Chapter 1219: Chapter 433: Touring 3 Islands, Visiting 5 Mountains_2

These spiritual powers seem to share the same origin.

Li Ping’an stood beside several slumbering Demon Infants, pointing lightly on their foreheads, drawing out tiny glimmers of light and gently twirling them between his fingers.

With a revelation dawning upon him, he closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and cast the art of blocking distractions. When he opened his eyes again, the flesh of the Demon Infants before him had become transparent, leaving only faint outlines and a point of black mingled with gold at their foreheads.

Li Ping’an lifted his gaze to the left, and through dozens of palace walls, he saw a flame of black infused with gold.

That flame was the sovereign, and these light specks were its ministers.

Needless to say, the owner of the flame was naturally his sworn sister… Yao Ji.

‘Ah, is this Innate God and Demon version of Yao Ji really alright?’

Li Ping’an transformed into a wisp of clear wind and floated over to the grand hall where Yao Ji resided, soon finding his forehead marked by black lines.

The three or four-year-old adorable little girl, carved from jade and sculpted from powder, was at that moment dressed in a small tank top and a light pink miniature fairy skirt, lounging in a recliner with her legs crossed.

Beside her, several fairies served her Immortal Fruits, snacks, and noodles, while an elderly woman invited from the Holy Mother Palace narrated ancient Human Race legends to her.

What a demeanor of a Heavenly Court’s young lady!

“Eh?”

Little Yao Ji tilted her head, glancing in the direction where Li Ping’an was, then gestured with her two little hands:

“Yah! Oh! Look! Look!”

Li Ping’an’s forehead was again marked by black lines.

She still can’t speak.

Subsequently, Li Ping’an smiled with narrowed eyes, quietly merging through the door, crossing the barrier without a sound, slowly approaching little Yao Ji.

The little girl seemed terrified, curling into a ball on the recliner, her whole body trembling.

The instructing old woman and the fairies didn’t know why, hurriedly comforting her with gentle voices.

“Yao Ji, don’t be afraid, what’s wrong?”

“Be careful, quickly call Immortal Qing Su!”

Then came the sound of “waah,” as little Yao Ji raised her head and cried aloud.

Li Ping’an chuckled awkwardly, maintaining his hidden state as he withdrew with his hands behind his back, leaving little Yao Ji in the arms of a fairy, still crying incessantly.

A graceful silhouette pierced through the clouds and came.

It was Qing Su who had arrived.

Li Ping’an hid behind a pillar, concealing his own aura, finally quieting little Yao Ji’s cries.

Then, Li Ping’an witnessed a side of his master he had never revealed to him.

“What happened?”

Qing Su asked gently, holding little Yao Ji in her arms, softly patting her back.

Little Yao Ji rested her chin on Qing Su’s slightly frail shoulder, pearl-like tears dripping down, appearing immensely wronged.

Qing Su soothed her with a gentle voice, then sat with Yao Ji in a recliner.

Before long, the little one had fallen into a deep sleep in Qing Su’s arms, and Qing Su placed her on a nearby bed.

Qing Su traced her fingers, wrapping Yao Ji in a layer of barrier.

She turned and said, “This is the Heavenly Emperor’s younger sister, with extraordinary origins, do not neglect her.”

“Yes,” the old woman and fairies complied with a slight bow.

Qing Su stood by the bed for a while longer, ensuring Yao Ji was alright before intending to return to her original Immortal Palace to continue meditating.

“Master?”

A gentle call reached her ears, Qing Su was slightly taken aback, lifting her head to look ahead.

Li Ping’an stood leaning against a wooden pillar, arms crossed, his back to the morning light, strands of hair beneath his daoist hairpin fluttering with the breeze, his face adorned with a somewhat pleasant, non-offensive smile.

“Why are you here?”

Qing Su asked softly, instinctively placing her originally clasped hands behind her back.

The hem of her white skirt swayed slightly; she was already close to Li Ping’an.

Qing Su said, “Aren’t you supposed to be busy with establishing the Heavenly Court now?”

“I was concerned about the situation here, so I came to have a look. Besides, I’m not too busy, I just need to pay respects to the various masters later.”

Without making any gestures, only a slight eye movement, and Qing Su already understood and utilized the art of stealth, strolling with Li Ping’an along this long corridor.

Qing Su said, “What do you intend to do with these Demon Infants? They only listen to Yao Ji.”

“Hmm,” Li Ping’an thought for a moment, “Let’s raise them on this island for now, it won’t take much manpower or resources. Later we’ll see how they develop. If they become a threat to the world, we’ll have to be decisive.”

Qing Su slightly pursed her lips, “They are quite adorable, though.”

“Most younglings of creatures are rather cute,” Li Ping’an laughed, “It’s a form of cuteness protection, meant to stir the protective instincts of other creatures.”

Qing Su did not understand, but she also did not like to pry into matters.

The two strolled along the corridor for a while, and Qing Su casually mentioned Yao Ji’s inability to speak.

