Immortal Father
Chapter 633 - 633 222 They Came Knocking

633: Chapter 222: They Came Knocking 633: Chapter 222: They Came Knocking Now that Li Ping’an had received the Divine Marriage Grant, he had achieved nearly half his goal.

He had also heard what the Holy Mother had announced to the Human Race:

“The Wanyun Palace will select officials for the Heavenly Court in three years, requiring capable governors and valiant generals to join the Heavenly Court and ensure the perpetual prosperity of our Human Race.”

This left Li Ping’an slightly apprehensive.

If, after three years, only a few people came to the Wanyun Palace for the selection, wouldn’t that be…quite embarrassing?

‘I’ll have to ask my father for help when the time comes, to at least ensure that the sects within Castcloud Hall’s sphere of influence send some young people to fill the numbers.

The main thing is to create a spectacle, and then find a dignified reason to eliminate them afterward.’

This was what Li Ping’an planned in his heart.

He turned his head to look at Ningning Mu and found her sleeping peacefully, feeling his heart fill with warmth.

The world was turbulent, with mighty powers dancing chaotically, the Heavenly Court bore heavy responsibilities, and numerous figures eyed it greedily.

If one could have a small home to rest for a while, that too would be a most comforting affair.

Suddenly, the Holy Mother said, “By the way, Ping’an, do you know about procreation?

Here is the ‘Treasure Record of Human Reproduction’ made by the Primordial Human Race; take it and study it.”

A book made of white jade emerged from the fingertips of the Holy Mother and floated towards Li Ping’an, who caught it.

Just as Li Ping’an was about to open the jade book, a glint of light flashed from the Holy Mother’s fingertips, and he found himself outside the palace.

“Go outside and have a look.

Once your wife awakens, you can return to prepare for the wedding.

This matter should be expedited, not delayed, to leave no gap for Jade Pool to intervene.”

The Holy Mother added:

“Or you could just get married here.”

“Thank you for your kind offer, but I’ve already ordered preparations to be made in Dong’an City,” Li Ping’an replied.

“That’s good,” the Holy Mother chuckled lightly, then used a barrier to throw Li Ping’an outside the palace.

Li Ping’an opened the jade book and was immediately captivated by the illustrations within.

This…

Was the Holy Mother giving him a ‘Desolate Era Edition of Health and Hygiene Manual’?

Goodness, the Primordial Human Race was already so advanced; there were many “knowledge” points he had never seen before!

No wonder the Holy Mother had told him to go outside and look.

A streak of golden light raced across the starry sky outside the Wanyun Palace, heading straight for this place.

At that moment, Li Ping’an, bereft of his immortal senses, failed to notice someone approaching.

The visitor deliberately concealed their presence and drew close to Li Ping’an, peeking over his shoulder.

“Couldn’t you ask me about these matters?”

Li Ping’an shuddered and leaped to the side, turning to glare at the suddenly appeared Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan.

“Your Majesty!”

Li Ping’an calmly put away the jade book and inquired with a smile, “Has the conflict ceased?”

“It has, we gained two thousand miles of land this time!

Hahaha!”

Xuanyuan, full of vigor, placed his hands on his waist and lamented, then his expression became somber as he sighed,

“Expanding the human territory comes at the cost of countless warriors’ lives.

Although this conflict was initiated by the Demon Race and we emerged victorious, our casualties were grave.

“However, once the new Heavenly Court is established, these issues will be greatly alleviated!”

“I have yet to congratulate you, my friend, on your Great Vow to establish the Heavenly Emperor’s position, to severely damage the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven, and suppress the Western Sect, a feat seldom seen since the ancient times between heaven and earth!”

Xuanyuan bowed in salute.

Li Ping’an was quick to return the bow and said, “Your Majesty is too kind, it was nothing more than a desperate fight as I was cornered by the Western Sect and Ten Thousand Demons Heaven.”

“A wonderful desperate fight!

Our Human Race owes its present state to those desperate fights!”

Xuanyuan’s tone changed:

“By the way, Ping’an, have you settled your marriage?”

“It’s settled, there were some complications,” Li Ping’an sighed, “I plan to marry my childhood sweetheart as soon as possible.

We’ll have a simple ceremony in Dong’an City to pay respects to heaven and earth.”

Xuanyuan showed regret: “No grand celebration?”

“No celebration.”

“Well, it’s also good to have a grand celebration next time.”

Xuanyuan folded his arms, pondering,

“Compared to you now, Li Mu’s daughter does seem a bit weak, but at least she has the Holy Mother’s endorsement.

The Holy Mother can be considered your junior sister’s backer now.

“Your haste, is it because you fear the Queen Mother forcefully intervening?”

“In fact…from a grand scheme perspective, the Queen Mother is an excellent candidate for Heavenly Queen.

She is also a first-class beauty in the heavens, with the grace of the ancient Xihe, and now a master in her own right, most suitable to be the cornerstone of the new Heavenly Court.”

Yet Li Ping’an laughed, “But Your Majesty, if I were in the Da Luo Realm, considering the grand scheme, maybe I would think about asking for Queen Mother’s hand; but at present, I am only at the True Immortal Realm.”

“Are you afraid she’ll bully you?”

“It’s not the fear of being bullied, mainly I do not wish to be controlled.”

Li Ping’an’s eyes shone with determination as he spoke softly,

“In this life-and-death ordeal, I’ve come to understand many things.

“Only the strength in one’s hands is real power.

Support gained through trading for other things is just a castle in the air and cannot withstand the so-called shocks of interest.

“Once my injuries are healed, I shall devote myself to cultivation, grasp the power of the Heavenly Dao, and employ all viable means to enhance myself.”

Xuanyuan looked at Li Ping’an’s face and nodded, smiling.

“Okay, keep it up…

I’ll prepare a grand gift for you later.

The new Heavenly Court cannot be without soldiers and generals.

In three years, I’ll give you one hundred thousand immortal soldiers and three hundred immortal generals…

any more might be too much for you to support.”

Li Ping’an bowed in thanks: “I appreciate it, Your Majesty, but could the gift possibly be delayed a bit?”

Xuanyuan looked puzzled: “Oh?

Why is that?”

“Mainly because I can’t afford to support even ten thousand.”

Li Ping’an revealed a smile of poverty and helplessness:

“Although my father is a Wealth Immortal, all the Spirit Stones he earns belong to the Wanyun Sect.

How could I use the sect’s fortune to support the troops of the Heavenly Court?”
