Chapter 649 - 649 227 Traveling to Jade Void Worshiping Yuanshi_2

649: Chapter 227: Traveling to Jade Void, Worshiping Yuanshi_2 649: Chapter 227: Traveling to Jade Void, Worshiping Yuanshi_2 When did the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth become like this.

The young Human Race nowadays has become so indifferent…

Li Ping’an, however, said, “I am somewhat closer to Immortal Huanglong, and the Heavenly Dao is giving warnings, as if it has marked Uncle Teacher as ‘dangerous’.”

“What?” Immortal Huanglong frowned and said, “Really?

For real?”

“Indeed it’s true,” Li Ping’an rolled up his sleeve, revealing his arm with every hair standing on end.

The complexion of Immortal Huanglong darkened, and he nearly had tears of old age in his eyes.

Guang Chengzi hurriedly said, “Let’s head to the main hall first; your junior brothers and sisters have been waiting for a long time.”

“Uncle Teacher, your arrangements are best.”

Li Ping’an smiled, cupped his hands in salute, and positioned himself slightly to the back of Yun Zhongzi as they descended towards the natural formation where the Jade Void Palace was located.

As they entered the barrier, Li Ping’an was awestruck by the dozens of magnificent jade and golden palaces connected in this place, when Immortal Huanglong rushed straight up to him.

“Nephew, my good nephew!

Is there a solution to this problem of mine?

You are the Heavenly Emperor!

Can’t you just make a stroke of the brush and make the Heavenly Dao accommodate me?”

Guang Chengzi showed a helpless expression and gave Li Ping’an an apologetic smile.

Li Ping’an cleared his throat, pondered for a moment and said, “Immortal Huanglong, after careful sensing, it’s not that you are being rejected by the Heavenly Dao, but the Dragon Clan is being rejected by it.

Presumably, it’s because of the ancient war shattering heaven and earth between the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan.

It’s actually not difficult to resolve this; one just needs to do more good deeds and influence the Heavenly Dao.”

Immortal Huanglong was stunned: “Ah?

Influence the Heavenly Dao?”

“There’s only this way,” Li Ping’an cupped his hands and said, “If you have time later, I will explain it to you in detail.

I should greet the various Uncle Teachers first.”

“Ah, alright!

Alright!”

Immortal Huanglong nodded in quick succession:

“You go first, I am not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry.”

Li Ping’an replied with a smile and turned to the eight immortals standing in front of the main hall.

Yun Zhongzi had already introduced them all to him in whispers.

First with three figures, and then with eight, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Teaching had almost all arrived.

After Li Ping’an greeted these eight immortals and exchanged greetings with several dozen disciples of the Chan Sect behind them, he finally noticed a problem.

Why wasn’t Immortal Taiyi present?

Just at the right moment, Guang Chengzi explained, “Immortal Taiyi isn’t feeling well in his Dao Body today and is resting in a side hall.

There will be an opportunity to introduce him to you later, Ping’an.”

In a side hall, a handsome male immortal tied up with immortal rope and hung from the beams secretly rolled his eyes.

“Okay,” Li Ping’an replied with a smile.

In the center of the main hall, two streams of immortal light slowly condensed, and the main seat was now occupied by a middle-aged Daoist in a black robe with an imposing face, while Immortal Weng of the South Pole stood beside, radiant with the unique charm of ‘Immortal Peach’ on his head.

The disciples quickly turned to pay their respects, calling out in unison, “Teacher.”

Li Ping’an cupped his hands and bowed respectfully, his Dao heart feeling a bit nervous without reason.

The real Yuanshi Tianzun, a Sect Hierarch-level backer!

He held his hands in a circle, bowed his head, and said loudly, “Disciple pays respects to the Sect Hierarch, Grandmaster.”

Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard and nodded, speaking gently: “The Heavenly Emperor need not be so courteous.”

