Chapter 772 - 772 270 The Yellow Emperor's Hidden Worries

772: Chapter 270 The Yellow Emperor’s Hidden Worries 772: Chapter 270 The Yellow Emperor’s Hidden Worries Li Ping’an was meditating on the scabbard, and it seemed as if there was some kind of response, he glanced in the direction of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth.

The Heavenly Dao did not reveal what had happened there.

Seated on the front end of the scabbard, Xuanyuan Huangdi turned his head and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing, I just feel a little uneasy.”

Li Ping’an said softly:

“If something were to happen there, could we go back directly?”

“Of course we could, otherwise why would I dare to roam about?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi said in a gentle voice:

“Relax, Xuanyuan Palace has an ancient transmigration array set up since the ancient times, which can summon you and me back at any time.

Don’t worry about those responsibilities that are imposed on you as an emperor.”

“The world is so vast, you and I should travel and enjoy it together…ahem, just travel together.”

Li Ping’an: I always feel like the Human Emperor is intentionally implying something.

Not far away, Immortal Huanglong stretched lazily and yawned as he slowly woke from the after-effects of the Immortal Brew.

He realized he was on the road to the ancient land of the Dragon Clan and was jolted alert.

“Eh?

Wasn’t this poor Daoist just drinking?”

The expression of Immortal Huanglong changed from a slight frown to immense regret, his face turned sorrowful, he beat his chest incessantly, nearly breaking down into sobs…

“Uncle Master?” Li Ping’an frowned and said, “It was just some Heavenly Dao merits, there’s no need to be like this, you can earn more by planning for the Heavenly Court later.”

Immortal Huanglong sighed: “Indeed!

Alas!

This poor Daoist thought of swindling the treasures infused with Heavenly Dao merits from them, but I never expected to be swindled instead!

My mind is just not as sharp after drinking!”

Xuanyuan Huangdi was surprised and said, “I’ve been wanting to ask, can we actually dish out Heavenly Dao merits now?

Has the Heavenly Court not been established yet?”

Li Ping’an said: “I can refine the incense merits into Heavenly Dao merits.”

“It can be done like that?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi maintained his seated posture and turned around, “Can Heavenly Dao merits help beings prolong their life?”

“They should be able to,” Li Ping’an said seriously, “Heavenly Dao merits indeed have the effect of extending and benefiting life.

Are you worried about your three thousand beloved concubines?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed: “Not every being can become immortal, even with all the support I could provide, reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm is already very difficult…

Alas, this issue truly isn’t easy to solve.”

“Why force it?”

From Li Ping’an’s sleeve came the muttering voice of Guilingling:

“Beings passing on is a natural law of the world, forcing against it will surely not lead to good outcomes.

“Many cultivators lack the ability to breakthrough to immortality and naturally fade away when their time comes.

If the world suddenly had thousands more Golden Immortals, the world itself could not bear it.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi teased: “Isn’t the doctrine of your Jie Sect to seize a glimmer of life for beings?”

“Yes, it is.”

Guilingling flew out from the sleeve, morphing into the shape of an Innate Dao Body, stretched lazily and sat beside Li Ping’an, whispering:

“But that’s about seizing life for beings who could live but are unable to, not about forcibly prolonging the life of beings.

“Cousin, you could have advanced further on the path of cultivation, but now, your essence of longevity is severely depleted.

If you overdraw it any further, you might start to show signs of old age.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi gave a wry smile and did not further engage in the conversation.

To avoid an awkward silence, Li Ping’an asked softly, “What is the essence of longevity?”

“Just vital energy.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed softly:

“When I can no longer hold on, I will let them go…

After all, I am a man.

Watching my beloved partners pass away one by one is indeed too painful.”

Immortal Huanglong spoke seriously: “The problem is the low starting point of the Human Race.

Human Emperor, please try to see it differently.

Though the Human Race is favored by the Heavenly Dao, it is also limited by it.

Every bit of food and drink is predestined.

Take the Dragon Clan for example, even though they have long lifespans, their reproduction is extremely difficult.”

Li Ping’an asked: “Uncle Master, have you returned to the ancient Dragon realm?”

“I have returned,” Huanglong said with a smirk, “but I just secretly went back to have a look.

The ancient Dragon realm is actually a boat.”

Guilingling was also somewhat surprised: “A boat?”

“Yes, a boat made from heaven and earth.”

Immortal Huanglong spoke calmly:

“The Dragon and Phoenix Clans are not beings from the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth; they are strong races that have very few bloodline memories.

Before Pangu’s Creation of Heaven and Earth, during the great battle against the three thousand Innate Gods and Demons, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans were Pangu God’s generals, which is the main reason why they dominated the world in the primordial era when other Primordial Beings were still cultivating.

“Unfortunately, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans were instigated into a great battle, leading to the once mighty clans both falling.

The primordial Pangu Continent also shattered into the main Heaven and Earth and many smaller worlds.

“The Dragon Clan being abandoned by the Heavenly Dao is not without reason.”

“The Heavenly Dao is still full of mysteries.”

Xuanyuan Huangdi said:

“Ping’an, this is something you must understand…

When did the Heavenly Dao actually come into existence?

“In ancient times, there were fewer sentient beings compared to the ancient and current times.

Logically, the Heavenly Dao should not exist.

Yet, there still is an indescribable force, or perhaps will, in the world.

“The best proof is the Dragon Clan being repelled by the world, unable to reproduce, with all the dragon eggs accumulated over tens of thousands of years perishing.”

Guilingling blinked: “This, I have heard from my master before.”

“What has been said?”

“The Heavenly Dao is not continuous,” Guilingling said, “It seems that there are gaps in the Heavenly Dao during different eras, and yet the Heavenly Dao itself encompasses the River of Time.”

Li Ping’an was somewhat confused on the side.

He looked at his Spirit Platform, at the Golden Cloud, Lingxiao Palace, Xuantian Tower…

The Heavenly Dao has started to integrate my and my father’s thoughts, hasn’t it?

The Heavenly Dao is not continuous?

“The Heavenly Dao has no inherent nature,” Li Ping’an murmured, “It seems my understanding of the Heavenly Dao is still far from sufficient.”
