Chapter 583 - 583 205 The First Appearance of the Venerable Hongjun

583: Chapter 205: The First Appearance of the Venerable Hongjun 583: Chapter 205: The First Appearance of the Venerable Hongjun ‘Why was father so tired before?’

On the way back to the Cloud Boat, Li Ping’an stood on the clouds with his hands behind his back, unable to stop pondering deeply.

Li Dazhi’s tribulation was unpredictable, and although Li Ping’an had been plotting and investigating, he always felt a sense of helplessness.

Previously, with his father hiding in the sect, protected by three Golden Immortals and the Mountain Protection Array, Li Ping’an could be somewhat relieved.

Now that Dazhi was taken out of the sect by Minister Feng, the situation was relatively dangerous.

Moreover, Ping’an had just heard about the ‘Seven Arrows with Nail Head’ technique from the Golden Crow’s ten sons, making Dazhi’s languishing spirit cause him quite some anxiety.

‘Let’s go back to Dong’an City.’

Li Ping’an planned to expand his residence, providing a living space for his father and Aunt Yue on one side, and for himself and Ningning on the other, using the small deity statues given by the Queen Mother and the sword scabbard from the Yellow Emperor as the household’s protective charms.

Only then could he find a bit of safety in this world.

This breakthrough from outside the heavens showed Li Ping’an the opportunity for attaining eternal life through the Dao.

All he needed was the help of an expert capable of driving away the power of the Heavenly Dao, and he could break through normally in the Chaos Sea;

Furthermore, his method of Spirit Metamorphosis indeed allowed his Primordial Spirit to be more ‘dominant,’ which was greatly beneficial to himself.

With these two approaches, he was confident he could carve out a path as a powerful being!

What he lacked now was actually time.

‘In the end, it still comes down to father’s tribulation.

If father’s tribulation is resolved, the two of us could cultivate in peace for a while.’

Li Ping’an contemplated with a touch of concern.

‘Find a way to ask the Human Emperor for help, to strike a blow against the Wanmo Heaven?

As long as Wanmo Heaven could be seriously damaged, that should do it.’

‘But how should I plan this?’

As he thought so, the Azure Dragon Cloud Boat gradually enlarged.

Suddenly, a beam of golden light flew out from the bow; it was Senior Xu Sheng rushing out of the main cabin, shouting:

“Ping’an, come and see!

Something is wrong with your father!”

Li Ping’an’s spirit shook, and he activated the cloud to rapidly descend towards the Cloud Boat.

Before the clouds settled, he had already dashed forward, rushing into the cabin like a gust of wind.

Even before entering the cabin where his father was, Li Ping’an sensed something unusual.

This unique Dao Charm…

The Dao Charm that encompasses everything and merges with all…

The power of the Heavenly Dao?

The Golden Cloud at Li Ping’an’s spiritual platform trembled gently as he pushed open the ornately carved and gilded wooden door to see his father’s figure, which revitalized his spirit.

Li Dazhi was seated cross-legged on a chair, surrounded by a shining golden light, restrained layer by layer by the force of the Heavenly Dao.

“Tingzhu!” Li Ping’an turned his head and shouted.

“At your service!”

“Quickly go and invite Senior Tianli!

He’s in the Tianxu Ruins!

Quick!”

“Yes!” Feng Tingzhu turned and hastened away.

Suddenly, Li Ping’an heard a light noise by his ear.

Thud!

Golden light surged around him, and before his eyes, his Primordial Spirit was enveloped by the dense power of the Heavenly Dao.

However, unlike his previous direct contact with the Heavenly Dao, Li Ping’an did not hear the voice of the Heavenly Dao this time, nor did he see that cluster of rainbow light.

Instead, he found himself in a foggy land.

What is this…?

“Unity is strength, unity is strength!”

Li Ping’an followed the sound and saw two loudspeakers hanging on an electric pole.

He kept turning around to see a rust-streaked factory come into view.

This wasn’t his father’s factory…

It was the factory where his father had worked as a fitter…

“Beep beep beep!”

A green pickup truck honked its horn.

Li Ping’an had a moment of realization, closed his eyes, and then simultaneously opened them in both his Primordial Spirit and Dao Body, still seeing his father wrapped in layers of Heavenly Dao’s power.

He took a deep breath, instructed the people running towards him, and then took a few steps towards his father, slowly lowering his hand to rest on Li Dazhi’s shoulder.

This time, Li Ping’an actively submerged his Primordial Spirit, a strand of spiritual thought entered his father’s body and immersed into the area wrapped by the Heavenly Dao’s power.

He found himself again in that rust-streaked factory.

Looking down the main road, it was like a dark jungle emitting billowing black smoke.

The green truck had entered the factory gates, and as it passed by, the factory became more colorful, with men and women in workwear and bustling bicycles presenting a scene Li Ping’an had never witnessed before.

This is…

The heartland of his father.

‘Dad?’

Li Ping’an stepped inside, feeling an emotion akin to a pilgrimage inexplicably rising within him.

What he did not know was that this scene—whether inside the main cabin of the Azure Dragon Cloud Boat where he was touching his father’s shoulder or inside his father’s spiritual realm—was all reflected in a mirror.

The mirror was held by a delicate and translucent hand, reflecting a pair of phoenix eyes and an exquisitely beautiful face.

In Kunlun Mountain, within the Western Kunlun Secret Realm.

…

In the Splendid Pool shrouded in mist, the Queen Mother lay languidly on a precious jade throne carved from gems, unfazed by the presence of other women viewing her perfect figure, despite her attire being only a short top and skirt.

Such external appearances she no longer much cared for.

However, at this moment, the Queen Mother’s brows furrowed while observing the scene in the mirror, her expression shifting several times;

It became quite subtle, somewhat at a loss.

Her Kunlun Mirror had no function to pry into the minds of others, so why could it reveal the current illusionary realm of the hearts of Li Dazhi and Li Ping’an?

Should she stop here?

The Queen Mother frowned slightly.

She had been watching Li Ping’an through the mirror for some time already, after all, the emergence of the Heavenly Dao was now quite evident, and Ping’an was likely the new Heavenly Emperor in the Human Race’s Heavenly Court.

She needed to find the right moment to intervene, so she could secure a place in the future Heavenly Court and search for the opportunity to become a saint.

But now, Li Dazhi, for some unknown reason, suddenly displayed an anomaly.