Li Ping’an continued, “The Heavenly Emperor is merely chosen by the Heavenly Dao.

I follow the Dao taught by my teacher Yun Zhongzi, and I have obtained opportunities granted by the Human Emperor.

I should honor my Teacher and follow faithfully.

Therefore, as a disciple, I must show the proper respects, revere the Three Pure Ones, and pay homage to the Human Emperor.”

“Good,” Yuanshi Tianzun said with a smile, his voice very warm:

“It is rare to see such a sincere Dao heart in you, and you shall certainly achieve great things in the future.

“But since you have made the Great Vow and become the Heavenly Emperor, supported by the Heavenly Dao and recognized by all beings, you need not be so formal towards us, who are akin to carefree wandering cranes.”

“Please, Heavenly Emperor, step forward and sit with the other disciples.”

The Eleven Golden Immortals of Chan Teaching and the dozens of disciples bowed in unison.

White Crane Boy quickly walked forward, carried over a square treasure throne, and placed it to the right, while wisps of immortal light solidified into dozens of mats, arrayed on both sides.

That throne was of course prepared for Li Ping’an.

Li Ping’an modestly declined at first but was pressed by Guang Chengzi to sit solemnly on the throne.

The disciples of the Chan Sect seated themselves on the left and right, while Yun Zhongzi took his place beside Immortal Weng of the South Pole.

Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard and chuckled: “Who has Taiyi offended among you this time?”

A short, plump Daoist stood up, bowed, and replied, “Teacher, we were worried that Taiyi might offend the Heavenly Emperor.”

“No matter,” Yuanshi Tianzun said with a smile, “Taiyi isn’t without tact.

Although he is verbally harsh, he too harbors an untainted Dao heart.”

With that said, Yuanshi Tianzun gently pointed, and a corner of the Immortal Palace twinkled with immortal light.

Li Ping’an turned his head to look and saw the young Daoist with a face reminiscent of ‘Li Xunhuan’s long hair,’ dressed in a blood-red long robe and belted with a white cloth, approaching with a grim expression.

Is this Immortal Taiyi?

Several Precept Teaching Immortals had already begun to smile, their lips twitching.

The short, plump Daoist who had previously pulled in the Immortal Rope sat down with bowed head.

Immortal Taiyi calmly walked to his mat, bowed deeply to Yuanshi Tianzun, and then took his seat with dignity.

Li Ping’an inwardly mumbled.

Isn’t this just fine?

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, his voice warm as he said:

“Now, there is endless strife among the creatures of heaven and earth, and the burden upon the Heavenly Emperor’s shoulders is indeed not light.

“Ping’an, since you are a disciple of my Chan Sect, it is our inescapable duty to assist you in establishing the Heavenly Court, to set order, benefit all beings, and uphold heaven and earth.

“Do you have any difficulties at present?

You may speak of them all today.”

“Reporting to my revered master,”

Li Ping’an rose to pay his respects, clasping his hands as he said:

“The Heavenly Court is newly founded, with only myself at the helm, and all things are difficult, yet all things can be resolved.

“It is only the great sects of the West whose leaders, both great and small, hinder the order of heaven and earth, attempting to erase me, their hearts deserving of punishment, which leaves me unable to be at ease.”

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slowly and said in a gentle voice, “The great sects of the West had their chance to flourish, and their leaders are set on enhancing the West, often acting with oversight.

You need not worry too much about this matter; later, I will dispatch several disciples to their Spirit Mountain to inform them that the Heavenly Emperor is protected by the Chan Sect, and they will not dare trouble you further.”

“Many thanks to my master!”

Guang Chengzi rose and said, “Teacher, I will go to the West immediately, and request Junior Sister Cihang, Junior Brother Puxian, and Junior Brother Dao Xing to accompany me.”

“Good.”

Yuanshi Tianzun flicked his finger lightly, and a jade ruyi fell in front of Guang Chengzi, whom promptly raised his hand to hold it.