“I mentioned it to her once before,” said Qing Su, “I told her she must learn to speak, otherwise she won’t be allowed to grow up. As expected, her body hasn’t changed in two days.”

Li Ping’an suddenly said, “Master, when establishing the Heavenly Court, I might need to marry again, appointing two empresses.”

Qing Su nodded slightly and asked softly, “Why might?”

“It’s not certain yet,” Li Ping’an said in a low voice, “Master, do you think… it should be done?”

“It’s good to establish it,” Qing Su replied without looking at Li Ping’an, gazing at the rising sun in the east, “but you still need to think of a way to make Ningning represent the Human Race. Zi Yao, or should I say the Jade Pool, is too dominant.”

Li Ping’an hummed a bit: “Then should I visit various places next, bringing Yao Ji or both Yao Ji and Ningning?”

“Best to take them both,” Qing Su considered briefly, “or take neither. Ningning might be a bit shy.”

Li Ping’an smiled and said, “Master, would you come with me?”

Qing Su turned her head to look at Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an’s eyes were still as clear as ever, with an unmistakable eagerness beneath the clarity.

Qing Su gently shook her head, a slight smile forming at the corners of her mouth.

She said, “You can ask Senior Yun Zhongzi to accompany you. He is quite renowned across the world, and having the Heavenly Emperor’s master be a mere mid-tier Golden Immortal would invite ridicule.”

Li Ping’an’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but he nodded with a smile.

“Then I’ll just take the two of them to visit everywhere. I was hoping you could meet some reclusive masters.”

Qing Su asked, “Where are you going to visit?”

“Well…”

Li Ping’an pondered a bit:

“There are a few uninvolved loose cultivator Daluos in the main world, mainly cultivating on Penglai Island, Yingzhou Island, or Kunlun Mountain.

“Besides, there are elders of the Human Race, ministers of the Three Sovereigns;

“The Three Teachings need no further mention, they all should be visited. Except for the Daluo Golden Immortals, other loose cultivator experts aren’t suitable for me to visit personally; later, Elder Yansheng and the others can represent the Heavenly Court for a tour.”

Qing Su instructed, “Even though you are the Heavenly Emperor, you are still a junior in the Desolate Era. Remember to conduct yourself with the manners of a junior.”

“Rest assured, Master, I understand.”

Li Ping’an made a proper Daoist gesture.

“How’s this?”

Qing Su smiled lightly as she corrected his posture, then said, “Go quickly, I’ll stay here to look after Yao Ji.”

Li Ping’an cupped his hands in a salute, turned, and rode a cloud into the sky.

Qing Su stood quietly outside the corridor for a while until Li Ping’an’s figure disappeared completely, only then did she let out a soft sigh. Her figure transformed into an ice-blue immortal light and vanished.

On the beach, Guilingling, who was digging in the sand, shook his head lightly and then said in an aged and wise manner:

“Maintain your airs, if you don’t endure it, who will suffer.”

“It’s best to be like us turtles, with none of these worldly desires, just wishing for a life as long as the heavens.”

“Hehe.”

…

Li Ping’an immediately went to Xuanyuan Palace to pick up Ningning Mu, and then to Kunlun Mountain to call Yao Ji, using a Roc Bird as a mount, without guards, without maids, heading straight for Dong’an City.

East King Feng Qingyang had been waiting for a long time, as he was responsible for leading the way and was also a member of this ‘New Year Visiting Group’, the future third-in-command of the Heavenly Court.

To avoid awkwardness, Feng Qingyang also brought his former life’s legitimate wife.

— He was appointed as the East King by Li Ping’an, implicitly meant to check the Queen Mother of the West, but it was easy for those unaware of the situation to misunderstand.

It was indeed difficult for this Fenghou, who was used to presenting herself with a mature middle-aged look, now having to match Feng Qingyang’s appearance and revert to a youthful and charming form.

Feng Qingyang had also planned the route in advance, prepared a detailed ‘strategy’, and readied more than ten gifts.

Li Ping’an didn’t need to do anything, just change into a black robe and stand at the forefront.

Thus, touring the Three Islands, meeting the Five Sacred Mountains, going to sea to meet the Dragon King, ascending the island to see the Daluos, at each destination they were welcomed with banquets.

The news of the impending establishment of the Heavenly Court quickly spread across the realms.

After paying respects to the Jade Void Palace and bidding farewell to the Azure Wander Palace, Feng Qingyang took out a Jade Talisman and followed its direction toward the northeastern area of the ashes in the central main world.

“Your Majesty, the entrance to the Earthly Immortals Realm is just ahead; His Majesty Shennong Shi has already gone ahead to the Earthly Immortals Realm to wait, saving you an additional trip.”

Earthly Immortals Realm!

Zhenyuan Daxian!

After drinking at over ten banquets, Li Ping’an immediately felt invigorated.

This Great Power, he was renowned, and today he would finally meet him.
