Chapter 1236: 440. The Heavenly Emperor’s Little Scheme_2

In short, the value of the Phoenix Clan is not enough for the masters of the two sects to make a move.

Using the masters of the two sects is both a debt of friendship and merit for the Heavenly Court, and this account must be settled clearly.

Taoist Duobao shook his head and chuckled, thinking he understood Li Ping’an’s idea.

But at this moment, what Li Ping’an was actually thinking was…

‘According to the Roc Bird, the mysterious land of the Phoenix Clan is not too far from Zixiao Palace and Xuan Capital City. If it doesn’t work, let’s ride the Roc Bird to lead these Innate Gods and Demons to crash into Zixiao Palace. The big shots can’t just watch and not take action.’

The immortals said no more, tightly following Li Ping’an.

Qing Su transmitted a few instructions to several female immortal soldiers, telling them to take good care of little Yao Ji, and before the Qiankun Cave closed, it transformed into Ice Blue Immortal Light and flew inside.

In the realm of Golden Immortals, one can actually only roam in the Chaos Sea, where it is very easy to lose direction.

Only in the Taiyi realm can one express some of one’s Great Dao in the Chaos Sea, which can be considered having some combat power.

Li Ping’an just thought about whether to summon dozens of battle dragons to create a scene;

But this thing, how to say it…

Letting the Dragon Clan save the Phoenix Clan, the Dragon Clan is very likely to directly stab the Phoenix Clan in the back, and the kind that strikes directly at the Phoenix Clan’s main artery!

‘It’s more reliable to lead the Innate Gods and Demons to Zixiao Palace.’

Meanwhile.

Heavenly Court, Queen Mother’s Bedchamber.

Has His Majesty gone to the Chaos Sea?

Jade Pool put down the Precious Mirror in her hand, with a touch of contemplation in her eyes.

She was naturally worried about Li Ping’an’s safety, as such a few masters were indeed too few, and the Chaos Sea was extremely dangerous, also being outside the range where the Heavenly Dao’s power could gather heavenly punishment and condemnation…

“Truly worrisome.”

Jade Pool sighed softly, leaning diagonally in the soft bedding, experiencing the various inexplicable emotions emerging within herself, some anxiety, with a touch of complaint as well.

Now she had to sit in the Heavenly Court, and the Qingluan Bird couldn’t catch up with Taoist Duobao’s Qiankun Cave, so she could only wait here for news.

…

Li Ping’an worried that the Xuan Du Da Fa Shi would stop him from going out, so he took the immortals and secretly left the boundary of heaven and earth directly from the position closest to the mysterious land of the Phoenix Clan.

The Chaotic Aura rushed towards them.

Chi Jingzi held the Yin Yang Mirror in his hand, and the black and white Immortal Light opened a light shield, protecting the immortals.

Taoist Compassionate Ferry held the Jade Purity Vase in his palm, sprinkling bits of Immortal Light, with waves of pure spiritual power surrounding the immortals.

Taoist Duobao had a Pu Fan in his hand, lightly fanning forward, immediately propelling the immortals swiftly into the Chaos Sea, at speeds far exceeding ordinary Great One Golden Immortals’ escape speed.

Evidently, after the last great battle in Xuan Capital City, Taoist Duobao went back and pondered over some treasures.

Li Ping’an led the way with the Precious Mirror, searching for the location where the Roc Bird crushed the bead, soon leaving the edge of heaven and earth, gradually moving out of the influence of the Heavenly Dao.

Qing Su came to Li Ping’an’s side, handing over the palm-sized Innate Spiritual Treasure Sword Box.

“Master, you use it,” Li Ping’an smiled and said, “I’ll avoid magical combat if I can.”

Qing Su said, “Don’t be reckless.”

“Alright,” Li Ping’an looked forward, the Precious Mirror in his hand lightly quivering, “The Chaos Sea is perilous. Master, you had better stay close to me and not easily confront the Innate Gods and Demons.”

Qing Su slightly tilted her head.

The way he said it, it was as if her apprentice, who was the Heavenly Emperor, could now protect her.

After all, she did have the Path of Pure Heart, Yun Bing’s Great Dao, and had gained the title of Ice Immortal from battling on the Human Race battlefield of the Hundred Clans.

However, in front of so many experts, Qing Su wouldn’t debunk her own apprentice’s boast, wielding the Sword of Nüwa and watching Li Ping’an’s back.

Guilingling rolled her eyes beside them.

They both still relied on her protection!

In front, the Chaotic Aura began constantly trembling.

Li Ping’an gestured, and Taoist Duobao formed a hand seal, causing the immortals’ bodies to instantly shrink by hundreds of times, yet their speed was undiminished, weaving through several mountain-like condensed Chaotic Auras, and found clusters of Five-Colored Glorious Lights.

Innate Five Elements Qi!

Li Ping’an immediately threw out the Great Gourd prepared earlier, storing all these glorious lights inside.

He did not forget to say: “The mysterious land is not far away.”

The immortals each held their breath and focused.

Zhao Gongming raised the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Beads, embedding these beads on his wooden whip.

Qiongxiao Celestial Maiden brought out the Golden Jiao Scissors, Immortal Huanglong prepared his Golden Dragon form, Chi Jingzi had a Longsword in his hand, Taoist Compassionate Ferry had a Lotus Dais beneath his feet.