Li Ping’an saw the only female immortal among the Twelve Golden Immortals, Taoist Compassionate Ferry, with a kind face and a red mole on her forehead, rise along with two middle-aged male cultivators.

The four high-level practitioners from the Chan Sect left on clouds together, heading directly for Spirit Mountain.

Li Ping’an bowed again to Yuanshi Tianzun.

“Many thanks to my master for upholding justice for me!”

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded with a smile: “Are there any other difficulties?

This was but a minor matter.”

Li Ping’an spoke earnestly, “For other difficulties, I can seek out various uncles for solutions.

The Heavenly Court is not yet established, and the specifics are not yet known.”

“Good.”

Yuanshi Tianzun said, “Our entire Chan Sect will surely give our full support to the Heavenly Court.”

“Many thanks to my master!”

“Take your seat,” Yuanshi Tianzun gestured lightly, “Today, we will not discuss The Great Dao or other matters, but simply treat the Heavenly Emperor with an immortal banquet, and if any disciples wish to join the Heavenly Court, they may come forward and reveal some of their divine skills.”

After speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun gradually became faint and disappeared into the vastness in two streams of immortal light.

A palpable sigh of relief spread among the immortals within the hall.

Li Ping’an nearly lost his composure.

Outside the hall, a flock of white cranes flew in, transforming into children, who brought forth immortal fruits and presented immortal brew.

Immortal Huanglong immediately brought over a meditation cushion to Li Ping’an’s side, took his seat cross-legged, and asked anxiously, “Heavenly Emperor, Ping’an, let’s talk quickly about the matter we discussed earlier.”

Immortal Taiyi crossed his arms, a cold smirk on his lips:

“Is it for fear of letting This Poor Daoist make an appearance, fearful that I might offend this Immortal Heavenly Emperor?

Such a confident sect.”

Li Ping’an’s forehead was lined with black streaks.

The immortals all averted their gazes.

Chi Jingzi took out the yin-yang Precious Mirror, frowning as he said, “Taiyi Junior Brother, you must not be disrespectful.”

Immortal Taiyi shrank his neck a little and nonchalantly picked up an immortal peach.

Immortal Huanglong laughed and said, “Never mind, Ping’an, you don’t have to bother with him; he’s always like that…

How should one resolve being forsaken by the Heavenly Dao?”

Li Ping’an replied, “Actually, it’s just about doing more good deeds…”

Immortal Taiyi muttered, “You’re asking in vain, Huanglong Senior Brother.

For you, living another day is already great, the Dragon Clan nearly brought about the end of heaven and earth, you’re lucky not to be struck by thunder and should be grateful.”

Huanglong’s face was full of black lines: “Shut up!

Stop talking so much!

Watch it with me!”

Bang!

A green jade Treasure Cauldron suddenly appeared, entrapping Immortal Taiyi within.

The somewhat plain-looking Immortal Yuding, with a smile, clasped his hands and sparingly said, “Talk.”

Li Ping’an looked at Immortal Yuding carefully and, with a smile, clasped his hands, continuing his talk with Immortal Huanglong on how to resolve “the disdain of the Heavenly Dao.”

He was considered an authority on this subject.

Inside the jade cauldron, Immortal Taiyi stretched lazily and reclined to continue munching on the immortal peach.

Yet tens of thousands of miles away from the Jade Void Palace in the heart of East Continent, at the Casting Cloud Sect.

More than a dozen streaks of light landed in front of the gates of the Casting Cloud Sect, immediately attracting the attention of the Qi Cultivators from all directions.

A masked female immortal looked at the gates of the Casting Cloud Sect with complex eyes.

Behind her, two old women supported the drunken Wei Yanzu, accompanied by seven or eight graceful women in tight, short skirts as they stepped forward.

“I, Sun Yingying from Pleasure Valley, seek an audience with Wanyun Sect’s Great Wealth Immortal!”
