly Immortal Realm, controlled by Senior Zhenyuan.

“Besides the Book of Earth, there is also the Divine Deification List and the Book of Life and Death.

“What is the Book of Life and Death for? Actually, it governs the matters of beings reincarnating, probably brewing in the Sea of Blood, waiting for the occurrence of the six paths of reincarnation in the Vast Wilderness.

“As for what the six paths of reincarnation are and the specific functions of the Book of Life and Death, I won’t explain them to you in detail because these will naturally occur in later calamities.

“The Divine Deification List, as the name implies, is meant for deification. This list is quite miraculous; as long as a name is written on it, maybe along with birthdate characters or something, in any case, once a name is written on it, this being can no longer die. Whether it’s a Primordial Being or a Postnatal Being, even if turned to ashes, a trace of their soul will remain.”

Immortal Huanglong’s eyes lit up: “This treasure is excellent!”

“Excellent? Uncle, aren’t you oversimplifying things?”

Li Ping’an sighed:

“I actually didn’t wish to tell this to all of you elders to avoid affecting your perception of me and the New Heavenly Court. It’s not my scheme; I’m just doing the work being pushed to the forefront by several great figures due to fate.

“If a name of a powerful figure from the Taoist Sect appears on the Divine Deification List, the Heavenly Dao will lock onto this being and make them a god on the list.

“The Heavenly Dao will arrange for this master to meet their demise, causing a trace of their soul to be forever locked within the Divine Deification List, thereby becoming part of the Heavenly Dao.

“The soul trace that enters the list doesn’t need to mention whether it has freedom; it is absolutely unable to defy the will of the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Emperor as a spirit of the Heavenly Dao.

“This is the Dao Immortal Tribulation.

“You all have long known that the cause of the Dao Immortal Tribulation is because the Three Teachings of the Daoist Sect are too strong, with disciples occupying too much of the Great Dao. For the Heavenly Dao to master as much of the Great Dao as possible to perfect itself and Heaven and Earth, it must recoup the Great Dao from all of you.

“The New Heavenly Court is established, followed by the Investiture of the Gods by the Heavenly Court. This is the Dao Immortal Tribulation, also termed as the Investiture of the Gods Catastrophe.

“And you all…”

Li Ping’an surveyed the surroundings:

“After the Six Great Masters become Saints, although their strength will surpass their original levels by far, they will also become the cornerstone of the Heavenly Dao.

“If a disciple of the Sect Hierarch can become a small cornerstone of the Heavenly Dao, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”

“That last sentence is a joke.”

The smiles of the Immortals were somewhat stiff.

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi wondered: “Ping’an, where did you learn this information? Logically, only Ancestral Master Hongjun, my teacher, and I should know about it; my teacher has hidden this matter from the Heavenly Dao.”

Li Ping’an reacted swiftly, smiling: “Great Uncle, do not underestimate the Heavenly Dao.”

The Great Mage leaned back slightly then sighed helplessly.

“What Your Majesty said is all true, fellow junior brothers and sisters, please take it seriously.”

The atmosphere on the city wall suddenly became even gloomier.

First, there was almost a fight between Chanjie, and then Li Ping’an pointed out the truth of the Dao Immortal Tribulation directly; these Daoist Celestials no longer felt the joy of victory after a great battle.

Taoist Duobao cheerfully said: “Alright, alright, today we triumphed over the Innate Gods and Demons, increasing blessings and longevity for Heaven and Earth, it’s proper to celebrate, then I’ll take the Intercepting Sect Immortals back to Jinao Island. Too many people, we won’t bother the Heavenly Court, lest we bankrupt it.”

The atmosphere here immediately eased.

Guang Chengzi also said: “Today, hearing about the Dao Immortal Tribulation, indeed made the trip worthwhile. Though Innate Gods and Demons are difficult to counter, this time the battle was near Heaven and Earth, and all Three Teachings of the Taoist Sect sent their elite forces, with fewer casualties; truly a blessing. Fellow members, take good care to recover.”

The senior brothers of the Two Teachings spoke, and the Immortals each bid their farewell.

Li Ping’an smiled and bowed to the left and right. As the Immortals were about to leave, he spoke again:

“Esteemed teachers, I have a few questions I’d like to ask.”

The Immortals descended from their clouds, halted their divine skills, and turned to look at Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an pondered for a moment, his expression gradually becoming quite solemn, then slowly said:

“The first question is about the rampage of the Innate Gods and Demons this time. Logically, that Calamity Venerable could not understand the Innate Gods and Demons mutually, let alone communicate with them; how did the Venerable accomplish this? If you esteemed teachers can find the answer, please send word to the Heavenly Court.

“The second question is related to the Dao Immortal Tribulation and Investiture of the Gods Catastrophe that I just mentioned.

