Chapter 592 - 592 208 The Xu Family Finally Reunites The Heavenly Dao Shows Anomalies_2

592: Chapter 208: The Xu Family Finally Reunites, The Heavenly Dao Shows Anomalies_2 592: Chapter 208: The Xu Family Finally Reunites, The Heavenly Dao Shows Anomalies_2 Li Ping’an was conferred the title of First-Rank Inspector General cum Centurion, with the authority to command troops from all regions and to exercise the right to execute first and report later, unfettered access to the palace, and not avoiding anyone on sight.

Upon Li Ping’an’s marriage, bestow the titles ‘Graceful,’ ‘Virtuous,’ ‘Wise,’ and enjoy the offerings of a first-rank immortal official of the Eastern Alliance.

All daughters of my officials may pursue him.]

[Xuanyuan’s crime is evident:

As the Human Emperor, I am also a filial son.

I have waged wars against the Demon Race since antiquity, killing countless lives, causing grievous injuries, which the Holy Mother cannot bear, nor do I wish it so.

Now that the Demon Race is attacking, our generals and soldiers are fighting valiantly, slaying countless demons, and their bravery shall be rewarded after battle.

I shall lead the troops into battle personally, and if we manage to repel the Demon Race for a thousand miles, I will cease the war and withdraw the troops, and for the next three thousand years, there shall be no more waging of war, to preserve the virtue of the Holy Mother.

I advise the demons to renounce their ways and return to mortality, to surrender the remaining great demons of antiquity and rejoin the ranks of the Hundred Clans.

It is time for the Human Race to rise, protected by the Heavenly Dao, and until the remnants are removed, our swords shall not rest!]

…

Li Ping’an had a hard time stabilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao within him, barely managing to support the Golden Cloud with his Green Cloud, when Senior Xu Sheng and his father each held up a notice right before his eyes.

Xu Sheng said with a smile, “Congratulations, Inspector General!”

Li Dazhi burst into laughter, “All daughters of my officials may pursue him!

Haha, brilliant!

The Yellow Emperor truly is an ingenious man!

If there was a vote for the ultimate Human Emperor, I’d definitely give the Yellow Emperor six six six votes!

Hahaha!”

Black lines covered Li Ping’an’s forehead.

He landed on his feet and upon glancing at Ningning Mu next to him, who was calmly looking at the sky with a slightly sullen face, he took the notice and read it carefully.

What’s going on?

He had already known about the position of First-Rank Inspector General cum Centurion from Minister Feng.

To be fair, he deserved it, as the matter of finding the Holy Mother indeed had a substantial impact on the Human Race.

But what’s with the last two lines?

Already conferring titles to his future wife?

And shared offerings as a first-rank immortal official?

Geez, isn’t the Yellow Emperor sort of abusing his power here?

And this thing about pursuing all daughters of my officials, what am I being treated as here?

A kind of Enlightenment Stone?

I just refused the Yellow Emperor’s proposition about ‘three hundred,’ and now this retaliation?

Might as well just focus on finding a partner every day, forget about cultivating any path or comprehending any law!

Of course, Li Ping’an felt that what he needed to do most now was to comfort the junior sister beside him.

“Ahem, Ningning, that…”

“I want all three titles!”

Ningning Mu pursed her lips, her delicate fingers gripped tightly, eyes full of determination.

Li Ping’an breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she wasn’t angry, that was good.

Li Dazhi said with a smile, “Ningning, this is decreed by the Human Emperor himself, we must…

ow ow!”

Li Ping’an promptly covered his father’s big mouth and dragged him into a corner, earnestly giving him a few words of advice.

He had planned to discuss the issue of the Heavenly Dao with his father, but when he was about to speak, the image of his father lecturing the Heavenly Dao came to mind, and he didn’t know how to start.

Old Comrade Li truly had an impressive moment this time.

Better help Xuntian Xu and his family reunite first, then in Dong’an City, have a good chat with his father.

Xu Sheng watched with a smile, eyeing Ningning Mu with glee.

Indeed, he had a granddaughter who might have been resurrected today…

…

The resurrection of Xuntian Xu’s wife and daughter went rather smoothly.

Li Ping’an didn’t really do much, simply watching from the side, following the instructions of the Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Manifestation Chart, he had Xuntian Xu slightly adjust the arrangement of the prohibitions on the spiritual lotus roots.

Thanks to Xuntian Xu’s efforts over the years, his wife Xu Lier and daughter Xu Qiuqiu’s spirits were already completely restored, and they had started the ritual of incense-burning to achieve divinity.

The so-called Way of Incense Divinity originated from antiquity, where one consolidates incense power to mold the spirit into a deity.

However, this method had many drawbacks, it was difficult to achieve without the aid of an expert, and the deities thus created had to continue relying on the power of incense for existence, if the incense ceased, so would the lifespan of the deity, therefore they must continually bring blessings to their community.

Innate Great Powers held no regard for it, and Qi Cultivators had no access to it, hence it was unknown to the common people.

Li Ping’an, Ningning Mu, Xu Sheng, and Li Dazhi arrived at the small temple’s backyard just as Xuntian Xu had finished all preparations.

The so-called secret technique of shaping the body with lotus roots, Emerald Bamboo, and peach blossoms was quite particular.

One must use lotus roots imbued with the power of incense fire—just grow them in the pond behind the temple.

To make the torso, select concentric lotus roots, penetrate with Spiritual Objects of Emerald Bamboo to form limbs and the head, creating an approximate human form, then decorate it with peach blossoms on the top of the head and the ends of the limbs.

