630: Chapter 221 The Holy Mother Bestows Marriage and Settles Accounts at the Jade Pool 630: Chapter 221 The Holy Mother Bestows Marriage and Settles Accounts at the Jade Pool “Why is Ping’an so busy?”

Li Dazhi looked at Elder Yansheng and asked,

“He just got back and has to rush to the Holy Mother Palace.

He said he’d wait for me to go together, sigh, young people really are fickle.”

“Being busy is good.”

Elder Yansheng looked at the row of bodies that had just been placed into coffins, and said softly, “If our Wanyun Sect can produce a Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race, even if the sect were to suffer as a result…”

“Ah!”

Li Dazhi frowned and said,

“Elder, don’t speak such words!

I’ve been feeling more and more that one must not speak carelessly, as it might actually come true.

The Heavenly Dao is always enveloping you and me.”

Elder Yansheng reminded, “Uncle-Master, the Qingluan divine envoy has arrived, and this time it’s a grand arrival, witnessed by all beings of heaven and earth.

We must not be discourteous.”

“I’ll go and deal with it.”

Li Dazhi glanced at the Sect Leader’s crystal coffin, his eyes suddenly brimming with tears, and he sighed,

“When the Sect Leader left me there alone, he told me that he owed Wanyun Sect a debt of Spirit Stones.”

“Isn’t it just a matter of some Spirit Stones?”

“The Sect Leader felt that as long as he perished, Wanyun Sect would be spared by Wanyun Heaven.”

“But in truth, Wanyun Heaven was actually after me; they wanted to extinguish the Great Fate Holder of the Human Race…

If only I had discovered the Sect Leader’s anomaly earlier, it wouldn’t have come to this…”

“Uncle-Master,” Elder Yansheng persuaded, “the departed is gone.

As a Qi Cultivator, the detachment we cultivate should extend to life and death.

Don’t let the Sect Leader’s passing be troubled.”

“In this life, I am bound to prosper Wanyun!”

Li Dazhi rose to his feet, his hands behind his back, and walked toward the door.

Elder Yansheng lowered his head and drew on his dry pipe a few times, unable to hide his melancholy.

A young man with a square face approached Elder Yansheng and saluted, “Master, several elders request your presence to discuss the matter of expenditures.”

“Hmm.”

Elder Yansheng put away his eye bag, took a few steps with his hands behind his back, then turned his head to look at the young man behind him and softly called, “Li Jing…”

Li Jing promptly responded, “Disciple here.”

“Ascend to immortality soon!”

Elder Yansheng patted Li Jing’s arm with vigor,

“Although Wanyun Sect has suffered a calamity, our Wanyun Sect has produced a Heavenly Emperor!

The prosperous era is now in the hands of you young ones.

You must practice diligently so that one day you may follow the Heavenly Emperor and contend across the Three Realms!”

“Yes!”

Li Jing’s gaze was unwavering, his serious face etched with resolve,

“Disciple dares not slacken in the slightest!”

Elder Yansheng smiled, continuing to walk with his hands behind his back, his slightly stooped figure hiding an inexplicable strength.

The words he used to inspire his disciple, were they not also his own heart’s declaration?

Outside the hall.

Li Dazhi led the immortals of Wanyun Sect in saluting the Qingluan divine bird from the heavens.

The Mountain Protection Array closed on its own, allowing the Qingluan divine bird to land unobstructed atop Wanyun Sect’s main peak.

The four divinely beautiful and graceful fairy maidens descended from the back of Qingluan, hovering in front of the divine bird, their long hair and fairy ribbons wafting diagonally upward.

They bowed slightly towards Li Dazhi and said in unison,

“Greetings to the father of the Heavenly Emperor.”

Their voices tender, coquettish, gallant, or ‘just eighteen years old’ voice cracking.

“I dare not accept such a title,” Li Dazhi said with a look of apprehension, saluting with cupped hands, “What brings the four divine envoys to Wanyun Sect?”

The woman on the left said softly, “Wanyun Sect has been ravaged, and our mistress is concerned.

The calamities brought by Wanyun Heaven are a disaster for heaven and earth.

My mistress, due to ancient matters, could not intervene in time.

Please, Heavenly Emperor, do not blame her.”

Another woman said, “Is the Heavenly Emperor present?

Our mistress has heard that the Heavenly Emperor has been injured and is suffering backlash from the Heavenly Dao.

The Jade Pool possesses a Secret Technique treasure land that can help the Heavenly Emperor recover soon.”

“Oh, this!”

Li Dazhi slapped his thigh,

“How unfortunate, my Ping’an has just been summoned by the Holy Mother and is not currently within the mountain gate.

“Why not come in and rest until Ping’an returns?”

The four maids exchanged glances, seeing shock and urgency in each other’s eyes.

As the Queen Mother’s personal maids, they were not only unparalleled in beauty in the Jade Pool but also held authority over the many fairies there.

They were well aware of their mistress’s intentions;

As for the grudge between the Human Race’s Holy Mother Nuwa and their Queen Mother, they had even witnessed the entire affair.

And now, Nuwa had suddenly made a move.

“Since the Heavenly Emperor is absent, we shall not intrude.”

“We apologize if we have disturbed anyone.”

“This is a gift from the Jade Pool, may it grant rest to the departed spirits of Wanyun Sect.”

The maid on the right gently descended, handing the black-wrapped tray to the Master of Caiyun Peak who had come forward to meet them.

Then, with a high cry, the Qingluan bird turned as the four fairy maidens floated back onto its back.

They left a streak in the sky that caused onlookers to linger in thought for a long time, swiftly returning to the Western Kunlun Secret Realm.

Li Dazhi saluted them off, watching the sky and shaking his head slightly.

If they had sent these four beauties over sooner, wouldn’t that have settled it?

What was the Queen Mother thinking before?

Why send an unpleasant servant to disturb Ping’an?

The thoughts of such powerful female figures were truly incomprehensible.

An elder whispered to ask, “Grandmaster Dazhi, the Queen Mother has sent people twice, the first time the luan bird was inconspicuous, and this time the Qingluan divine bird was ostentatious…

what does this mean?”

“What else could it mean?”

Li Dazhi pursed his lips and clicked his tongue,

“The Heavenly Emperor has appeared, and the Heavenly Court is about to be established.

What position in the Heavenly Court is second only to the Heavenly Emperor?”

Several elders pondered together.

“Heavenly Prime Minister?”

“No, it must be…

Heavenly Empress?”

“Ah?

The Queen Mother wants to be Ping’an’s Heaven!”

The elder who spoke was hushed by someone nearby as the elders of Wanyun Sect looked at each other in disbelief.

This matter was too shocking for the world,

Yet it had a perverse sense of plausibility.

Li Dazhi shook his head, turned, and walked back into the hall, contemplating in his heart:
