Chapter 532 - 532 187 Former Officials of the Ancient Heavenly Court_2

532: Chapter 187: Former Officials of the Ancient Heavenly Court_2 532: Chapter 187: Former Officials of the Ancient Heavenly Court_2 Mo Linyuan nodded slowly, “Isn’t it obvious?”

“Then, senior, do you know that there have been more than fifty people in the Human Race who have resonated with the Heavenly Dao…

yet all of them have met with untimely deaths?”

“It’s not more than fifty,” Mo Linyuan said, “More than fifty were discovered by my friend Xuanyuan.

In total, there have been ninety-nine.

Starting from my friend Fuxi Shi, you just happen to be the hundredth person to resonate with the Heavenly Dao.”

Li Ping’an was dumbfounded, “Besides Emperor Fuxi, they all died?”

“They all died.”

Mo Linyuan frowned and said:

“The problem is that the Heavenly Dao is not sentient.

After beings are chosen by the Heavenly Dao, it continuously erodes their minds.”

“To grasp The Great Dao through the Heavenly Dao is much easier than toiling in cultivation; among these ninety-eight who died, most had lost themselves, and after losing resonance with the Heavenly Dao, were abandoned by it.”

“It amounted to a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.”

“Take for example a Qi Cultivator from the Human Race who appeared three thousand years ago.

He started cultivating at three, became a True Immortal at a hundred, and during a moment of enlightenment, he comprehended the principles of order, uttering ‘The Heavenly Dao is impermanent and powerful’, which resonated with the Heavenly Dao.”

“Yet merely ten years later, he had reached the realm of a Heavenly Immortal of the third rank.”

“Because there was no Heavenly Court among heaven and earth, and all matters of merit ceased, a being nurtured by the Heavenly Dao such as him needed merit to break through to the Longevity Golden Immortal stage when reaching this kind of realm.”

“He fell into a cultivation deadlock, his Dao heart gradually lost, and in the end, he severed his connection with the Heavenly Dao.”

“Only a few years later, this person perished from cultivation deviation, his Primordial Spirit exploded and he died.”

Li Ping’an took a cool breath.

This was not feigned.

Mo Linyuan stared into Li Ping’an’s eyes and continued with a gentle voice:

“The lower the Dao Realm, the more likely it is to resonate with the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao itself rejects the beings who are immortal and eternal because if all beings between heaven and earth were immortal, this world would soon collapse.”

“Then, these beings that are favored by the Heavenly Dao mistakenly believe they have had many insights.

When the Heavenly Dao can no longer assist them, it’s hard for their Dao heart not to become unbalanced.”

“Even if their Dao heart doesn’t become unbalanced, their life’s destiny doesn’t have Great Fortune by its side, nor were they born resonating with the Heavenly Dao.

They’ll also face various tribulations; the greatest tribulation comes from the oppression of powerful forces from all sides.”

“However, according to my observations, these aren’t a problem for you…”

“Could it be that the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan intentionally advised you to temporarily refuse the Heavenly Dao?”

Without saying much, Li Ping’an nodded and replied, “Indeed.”

Although at that time, he had felt ‘something wasn’t quite right, and decided to ‘play it safer’;

Now, he must make Mo Linyuan believe he was a very important chess piece in the hands of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.

It was all for survival.

Mo Linyuan laughed, “That must have been tough on you…

However, there’s one thing I don’t understand.

If you do not accept the power of the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao will suppress your Dao Realm.

How will you enhance your cultivation?

It would be preposterous to say that the ruler of the Heavenly Court of the Human Race is not even an Elemental Immortal.”

“This matter is my secret.”

Li Ping’an replied seriously:

“If senior doesn’t threaten my life, I’m unable to tell you for the time being.”

Mo Linyuan’s eyes showed a hint of curiosity, “Now that you say it like this, I can hardly restrain myself.”

“Senior, did you bring me here just to chat about these matters?”

Li Ping’an calmly changed the subject, attempting to seize control of the conversation.

Mo Linyuan shook his head, took a clay pot, poured two cups of tea, and handed one cup to Li Ping’an.

The old man said cheerfully:

“Of course not.

Firstly, I wanted to get to know you a bit, and secondly, I wanted to see what kind of person you are.”

“Though I am deeply influenced by the Heavenly Dao, I still know some principles and have my own judgments.”

“If the new Heavenly Court and the new Heavenly Emperor that emerge support the strategy of the Human Race annihilating the Hundred Clans, then I can only do my own efforts to prevent the birth of this new Heavenly Emperor.”

“To be honest, since the Ancient times, I have always devoted myself to restoring peace among the Hundred Clans, and for this, I have saved countless beings…

although these beings eventually met with misfortune for one reason or another, I have indeed been doing such things consistently, never changing my heart’s ambition.”

Li Ping’an chuckled dryly.

He glanced at the tea but didn’t reach for it.

Instead, he asked, “Then senior, how do you view the matter of the Ancient Heavenly Court attempting to annihilate the Human Race?”

Mo Linyuan’s smile suddenly faded, and his eyes took on a sharp edge.

“This tea isn’t drinkable anymore.

Fellow Daoist, come with me to the Northern Continent.

We’ll continue our chat on the way.”

“Cailin was saved by me once before, and I don’t know how…

This is the third time she has been saved by me.”

…

In Dong’an City, the back hall of the Inspector’s office.

The old Tianli and Li Dazhi were pacing back and forth with anxious expressions on their faces.

They were visibly irritable at this moment, their footsteps heavy with concern.

In the back hall, Kongming, Xu Sheng, and Zhan Yuan, the three Golden Immortal ancestors, were seated to one side with solemn expressions.

Li Ping’an had disappeared.

And it was highly possible he had been captured by a master of the Demon Race!

Two people hurried into the hall outside, bowed their heads, and reported:

“Alliance of the Three!

The search within a radius of three thousand li has been completed!

No trace has been found!”

“Alliance of the Three!

The Emperor has been informed that the Inspector has been taken away by the other side’s master!

Enraged, the Emperor ordered the full mobilization of the Human Emperor’s trusted aides.

The western and northern fronts are about to launch an offensive against the Demon Race!”

The old Tianli was stunned.

The Emperor’s reaction…

was this significant?

He glanced at Li Dazhi, who was pacing back and forth somewhat out of sorts, and a question mark hung over his head.
