Chapter 1203: Chapter 427: Such a Southern Continent

This secret location indeed has no problems.

After thorough inspection by Li Ping’an, Houtu, and Jade Pool, they reached a unanimous conclusion.

According to what The Faceless One of Heavenly Dao said, Heavenly Dao has always been providing special protection to this place, and no new Spiritual Power has appeared in the Sea of Blood.

The issue of the Demon Infant may truly not be related to the Sea of Blood.

Li Dazhi also conducted a serious examination, wrapping the sleeping girl infant in immortal power, and she did not react at all, even letting out soft breaths…

Jade Pool softly said, “Excluding this place, the source of the problem should be in the Southern Continent.”

“With Uncle Master Zhao leading the team, there shouldn’t be any trouble.”

Li Ping’an bowed his head in thought, as some insights rapidly flashed through his mind.

Could the Demon Infants possibly stem from ‘genetic mutations’ within the Human Race itself?

Or perhaps, are the numerous human sacrifices in the Southern Continent causing trouble?

Beside him, Xuanyuan Huangdi gently stroked the Yuan Tu Sword and said calmly, “Since we’ve come to the Sea of Blood, it wouldn’t be right not to pay a visit to Ancestor Minghe. Wait for me for a moment.”

After speaking, Xuanyuan Huangdi pointed forward with his left hand, and the Xuanyuan Sword unsheathed itself, emitting brilliant rays of light that split the Sea of Blood apart.

The Human Emperor’s eyes were full of flames, his left hand holding the Xuanyuan Sword, his right hand wielding the Yuan Tu Sword, his figure streaking across the Sea of Blood like a comet, heading straight for the largest undersea city of the Asura in the northern part of the Sea of Blood.

“Be careful, Senior Brother!”

Li Ping’an called out, “Roc Bird, go protect the Human Emperor, retreat if you can’t win!”

“Yes!”

The Roc Bird cupped its hands in salute, then transformed into its original form, flashing to hover continuously over Xuanyuan Huangdi’s head.

Li Dazhi laughed and said, “It’s rare, our Human Emperor, at such an age, still maintains such vigorous combat power… Ping’an, you should learn from him. That’s what gives confidence to a harem of three thousand!”

Li Ping’an forced a perfunctory smile, gazing towards the direction Xuanyuan Huangdi had left, and murmured:

“I wonder when I will have the same strength as Senior Brother.”

Jade Pool softly said, “His Majesty’s power has already increased too quickly. If he goes a few more times to listen to those Transcenders, I’m afraid I won’t be his opponent anymore.”

Li Ping’an immediately stood with his head held high, his entire being beginning to exude a bit of Heavenly Emperor’s aura.

Li Dazhi looked at the infant wrapped in immortal power and sighed, “These infants are quite pitiful; what did they do to deserve being schemed against like this?”

Houtu sighed faintly, actively embracing the infant, and softly said, “Your Majesty, may I ask you to agree to one thing.”

“Is it about the handling of these Demon Infants?”

Li Ping’an said softly:

“Leave this matter to you and my father to handle together.

“The priority now is to prevent more Demon Infants from being born. The number of existing Demon Infants is not too large. This world is vast; we can give them a space to grow and a chance to heal.”

Houtu breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

“You have a kind heart, Daoist friend,” Li Ping’an cupped his hands slightly, without further elaboration.

The Great Wu named Jiang crossed his arms in his sleeves, puzzled, “From ancient times to now, I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

The other three Great Wu also spoke up:

“Someone must be up to no good!”

“Didn’t the Calamity Lord escape to the Chaos Sea? Could he be secretly poisoning?”

“Do you think the Great Mage Xuan Du, who guards the Desolate Era, is just for show? How could the Great Mage Xuan Du let the Calamity Lord return? It’s stirring up trouble with the Innate Gods and Demons against us.”

“Is entering our Desolate Era the only way through the Xuan Capital City?”

“Of course not, the grand formation is there.”

Li Ping’an laughed, “Currently, it indeed seems there’s only the route through Xuan Capital City, otherwise the Innate Gods and Demons would have come long ago to cause trouble…”

He suddenly hesitated, then murmured softly.

“Route?”

Li Ping’an looked down at the spring water, and regardless of the image of the Heavenly Emperor, crouched beside the spring, reaching his hand into it.

The Avenue of All Beings responded naturally, wisps of immortal light merging into the spring water, within which appeared faint bubbles one after another.

Each bubble contained a shadow of a fetus, and each fetus was in a normal condition, with no signs of becoming a Demon Infant.

And after lingering here for a few circles, these spring waters would vanish into the void.

Li Ping’an abruptly said, “Do you think there could be some pathways, perhaps opened by The Great Dao, perhaps naturally formed, connecting here and the surface?”

Houtu and Jade Pool each looked over.

Jade Pool asked, “Do you suspect there’s a problem with this path?”

“Very simple, just eliminate it to find out.”

Li Ping’an quickly said:

“From the number and ratio of Demon Infants, in the mundane world of the Eastern and Western Continents, they are not continuously distributed, and even with Human Race patrols of the immortal soldiers everywhere, Demon Infants continue to be born, which basically rules out poisoning by evil cultivators.

“If all infants in one city turned into Demon Infants, the first thing we would think is that some evil cultivators used a Secret Technique against the pregnant women in that city.

“But there’s no issue with the parents of the Demon Infants, the problem lies entirely with the infants themselves.

“When fetuses are in their mother’s womb, they are still in an Innate state, so there must be an issue in some stage before their birth.

“The Sea of Blood secret location is normal, but what about the path that transports the pregnancy spirits from here?”

Houtu said, “The pregnancy spirits generated here account for only three or four percent compared to the infants born in the Human Race. Most infants develop their own spirituality within their mother’s body.”

“I understand that.”

Li Ping’an pondered a few sounds:

“The innate environment in which infants reside is relatively closed off, and the number of these currently born Demon Infants is not large.

“Can this path be detected using The Great Dao or Divine Skills?”

The immortals and witches present looked at each other.

“Let me try.”