Li Ping’an secretly observed Taoist Compassionate Ferry.

Is this white-clad female immortal truly the future Guanyin Bodhisattva of Buddhism?

Now that the destiny of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth has changed, no one can clearly explain what is happening with Buddhism.

As they continued forward, the five-colored divine light flickered intermittently. Li Ping’an was delighted collecting the innate five-elemental qi.

Taoist Duobao suddenly made a gesture.

The Pu Fan gently swept aside the chaotic aura blocking their sight, revealing the scene Li Ping’an saw through his mirror.

Dozens of colossal, oddly-shaped creatures were continuously crashing into that mass of five-colored divine light.

Kong Xuan and the Roc Bird were currently meditating within the five-colored divine light.

The Roc Bird was covered in wounds, and Kong Xuan’s robe was also stained with blood. Those attached to the Phoenix Clan were converting their mana into spiritual power, continuously pouring it into Kong Xuan’s body.

“Something’s not right.”

Zhao Gongming’s deep voice sounded:

“Everyone look, aren’t these innate gods and demons a bit too small?”

Taoist Duobao muttered: “Their size may be small, but their strength is not weak, they are of mid-level among the innate gods and demons.”

Chi Jingzi said: “They advance and retreat in an orderly way, it really seems as though someone is commanding them… Look! Over there!”

The immortals followed the direction of Chi Jingzi’s finger and saw a sesame-sized black shadow.

Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched slightly: “To think I’d see an old acquaintance here.”

“Calamity Venerable?”

Immortal Huanglong exclaimed: “Is this guy really siding with the innate gods and demons? Has he no dignity left?”

“He seems to be coordinating the innate gods and demons,” Taoist Duobao frowned, “look closely, he is standing under the protection of these innate gods and demons, and his mouth keeps moving, he should be trying to persuade the Phoenix Clan to surrender.”

Li Ping’an asked: “How long can the Phoenix Clan hold on?”

“That’s hard to judge,” Zhao Gongming said, “Kong Xuan’s five-colored divine light can continuously absorb spiritual power from the Chaos Sea, but these innate gods and demons haven’t gone all out yet.”

Taoist Duobao said: “I have a plan, we split into two groups, one stays here as support, and the other rushes forward, catching them off guard, we’ll bring Kong Xuan and the Roc Bird back, I’ve got treasures to collect those attached to the Phoenix Clan within the Chaos Sea.”

“Not feasible,” Chi Jingzi said, “the number of innate gods and demons is too high, and the Calamity Venerable’s combat power can’t be ignored. Don’t forget, the Calamity Venerable also has other fierce demons.”

The immortals pondered for a few moments.

Indeed, if they were to go directly, it’s highly likely they would fall into a trap.

Their opponents encircling the Phoenix Clan but not attacking suggests intentions like ‘encircle and attack the reinforcements’ or ‘fishing.’

“Everyone,” Li Ping’an said, “I have a plan!”

The immortals looked up, their eyes shining bright.

“Please tell us, Your Majesty!”

Li Ping’an quickly said: “Later, Uncle Guiling and Uncle Huanglong will guard me while I break through the formation. I need the Roc Bird’s speed, just need to connect with the Roc Bird.”

Duobao asked: “And then?”

“Then,” Li Ping’an smiled slightly, “I compared it with the Precious Mirror of Heavenly Dao, and it’s not far from here to Zixiao Palace. With the Roc Bird’s speed, leading some of the innate gods and demons to clash into Zixiao Palace is not a problem. Now I’m just worried that these innate gods and demons aren’t interested in me as the Heavenly Emperor.”

In the place shrouded by the Yin-Yang Immortal Light, a pin drop could be heard.

Li Ping’an took a deep breath: “Master, you don’t move recklessly here, I request Qiongxiao Celestial Maiden to look after my master… Uncles, let’s go!”

Guilingling nodded obediently, pulling out the Immortal Sword and raising the Great Turtle Shield;

Although Immortal Huanglong vaguely felt something was amiss, Li Ping’an spoke with such certainty and confidence that he immediately prepared to transform into his true dragon form.

Just as Li Ping’an was about to set off, Taoist Duobao suddenly leapt over and grabbed Li Ping’an, shouting with wide eyes:

“Wait a minute! What did you just say! Lead these innate gods and demons to crash where!”

“Zixiao Palace… Why is Uncle so excited?”

“That’s the Zixiao Palace!”

Taoist Duobao shouted with wide eyes.

“Yes,” Li Ping’an smiled calmly, “you must have faith in Ancestral Master Hongjun, he is the number one expert of the Desolate Era, dealing with merely a few dozen innate gods and demons should be no problem.”

“No, that’s not it, it’s because!”

Taoist Duobao suddenly choked on his words.

Li Ping’an gathered his spirits, his eyes seemed to contain two suns, emitting a forceful wave that even the top masters acknowledged as formidable.

Shortly after, a dragon roar echoed through parts of the Chaos Sea.

The Golden Dragon surged forward, the Turtle Shield blossomed, the Heavenly Emperor stood atop the dragon’s head, letting out a thunderous shout, his voice vibrating along the formless Great Dao:

“Calamity!”
