Immortal Father
Chapter 763 - 763 267 The Human Emperor's Adopted Younger Sister

763: Chapter 267 The Human Emperor’s Adopted Younger Sister 763: Chapter 267 The Human Emperor’s Adopted Younger Sister The pure qi gently flows at the place of immortals, Kunlun’s Jade Void is the land where Dao is cultivated.

“Yunzhong, have I disturbed you?”

“I do not know why senior brother has come, please have a seat here.”

Yun Zhongzi welcomed Guang Chengzi into the hall with a smile, his Jade Pendant lightly stirring, and at the windowsill overlooking the sea of clouds appeared a low table, cushions, and two steaming cups of tea.

The two Precept Teaching Immortals took their respective seats as host and guest, straightening the hems of their Daoist Robes as they crossed their legs.

The slightly aged face of Yun Zhongzi hid a sense of integrity and peace, while Guang Chengzi’s middle-aged visage bore a touch more authority.

“Ah,” Guang Chengzi sighed lightly, his eyes filled with concern, “Junior Brother Huanglong has sent news about the Heavenly Emperor’s campaign against the Misty Realm.”

Yun Zhongzi asked, “Has the campaign encountered trouble?”

The campaign of the Heavenly Emperor is all too smooth, but it’s exactly because it’s too smooth.”

Guang Chengzi shook his head with a wry smile:

“You and I know that the Heavenly Court’s establishment faced numerous hardships, and to campaign against the Three Thousand Worlds, cutting off the schemes of the Western Sect and averting the Human Race’s crisis of tomorrow…

“They chose the Misty Realm as the first stop, with Ping’an taking Guiling ahead to scout the Misty Realm…

But who would have expected that the Misty Realm would be where the Western Sect nurtured its fiends and cultivated Dao Soldiers, and the place where Daoxian Qia Feng, who once ambushed the Wanyun Sect, resided.”

“In his impatience, Ping’an went as far as to directly invite the Leader of the Chan Teachings, bringing over a dozen Dao friends of the Sect entangled with karmic obstacles, annihilating Qia Feng and exterminating the fiends.”

“Oh?”

Yun Zhongzi said with a smile, “Ping’an was actually able to directly invite the Precept Leader himself.”

“How is this a laughing matter?”

Guang Chengzi said helplessly:

“Within the Sect, there are thousands of disciples and as many mortal immortals, harboring all manner of sins and ancient karmic fiends!

“By asking them to take action, Ping’an is now indebted to the Sect.

“If the new Heavenly Court shelters the many fiends within the Sect, won’t it be planting hidden dangers within the Three Realms?

Even Ping’an himself may become implicated!”

Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard, murmuring, “Ping’an has always acted methodically, there must be considerations in play here.”

Guang Chengzi sighed, “After all, Ping’an is young.

Seeing an enemy, he is eager for revenge, which is natural for anyone.

However, Ping’an has said that he will definitely ask these Precept Teaching Immortals to take action again next time.”

“Is that so?”

Yun Zhongzi said with a smile, shaking his head, “All things here have their causes and effects.”

Guang Chengzi asked, “What kind of cause and effect?”

“The Witch Clan was in trouble, the Chan Teachings collected many Innate virtues but slayed too few of the Western Sect’s fiends.”

Yun Zhongzi sighed:

“Although Ping’an did not show dissatisfaction, his expression carried much confusion, and he did not seem entirely content.

“Although the Sect has many immortals burdened with karmic obstacles, it also has many who are chivalrous.

It’s natural for young people to be drawn to that; hence, it was common sentiment.

“The Heavenly Court has means to dissolve karmic obstacles, so this can be considered mutually beneficial.”

“We need not worry excessively.”

Guang Chengzi frowned and said:

“With the Dao Immortal Tribulation ahead and ten thousand immortals of the Sect coming to court, my disciples from the Chan Teachings can match them.

But counting all the disciples up to the third and fourth generation, there are a total of three hundred and eighty-two immortals.

“If the Sect uses Ping’an to cleanse their karmic obstacles, not being targeted by the Heavenly Dao anymore, and their fortune changes from negative to positive, how would our Chan Teachings cope?

“The Dao Immortal Tribulation stems from The Great Dao, originating from the Heavenly Dao.

It’s the inevitable calamity when beings control too much of The Great Dao!”

“This…”

Yun Zhongzi pondered deeply.

Guang Chengzi sighed, “The leader has charged me with overseeing the Chan Teaching’s affairs, I must take this matter to heart.

Is there any way to maintain some distance between Ping’an and the Sect?”

“As the Heavenly Emperor, Ping’an is under considerable pressure as well.”

Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard in thought:

“The Sect has sent Dao friend Guiling to stay by his side, and we also have junior brother Huanglong constantly accompanying him, logically the influence of both teachings should cancel each other out.

“Junior Brother Huanglong is also a man, naturally closer to Ping’an.”

Guang Chengzi showed a dawning realization: “So that’s how it is.”

“Oh?” Yun Zhongzi asked, puzzled, “What is it?”

“Ping’an is young, and the Human Race is fond of procreation, just like my disciple,” Guang Chengzi said with a smile and a shake of his head, “So that’s it.

It’s understandable that Ping’an leans toward the Sect for this reason.”

Yun Zhongzi said uncertainly, “Why do I find it hard to follow what you’re saying?”

Guang Chengzi laughed, “It’s just the matter of yin and yang balancing each other out!”

Yun Zhongzi gave a sheepish laugh, “That’s definitely not the case!

Ping’an is married!”

“Yes, of our great disciples in the Chan Teachings, only Junior Sister Cihang is a woman, and Cihang is of a mild and subdued nature.”

Guang Chengzi also found himself in a quandary and fell into thought on his own.

Yun Zhongzi could only shake his head, not knowing what to say to enlighten Guang Chengzi.

Suddenly, a beam of rainbow light flew through the clouds, swirling around a small Jade Pendant.

Although it was blocked outside the grand formation of the Jade Void Palace, it still managed to send a whispering voice into Guang Chengzi’s ear.

Guang Chengzi looked slightly startled, glanced at Yun Zhongzi’s resigned face, and reached out to grab it.

The Jade Pendant fell into Guang Chengzi’s palm, emanating a faint immortal light.

Guang Chengzi murmured, “The Queen Mother?”

“Hmm?”

“It’s nothing,” Guang Chengzi stood up to take his leave, “As Ping’an’s teacher, you should still remind him more often to avoid associating with beings encumbered with karmic obstacles, lest the Heavenly Emperor’s reputation suffers.

I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now.”

Yun Zhongzi smiled and acknowledged him, escorting Guang Chengzi out of the hall.

Watching Guang Chengzi transform into a beam of light and leave the Jade Void Palace, Yun Zhongzi couldn’t help shaking his head.

‘Ping’an is clever indeed, understanding that he cannot rely solely on one Great Sect, or else he would be easily controlled by it.’

Yun Zhongzi chuckled softly.

He had, of course, feigned ignorance to some extent earlier.

However, he would adhere to Guang Chengzi’s advice and send a letter to Li Ping’an, subtly expressing the Chan Teaching’s displeasure.

The immortals of the Great Sects surely understand the dealings here; Guang Chengzi mentioning the balancing of yin and yang was nothing more than seeking an excuse to smooth things over.
