Golden Crow “This Poor Daoist Luya, I would like to have an audience with the Heavenly Emperor.”

Li Ping’an looked at the guest list before him and raised his head to look at Luo Xuejing beside him.

Luo Xuejing hurriedly said, “That old Daoist is waiting outside right now.

I have already secretly investigated him.

He is a puppet made of special materials, no different from a regular person.”

Li Ping’an nodded and turned to look at his elderly father.

“Can you see him for me?”

“Who is it?” Li Dazhi stretched his sleeves, “Has the foremost Immortal of the Ministry of Wealth in our Heavenly Court finally found some use for combat?”

Li Ping’an passed the guest list to him, and Li Dazhi immediately raised his eyebrows.

Li Dazhi chuckled and said, “What’s wrong, why don’t you want to see him?”

“He’s not one of our own.”

Li Ping’an’s mouth turned down slightly as he spoke languidly,

“The commotion outside, and that initial outcry of ‘Where is the Heavenly Emperor,’ must have been orchestrated by this Luya.

“The standards of conduct in the Ancient Heavenly Court still revolve around the survival of the fittest.

In those days, Luya and his nine brothers transformed into ten suns scorching the earth, committing innumerable sins, yet the Heavenly Dao did not impose divine punishment on him.

“I’ve previously tallied the karmic hindrances of the experts from the Hundred Clans, and he ranks first.

“Moreover, when I investigated, his silhouette was but an outline; he must have some treasures that conceal him from the Heavenly Dao’s scrutiny and allow him to evade the rightful punishment.

“If I were to meet him without enacting sanctions, then I would be negligent in my duties as the Heavenly Emperor.

Whatever gets out would not bode well for the majesty of the Heavenly Court.”

Li Dazhi’s eyes showed a trace of admiration, “Not bad, now you’re starting to act like a Heavenly Emperor.

I will meet with him then!

Here, take this for now; check if there is anything amiss.”

“What?”

Li Ping’an took the Jade Talisman handed over by his father, and lines of frustration immediately furrowed his forehead.

Good grief, has Father’s lessons on the Heavenly Dao already advanced to the topic of ‘relations of production’?

In recent years, Li Ping’an had also pondered why the Heavenly Dao was so eager for the ideological input they brought from Earth…

to be precise, it was a thirst that the Heavenly Dao wanted to absorb.

Li Ping’an came to two conclusions, one optimistic, and the other pessimistic.

The optimistic conclusion:

[The foundation of the Heavenly Dao lies within mortals, which means it must find ways to protect them.

Mortals are true weaklings in the vast wilderness of Heaven and Earth.

The world described by Father’s teachings is an ideal state where mortals can fully protect themselves, which is the exact opposite of the ancestral notions since ancient times, hence strongly resonating with the Heavenly Dao.]

The pessimistic conclusion:

[The Heavenly Dao wants to create a world similar to their old Earth, without cultivation, without supernatural powers, a tranquil and desolate era inhabited only by mortals.]

Naturally, Li Ping’an hoped it was the former.

After all, the Heavenly Dao also requires the power of living beings to constrain it, and only by maintaining a dynamic balance can heaven and earth continue to thrive.

—This is the truth he gleaned from the Dao Scriptures.

As Li Ping’an was thinking, the Spirit Platform stirred slightly, and his Dao heart began to grasp insights, seemingly on the brink of taking a half-step forward, reaching the threshold of a Golden Immortal.

He looked at the images within the radiant light of the Spirit Platform and silently suppressed this insight, hiding it.

‘Better quickly find the whereabouts of Xingtian.’

He gestured for Ningning Mu to chat with his master and the others while he closed his eyes, projecting a wisp of his mind to observe his father’s location.

To prevent any risk of upheaval from Daoist Luya’s puppet, Immortal Huanglong had already secretly followed to protect him;

Additionally, with the two trusted aides, Xing He and Xinghan, following closely behind Li Dazhi, and Li Dazhi himself possessing the complete Heavenly Immortal Dao Realm, there was no need to worry about safety.

…

Daoist Luya sat quietly in a secluded stone hall.

He looked around at the meager decorations with a slight curl of his lips and a touch of contempt in his eyes.

‘This Human Race’s Heavenly Court truly lacks any sophistication.’

Suddenly, he heard the sound of yawning from outside the hall.

Daoist Luya focused his gaze and saw a middle-aged Daoist dressed in a brown robe, slightly plump, entering with two guards.

The Daoist was only one step away from the realm of a Golden Immortal, but that hardly counted as anything noteworthy in the Desolate Era.

Daoist Luya’s puppet scoffed, “What, the Heavenly Emperor doesn’t even have the courage to show up?

Is he afraid of being targeted by This Poor Daoist?”

“Hmm?”

Li Dazhi looked over Daoist Luya’s puppet up and down a few times and chuckled,

“The esteemed Daoist doesn’t even come in person, yet you wish to directly meet the new Heavenly Emperor of the New Heavenly Court?

“Besides, you were merely a prince in the ancient regime of the Desolate Era, and now that order has been rebuilt, why should the Heavenly Emperor deign to meet you?

“You really hold yourself in high regard, Daoist friend!”

Daoist Luya coldly replied, “Not to mention that this Human Race’s Heavenly Court has yet to be established, and Li Ping’an is merely an interim Heavenly Emperor.

Even if the Heavenly Court has moved to the primary Heaven and Earth, elevated above the ninth heaven, a Daluo Golden Immortal should still be accorded greater reverence!”

Li Dazhi smirked and nonchalantly took his seat at the head of the table.

With Xing He and Xinghan folding their arms behind Li Dazhi, they looked unfavourably at Daoist Luya’s puppet.

Li Dazhi calmly stated,

“Reverence is not just a matter of words, the Heavenly Court respects the Daluo Golden Immortals of the Three Teachings of the Taoist Sect, and those throughout Heaven and Earth who are upright and do not harm others.

“But you, an Old Minister of the Ancient Heavenly Court wrapped in karmic hindrances and laden with sins, presume to lecture our New Heavenly Court.

“This is, without a doubt, rather presumptuous.”

“Humph!”

Daoist Luya took a seat in another chair and stared at Li Dazhi with keen eyes,

“Does this New Heavenly Court know that just five or six years ago, the Calamitous being from the Western Sect came seeking This Poor Daoist?

“He knew I had two precious treasures in my possession and wished to borrow them for use against the Heavenly Emperor.”

Li Dazhi’s expression shifted slightly.