Afterward came the engraving of the prohibitions.

Such prohibitions, different from those used in artifact refining, originated from ancient times and formed unique patterns, resembling lotuses carved upon a lotus root.

When everything was ready, it was time to cast the spell and lead the way.

Li Ping’an provided guidance step by step, Xu Sheng supplied Golden Immortal immortal power, and Xuntian Xu carefully led the spirit body of his wife, Xu Lier, step by step towards the altar, reciting prayers under his breath.

After a short while, Lady Xu sat at the edge of the platform, slowly lied down, and her spirit body overlapped with the lotus root body.

Xuntian Xu immediately knelt beside her, drawing the power of the divine flame housed in the front hall statue, immersing it within the lotus root.

No external immortal power was needed in this process.

Li Ping’an, sensing something, raised his eyebrows ever so slightly, and a faint golden light blossomed from his chest, a strand of which merged with the top of the lotus root body’s head.

In the next instant, layers of golden light rippled around Lady Xu.

The lotus root, Emerald Bamboo, and peach blossoms, under the nourishment of this light, rapidly transformed into flesh and blood, with a layer of crystal-clear, snow-white skin forming on the outside.

Li Ping’an, Xu Sheng, and Li Dazhi turned around simultaneously.

Having waited for a long time, Ningning Mu stepped forward and draped a thin blanket over the scene.

Shortly after, Lady Xu’s body was fully restored, and Xuntian Xu moved her to the side room to rest.

They repeated the process, and Xu Qiuqiu’s body was also restored.

With this, the revival was deemed complete.

The most difficult part of the process was the accumulation of divine flame and cultivation of the sacred lotus.

After years of hard work, Xuntian Xu finally saw the fruits of his labour.

Once Lady Xu and Xu Qiuqiu had freshened up and changed clothes, Xuntian Xu too changed into a solemn black robe and led his wife and daughter to bow before Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an slightly turned aside, accepting only a half bow.

“Thank you, Lord Ping’an!”

Tears filled Xuntian Xu’s eyes as he said tremulously, “Now that the deed is done, I shall honor the command given years ago.

I am willing to go through fire and water for Lord Ping’an, with no hesitation!”

“Ah, Brother Xu need not be so formal, please, rise.”

Li Ping’an went forward to help him up, while Ningning Mu assisted Lady Xu to her feet.

Li Ping’an said with emotion, “To have today’s event, it’s all thanks to sister-in-law who exchanged her life for the Soul Continuation Flower.

This heartfelt deed has touched the heavens and earth.

I have merely used a secret technique gifted by a former teacher, offering…

Immortal aid.”

“Ah,” sighed Xuntian Xu, “I truly did not know…

Thank you, Ping’an.”

Xu Sheng said, standing by, “If you really want to thank Ping’an, why not follow in Wang Shan’s footsteps, pledge allegiance to him as your lord?

Ping’an is now a First-Rank Great Commander, favored by the Holy Mother and regarded highly by the Emperor.

Who knows, he might even become the Heavenly Emperor someday!”

“This?”

Xuntian Xu was about to bow again when Li Ping’an quickly stopped him.

Li Ping’an responded with a mix of laughter and helplessness, “Don’t listen to the senior’s nonsense.

What Heavenly Emperor?

I’ve only just become a True Immortal.

Brother Xu, this temple must not be neglected.

The divine flame is linked to the lifespan of your sister-in-law and niece.”

“Ah,” Xuntian Xu hastened to say, “I have taken two disciples.

Later, I will instruct them to continue to do good deeds here.

I will also build a larger temple elsewhere to gather more divine flame.”

Li Dazhi suddenly suggested, “Or perhaps, we could move the statues of the two ladies to a larger temple, rather than having to build a new one.

It’s always cooler in the shade of a big tree.”

Li Ping’an looked at his father, “Dad, what do you mean?”

Li Dazhi raised his eyebrows, his eyes reflecting a sense of peace as he spoke gently, “It’s nothing, nothing.

Just had a sudden thought that the divine flame might come in handy for something big.”

“Dad, let’s discuss this later, shall we?”

“No problem!”

Li Dazhi waved his hand grandly:

“Let’s have a feast on the ship to celebrate.

We have lots of unused lotus roots, how about enjoying them today!”

Lady Xu and the delicate little girl had black lines streaking across their foreheads.

Xu Sheng chuckled and immediately sent a telepathic message to the hidden Immortals of the Wei Yuan Sect to arrange the banquet.

…

But let’s not dwell on the joyous reunion of the Xu family for now.

In the Palace of Nüwa, within the sanctuary of the Holy Mother.

The Holy Mother lay on her jeweled couch, her crystalline and transparent serpentine tail coiled around her.

Suddenly, she gave a soft exclamation, opening her eyes which held the ultimate truths of heaven and earth and the art of creation, then quickly returned to tranquility.

The Holy Mother turned to look at the steps next to her, where several Human Race women were meditating in deep concentration.

The woman closest to her was the newly arrived Qing Su, dressed in a flowing white gown, ethereal and pure, her beautiful visage untainted by dust and now bearing a holy luminescence.

The Holy Mother began to calculate with her fingers and soon furrowed her eyebrows.

Calculation was a method that involved modeling scenarios with the help of the Heavenly Dao.

The higher one’s cultivation, the stronger the ability to calculate—this, of course, does not include professionals like Fuxi and Fenghou.

At this moment, however, the Holy Mother suddenly found that she couldn’t pinpoint Qing Su’s location through calculation.

The Heavenly Dao provided no response.
