838: Chapter 293 Dazhi’s Clever Trick_2 838: Chapter 293 Dazhi’s Clever Trick_2 “Damn it, these demons are no joke, just pulling a move like that, hurling chunks of heaven and earth to crush mortals!

My blood pressure is through the roof!”

Elder Tianli also exclaimed angrily, “Dammit!

I really want to head to the Western Continent and fight them!”

“Senior, don’t rush,” Li Ping’an sighed.

He had regained his strength and stood up to look below.

The ministers of the Human Emperor had returned to the secret realm of Xuanyuan Palace, ready to rush to the Western Continent.

Normally, Xuanyuan Huangdi would come over to vent, but today, he too had hurriedly left, seemingly on an inspection trip to the southern part of the Western Continent.

Li Ping’an felt quite frustrated.

The feeling of someone throwing a brick at you and having no way to retaliate was really stifling his spiritual resolve.

But sabotaging others was not his strength, so he spoke up directly:

“Dad, think of a plan to deal with the Western Sect.

If they keep wreaking havoc unchecked, things will only escalate.”

“Alright, I’ll think about it.”

Li Dazhi cursed:

“At the very least, make them pay!

I want them to compensate for the lost Spirit Stones!”

Elder Tianli threw cold water on the idea, frowning and saying, “Save it, if the Western Sect were so easy to handle, would our Human Race have been struggling for so long?”

In the midst of speaking, Fenghou came forward with several elder ministers of the Human Emperor to greet them.

Li Ping’an stepped forward with a salute.

The elder ministers performed their duties, and Li Ping’an offered his respects as a junior as they exchanged greetings.

Fenghou asked formally, “Might I have a word with His Majesty in private?”

“How could you not,” Li Ping’an gestured for him to proceed.

Fenghou traveled a hundred li away with Li Ping’an on a cloud, set up several layers of Dao Charm, and summoned the Eight Trigrams plate.

“Heavenly Dao merit is truly a wonderful thing.”

Fenghou praised:

“Though using Heavenly Dao merit excessively to enhance oneself carries the risk of being controlled by the Heavenly Dao, utilizing it to improve the quality of Spiritual Treasures has proven to be quite effective.

“Li Ping’an, the path you are currently on seems to be the right one, the Heavenly Dao is becoming more stable.”

Li Ping’an asked, “Does Minister Feng have any advice for me?”

“Um,” Fenghou sighed, “His Majesty is currently heartbroken, and I’m not sure how to console him.”

Li Ping’an replied, “Things have been a bit rough lately, no wonder His Majesty is feeling down.”

“It’s not quite the same, our Human Race has been struggling for seventy to eighty thousand years.”

Fenghou slowly exhaled:

“Recently, however, we have seen a glimmer of hope, and that is thanks to you and your father.

The situation for our Human Race has become much smoother than before.

“Before, it was always His Majesty struggling to keep things together, and sometimes we even had to resort to deception to deter the Demon Race and the Western Sect.

“Why haven’t we been able to retreat from the Western Continent?

“A big part of the reason is the fear that the enemy would take advantage and surge forward…

You must have realized recently how troublesome the Sect Hierarch and disciples of the Western Sect can be.

The incidents of today and the recent theft of Chiyou’s Demonic Body likely originate from them.”

Li Ping’an asked, “Calamity Elder?”

“Correct, it’s him, this troublesome second disciple of Jie Yin has caused us countless losses since ancient times.”

Fenghou continued:

“Today is not about discussing him.

“Regarding His Majesty, if you have time, go and visit, chat with His Majesty to relieve his worries.

“You are the prospective Heavenly Emperor, and His Majesty will seriously consider what you say.”

Li Ping’an, puzzled, asked, “What exactly happened?”

Fenghou then briefly explained the divinations he had taken over the past few days and the incident of Xuanyuan Huangdi being rebuffed at Chan Teaching.

“It seems His Majesty had a big quarrel with Guang Chengzi.”

Fenghou slightly shook his head with a sense of helplessness and said:

“I’m not sure what exactly they argued about, probably something about whether Chan Teaching would support the Human Race.”

Li Ping’an asked, “Did Chan Teaching explicitly refuse?”

“I don’t know, His Majesty didn’t say much when he returned, just ordered to hold off on deploying troops.”

Fenghou patted Li Ping’an’s arm and continued:

“His Majesty is now eager to eliminate the ancient demons of the Western Continent, the main reason being to create a truly prosperous era free from worries and constraints, allowing the Human Race to develop peacefully.

“It’s both paving the way for the Heavenly Court and fulfilling His Majesty’s longstanding wish.

“His Majesty said…

his era has been too long, and it’s time for a new era.

He’s considering going to the Fire Dragon Cave.”

Li Ping’an nodded slightly and said earnestly, “I’ll handle the matters here and then visit Xuanyuan Palace.”

“Thank you for your efforts.”

Fenghou bowed his head slightly in thanks.

Li Ping’an quickly said, “Minister Feng, you are too polite.”

Fenghou left with a heavy heart.

Li Dazhi placed his hands in his sleeves and drifted next to Li Ping’an.

The father and son whispered to each other, clearly plotting how to trap the Western Sect.

“We are too passive right now.”

Li Dazhi whispered:

“I actually had a vague idea before…

Ping’an, what do you think about setting up a karma rankings list for the Great Sects?”

Li Ping’an leaned back, “What list?”

“Let the Heavenly Dao tally up the karma, merit, and offerings of the Three Teachings of the Daoist Sect and the Western Sect, then pull up a leaderboard to publish.”

Li Dazhi murmured:

“If we want to take on the Western Sect, we need a point of leverage, some kind of pretext.

“Regardless, let’s start with a leaderboard to boost the influence of the Heavenly Dao and put some pressure on the Western Sect before plotting further.”

Li Ping’an pondered for a moment and asked, “Dad, are you sure about this leaderboard?

Won’t Jie Sect end up last?”

“If Jie Sect is last, then it’s last; who told them to have all immortals attending?”

Li Dazhi said earnestly:

“There’s reasoning behind it.

“Here’s the plan, I’ll draft a charter on this end; you go attend to urgent matters, and when you return, we’ll discuss it in detail.”
