Li Ping’an pulled himself together and turned to make a bowing salute to Yun Zhongzi, smiling as he said,

‘Teacher, let’s go to Jade Void Palace.’

‘Very well.’

Yun Zhongzi rode the clouds, lifting Li Ping’an slowly into the sky, unhurriedly flying towards the northwest.

Yun Zhongzi said, ‘We’re taking it slowly to give the fellows in Jade Void Palace more time to prepare.’

‘What is there to prepare for?’

Li Ping’an sat down cross-legged beside Yun Zhongzi, looking down at the glowing wall of Skycutter Great Array, where shadows were faintly visible swirling and rising inside.

That was the God Court, trapped within the Skycutter Great Array.

It was the manifestation of resonance between the Southern Continent Human Race and the Heavenly Dao.

Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and chuckled, ‘As the Heavenly Emperor, your trip to Jade Void Palace is like the Heavenly Emperor visiting the Chan Teaching.

According to the rules of the Chan Teaching, they must prepare well.’

‘Teacher, my ascension to Heavenly Emperor still feels somewhat vague and unclear.’

Li Ping’an looked up towards the starry sky and sighed,

‘As a disciple, I am also somewhat perplexed.’

‘What perplexes you?’ inquired Yun Zhongzi gently, ‘Is it not knowing how to be the Heavenly Emperor?

How to build the Heavenly Court?’

‘I have already thought through my next steps,’ Li Ping’an muttered, ‘Do you remember the words I said to you in the beginning?

I am going to make those things come true, one by one.’

Yun Zhongzi’s eyes were full of satisfaction: ‘It is right to do so.’

Li Ping’an said, ‘What I worry about the most is that one day I might lose myself.

The power of the Heavenly Dao is overwhelmingly strong; acknowledging this, I can hardly keep it out anymore.

I’m afraid that the Heavenly Dao will gradually erode my identity as a member of the Human Race.’

Yun Zhongzi sighed lightly, ‘No one else can help you with this.

To become the Heavenly Emperor, you must bear its burdens.

What I can do for you is limited to external things, crafting some treasures and treasure halls for you.’

Li Ping’an said, ‘I’m just venting to you, Teacher.

I wouldn’t know whom else to tell these concerns.’

Yun Zhongzi laughed, ‘If you’re worried, you should talk to the Sect Hierarch.’

‘I wouldn’t dare.’

Li Ping’an raised his eyebrows slightly, glancing towards the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

‘I don’t want to show weakness.

Starting now, I need to consider how to be a good Heavenly Emperor.’

‘In fact, I am prepared…

Ningning is my anchor.

No matter how far I walk on the path of the Heavenly Emperor, as long as I can look back and see her, I will remember that I am a member of the Human Race, a living being, and must not view issues from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao.’

‘Ping’an,’ asked Yun Zhongzi, ‘I am still curious, you say you have a plan for building the New Heavenly Court; what is your first step?’

‘The first step is to pay respects to my Grand Master.’

‘And the second step?’

‘To pay respects to the Human Emperor.’

‘The third step?’

‘To pay respects to Granduncle Taiqing.’

Lines of black marks appeared on Yun Zhongzi’s forehead, ‘Are you trying to gather momentum?’

‘Not exactly, but I want all the Sect Hierarchs to know me.’

Li Ping’an smiled,

‘Look down there, Teacher.

This world is already quite crowded.

The West has the Western Sect, the Northern Continent is not suitable for living creatures to thrive, the East Continent is where the Human Race cultivates, and the Southern Continent is the mundane world of the Human Race.

‘If the Heavenly Court is established in the way Xuanyuan Huangdi and the Holy Mother of the Human Race envision, it’s actually about gradually taking control over the East Continent.’

‘What does this do for the Human Race?

It’s merely transferring the authority from Xuanyuan Huangdi’s hands to mine.

This will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Human Race’s meritorious generals who may not be willing to follow, diminishing the Human Race’s military power.

‘I wish not for this.’

Gleaming with divine light, Yun Zhongzi asked, ‘So what do you intend to do?’

‘Recruit troops and gradually conquer the Three Thousand Worlds, using the life force of beings from these worlds to support the New Heavenly Court.’

Li Ping’an’s eyes blazed with fervor,

‘I need my own foundation; I need to develop my Ministers, using the forge of battle as the best method.’

‘Dominating the Three Thousand Worlds beyond this one was the scheme of the Western Sect, which others might not fathom, but I can guess a thing or two.

Their aim is to cultivate numerous living beings within these small worlds to restrain the Heavenly Dao in return.’

‘What I intend to do is snatch food from the tiger’s mouth, use the strength of the Three Teachings of the Taoist Sect to suppress the Western Sect, and liberate those beings oppressed by the Western Sect.’

‘This way, the Heavenly Court flourishes.’

Yun Zhongzi realized that even his own Daoist heart was stirred at this moment.

‘Excellent!

I will speak to the Sect Hierarch on your behalf later!’

‘Thank you, Teacher.’

Li Ping’an mused for a moment, then asked softly, ‘Teacher, is there anything I should be mindful of when I go to Jade Void Palace?’

‘As for caution…

Hmm…’

Yun Zhongzi thought for a moment and said slowly,

‘You just need to be wary of your three Granduncles, it’s better to keep a distance from them.’

‘Which three Granduncles?’

Yun Zhongzi said, ‘Immortal Huanglong is ridden with bad luck, with terrible fortune.

He has lived from ancient times to now, has profound achievements, but hasn’t managed to keep a single decent treasure.

Being close to him, I fear you might also be tainted with misfortune.’

Li Ping’an nodded repeatedly, ‘And the others?’

Yun Zhongzi continued,

‘Ju Liuyun, I don’t quite like him.

He’s a bit harsh, though he doesn’t carry significant karmic hindrances.

‘And the last one, with the Taoist name Taiyi, you’d best not chat with him.’

‘Why is that?’

Yun Zhongzi looked skyward as if exasperated, ‘Well, he could talk you to death.’
