743: Chapter 259: The Emperor Arrives Amidst the Misty Skies to Observe Tian Hu_2 743: Chapter 259: The Emperor Arrives Amidst the Misty Skies to Observe Tian Hu_2 “Ah,” Li Ping’an casually drew a few spirit stones towards himself, pondering how to improve the core of the immortal armor, as he absently responded, “She must have gotten over it by now.”

Xuntian Xu laughed and said, “Ping’an, you better think it through.

There will be more and more experts surrounding you in the future, everyone will flatter you, speaking well of you, but 99 percent of them are after the power in your hands and your control over the Heavenly Dao.

The number of women who are truly attracted to you because you are handsome and have a good temperament, that’s truly rare!”

Li Ping’an found himself both amused and frustrated, “Isn’t that a bit elegant, the way Brother Xu describes lusting after someone?”

“Yingying isn’t bad either.”

Xuntian Xu counted off on his fingers:

“Her looks can’t be faulted, right?

Her figure is also pretty good, right?

What’s more precious is her exceptional ability, and she’s great at gathering information and doing business!”

“Think about it, if Heavenly Square Pavilion weren’t run by one of your own, could you rest easy?”

“Yingying’s mother has always been advising Yingying not to think about you, she said before that you the Heavenly Emperor are too charming, in the future you might even manage to win the favor of ancient Great Power and Great Divine Communicator females.

Yingying has no advantage, even if she had a fling with you, she would be forgotten by you.”

“What do you think Yingying said?”

Li Ping’an wondered, “Wait, Brother Xu, did you take Sovereign Xuntian’s spirit stones?”

“What kind of question is that!

Have you ever seen a master at artifact refining who lacks spirit stones?”

Xuntian Xu clicked his tongue:

“I see Yingying has become much thinner, working hard every day cultivating and toiling away, Mo Big Brother is really a bit heartbroken.”

“Why don’t you try spending some time with her?

Just to do me, Mo Wentian, a little favor!”

Li Ping’an shook his head, “This matter of affection is the most grinding.

Rather than being troubled by it, it’s better to cut it short.

I already have a wife, how could I dally with others?

If you really want to help her, better to convince her to let go of this thought.

Her mother understands these things.”

“Alright, I guess I’ve tried to help.”

Xuntian Xu shook his head and after rummaging in his sleeve for a while, he threw a folding fan to Li Ping’an.

“The one you asked me about last time, I’ve made it.”

“Oh?”

Li Ping’an’s eyes brightened as he took the folding fan and examined it carefully.

The ancient Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Manifestation Chart had provided its assessment:

[Top-tier Immortal Treasure, astonishing material, likely to develop its own consciousness.]

Its main function was protection; it could shield against fire, water, poison, and insects.

Moreover, it contained clever mechanisms; the fan rib could shoot poisoned needles, and the fan surface could emit toxic mist, indeed an excellent possession for home defense or to carry when out and about.

“Not bad, not bad,” Li Ping’an said, waving the folding fan to create a slight breeze, “Thank you.”

Xuntian Xu laughed and said, “You, the mighty Heavenly Emperor, actually need to carry such a poisonous Immortal Treasure.”

“The Heavenly Emperor is also just at the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”

Li Ping’an, fluttering the folding fan, departed gracefully, calling out before he left:

“If I could suppress all the enemies in this world, I wouldn’t need such an item for self-protection.”

“Unfortunately, the road is long!”

The road is long?

Xuntian Xu quietly chuckled, picked up the jade talisman next to him, and said to the talisman:

“I’ve done what I could to help you, Mo Big Brother has no other choice.”

“Ping’an isn’t so easily swayed by others; you have spent too little time with him.”

“Why not ask your mother to arrange a task for you?

One that would allow you to serve close to the Heavenly Emperor.”

Having said that, Xuntian Xu closed the jade talisman, rubbed his neck, shook his head, put the talisman into his sleeve, and walked to another exit that connected to the subterranean passage leading to the Heavenly Emperor’s temple.

Li Ping’an who was floating towards the surface slightly raised an eyebrow, but didn’t say anything more.

In the courtyard, Qing Su, Luo Xuejing, Immortal Huanglong, Mother Gui Ling, Wang Shan, along with his four trusted aides, stood waiting quietly.

Li Ping’an handed the matter of deploying troops to Wang Shan and Immortal Huanglong, while asking Mother Gui Ling to guard his body, his master to accompany him, Luo Xuejing to be in charge of coordination, and the four trusted aides to go ahead secretly to the Misty Realm.

With Wang Shan by his side to ‘guide’ Immortal Huanglong, Li Ping’an was not too worried.

At the very least, with Wang Shan’s magic artifacts for identifying directions, Immortal Huanglong would not get lost outside the realm when transporting troops.

Before departing, Li Ping’an secretly glanced at his dedicated guards who were diligently cultivating, feeling a touch of sadness.

He, the great Heavenly Emperor, had only three personal guards, and of them, only one had become an immortal.

Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng was not far from ascending to immortality, and Yu Yingshu, the body cultivator, was also trying his utmost.

As for Centurion Fu Yu, whom Li Ping’an had asked his father about before, there was still no news.

After half a day.

