684: Chapter 240: Initial Achievement of Merit!

A ten-zhang-long ordinary cloud boat swiftly glided across the skies above the East Sea.

Inside the unremarkable canopy of the boat sat the current core members of the Heavenly Court.

Among them was a Daluo Golden Immortal, Mother Guiling Guilingling, who was temporarily unable to exert much of her strength;

There was also a Great One Golden Immortal, Immortal Huanglong, whose mana was profound but who also could not display much of his power for the time being;

And two Golden Immortals: Elder Luo Xuejing of the Heavenly Square Pavilion and Elder Qing Su of the Casting Cloud Sect.

With such strength, they could traverse the East Continent unchallenged, not to mention five Heavenly Immortals—Wang Shan and four trusted aides—as a supplement to their martial power.

As for the slightly plump Daoist sitting beside Li Ping’an, his main roles were to handle travel reimbursements, enliven the team atmosphere, and enhance the team’s fortune.

He would not be needed for magical combat.

Qing Su steered the cloud boat, preparing to detour from the East Sea to the North Sea and then cut into the poisonous and miasma-filled land of the Northern Continent.

As they neared the North Sea, Li Ping’an gathered the immortals to start discussing their next course of action.

“According to the information gathered by the Heavenly Square Pavilion, the Western Sect is intending to incite a rebellion among the Witch Clan tribes.

Our mission is to prevent this rebellion and try to persuade the remnants of the ancient Witch Clan to become an aid to our Heavenly Court,” Li Ping’an pondered for a few moments and then said slowly.

“Winning over the Witch Clan will certainly not be simple; it is a mid to long-term goal for us.

“This rebellion is an opportunity to curry favor with them.

As long as we can thwart the intentions of the Western Sect, it would be beneficial for us,” Li Ping’an continued.

Li Dazhi asked, “Does that mean we should avoid killing members of the Witch Clan as much as possible?”

“Not necessarily,” Li Ping’an replied, “Our principle is to prioritize self-protection above all else.

Also, there’s one more thing.”

Li Ping’an took a half-mask from his sleeve and put it on in front of everyone.

He said, “If I show up as myself, it could attract endless trouble.

Therefore, in actions where I’m directly involved, I will conceal my identity as Li Ping’an and appear in disguise.

From now on, I am the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Square Pavilion, Mo Wendi.

Everyone, be careful not to call me by the wrong name later.”

“Alright,” Qing Su responded softly, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Li Ping’an knew his master well, so he took out another half-mask of a similar style and passed it to her.

Qing Su looked it over in her hands, and after refining it, put it on her face.

Li Ping’an lowered his head and rubbed his nose.

He couldn’t tell if it was because they hadn’t seen each other in a long time, but his master, after achieving immortality, seemed to be…

a bit more feminine than before.

“But,” Mother Guiling whispered, “isn’t the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Square Pavilion the prospective Heavenly Emperor of the New Heavenly Court?”

Luo Xuejing laughed, “His Majesty means that the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Square Pavilion is a servant of the Heavenly Court, and since His Majesty is now playing the role of the Pavilion Master, he is, in essence, impersonating His Majesty’s own servant, thus concealing his identity.”

Mother Guiling blinked, with a few question marks popping up above her head.

Li Ping’an said, “As long as no one else knows that the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Square Pavilion is Li Ping’an, that is enough.”

While talking, Li Ping’an had already taken out a pair of fake whiskers and stuck them on.

Mother Guiling couldn’t help but laugh out loud, exclaiming how amusing it was.

Immortal Huanglong grumbled, “Actually, it’s not necessary to go through so much trouble.

Guiling and I can just make a move and subdue them all at once.”

“The Immortal must not be careless.”

Wang Shan said earnestly:

“The Witch Clan is also an ancient dominant force.

Although they have fallen now, there are still a few powerful masters among them.

“Whether the Western Sect wants to cozy up to the Witch Clan or attack them, they will surely need to deploy corresponding masters to ensure they can suppress the Witch Clan at critical moments or retreat unharmed.

“If we refer to the scale of the masters deployed by the Western Sect when they attacked the Wanyun Sect, it’s possible they could have a Daluo Golden Immortal in their ranks.”

Immortal Huanglong smiled nonchalantly: “If the enemy has a Daluo Golden Immortal, then I shall meet them in battle!

The rest of you deal with the other masters swiftly, then come to aid me!”

Mother Guiling blinked: “Should I call for reinforcements?

I can only use a little bit of my divine skills now, the power of the Heavenly Dao is too hateful.”

“There’s no need for that!”

Immortal Huanglong waved his hand dramatically and said solemnly:

“I have already made an appearance before the masses, then landed on the rooftop of the Heavenly Emperor’s temple, where I am now the protective dragon deity.

“Wouldn’t the Heavenly Dao have to show some respect to me?

“Everyone, rest assured, I only feel refreshed and in high spirits now.

The realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal is not far off!”

Li Dazhi gave a thumbs up, and Immortal Huanglong stroked his beard with a smile.

Li Ping’an said with a laugh, “In that case, Uncle Huanglong will be our main strength later on.

Think thrice before acting, and when encountering enemy masters, try not to engage right away.

Let’s all be cautious for now.”

During the conversation, Li Ping’an took out a silver-gray shuttle and handed it to Luo Xuejing.

He instructed, “This is a Spiritual Treasure shuttle made by Brother Xu.

Although it’s a bit slow, its advantage is that it can conceal traces and eliminate aura.

After we enter the Northern Continent, we’ll switch to this.”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Luo Xuejing said as she took the shuttle with both hands and began refining it quickly.

Li Ping’an then opened his sleeve and pulled out twelve storage rings with identical designs, distributing one or two to each person not yet a Golden Immortal.

“These are Self-moving Immortal Armors that Brother Xu and I completed together.

You may think of them as puppets with the combat power of True Immortals.

“The Self-moving Immortal Armor inside the blue rings is noted for its endurance and can operate for several days and nights; it can also automatically absorb Spiritual Energy and convert it into Spiritual Power.

“The armor within the red rings is known for its explosive power and can self-destruct.

“The method of use is very simple; just issue a vocal command.”
