Immortal Father
Chapter 846 - 846 296 To Spirit Mountain

846: Chapter 296: To Spirit Mountain 846: Chapter 296: To Spirit Mountain “What are you doing going to Mount Ling?

Have you lost your mind, throwing yourself into the lion’s den?”

Li Dazhi stared at the almost-Heavenly Emperor, his eyes filled with urgency.

He didn’t want his son to worry, so he initially did not want to tell Li Ping’an about the plan to “snatch incense and attack fate”;

but at this moment, in order to reassure Li Ping’an, Li Dazhi hesitated slightly and quickly shared his thoughts.

Li Ping’an seemed to have been struck by a spell of silence, sitting there without speaking for a long time.

He asked, “Setting up a new sect is fine, but what if the two leaders of the Western Sect retaliate?

The Western Sect is not inanimate, they will definitely respond.”

“Just deal with it as it comes.”

Li Dazhi muttered,

“Destroying the Western Sect’s Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus would also be beneficial for the Taoist Sect, the Heavenly Dao doesn’t need to control all of The Great Dao, achieving a certain proportion is sufficient.

“There are also many fierce demons under the Western Sect, although many of them have high combat power but low Dao Realm, eliminating them would also reduce the calamity of the Dao Immortal Tribulation, the leaders of the Taoist Sect should not sit idly by.

“Isn’t this better than going to Mount Ling?”

Li Ping’an laughed and said, “My going to Mount Ling serves three purposes: to show force, to gather intelligence, and to exert pressure.

If the Tongtian Shishuzu does not agree, I cannot go either.”

Li Dazhi clamored, “Then I’ll go too.”

“Dad!

What are you going for?”

Li Ping’an stuffed his hands into his sleeves, leaning against the edge of the table, he whispered,

“I’m thinking of finding those disciples of Jie Yin, figuring out a way to mark them with the sign of Heavenly Dao, so if they ever come near me in the future, I can sense them directly.

“Moreover, I established the Great Vow Method, which was inspired by the Western Sect.

Shouldn’t I go there to express my gratitude?

“We can’t let them keep frustrating us, right?”

“That doesn’t have any practical significance; it won’t hurt them.”

Li Dazhi still said,

“In my opinion, you should focus on developing the Misty Realm methodically.

Have Xuanyuan Huangdi take the forefront in any matter; he’s quite capable of handling it, having lasted seventy to eighty thousand years, he wouldn’t mind several decades or centuries more.

“Your own strength hasn’t grown enough, and your Dao Realm is still only at the level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

“Directly targeting their main base sounds unreliable no matter how you think about it.”

Li Ping’an sighed deeply and began to slowly persuade his father.

After a while, seeing that Li Ping’an was set on his decision, Li Dazhi could only nod in agreement and started to instruct Li Ping’an with a thousand cautions and ten thousand concerns.

The old are indeed no match for the zeal of the young.

The father and son’s respective plans began to progress in tandem.

Li Dazhi’s plan was named ‘Thunderclap,’ attempting to topple the Western Sect starting with their ‘incense merit.’

Li Ping’an planned to directly use the Jie Sect to pressure the Western Sect, making them act cautiously.

If the Tongtian Sect Leader agreed to accompany him to Mount Ling, it signified that the Human Race and the Jie Sect, these two significant forces, could temporarily unite under Li Ping’an’s coordination.

Human Race, together with the Jie Sect, fighting against the Western Sect and the ancient Hundred Clans, would silence them completely.

This strategy would also have some negative implications.

—Li Ping’an estimated that if this trip to Mount Ling were to materialize, it would prompt the Western Sect to closely ally themselves with the Sea of Blood Asura clan.

But these negative impacts, compared to ‘making the Western Sect hesitant to plot recklessly,’ seemed trivial.

Moreover, Li Ping’an also had his personal motivations.

To find Xingtian.

If Xingtian was hidden in the Western Continent, Li Ping’an’s future search in other regions would not be too difficult, except for the challenge of the spiritual mountain of the Western Sect.

If he could enter Mount Ling, he could use the power of Heavenly Dao to locate Xingtian.

Trying multiple approaches was always good.

Li Ping’an was not in a hurry to head to the Azure Wander Palace.

He took out several blank Jade Talismans, began to anticipate the difficulties he might face upon entering Mount Ling, and prepared the necessary responses.

Besides, he needed to make some preliminary preparations.

How to minimize Chan Teaching’s reaction, how to catch the Western Sect off-guard.

These all tested his strategic abilities.

‘Should I report the matter of my father’s planning to Taiqing?’

Li Ping’an pondered slightly, his body transformed into a mist and slipped into the increasingly vast underground palace complex.

Great matters of heaven and earth, respect in rituals.

The incense of the Three Pure Ones must not be neglected.

…

The next morning.

Li Ping’an invited Immortal Huanglong to have tea and snacks together.

The two discussed recent events, cursing the audacious person who dared to use the ancient fragments of heaven and earth to strike the dwellings of mortals in the East Continent and Western Continent, called the Calamity Revered One.

As their conversation deepened, Li Ping’an bowed to Immortal Huanglong and said solemnly,

“Shishu, although we haven’t known each other for long, our friendship is solid enough, so I won’t hide anything from you.

“Today I have a favor to ask, there are some calculations involved, which might put you in a difficult position.”

“Oh?” Immortal Huanglong stroked his beard and smiled, “This is the first time someone has told me about their schemes beforehand, Ping’an treats me with true sincerity indeed!”

Li Ping’an:…

A sudden increase in guilt.

Li Ping’an sighed, “Shishu also knows, I had a heavy drinking session the day before yesterday, right there in Xuanyuan Palace.”

“Yes, Taiyi Shidi previously sent me a message asking about your reaction to this matter.”

Immortal Huanglong sighed,

“It seems that Xuanyuan Huangdi went to the Jade Void Palace to seek our eldest brother.

Xuanyuan Huangdi spoke very politely and gently, essentially requesting that Chan Teaching not support the Western Sect in the upcoming assaults of the Human Race.

“Xuanyuan Huangdi’s words were earnest, stating he was struggling to cope and wished to fulfill the responsibility of the Human Emperor and support the new Heavenly Emperor’s rise.

“But our brother Guang Chengzi remained silent for a long time, eventually suggesting to not lightly start a war, that Humanity should strive for prosperity and abandon hatred.”