A nimble turtle shell passed by the East Pillar from the East Sea, stealthily left the main realm of the Desolate Era, circled halfway outside the realm, and rushed towards the northwest.

Li Ping’an sat on the turtle shell, looking back at the main realm of the Desolate Era, which had gradually turned into a ‘bonsai’, feeling a surge of emotions.

Qing Su said, “Disciple, if there’s going to be a battle later, try to stay at the back.

Immortal Luo and I will fight.”

Luo Xuejing quickly interjected, “Immortal Qing Su can just call me by my name.

I’m already quite old, my daughter is at the Heavenly Immortal Realm, I can’t dare to be called a fairy anymore.”

The brothers Xing He and Xinghan exchanged a glance.

This white-skinned, gracefully figured female Golden Immortal, calling herself quite old…

Feng Zhansiang said, “Please allow us to earn our battle merits, Your Majesty, by giving us the opportunity to fight our enemies.”

Feng Tingzhu gave a slight nod at the side.

Li Ping’an spoke solemnly,

“Zhansiang possesses military leadership talent, and I have also intended to cultivate you in this direction.

If there is a chance to take action later, you may make your own judgment.

“However, remember that our advance this time is merely for reconnaissance, and we must not startle the grass and scare away the snake.

“If you do act, you must not leave any traces or cause any future troubles.

Otherwise, just be patient for a while and speak of these matters after the main forces have surrounded this realm’s strategic locations.”

“Yes!”

Seated at the forefront, Mother Gui Ling asked in a crisp voice, “What about me?

What about me?”

“If a Taiyi or a Da Luo confronts us, you can take action at will, Martial Uncle.”

Li Ping’an said with a smile,

“If we can eliminate a Great One Golden Immortal or even a Da Luo Golden Immortal in this small place, then it would be worth it even if some fierce demons escape.”

“Alright!

Then that’s settled!”

Mother Gui Ling instantly straightened her small frame.

She had the Immortal Sword tucked in her sleeves, and a small sharp knife in her hand.

Should she encounter an enemy too strong to fight, she’d just prick her fingertip, shout “Master, save me!” and the Tongtian Sect Leader would immediately come to her rescue!

It was all just to make the Heavenly Emperor owe more favors to the Jie Sect, so the Jie Sect could accrue more heavenly virtues and extend the lifespan of their less competent brethren through the great calamity.

Mere small scheming of Mother Gui Ling.

…

Meanwhile,

In the Misty Realm outside the heavens,

At the grand temple of Sky Amber Monastery, behind the splendid palace complex,

Immortal Qia Feng was sitting leisurely on his throne, watching the monks below chant scriptures, his eyes reflecting a distant look.

When did it all start?

He had orchestrated many things, never failing even once, not even when he was an ancient still yet to become a Da Luo Golden Immortal, boasting many glorious achievements.

It all began with the last sneak attack on Wanyun Sect.

He failed to eliminate that Great Fate Holder and instead provoked a minor Heavenly Emperor.

“Alas, Great Fortune…”

Immortal Qia Feng closed his eyes and sighed softly.

To the side, a child asked, “Teacher, are you tired?”

“Let them continue reciting scriptures,” Immortal Qia Feng waved his hand, “Remember to have them keep this a secret.

Nobody can spread the word of their teacher being here.

I want to see if they can get something done.”

“Yes, teacher.”

…

In the main world, the Casting Cloud Sect of the East Continent.

Li Dazhi held three sticks of Qing Su incense, murmuring to himself as he placed the incense into the burner, then moved to the other side of the desk, saying:

“May I borrow.”

His already shining bald head reflected a gleam of light.

By his side, Xiaoyue laughed, “Martial Uncle, with so many experts protecting Ping’an, you’re still so cautious.”

“Protection by experts is one thing; one’s own fortune is another,” Li Dazhi said cheerfully,

“Ping’an has just left on a journey again…

My lady, let’s go rest as well.

We need to work hard to reach the Golden Immortal level.”

“My, it’s still daytime!” Xiaoyue protested with her lips, but her bright eyes already carried a hint of affection.

She gracefully approached Li Dazhi’s side, her slender hand brushing across his neck as she naturally sat in his embrace.

Li Dazhi chuckled heartily, about to indulge in a feast of joy when just as he was undoing the fabric button on that thin skirt, two streaks of light flew into the outer hall of Castcloud Hall.

Xiaoyue hurriedly stood up, instantly transforming from coquettishly charming to modest and graceful, the fabric button sealing itself with the surrounding immortal power.

Li Dazhi cleared his throat and dispelled the room’s barrier, asking in a calmer voice,

“What’s the matter?”

“Sect Leader!” A elder said urgently, “An envoy from the Eastern Alliance has arrived!

They say they have news about the matter you asked the Alliance Hierarch to look into!”

Li Dazhi blinked.

What matter?

“Did the envoy mention what it’s about?”

“It seems to be…

the whereabouts of Centurion Fu Yu.

The envoy brought a letter and must hand it to you personally!”

Li Dazhi scratched his head, winked at Xiaoyue who reluctantly rose to offer her greetings and excused herself.

Li Dazhi rolled up his sleeves and left the inner hall.

“Please invite the envoy inside.

Why bring just a letter and not directly bring the person over?”
