Immortal Father
Chapter 617 - 617 216 The Ingenious Guiling_2

617: Chapter 216 The Ingenious Guiling_2 617: Chapter 216 The Ingenious Guiling_2 The boy held up a jade gourd with both hands, which opened on its own, and an elixir pill, resembling a jade bead, slowly floated out.

Li Ping’an’s mind stirred, “Is this pill the Nine-Turn Spirit Pill?”

“Indeed, this is the Nine-Turn Returning Spirit Pill personally refined by our master!”

“Can this pill help those who have fallen into demonhood…”

“It cannot,” the boy solemnly said, “The matter of the Human Race falling into demonhood is not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, it’s a killing weapon of the Way of Humanity, and abandoned by The Great Dao.”

Kongming gently waved his hand.

“Ping’an…

Don’t mind me…

I am just an old soldier…

that’s all…”

Li Ping’an bowed his head and sighed softly.

The elixir pill flew to him and entered his mouth, strands of glowing light surrounded his Dao Body, and the petrification on his body was slowly receding.

Before long, Li Ping’an moved his hands and feet, feeling a sense of comfort throughout his body.

“Where is my immortal power?”

Li Ping’an suddenly muttered.

“Ah, right!”

The boy said, “This is the effect of restraining the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Your immortal power and Primordial Spirit will both be suppressed, but they will be restored to their original state in three years!

You don’t need to worry!”

Three years, that surely beats being immobile for hundreds of years.

Li Ping’an bowed toward the boy and the Green Ox, “Many thanks to the venerable Taiqing!

May I ask what your name is?”

The boy’s crisp voice answered, “My name is Xiao Jin!

I also have a brother named Xiao Yin!

This is our master’s mount, called Green Ox!

He possesses the cultivation of a Daluo Golden Immortal!

And we have an eldest senior brother who has already severed his Kindly Corpse, he is very powerful!”

“Moo!”

The Green Ox abruptly stamped its hoof.

The boy quickly covered his mouth, looking at Li Ping’an with a bit of trepidation.

Li Ping’an said with a smile, “It’s alright, no one heard anything just now.”

Yet inwardly, he was taken aback.

Severing the Three Corpses refers to the completion of a Daluo Golden Immortal’s cultivation, after which one severs the Kindly Corpse, Wicked Corpse, and the Self Corpse.

Having severed the Three Corpses, one becomes eligible for sanctification.

In a world where Hongjun had merged with the Dao, generally around the time the Three Pure Ones severed their Three Corpses, Hongjun would bestow Hongmeng Purple Qi.

This Qi is the key to becoming a saint, as it connects one to the Heavenly Dao.

If the Heavenly Dao gives permission and bestows great merits, one can become a Heavenly Daoist Saint interlinked with the fate of the Heavenly Dao.

Typically, there is a significant gap between a Heavenly Daoist Saint and a Great Daoist Sage, but they already possess the characteristic of being immortal and indestructible, and it is considered a shortcut.

Therefore, hearing that the sole disciple of Taiqing, the Primordial Human Xuandu Da Fa Shi, had already severed his Kindly Corpse, Li Ping’an was genuinely astonished.

It implied that this unnamed Great Mage had become one of the top-notch masters in the world.

It was unknown if the other great disciples of the Three Teachings of the Daoist Sect had also begun their Corpse-Severing.

The boy said, “Provisional Heavenly Emperor, I’m just here to deliver the Elixir Pills, and now I’m heading back!”

Li Ping’an gave a salute in farewell.

The Green Ox mooed, turned around, and unsteadily made its way back to the Ninth Heaven.

A whisper crept into Li Ping’an’s ear, saying:

“Lord Li, when you have time, you can come above the Ninth Heaven, find a thatched cottage, and meet the venerable Taiqing.

When and how you come is all up to you.”

Li Ping’an blinked his eyes.

Was that the voice of Green Ox?

And, when he was forcibly drawing on the power of the Heavenly Dao, the whisper that warned him of backlash was in this same voice.

Had Green Ox been here all along?

Did it mean that Taiqing had known all along that these events would occur here, and that he would take the Great Vow to borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao?

Li Ping’an was filled with mixed emotions and bowed toward the Nine Heavens.

From the east came dozens of streaks of light, as a group of powerful individuals from the Human Race converged on the location.

Li Ping’an’s legs felt weak, and he slowly sat down, with several elders flying in timely to support his arms, accompanying him as he slowly took his seat.

“Elder, I’m fine, go help them,” he said.

“I’ll protect you here,” Yansheng said in a low voice, sitting in meditation to the side, “You can’t mobilize your immortal power now.”

“Mhm.”

Li Ping’an closed his eyes and fell into meditation, adopting the posture of one in cultivation.

However, his Primordial Spirit had entered a peculiar state of deep sleep, appearing to fuse with the Heavenly Dao.

He couldn’t even perform the basic breathing exercises.

He was just putting on an act.

It was as well, to avoid the upcoming pleasantries and the awkwardness that the title ‘Provisional Heavenly Emperor’ would bring.

A moment later, twelve Heavenly Immortals from Wanyun Sect used their magic to lift the piece of land that Zhunti Sect Hierarch had forcefully brought over.

With a few powerful individuals sent by the Human Emperor to guard them, they headed back to Wanyun Sect.

Li Ping’an remained in meditation, so the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan did not come to chat with him.

This Human Emperor hastily returned to the military camp, seizing the opportunity when the Sect Hierarch of Magical Combat from the Western Sect made a disordered retreat to expand his victories.

The battle between Zhunti and Nuwa had shaken the entire Desolate Era.

Zhunti’s Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, the Sect Hierarch Jieyin’s Twelve Rank Golden Lotus, Empress Nuwa’s Red Embroidered Ball, the Refining Demon Pot, and the Rivers and Mountains Sheji Map all made their appearances, clashing directly, with disturbances even resembling the supreme weapon for killing, the Pangu Banner.

The fight seemed to be between Zhunti and Nuwa, with a distant confrontation between Yuanshi Tianzun, Leader of the Chan Teachings, and Jieyin, the Great Sect Leader of the Western Sect.

Later, the attendant boy of Taiqing, the strongest of the Six Great Masters, also appeared.

The topic instantly reached its peak.

As for how these immortals prone to fun would spread the news about Li Ping’an taking the Great Vow to become the Heavenly Emperor, that remained to be seen.

…

“This?”

A girl clad in a green dress, stealthily peeked her head out from the Western Sea, looking at the large cloud carrying the immortal mountain.

After much consideration, she still decided to follow from a distance.

She had seen the entirety of the Magical Combat.

Now, the girl was still shocked by…

‘Wasn’t he just a True Immortal?

Is the Human Race this defying of heaven?

A mere True Immortal actually wielded the power of the Heavenly Dao to slay a Daluo and the Dao Bodies of three Taiyis, wow, this!’
