“It’s alright,” Nüwa sighed, “Your master wants me to be an intermediary to ask the Heavenly Emperor to select a group of experts from the Chan Teaching, to serve as the Immortal attendants safeguarding the Heavenly Emperor.

Thus, you and your fellow disciples may also earn some Heavenly Dao merit and suppress your personal karmic obstacles.”

Guiling Holy Mother said with a smile, “That sounds like a good thing.”

“It may be a good thing for the Chan Teaching, but for the Human Race’s Heavenly Court, it’s an additional burden.”

Nüwa said softly:

“I need to ponder this matter carefully.

What your master really wants is for those disciples with karmic obstacles to enter the Heavenly Court.

“But once this precedent is set, how will the Heavenly Court stand in the future?

Will the Heavenly Court become a place to cleanse beings of their karmic obstacles?

“Not to mention, karmic obstacles are often due to excessive killing, and it’s only right for the Heavenly Dao to send down tribulations.

Ping’an would certainly not agree to this.”

Guiling Holy Mother pursed her lips slightly: “Alright then.”

“Your master also mentioned other matters, and I can agree to those.”

Nüwa spoke gently:

“Furthermore, please inform your master that I cannot and will not play the role of intermediary.”

“Yes!” Guiling Holy Mother said with a smile, “Thank you, Your Highness!

I shall go and report back to Master right away!”

“Go ahead.”

Nüwa waved her hand and Guiling Holy Mother bowed once more, retreated a few steps, and then transformed into a beam of light, disappearing from sight.

Nüwa weighed the Jade Talisman in her hand, her phoenix eyes swirling with reflection.

The Tongtian Sect Leader had finally realized that his nominal disciples were a big problem and were the main culprits of the Dao Immortal Tribulation.

‘I hope my fellow Daoist will make decisive decisions.

I cannot help the Chan Teaching too much.’

Nüwa rose from her throne, her soft and comfortable skirt enveloped by immortal light, naturally transforming into an exquisite, finely tailored dress.

She broke through the universe and descended upon Mount East Kunlun, evidently to speak to Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun about bringing Li Ping’an to meet Taiqing.

The bells in Jade Void Palace chimed incessantly, a large group of disciples went out to greet her, and Yuanshi Tianzun himself waited outside the palace, greeting Nüwa with a smile.

Nüwa’s personal visit was already giving great face to Yuanshi Tianzun;

When she mentioned bringing Li Ping’an to see Taiqing Laozi, far from displeasure, Yuanshi Tianzun also gave several reminders, advising Li Ping’an to show respect and follow protocol, so as not to offend Taiqing Laozi.

Nüwa stayed in Jade Void Palace for a short while, and before leaving, she seemed to remember something and said to Yuanshi Tianzun:

“Elder Brother Yuanshi, the Western Sect has repeatedly troubled the new Heavenly Court.

Don’t they have some scheme for this world?”

Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard with a smile: “The Western Sect’s ambition has always been the grand prosperity of the West; they want to convert myriad beings to join the West.”

Nüwa sighed: “Those two leaders of the Western Sect, relying on the protection of their master, are running wild between heaven and earth.”

“Their master shares past affection with our teacher, making it difficult to confront them directly.”

Yuanshi Tianzun spoke earnestly:

“Sister Nüwa, you need not worry.

If the Western Sect dares to act in a way that upsets the order of the cosmos, they will become the enemies of the Taoist Sect!

“Ping’an becoming the Heavenly Emperor is a certainty; no one else should cause chaos.”

“What Elder Brother says is very true.

I shall now return to prepare.”

Nüwa bowed slightly and then rode the clouds away.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded with a smile, standing with his hands behind him at the entrance of the palace, then gradually dissipated with the wind.

The disciples of the Chan Teaching looked at each other.

Some Immortals understood the conversation between Nüwa and Yuanshi Tianzun, pondering how to demonstrate goodwill to the new Heavenly Emperor;

While some Immortals were somewhat baffled…

Had Huanglong, the junior Brother, really taken the right approach by shamelessly drawing close before?

…

Nüwa returned to the Holy Mother Palace and pulled Li Ping’an out of his sweet condition.

Li Ping’an could only part from Ningning Mu with reluctance, only to be together again after Ningning Mu completed her Dao Body transformation…probably.

“Your Highness, have you spoken to my Great-Grand Master?”

“I have,” Nüwa said with a smile, “and I also obtained your Great-Grand Master’s promise that if the Western Sect goes too far, he himself will punish those two Sect Leaders of the Western Sect.”

Li Ping’an blinked.

How would they be punished?

“Since I am the one taking you to see the Taiqing Master, you must listen to my arrangements,” Nüwa clapped her hands, “Come, dress the Heavenly Emperor.”

All the maids responded in unison: “Yes.”

Then, celestial music sounded from outside the hall, as beautiful celestial maidens carrying trays paraded in one by one.

Li Ping’an felt somewhat embarrassed, but with the Holy Mother’s decree, he had no choice but to comply.

After all, he was mixing with Nüwa, the Holy Mother.

Two maids stepped forward to remove his Daoist Robe, and others brought several sets of luxurious robes, trying them on Li Ping’an one by one.

Nüwa left her throne, arms crossed, standing aside, occasionally shaking or nodding her head, uttering sounds of admiration.

Though somewhat disrespectful;

Li Ping’an did recall the times when he was a child, being dragged by his mother to go shopping.

Nüwa said with a smile: “You really have a good appearance; how come I never managed to mold a handsome face back then?”

Li Ping’an blinked.

Were all the beings of the Primordial Human Race unsightly?

“Wear the golden robe…

but the golden robe is too dazzling.

Let’s change to the white robe instead.”

“Let’s not do the White Robe!” Li Ping’an hurriedly said, “Your Highness, I don’t really like white robes?”

“Why?

Others can’t pull off a white robe, and you actually look quite decent in it.

Let’s try on the purple robe then.”

Nüwa held her right hand to her chin and the left across her chest, carefully considering Li Ping’an’s options.

After settling on the outer robe, they discussed the matching of boots and belt, and also took great care to select a proper crown…

After two hours of such ordeal, Li Ping’an nearly knelt before Nüwa.

This was far more exhausting than fighting demons and scheming!

At last, Nüwa nodded in satisfaction and, with a wave of her hand, produced a crystal mirror for Li Ping’an to examine himself.
