917: Chapter 320 No Time for Dual Cultivation [Vote for Monthly Ticket] 917: Chapter 320 No Time for Dual Cultivation [Vote for Monthly Ticket] Li Ping’an felt as if he hadn’t seen his teacher Yun Zhongzi for a long time.

This teacher was the bond between him and the Chan Teaching, having provided him with much assistance and was also the ‘guide’ on his road to becoming the Heavenly Emperor.

However, after Li Ping’an had many conflicts with the Western Sect, and the Chan Teaching’s stance started to waver, the Immortal of Fortune began to focus on seclusion and seldom sought out his own disciple to avoid putting the disciple in a difficult position.

Now, right after the departure of the Six Great Masters, Yun Zhongzi immediately made an appearance, which must have some implications.

The teacher and disciple rode the clouds languidly, looking over the Misty Realm and the new expanse of heaven and earth that had been relocated.

Li Ping’an, in a green robe and with a Daoist hairpin, had just finished watching the ‘Hongmeng Purple Qi Competition’, images of the Great Dao displayed by the Vast Wilderness’ mighty heroes constantly flashing before his eyes.

Yun Zhongzi, with white beard and white robe, held a flower basket, still exuding the carefree demeanor of a leisurely Immortal.

His basket was filled with various treasures;

Guilingling originally wanted to follow and eavesdrop but was deterred by a red hairpin casually taken out by Yun Zhongzi, which distracted her alert eyes, making her giggle and fly far away.

“Teacher, for you to come suddenly, is there an urgent matter?”

After a simple greeting, Li Ping’an took the initiative to ask.

Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and murmured softly, “It’s nothing urgent.

The Six Great Masters have gone to the Chaos Sea to seek the opportunity to become Saints, and Taoist Hongjun will explain the Great Dao to the Six Great Masters.

In a thousand years, they will return as Saints.”

Li Ping’an blinked.

Should he mention what he had witnessed and heard?

Weeping over Zhunti’s coffin, the enigmatic Immortal; it seemed these were secrets of this world.

After a brief consideration, Li Ping’an decided not to hide too much, and whispered, “Disciple is aware of this matter.

At that time, the disciple was summoned above the Nine Heavens, right before the three Ancestral Masters.”

“Hmm,” Yun Zhongzi smiled, “Your Ancestral Master has told me about these things.”

Li Ping’an’s expression shifted slightly, “Did Ancestral Master have any admonitions?”

“Not so much admonitions.”

Yun Zhongzi sighed softly:

“The Chan Teaching has its difficulties; it is pretentious to elaborate too much on these matters.

Once the Six Great Masters become Saints, the power of the Heavenly Dao will reach its peak, and the retaking of the Great Dao’s authority will become a major concern for the Heavenly Dao.

“Your Ancestral Master speculates that the Daoist Immortal Tribulation should descend into the world after the Six Saints return, overseen by the Heavenly Court.

“There may only be one or two thousand years left.”

The words [only] combined with [one or two thousand years] made Li Ping’an feel a bit ridiculous.

However, this perfectly matched the perception of years held by the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth’s Great Powers.

Yun Zhongzi continued with concern, “Back then, Emperor Jun and East Emperor Taiyi established the Ancient Heavenly Court, preparing for thirty to forty thousand years, and they were the largest forces in the world at that time.

Facing the Four Great Sects, myriad fierce demons, and numerous ancient powers, you now must establish the New Heavenly Court within one or two thousand years; it’s easier said than done.”

Li Ping’an laughed, “Teacher need not worry.

The Four Great Sects are no match for the Heavenly Court.

I have many to rely on here, and the Human Emperor of the Human Race strongly supports us.”

“The more you rely on others, the more constraints you encounter.

How could I, as your teacher, not understand this?”

Yun Zhongzi’s eyes showed a touch of emotion.

He suddenly smiled, “When you and I left the mundane East Continent on cloud-boats, the words you spoke back then still echo in your teacher’s ears.

In the blink of an eye, you have already started down this path.”

Having said this, Yun Zhongzi took a Vajra Turning bead out of his basket and handed it to Li Ping’an.

Without looking deeper, Li Ping’an knew it must be filled with numerous Spiritual Treasures.

It seemed the teacher came specifically to offer treasures.

“Teacher…”

“Take it,” Yun Zhongzi pushed the Vajra Turning bead into Li Ping’an’s hands, “You need to cultivate your own foundation.

The Heavenly Court also requires a batch of officials and generals loyal to the Heavenly Emperor.

These things don’t bring much joy to me once they have been refined.”

Li Ping’an held the Vajra Turning bead, feeling its considerable weight.

Inside were various items such as Immortal Ropes, Immortal Armors, Spears, Swords, Bows, Crossbows, Flying Stones, Flying Needles, Banners, Treasure Beads, with more than a hundred of each category.

Sixty percent of them were Spiritual Treasures, and forty percent were Spiritual Treasures in the making, with all the treasured materials being top-grade.

“Teacher, your disciple…”

“Do not play such pretensions.”

Yun Zhongzi chuckled and patted Li Ping’an’s arm, saying warmly,

“I have been refining artifacts for a million years, these treasures don’t amount to much.

“I’m not good at devising strategies, so I won’t take any position in your Heavenly Court.

“If you encounter any difficulties, you can send someone to Jade Void Palace.

If you don’t want to seek out Guang Chengzi, then seek out Taiyi, Yu Ding, and the others.

Don’t alienate the Chan Teaching.”

“Yes, disciple understands.”

Li Ping’an held the Vajra Turning bead and bowed deeply.

Although he felt a bit disrespectful in his heart, but…

if these Spiritual Treasures were converted into Spirit Stones, the Heavenly Court could afford a million Immortal Soldiers!

Of course, he wouldn’t sell them for cash.

The Spiritual Treasures created by Yun Zhongzi were extraordinary and rare in the world.

Only if they were equipped to the Heavenly Court’s generals, could their value be truly utilized.

Yun Zhongzi’s intention was for Li Ping’an to use these Spiritual Treasures to reward his subordinates.

You need funds to win people’s hearts; you can’t just talk to the Heavenly Court officials about ideals and morale without offering them some tangible benefits besides merit.

“All right,” Yun Zhongzi exhaled with relief, “I came to visit you just to give a few reminders.

Having fulfilled the trust of the Sect Hierarch and the camaraderie of the same sect, I will now return to continue my secluded cultivation.”

“Teacher, please stay here for a few days.”

Li Ping’an said with a wry smile,

“I have always been under teacher’s care, and I should find an opportunity to show my gratitude.”

Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and smiled, “Wait until you stand atop the Nine Heavens and oversee the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth.

Then, I will come to freeload your Heavenly Emperor Immortal Brew.

I must leave now.”

After speaking, Yun Zhongzi’s form was enveloped by clouds and mist, disappearing into the wind in an instant.

Li Ping’an made a respectful Daoist salute toward the direction Yun Zhongzi left and held the Vajra Turning bead, lost in thought for a while.
