Chapter 791 - 791 276 The Grand Assembly Approaches the Master of Houtu_2

791: Chapter 276: The Grand Assembly Approaches, the Master of Houtu_2 791: Chapter 276: The Grand Assembly Approaches, the Master of Houtu_2 And it was Guang Chengzi’s identity as a well-known disciple that was sensitive.

He analyzed quietly in his heart:

‘Is it because of the Misty Realm matter, I didn’t seek help from Chan Teaching, so Chan Teaching has started to make moves?’

‘Although I do not know how Queen Mother did it, there might be some calculations by that Taoist Hongjun behind the scenes, but this Queen Mother is indeed a being with a high ranking in the Heavenly Dao, and her current situation is similar to mine, both of us have vaguely left our marks on the Heavenly Dao sequence, yet to stand firm, which means there are certain variables.’

‘If she is a Heavenly Empress recognized by Heavenly Dao, how can I take her position away from her?’

‘Or maybe, the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress, the two rulers of Heavenly Court who are in the top two positions of the Heavenly Dao sequence, do not have to marry?

Govern separately?

But wouldn’t that be adding restrictions to myself for no reason?’

Li Ping’an frowned and pondered deeply.

The most considered matter here wasn’t about the pleasures of the flesh but the interests of himself and those around him.

How to modify the Heavenly Dao sequence;

Whether the mysterious teacher behind Queen Mother would take action;

How to prevent myself from being fettered.

If there was a chance to retreat unscathed, Li Ping’an would be willing to take it.

But from the moment Wanyun Sect was attacked, he had no way back; he could only move forward.

A misstep could still be corrected because he had the backing of the Three Pure Ones, the support of the Holy Mother and the playful Human Emperor by his side.

But if he retreated, it would be an irreversible catastrophe.

“Stop worrying,”

Xuanyuan Huangdi put a hand on Li Ping’an’s neck and gently shook him.

The Human Emperor smiled and said:

“The games of the Great Sects, the interference of Great Powers, you alone can’t stand against it.

My advice to you is to give Queen Mother a chance, let her incarnation stay by your side for a while.

“That would be giving face to Chan Teaching.

“And this Queen Mother, well, she’s somewhat selfish, but deep down she does have a sense of the larger picture.

Otherwise, she would not have been chosen by the first master of Desolate Era.

“If you have what it takes to make Ningning Mu the Heavenly Empress and can command the respect of the future Female Immortals of Heavenly Court, then I can give you an idea to strip Queen Mother of her title.”

Li Ping’an curiously asked, “What’s the idea?”

“Find the most handsome man of the Human Race to seduce her!”

Xuanyuan Huangdi spread his five fingers and slowly clenched his fist: “Once she loses her virtue, she will lose her influence over the Heavenly Dao!”

Li Ping’an raised his hand to his chin: “I always feel that you just want to enjoy a dramatic and sensational scene, my brother.”

“Do I?

Hahaha!

Ahahaha!”

Xuanyuan Huangdi scratched his head:

“No way, do not misunderstand, I am a proper Human Emperor, ruling over the four seas, protecting the Human Race, full of merit.

“Alright, no more joking with you.

Try to get along with Queen Mother for a while, just forget that Zi Yao is Queen Mother and give her the duties of a female official.

“Although the Holy Mother can give Ningning Mu a backing and a spiritual body, she can’t exert influence over the Heavenly Dao.”

Li Ping’an suddenly caught a detail: “Your Majesty, can that Taoist influence the Heavenly Dao?”

Xuanyuan Huangdi hummed thoughtfully and then seriously said:

“I cannot be sure of that, Taoist Hongjun is too mysterious and unpredictable.

“The battle where Taoist Hongjun slayed Luohou had many extraordinary aspects.

I saw it with my own eyes, which I have told you about before.

“Luohou was greatly shocked by the emergence of a Daoist who could face him head-on and possessed strength greater than his.

“And when Luohou saw the blood-red long spear in the hands of the Daoist, he immediately said—’This, this is supposed to be my treasure, why does it end up in your hands!’

“The great battle between these two Sect Hierarch-level masters was almost a crushing defeat.

Taoist Hongjun swiftly pierced through Luohou’s neck with that spear.

“It was as if Taoist Hongjun had been prepared for that moment for a long time, and Luohou had no chance to fight back, with both his divine skills and treasures being completely countered.”

Li Ping’an leaned back slightly.

The two of them leaned against the pool edge, soaked their feet, and chatted, their voices gradually fading.

“Didn’t that Taoist Hongjun say that he didn’t want to meddle in the many affairs of the world?”

“Yes, but there may be a lot of ins and outs to that.

Think about it, my junior brother, if he truly didn’t want to meddle in the affairs between heaven and earth, would he need to publicly declare it?

Couldn’t he just withdraw and leave?”

“You mean, in fact, this Daoist has been plotting something all along?”

“I can’t see through it, nor can I articulate it clearly.

Before Fuxi Shi Taoist friend went to explore the secrets of the universe in the Chaos Sea, he said a few words to me about Taoist Hongjun.

Fuxi Shi was perplexed why Hongjun did not become one with the Dao (Hedao).

If Hongjun had done so, the Heavenly Dao would have quickly stabilized.

So why, even without Hedao, is it the same for Hongjun?”

“Also like this…”

A crisp young girl’s voice joined the conversation: “Taoist Hongjun is my teacher’s master, and also my grandmaster.

My teacher said that with over a dozen creatures, they had gone to listen to grandmaster’s teachings in the Chaos Sea for several hundred years.”

“I’ve also heard the Holy Mother mention it,” Li Ping’an said, “Among those dozen or so creatures were Emperor Jun, East Emperor Taiyi, and others.”

“Eh?

Why didn’t the Holy Mother tell me?

I knew it, a new son comes and the old son is forgotten, women are always like this.”

“No, don’t let that get out, Your Majesty.

The Holy Mother will be heartbroken.”

“What exactly was the timing of these teachings?”

“I didn’t ask,” Guilingling said, “I’ll just ask my teacher later.”

Li Ping’an asked, “Would the Dragon Clan know any secrets?”

“Would the Dragon Clan dare to offend that Taoist?

Even if those old dragons knew something, they definitely would not say much,” Xuanyuan Huangdi scoffed with a laugh, “Now the Dragon Clan doesn’t even have the courage to plan for a corner of the world, staying far from the strife of the Great Sects, their edge gone, inadequate for plotting.”
