Chapter 1257: Chapter 448: The Most Explosive Episode_2

Li Ping’an was initially startled at what he heard.

Then he felt like mystic thunder was striking down behind him, making him shiver a few times.

What on earth is this!

The Roc is a man, no, the Roc is a male bird!

Although Kong Xuan had not divided into yin and yang, he always appeared in a male form!

And he, Li Ping’an, could swear to the Heavens on the power of his father’s kidneys that he likes mature, intelligent women with voluptuous waves, no, his orientation and aesthetics are absolutely normal, aren’t his two wives and a lover all stunning beauties!

This!

This is quite explosive in the explosive realm!

Li Ping’an looked at his Phoenix Clan Battle Body, he knew how strong this thing was. Once he got past the Primordial Phoenix, he could have an avatar as powerful as a body-trained Daluo Golden Immortal.

With this battle body and numerous treasures, he could actively go and chase down the Calamity Sovereign, instead of being ambushed by him again.

If it were the Li Ping’an from decades ago, he would most likely shake his head and refuse.

But now…

Li Ping’an seriously said, “I can use other methods to attempt to help the Phoenix Clan cultivate pureblood phoenixes, I still have a little stash here, and you should know how strong the Heavenly Dao is now.”

The Primordial Phoenix nodded, “That is acceptable, then the first thing shall be you helping the Phoenix Clan cultivate pureblood phoenixes. You humans are really bashful, if the Peacock transformed into a woman, she would naturally be unparalleled in the world, unmatched by any other races.”

Li Ping’an smiled wryly.

Alright, another compromise master.

“The junior thinks, senior, that your concepts are indeed… too bold.”

“The second thing,” the Primordial Phoenix’s smile faded, “I’ve seen all of your deeds in the Roc’s memory. You subdued the Dragon Clan, making them the mainstay of the Heavenly Court, and this matter I have some dissatisfaction with.”

Li Ping’an blinked, could it be…

“Later both the Peacock and Roc must enter your Heavenly Court, become Great Generals of your Heavenly Court, and you need to give the Phoenix Clan a top-tier divine position, surpassing the Four Seas Dragon King.”

The Primordial Phoenix’s eyes carried a hint of threat:

“If you don’t agree to this, I’ll destroy this battle body myself.”

Li Ping’an squinted and smiled, “Then how do you ensure, if the junior agrees now, he won’t regret it later?”

The Primordial Phoenix said, “Because in the Roc’s impression of you, you are an extremely good Heavenly Emperor.”

Li Ping’an seriously said, “Good and evil are merely lies to protect the weak and achieve the purpose of ruling over the weak.”

The Primordial Phoenix frowned tightly.

Li Ping’an hurriedly said, “The junior can promise, in the future, as long as Kong Xuan and the Roc render enough meritorious service to the Heavenly Court, the junior can make an exception and promote them. Beyond that, the junior truly does not dare promise too much, as the Heavenly Dao is watching.”

“Then that’s good, I hope you do as you say.”

The Primordial Phoenix sighed lightly and looked up at the vast wilderness of heaven and earth.

The Undying Volcano and the main world of the Desolate Era are inverted reciprocals.

The Primordial Phoenix whispered, “Ultimately, this trace of mine is bound to dissipate. Having lived so long in both the Chaos Sea and the Desolate Era, yet never understanding the reason for living, truly embarrassing.”

Li Ping’an’s thoughts shifted, quickly saying, “Senior, don’t rush to leave! The junior has a few things to inquire!”

“Inquire about what?”

“The Transcender!” Li Ping’an quickly said, “There exists a Transcender in this world!”

The Primordial Phoenix nodded slightly, “I know that guy, he’s hiding in Mount Lingjiu, not sure what he’s plotting, he did come out in ancient times but I have never interacted with him.”

“Is his purpose truly to wait for the world’s end to extract the source of heaven and earth here?”

“It should be,” the Primordial Phoenix said, “The Three Pure Ones are transformed from Pangu God’s Primordial Spirit, as long as the Three Pure Ones are present, he won’t dare lay a hand on heaven and earth, so he waits for the world’s end.”

“Can the Three Pure Ones reunite to become Pangu?”

“In this world, it probably won’t work, they can only become Pangu’s lingering soul.”

“Will the Heavenly Dao abandon sentient beings upon completion?”

“The Heavenly Dao can be seen as Pangu’s offspring.”

The Primordial Phoenix said:

“Pangu God established heaven and earth, and heaven and earth naturally formed a great array. If living beings are seen as a part of heaven and earth, their thoughts and resonance with heaven and earth gave birth to the Heavenly Dao.

“The Heavenly Dao is the will of this world itself, its body is the Heaven and Earth Array. The completion of the Heavenly Dao signifies it has gathered the power of all living beings.

“Whether it abandons sentient beings depends on its choice at that time.

“When the world ends, if the Heavenly Dao can survive, doesn’t it mean the world still exists in some form?”

Li Ping’an understood within himself.

So that means, by continuously influencing the Heavenly Dao along with his father, the Heavenly Dao may not necessarily betray sentient beings in the end?

