215: Chapter 84: The Enlightenment Stone Becomes Famous in the East Continent!_2 215: Chapter 84: The Enlightenment Stone Becomes Famous in the East Continent!_2 Mo Yunshen frowned and explained, “The concept of heavenly retribution originated in ancient times, but has seldom been mentioned in the last twenty or thirty thousand years.

It refers to beings who have committed acts that disrupt the laws of the universe, upon which the Heavenly Dao metes out punishment.”

Many immortals around them began to speak one after another:

“Is there really a Heavenly Dao?”

“Wasn’t the Heavenly Dao just a barrier for the Ancient Heavenly Court?

Has it also disappeared since the fall of the Heavenly Court?”

“The Heavenly Dao still exists.”

Li Dazhi thought of the conversation he had with his son and, after carefully choosing his words, said with a smile:

“The Heavenly Dao hasn’t disappeared, it’s just hidden and not manifesting.

The Heavenly Dao protected the laws of the universe through the Ancient Heavenly Court.

The Ancient Heavenly Court was like a sword in the hands of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao still exists today.”

“Such a heavenly retribution is indeed very rare.”

An old Heavenly Immortal stroked his beard and said, “To be precise, this should be the first time heavenly retribution has directly appeared before us.

I have only read about it in ancient texts before.

Corresponding to heavenly retribution is heavenly punishment, which was once controlled by the Hundred Clans’ Heavenly Court.”

“To refine life from death, the Heavenly Dao does not allow it.”

“What does the practice of us Qi Cultivators have to do with the Heavenly Dao?”

“If the Heavenly Dao still exists, does that mean there’s a possibility for the return of the Hundred Clans’ Heavenly Court?”

At that moment, opinions were diverse, and no sect views prevailed.

A group of immortals gathered to discuss this and that, debating over what constitutes the Heavenly Dao.

Li Dazhi couldn’t help but worry.

Could his son, Ping’an, be in danger?

The emergence of heavenly retribution was indeed worrisome.

Fortunately, not long after three streaks of black thunder from the heavenly retribution struck, Li Ping’an pulled open the tower gate.

He was quickly pulled into Qing Su’s embrace and rushed towards the distance, which finally pacified Li Dazhi’s anxious heart.

Then, there was Xuntian Xu, the renegade disciple of the Yuan Sect, kneeling and weeping bitterly before Xu Sheng.

At this time, Xu Sheng had not yet ascended to Golden Immortal;

The immortals looked at Li Ping’an with emotion, feeling that this Merge True realm disciple had exceptional abilities.

Not only did he successfully escape danger, but he also transformed Xuntian Xu’s rebellious spirit, prompting the prodigal son to return.

Xuntian Xu and his father Xu Sheng remained motionless for a long time at the entrance of the Yuan Sect tower;

The immortals of the Yuan Sect were already stirring, inviting the immortals to rest in the main hall.

Mo Yunshen could no longer stay put and called upon the twelve Heavenly Immortal elders, taking their leave with the Forge-Heaven Gate immortals.

Their departure was quite interesting.

When they arrived, they activated a grand teleportation array, their imposing presence overwhelming the crowd;

But upon leaving, Mo Yunshen decided to be more practical, dismantling the stone gateway of the great array, and the group traveled southward on a Cloud Boat.

The immortals of Wanyun Sect wanted to interject with some sarcastic remarks, but they had been forewarned by their elders.

The Forge-Heaven Gate was too powerful, and it was not advisable for Wanyun Sect to confront them head-on at this stage.

Li Ping’an followed his master back to the main hall, and the immortals of the Yuan Sect came forward to thank him with clasped hands.

The Daoist of Deep Abyss sighed deeply, then with a large swing of his hand, declared the feast to continue, and the Immortal Palaces descended back to the main peak.

…

An hour later.

Li Ping’an, Ningning Mu, Gu Qingcheng, and Zhu Ling’er returned to their banquet in the corner of the side hall.

When the Yuan Sect switched the immortal feast, their table was the first to be served.

The Heavenly Immortals and True Immortals of the Yuan Sect kept coming to Li Ping’an to offer toasts, their eyes warm with gentle smiles and words of thanks unceasing.

Li Ping’an and his companions started another round of receiving treasures.

Gu Qingcheng and Zhu Ling’er each received two Immortal Treasures;

Perhaps because Li Ping’an was openly holding hands with Ningning Mu, this time Ningning harvested the most.

She collected over a dozen Immortal Treasure level pieces of jewelry, and even obtained a hairpin that was nurturing a spirit.

Ningning Mu’s wealth was now a few notches thicker than that of an average Heavenly Immortal of Caiyun Peak.

Li Ping’an felt his sleeve…

Elder Linghua had left without notice.

This made Li Ping’an slightly regretful.

Although his teacher Yun Zhongzi had passed down the Myriad Manifestation Chart, making him worry less about Artifact Refining, he was still far from sufficient in other techniques, such as the Shape-Shifting Technique.

Li Ping’an was planning how to acquire more skills when a small hand reached out from under the table and hooked his finger.

“Senior brother~”

Ningning Mu leaned on the table, calling out to him in a transmitted voice.

Li Ping’an turned his head and they communicated in whispers: “What’s wrong?”

“I was scared to death when you were taken away, although a senior transmitted his voice to me, I was still afraid you would be hurt by that person.”

Ningning Mu pursed her lips and said:

“You should avoid risks like that in the future.”

“Those were Heavenly Immortals, True Immortals.

If they squeezed us at will, we, who are not yet fully immortals, would die and our path would be extinguished.”

“Ah, yes.”

Li Ping’an chuckled as he transmitted back:

“At that time, our Wanyun Sect’s Golden Immortal was hiding in my sleeve.

I intervened this time because I was requested by our own sect’s founding master; I didn’t want to involve myself in the matter.”

Ningning looked puzzled.

Li Ping’an simply caught her right hand, and they played around under the table.

Ningning Mu’s cheeks flushed slightly, and she dared not look at the immortals nearby.

Li Ping’an whispered to her:

“This matter can’t be judged as right or wrong.

Xuntian Xu was the renegade of the Yuan Sect and his actions harmed the Yuan Sect.”

“However, his father is Xu Sheng, the originator of the Yuan Sect.

That’s why the immortals of the Yuan Sect won’t blame Xuntian Xu because the lineage was passed down from Xu Sheng.”

“Regardless of how outsiders act, it’s always wrong.”

“To protect Xuntian Xu would mean harming the interests of the Yuan Sect’s immortals, and to punish him would cause the collapse of the Dao heart of Elder Xu Sheng.”

“Xuntian Xu himself fell into deep obsession due to the death of his wife and daughter; the saying goes ‘For a person deserving pity, there’s also an aspect that warrants disdain,’ and so it should be.”

Ningning Mu asked, still puzzled, “Then how did you resolve it, Senior Brother?”
