Chapter 1201: Chapter 426: Splitting Forces into Two Paths

Southern Continent, the land of the Human Race’s fate, it was also the battlefield of Xuanyuan’s conquest back in the day.

After the ancient era concluded, due to the disagreements and conflicts between Xuanyuan Huangdi and Holy Mother Nuwa, Holy Mother Nuwa and Fuxi Shi collaborated to set up the Skycutter Great Array, isolating the Southern Continent from the other three continents.

This cut off the practice of Qi Cultivation in the Southern Continent.

The last intersection Li Ping’an had with the Southern Continent was related to human sacrifices from there.

The so-called human sacrifice, as the name implies, refers to mortals treated like livestock, even lower in status than slaves, used for sacrificial rites and funerals.

Back then, the Holy Mother left the main world for six thousand years due to being stimulated by the human sacrifices and funerals from the Southern Continent, feeling that the Human Race was too cruel. Fearing she might extinguish the millions of humans on the Southern Continent, she mournfully retreated to the Chaos Sea.

After being reminded by Li Dazhi, determining that the demon infant events in the East and West Continents might be related to the Southern Continent, Xuanyuan Huangdi was momentarily troubled.

The Southern Continent only has a divine court born from the thoughts of the masses, and no Qi Cultivators or cultivators exist there, even well-trained mortal guards at most compare to Qi Cultivators in the spirit-gathering realm.

Demon infants can grow rapidly, with relatively terrifying destruction towards mortals;

If slightly careless, there’s a high possibility of triggering a massive disaster in the Southern Continent.

Strictly speaking, the current East and West Continents belong to the Human Race’s cultivation world, the Southern Continent is truly the great mortal realm of the Human Race, and even more so the foundation of the Human Race’s fate.

Xuanyuan Huangdi and Li Ping’an, after deliberating, decided this matter cannot be delayed and must be dealt with promptly.

The two were decisive, immediately starting to gather subordinates and call for aid.

Xuanyuan Huangdi summoned over a dozen ministers, as well as the left attendant chief of the Holy Mother Palace.

——Matters concerning the Southern Continent cannot bypass the Holy Mother Palace, which holds the secret of entry and exit.

Li Ping’an summoned his own master and Guilingling, and also invited two Immortals from Chan Teaching (Taiyi and Yu Ding) and two Great Immortals from Jie Sect (Zhao Gongming and Qiong Xiao), starting with a configuration of five Da Luo from the Taoist Sect.

Emperor Li Tian had grown accustomed to fighting affluent battles.

Moreover, the mysterious arrival of these demon infants, there might be hidden plots behind, calling more experts certainly wouldn’t go wrong.

Before long, Zhao Gongming arrived with Qiong Xiao from the East Sea, Yu Ding and Taiyi descended by cloud from the northwest, Guilingling and Qing Su appeared together.

Ningning Mu, fearing her weak cultivation might hinder the important matters, voluntarily stayed in Xuanyuan Palace to strive to build good relations with Xuanyuan Huangdi’s ‘equitable’ beloved concubines.

The Immortals, upon hearing about the demon infants, expressed peculiar expressions upon seeing those babies inside wooden cages.

Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and softly chanted: “Who could be such treacherous scoundrels, to act against such infants, truly malicious.”

“We still haven’t identified the mastermind behind this.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi showed a look of shame:

“The Human Race was plotted against, and as the Human Emperor, I have not fulfilled my duty, truly embarrassed.”

Zhao Gongming cupped his hands and said: “Your Majesty, why worry? We are here to lend a helping hand to the Human Race.”

Immortal Yuding asked: “How is the situation in the Southern Continent?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi shook his head and briefly narrated the process of discovering the demon infants and their previous speculations to the deities.

Qiongxiao Celestial Maiden and Guiling were whispering something in a corner.

Qing Su in a white dress bent down to observe the sleeping girl child, carefully extended her finger and poked the white scales on the child’s face.

Jade Pool sat in the adjacent room, focusing on handling Heavenly Court affairs, arranging personnel in various small realms, constantly patrolling for any anomalies among newborns in every place.

Li Ping’an, Li Dazhi, along with the self-moving immortal armor carrying the Heavenly Dao’s Faceless One, were in a corner exchanging whispers.

They made new discoveries again.

Li Dazhi said: “I’ve just had the Heavenly Dao do a statistic, dividing by the sequence of the demon infants’ appearances, the earliest appeared close to the direction of the Skycutter Great Array, then gradually spread outward.”

Li Ping’an asked: “Is it possible that it’s something like a virus or bacteria?”

“Doesn’t seem like it,” Li Dazhi replied, “In today’s conditions, no way to check microorganisms, your dad hasn’t done this job, I only know a bit about overall statistics.”

Li Ping’an pondered with hands behind his back.

The voice of the Heavenly Dao’s Faceless One echoed in the father and son’s hearts: “This Poor Daoist cannot currently bypass the Skycutter Great Array, whatever situation is over in the Southern Continent still needs Immortals to enter for investigation, later, please act cautiously, do not venture at risk.”

Li Dazhi nodded: “What Little Tian says is very reasonable, yeah.”

“Dad,” Li Ping’an said helplessly, “Do I really look like someone so diligent?”

“Not just look like,” Li Dazhi clicked his tongue, “Don’t I know you? Occasionally ambitious, impulsively selfless, if encountering injustice, it’s drawing the sword, quick to action with not a care in the world about having an elderly father at home needing support.”

Li Ping’an:…

The Heavenly Dao’s Faceless One said: “Heavenly Emperor Father, His Majesty is no longer such an impulsive character, His Majesty’s over a hundred long-term plans each have great benefits to the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth.”

Li Ping’an asked: “Should we call the Eastern King over?”

“He’s in seclusion breaking through the Heavenly Immortal Realm,” Li Dazhi said, “Though reincarnated with past memories to rebuild cultivation, there are some differences in attaining the Great Dao this time compared to last life, seclusion is quite important.”

“Then forget it.”

Li Ping’an sighed: “These demon infants appeared so inexplicably mysterious, I was thinking to call more smart people over for consultation.”

“Three ordinary fellows together are as smart as a Zhuge Liang, what to fear.”

Li Dazhi stretched his sleeves, turned his head to glance around the room, frowned and said:

“That left attendant chief won’t be playing any tricks, it’s been so long without arriving.”

As his words fell, beams of gold and silver light descended from the sky, the left attendant chief appearing in the courtyard with several old women.