“Any more questions?”

“What do you think of Ancestral Master Hongjun?”

“Hongjun… are you sure you want to ask?”

The Primordial Phoenix looked upward, “He is watching you, Taiqing as well, if I continue speaking, he might directly take action.”

Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched a few times.

The Primordial Phoenix seemed amused, its figure gradually turning ethereal.

Swoosh!

The Primordial Phoenix’s form flickered lightly, transforming into a flame, extinguished by a wisp of chaotic aura. A faint voice flowed from the bottom of Li Ping’an’s heart.

“At the beginning of Heaven and Earth, he and that timid Transcender emerged around the same time.”

Li Ping’an was slightly startled.

The flow of time suddenly returned to normal. The celestial beings seemed to feel something and simultaneously looked towards Li Ping’an, where there was only a faint wisp of chaotic aura, and Li Ping’an’s Phoenix Clan Battle Body.

Li Ping’an cleared his throat and spoke aloud: “Kong Xuan, Roc, your esteemed mother commands!”

Kong Xuan and the Roc Bird lowered their heads in a formal bow simultaneously.

“From today, the two of you will serve the Heavenly Court. You must surpass the Dragon Clan and not bring shame to her name.”

Kong Xuan and Roc exchanged glances but had no doubt.

Kong Xuan sighed softly, and Roc declared acknowledgment.

This seemed like something their mother would say.

Of course, more importantly, their mother indeed left a mark, leaving some words in their hearts in an instant.

Guilingling asked nearby: “What about this Undying Volcano? Just leave it exposed like this?”

Li Ping’an thought for a moment, while the Faceless One in among the Heavenly Dao reported swiftly at his Spirit Platform.

Li Ping’an said: “The Heavenly Dao will set up a large formation to conceal this place, no need to worry. Let’s return to Heaven and Earth to avoid Kunpeng summoning more Innate Gods and Demons for revenge.”

Chi Jingzi stroked his beard pensively, worried: “Kunpeng obtained the Primordial Phoenix Dao Body, fearing it will become a major calamity for the Desolate Era in the future.”

“Luckily we’re here,” Duobao smiled with his hands behind his back, “if Kunpeng won outright, that would be true trouble. Now Kunpeng also paid a considerable price, only gaining less than sixty percent of the Primordial Phoenix’s power.”

Li Ping’an took out the Cangyue Bead, withdrawing his battle body.

This battle body greatly enhanced his strength; the only flaw was that to utilize the battle body, he needed his Primordial Spirit to detach from his physical body.

Later on, he still needed to devise some strategies or divide his Primordial Spirit…

Li Ping’an remembered something and said: “Everyone, please wait.”

His Primordial Spirit entered the Phoenix Clan Battle Body, executing the Golden Crow Sun-Piercing Art, transforming directly into a Three-legged Golden Crow, flying chaotically across the place, collecting the still lingering innate five-elemental energy.

The celestial beings were perplexed.

Kong Xuan said softly: “Does the Heavenly Emperor need the innate five-elemental energy for cultivation?”

“Indeed,” Roc Bird said softly, holding its original body, “it’s very important to the Emperor.”

“Can’t the Emperor just ask me directly?”

Kong Xuan sighed:

“Since mother has commanded, I’ll lead the Phoenix Clan back to Heaven and Earth to serve the Heavenly Court.

“The Emperor wants the innate five-elemental energy; I’ll gather some for him.”

Roc Bird said: “The Emperor values self-reliance.”

“Perhaps.”

Nearby, Taoist Duobao squinted and smiled.

Using the Phoenix Clan Battle Body to execute the Golden Crow Secret Method to transform into a Three-legged Golden Crow, is this not a kind of… cough.

“Later, I need to remind Senior Brother to be cautious of Kunpeng.”

Guilingling held Qing Su’s arm lightly swaying, murmuring softly: “Qing Qing, please tell the Emperor to lend me the battle body for a few days!”

Qing Su’s expression was somewhat peculiar, naturally not easily promising such a matter.

…

In the Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun stretched lazily and smiled at Taiqing seated across.

“Our Heavenly Emperor now has some ability to protect himself, but I can’t quite understand why he doesn’t abandon the human body and directly take the Phoenix Clan Battle Body?”

Taiqing thought hard and replied laboriously: “Upper limit.”

“Indeed, although this Phoenix Clan Battle Body was gifted by the Primordial Phoenix’s Nirvana, perfectly matching his Primordial Spirit, taking the key steps forward in the future will be difficult—after all, it’s not self-cultivated.”

Hongjun laughed:

“Come, let’s play a game of chess.”

“Later…”

“Let Old Master return, no need to search further. Now we even struggle to chat,” Hongjun said calmly, “you won’t find Fuxi.”

Taiqing did not speak, only closing his eyes to meditate and comprehend the Dao.

Hongjun shook his head, simply picking up black and white pieces in both hands, engaging himself in solo combat, the corners of his mouth maintaining a faint smile.

That was a smile of confidence and having everything under control.
