478: Chapter 170: He has a friend…

Undergoing Spiritual Metamorphosis for the second time leads to divine censure, creating ripples in the Barracks Secret Realm.

Scarcely moments after the celestial punishment struck, news that an “Inspector attempted to ascend to immortality but was blocked by the Heavenly Dao” had already spread within the secret realm.

The message was, in a way, accidentally accurate.

Li Ping’an was indeed hindered by the Heavenly Dao, but this obstacle had nothing to do with the heavenly punishments.

“What?

Master Ping’an was struck by the lightning of celestial punishment?”

“The Inspector suffered a setback in his breakthrough, summoning the lightning of divine censure!”

“Tsk, this is the envy of the heavens!

The Inspector can enlighten a Golden Immortal, yet cannot ascend himself.

It’s the Heavenly Dao’s prohibition, too monstrous!”

“It’s better to be ordinary after all.

Aren’t our days content and enriched?

As long as we break through in cultivation and accumulate military exploits, we can ascend the ranks.”

“You can’t say that.

If it weren’t for the extraordinary talents of our superiors bearing these pressures, we couldn’t enjoy such comfort…

Alas, I wonder if Master Ping’an is still safe and sound.”

“In any case, he’s the only one I’ve seen from the ancient times to the present day daring enough to lead a million celestial soldiers to pressure the Holy Mother Palace.”

“Look!

The significant figures are all coming!”

The celestial soldiers looked up and saw streams of rainbow light falling from the sky of the Barracks Secret Realm.

The new Alliance Hierarch of the East has not yet assumed office.

The ones currently in charge of the alliance are the invisible Lady Ba, as well as Tianli, Tian Jin, and Tian Qiong, the top three Vice Alliance Hierarchs.

At this moment, Old Man Tianli took the lead with Tian Jin and Tian Qiong right behind.

Several other Vice Alliance Hierarchs appeared, hastily heading downward.

Lots of celestial officials from various halls arrived as well, with envoys from within the secret realm joining in on the excitement.

As Old Man Tianli descended in front of Li Ping’an’s tent, he sensed the rich Dao Charm left by the celestial punishment.

His heart trembled, and he hurriedly lifted the tent flap and rushed inside, bellowing:

“Ping’an, what happened to you!”

“Father!” Wen Rou hurriedly said, “Lower your voice!”

Old Man Tianli frowned and looked ahead.

Qing Su knelt on the carpet, her simple white dress spread out, her forehead continuously emitting Ice Blue Immortal Light.

Li Ping’an, pale as death, lay in his master’s arms.

His eyes were tightly shut, his breathing was rapid, and there was a clear tear in his chest clothes, revealing pink-tinged skin beneath.

The immortal light emitted by Qing Su was pure Primordial Spirit energy, which she was desperately channeling to soothe the wounded Primordial Spirit of Li Ping’an.

Xing He, Xinghan, Tingzhu, and Feng Zhansiang huddled around Li Ping’an, blocking anyone attempting to approach.

Old Man Tianli furrowed his brows and said, “It really was divine punishment!”

A crowd of old men and women surged into the tent, only to be halted by a gesture from Old Man Tianli.

Wen Rou created an immortal power barrier around the master and disciple to prevent the surrounding people from disturbing them.

“Father, elders, there’s no need to worry,” Wen Rou spoke softly, “I’ve just checked Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit.

It was merely struck by the force of the Heavenly Dao, leading to unconsciousness.

His Dao Foundation is undamaged, his Dao Realm has not fallen, and a strand of the Heavenly Dao’s power seems to have lingered in Ping’an’s body, continuously wandering about.”

Old Man Tianli pondered with a few hums.

The first Vice Alliance Hierarch said, “Should we propagate this externally?

Our young people of the Human Race drawing the attention of divine censure is a cause for celebration!”

The three young men from Wanyun Sect standing in a corner looked at each other, at a loss.

Is this really a cause for celebration?

The second Vice Alliance Hierarch also spoke, “Ping’an is already famous enough, but indeed, this incident should be made known to more young people of the Human Race.

As long as they work hard enough, they still have a chance to be targeted by the Heavenly Dao.”

“This damned Heavenly Dao!”

“In ancient times, the Heavenly Dao helped the Ancient Heavenly Court to wreak havoc.

Whenever the Heavenly Emperor wished for a race to prosper, he would have the Heavenly Dao bestow blessings.

If he desired a race to decline, he would let the Heavenly Dao bring down divine punishment, causing countless innocent creatures to suffer.”

“Ping’an can now bring back the winds of ancient times!”

Tianli said, “I will go check on Ping’an’s condition.”

With that, Old Man Tianli stepped forward into the barrier Wen Rou had entered, but before he could get close to Li Ping’an, an additional figure emerged before him.

It was Feng Zhansiang, clad in silver-grey scale armor, holding a saber to block Old Man Tianli’s path.

“Third Alliance, Minister Feng has decreed that no one shall approach our master when he is struck by divine censure!”

Old Man Tianli paused, his eyes wide as he demanded, “Not even me?”

“Not even you,” Feng Zhansiang nodded slightly, “Half a year ago when I came here, Minister Feng gave me three silken pouches.

Just now, the first one opened by itself, and it’s written precisely this.

Please inspect it, Third Alliance.”

After speaking, Feng Zhansiang handed a jute coin purse to Tianli, who examined it closely, his eyes filled with surprise.

Tianli exclaimed, “If Minister Feng had already foreseen this calamity for Ping’an, why didn’t he speak of it beforehand!”

Feng Zhansiang replied, “Such is the rule in divination.”

“Alright then,” Old Man Tianli looked down at Li Ping’an and turned, waving his hand dismissively, “If Minister Feng has predicted this, then Ping’an should be fine.

Let’s go outside and discuss!”

A group of old men and women left the tent.

Qing Su lifted her head to glance at them, then went back to bowing her head and closing her eyes, using the Ice Blue Immortal Light emitted from her forehead to nourish the area around Li Ping’an’s spiritual platform, where his Primordial Spirit resembled a little charcoal figure.

Four Spiritual Treasures circled around Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit.

The Cangyue Bead finally revealed its worth as streams of almost liquefied Spiritual Energy sprinkled down upon Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit.

This scene continued for an hour.

Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit suddenly inhaled deeply, his legs kicked a few times, and he sat up straight.

“I go…”

Li Ping’an’s body also opened his eyes, intending to vent some words to release the fear in his heart, but the sight of that beautiful and tender face halted the coarse words at the tip of his tongue, forcing him to swallow them back.
