He listened at the door for quite a while, but couldn’t make out what had angered Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor.

It felt as if to say,

‘I’m very annoyed right now, don’t come near me if there’s nothing important.’

Li Ping’an thought it over and decided to drop his plan to visit Minister Feng’s residence to meet up with Ningning, and waited outside the door a while longer.

A maid came forward and led him into the Immortal Palace.

Every one of the Yellow Emperor’s Immortal Palaces had a study, and with three thousand Immortal Palaces, there were three thousand studies, which made perfect sense.

“Your servant, second-grade Inspector from the East Alliance Li Ping’an, greets Your Majesty!”

Li Ping’an called out loudly, bowing his head in a Daoist salute.

“Hmph!”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, snorted lightly and said coldly,

“Inspector Li, aren’t you supposed to be basking in the Holy Mother’s divine light?

What brings you to visit me?”

Li Ping’an did not reply and continued shouting, “Your Majesty!

Your servant has successfully completed the task you assigned and found the Holy Mother!”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, glared at Li Ping’an, calmly gestured with his hand, and said indifferently, “Everyone may leave.”

The maids and guards bowed and retreated.

The Dao Charm of Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, filled the entire study.

“Li Ping’an, play along a bit!”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, slapped the table and scolded with a laugh,

“If you had just gone along with what I said, and responded, ‘This servant comes on the Holy Mother Nuwa’s orders to pay respects to you ,’ then wouldn’t you have affirmed your position as the Holy Mother’s trusted and beloved general?”

Li Ping’an replied with an embarrassed smile, “Your Majesty, I was acting on your orders to find the Holy Mother, and she never asked me to pledge loyalty to her.”

“The Holy Mother has always been of a gentle nature.”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, casually summoned a round chair and gestured for Li Ping’an to sit down.

“Ping’an, how did you manage to find the Holy Mother?”

“About that, it’s related to an experience my master Qing Su once had.”

Li Ping’an briefly described the full process of Qing Su obtaining the essence of Yellow Earth.

“The essence of Yellow Earth that my master obtained has already fused with his being.

When we approached the wordless stele left by the Holy Mother, it disturbed her as she was resting in the Chaos Sea.

Mistaking my master for someone of the Primordial Human Race, she called the two of us over.”

“No wonder…”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, nodded slightly, leaned back in his chair, and let out a light sigh, explaining,

“Strictly speaking, it’s the Primordial Human Race that are the Holy Mother’s children, a pity most of them perished in battle.

Only one of the Primordial Human Race is still alive, that is, the sole disciple of the Human Teachings, the youth who was taken away by the Taiqing Sect Leader back then.

During ancient times, he secretly made a move, toppling the Heavenly Court.

He also fought against several ministers of the Ancient Heavenly Court.

No one knows his actual strength, as every time, he fought using the Innate treasure, the Tai Chi Diagram.”

Li Ping’an asked, “Your Majesty, what is this person’s Taoist name?”

“I really don’t know his name or Taoist title,”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, laughed,

“All I know is that everyone calls him the Xuan Du Da Fa Shi.

Xuan Capital City is located beyond the heavens, at the choke point between the Desolate Era world and the Chaos Sea.

That place often faces incidents caused by creatures made by the innate gods and demons, which the Xuan Du Da Fa Shi suppresses single-handedly.”

Li Ping’an inwardly exclaimed at the man’s mightiness.

“Enough about that,”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, waved his hand, then he sighed, his expression showing a trace of weariness.

He asked, “Did you manipulate the Holy Mother into suddenly wanting to establish the Heavenly Court?”

“Advising is not the same as manipulating,”

Li Ping’an leaned back in the chair, his eyes a bit vacant,

“The Holy Mother has three main concerns: the incessant battles between the Human Race and the Hundred Clans, the Southern Continent’s divine court being manipulated by the Heavenly Dao, and how immortals and mortals should interact.

The answers to all three questions lie in establishing a Human Race Heavenly Court.

To persuade the Holy Mother to return, I really poured out all my mental energy and racked my brains.

Now my Dao heart…

here…”

Li Ping’an pointed to the area over his heart, dramatically exclaiming,

“Still aches!

That’s from all the heart I put into it, Your Majesty!”

“All right!”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, glared at him and scolded,

“Stop your babbling to me!

Do you think I don’t know your scheming?

You won’t be short of any reward, I thought for sure you’d receive those three hundred spankings, didn’t expect you actually managed to escape them.”

Following that, Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, squinted his eyes and relaxedly stretched his neck.

“With the Holy Mother back, I can finally stop worrying.

The Hundred Clans have already begun preparing to retreat.

They were betting that we wouldn’t dare to fight them to the end, thinking that with the Holy Mother absent, they could use their strength, accumulated over tens of thousands of years, to attack the southeast of the Western Continent and take complete control of Western Continent lands.

They had a beautiful dream.

The southern part of the Western Continent is its only fertile land, bordering the Southern Continent and overlooking it from above, serving as a vital point to suppress the power of the Hundred Clans.

How could I give up this strategic region?”

Li Ping’an wasn’t too interested in these matters and asked softly, “Your Majesty, did you deliberately make it seem like you don’t get along with the Holy Mother to throw off the demon experts?”

“It’s not just about deceiving the enemy’s experts,”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, said solemnly,

“Six thousand years ago, the Human Race was eager for battle, believing it was time to end the war with the Hundred Clans that had been ongoing since ancient times.

The Human Race was ready.

As you know about the East Alliance, without a stable source of taxation, relying solely on the treasures from the Ancient Heavenly Court to maintain the troops, we would eventually run out of resources.

So, while the East Alliance was at its peak, with a large reserve force in the East Continent, the idea of mobilizing against the Demon Race to finish the war in one fell swoop became noisily popular within the Human Race.”

Li Ping’an suddenly understood, “And then you intentionally had an argument with the Holy Mother?”

“I didn’t mean to upset the Holy Mother.”

Xuanyuan, the Yellow Emperor, sighed,

“Most of our best fighters in the Human Race, seeing its peak and believing we were unmatched, gradually forgot that the rules of this world are actually set by a few of the strongest beings.”
