731: Chapter 255 Isn’t This Coincidental [Second Update, Vote Request] 731: Chapter 255 Isn’t This Coincidental [Second Update, Vote Request] “The disciples of the Taoist Sect have controlled too many aspects of The Great Dao, which has directly impacted the development of the Heavenly Dao itself.

Either the Heavenly Dao or the Taoist Sect must decline, and as of now, the Heavenly Dao is unstoppable.

Unless the three Sect Hierarchs of the Taoist Sect decide to shatter the heavens and obliterate all spirits to suppress the Heavenly Dao, the Daoist Celestials will inevitably fall in large numbers due to the push of the Heavenly Dao.”

“This is the essential contradiction.”

“The choice made by the three Sect Hierarchs of the Taoist Sect was obviously not to destroy all spirits.

Just on this point alone, we can’t vilify them.”

“As for the conflict in the Northern Continent, it has also become apparent that the Chan Teaching must have reached some sort of agreement with the Western Sect, very likely one targeting the Tongtian Sect.

To the Chan Teaching, the massive Tongtian Sect is too oppressive.”

Li Dazhi pondered for a moment before adding:

“But this event must have caused quite a displeasure between the two sides.”

“Why?”

“Many ferocious demons of the Western Sect were killed or injured…

Although these demons are not even pawns to the two Sect Hierarchs of the Western Sect, in the end, the Western Sect really gained nothing.”

Li Dazhi sighed:

“You empathize with the tragic current state of the Witch Clan, but these Sect Hierarchs and grandmasters from various sects do not share the same empathy for the Witch Clan.

“They have traveled through the Desolate Era and the ancient past, witnessing too many tragedies; those indiscriminately kind-hearted have long been washed away by the river of time…

except for certain members of the Dragon Clan, of course.”

“Think about it, what if you had roared ‘Stop the Divine Banner and save Xuan Ming,’ and then the three great Sect Hierarchs of the Taoist Sect appeared and sent those two Sect Hierarchs flying?

Would that be possible?

“Even, perhaps in the hearts of the Hierarchs from the Pure Ones, the current Heavenly Court doesn’t weigh as much as the Western Sect.”

Li Ping’an sighed: “It all comes down to conflicting interests.”

“Unless you bet everything on the Chan Teaching, granting them the power to appoint future gods, only then might the Chan Teaching get enraged on behalf of the Heavenly Emperor.”

Li Dazhi took two slices of a lemon-like Spirit Fruit, placed them on his eyes, and said leisurely:

“Don’t think too much about it.

The death of Xuan Ming was actually the result of the power struggle among the Chan Teaching, the Western Sect, and the Human Race.

“If the Chan Teaching and the Western Sect were truly hostile, the activation of the Divine Banner by the Jiejiao would not have gone smoothly;

“Although the Human Race sent a large number of Immortal troops in consideration of your reputation, these Immortal troops were all in the North Sea, arriving only after the battle had ended…

“Why do you think the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor left earlier?

Was it really to avoid the resentment of the Guiling?

He had already foreseen what would happen later.

“With the greater good in mind and a heart of benevolence, the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor gave the order.

Fenghou, caught between the enmity of the Human Race and the Witch Clan, intentionally diluted the order, preventing the Human Race soldiers from shedding blood for the Witch Clan.”

“This was the tacit understanding between the ruler and his minister.”

“Now look at the outcome: the Human Race has gained a reputation for putting past grudges aside, the Chan Teaching has accrued merit from the Heavenly Dao and a debt of gratitude for assisting the Witch Clan, and the Heavenly Court has gained the allegiance of the Witch Clan.

Everyone is happy.”

Li Ping’an shook his head, smiling.

Although he wanted to say that no one considered the feelings of the actual living beings;

Such a statement, after all, would still seem somewhat naive.

“Are you feeling better?” asked Li Dazhi with a coquettish pose.

“Feeling better,” Li Ping’an stood up and said, “I have to go back and continue with work.

I need to meticulously plan the combined assault of the Witch Clan and Human Race on He Tianhu Temple.”

“Ah!”

Li Dazhi called out: “Share some thoughts!”

“Thoughts?” Li Ping’an waved his hand, “To forge iron, one must be strong oneself!

The most important thing is to have a strong foundation!

With an iron fist in hand, the world is mine!”

“Silly boy, go deceive the Tongtian Sect, the people of the Chan Teaching are far more cunning than the Tongtian Sect.”

Li Dazhi shook his head and continued to swim around in the pool.

Soon, he thought of something and summoned the manager of the place.

“Rename this pool the Celestial Emperor Pool.

A pool the Heavenly Emperor has bathed in, five hundred Spirit Stones per hour, up to only six people allowed at the same time!”

“Isn’t this…

Well, it’s just a change of the sign,” the manager replied.

…

Meanwhile.

The Azure Wander Palace was bustling with noise and excitement.

Hundreds of Immortals gathered around, eyes wide with anticipation, watching the sprightly young girl standing with hands on her hips in the center.

Guilingling let out a scoff of pride through her nose, “If you want to see my Great Turtle Shell enhanced by the merit of the Heavenly Dao, then say something nice and hear it well!”

“Holy Mother, bless you!”

“Holy Mother, may you be auspicious!”

“Guilingling is the cutest of the Desolate Era!”

“Even the Heavenly Emperor has prostrated before Guilingling’s Turtle Shell!”

The surrounding Jiejiao Immortals burst into chortles.

Guilingling’s cheeks blushed slightly as she stamped her foot and scolded, “Whoever dares to joke about this, come out and roll!”

A group of Jiejiao Immortals laughed cheekily.

The reclining Tongtian Sect Leader on the high platform chided with a laugh, “Alright, alright, show them.

Let them increase their knowledge and understand the current extent of the Heavenly Dao’s development, so they’ll know how to act with discretion when they go out in the future.”

“Alright, I’ll show them just this once!”

Guilingling casually cast a spell—stuck her thumb in her mouth and puffed her cheeks out forcefully.

Pop!

A huge Turtle Shell with forty-nine layers fell in front of all the Immortals.

Enshrouded in a faint golden glow, the shell, which was originally ‘invincible in defense,’ now also had the ability to ward off all evil.

Guilingling couldn’t have been more proud.

She had received maps of countless minor worlds two days earlier and was waiting for everyone to come and pay respects to their master, so she could show off this triumph!

Guilingling boasted, “How about that!

It’s even more powerful now, isn’t it?”

“The merit of the Heavenly Dao is truly mysterious.”

“Holy Mother, when will you also bring us to protect the new Heavenly Emperor?

We also want to get some of the Heavenly Dao’s merit for protection!”

“Yeah, exactly, isn’t the Dao Immortal Tribulation coming soon?

If we could all get some of the Heavenly Dao’s merit, wouldn’t that be…

absolutely delightful!”