“If a soul becomes enslaved without freedom by entering the Divine Deification List, would the Dao Body itself still retain some freedom if it enters the list?

“Also, the third question… though the Investiture of the Gods is a calamity for the Taoist Sect, it is a selection process for true gods for the Heavenly Court. Esteemed teachers, do you think this New Heavenly Emperor should consider maintaining the purity of the Heavenly Court’s true god team by prioritizing the Human Race and Taoist Sect?”

After speaking, Li Ping’an bowed his head deeply.

The Immortals, having been through the Vast Wilderness for so long, naturally understood the importance of tone beyond the literal words, and most grasped the underlying meaning in Li Ping’an’s questions.

These hundred Immortals were all top figures of the Taoist Sect; what they knew was equivalent to the Taoist Sect knowing.

Taoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi bowed again, then the Immortals from the two sects left in batches, parting ways.

Li Ping’an sighed softly, dressed in black robes, he gazed at the backs of the Immortals, his eyes slightly complicated.

A delicate hand reached over from the side, gently hooking his arm.

Lady Ba said softly: “Don’t think too much, being able to tell the myriad Immortals of the Taoist Sect so much, you have already lived up to the identity of a Disciple of the Taoist Sect.”

“Isn’t it a bit too early?”

Xuan Du Da Fa Shi frowned and said:

“Teacher said, the Investiture of the Gods list should not appear for at least a thousand years, saying it now might cause more problems when the time comes.”

Li Ping’an shrugged: “That would be the Saint’s headache then.”

The nearby Immortals couldn’t help but smile.

Immortal Huanglong cleared his throat and said slowly: “Your Majesty, this Poor Daoist is off to see Stone Ji’s friend out.”

“Hey,” Li Ping’an quickly called out, “Shishu, you can’t leave, I still need you to contribute next.”

Immortal Huanglong was puzzled: “What can this Poor Daoist do? Ahem, this Poor Daoist now knows a little about sneak attacks and assassination.”

The appreciation in Stone Ji’s gaze instantly increased a few notches.

The gaze seemed to say: ‘He can even bring up such unsophisticated methods like sneak attacks and assassinations, and speak of them with such elegance.’

Li Ping’an shivered as goosebumps threatened to break out all over.

These old Immortals’ romantic advances are really sickeningly sweet.

“Dragon Ancient Realm is destroyed, the Dragon Clan has no place to go,” Li Ping’an said with a smile, “I want to take this opportunity to subdue the Dragon Clan, not in the form of cooperation.”

Immortal Huanglong’s face immediately filled with bitterness.

He knew today would come.

In the Zixiao Palace.

A game of chess had come to an end, and Taiqing Old Master lowered his head, pondering something.

Hongjun lazily gathered the chess pieces one by one, and said slowly:

“What are you idly thinking about again, Daoist? Isn’t Li Ping’an handling things well? If he really continues like this, perhaps, the Three Teachings won’t have to fight.”

Taiqing Old Master said: “A physical body on the list, impure Dao laws, is just a compromise.”

Hongjun’s expression paused, sighing: “Indeed, you only have this world in your heart, burdened with Pangu God’s memories, your stance is actually not with the beings, but with the world.”

“Teacher, can the traces of the Calamity Lord be tracked down?”

“Hey, what do you want to do?”

Hongjun frowned and said:

“You promised me, a thousand years before you can return to the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, if you go back now, I would break my word.”

“Rest assured, Teacher.”

Taiqing Old Master slowly turned his head, looking somewhat helplessly at the one among the five remaining light pillars that was progressing the slowest.

One of the Six Great Masters has seriously dragged behind.

But he did not say who that master was.

“If Teacher can find the track of the Calamity, please let me know, I will send my Disciple to conclude his karma with the world.”

“Well,” Hongjun thought for a moment, “He has fled to the depths of the Chaos Sea, I can sense his approximate location now, but exactly where he is, I can’t explain clearly, and you needn’t worry, another fellow has already targeted the Calamity, the Calamity is likely to suffer.”

Taiqing Old Master nodded slowly, not asking further.

Taoist Hongjun wondered: “Aren’t you curious about who has targeted the Calamity?”

“Outside of the Six Great Masters, less than ten Great Powers can stand long in the Chaos Sea, it’s not difficult to guess who it is.”

Taiqing Old Master closed his eyes, meditating, as if he were asleep,

Taoist Hongjun hesitated to speak, his desire to express stuck in his throat, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Well then, count him as wordy.

Meanwhile;

In a corner of the Chaos Sea not far from the Dragon Ancient Realm, where strands of Chaotic Aura floated wantonly.

Calamity Lord frowned as he looked at the vague figure in front of him, his eyes showed more ease.

“Teacher of the Emperor, what do you mean?”
