947: Chapter 330: Ancestral Dragon Egg [Third Update, Vote Request] – Part 2 947: Chapter 330: Ancestral Dragon Egg [Third Update, Vote Request] – Part 2 “Just using such an unbelievable bargaining chip…

Does he really think he’s Taoist Hongjun, leading all creatures of the Desolate Era?”

Li Ping’an chuckled awkwardly, “He’s most likely going to oppose the New Heavenly Court.”

“Sigh,” Yinglong shook his head, “My Dragon Clan still can’t return to the cosmos, otherwise, I’d at least provide His Majesty with eighteen battle dragons as guards, such petty individuals wouldn’t be a cause for concern.”

Li Ping’an winked at Yinglong.

Yinglong felt somewhat embarrassed, hands stuffed in the wide sleeves of his ancient robe, not daring to look at Li Ping’an.

The implication of the words was all too clear.

Just then, Wen Ling’er, accompanied by the White Tiger in human form, came carrying fragrant tea and incense burner, somewhat alleviating Yinglong’s embarrassment.

Yinglong simply spread his hands, hands on his knees, and said seriously, “With Emperor Xuanyuan involved, we might as well not hide things from each other, the first miniature cosmos will soon be sent near the Misty Realm, this merit matter…”

“Heavenly Dao’s merit is ready.”

Li Ping’an lifted his tea and took a sip, smiling:

“If elder brother is in a hurry to have it, I can dispatch it right now.”

“Wait, wait!”

Yinglong hurriedly said, “Not so fast, how are you going to dispatch it?”

“How to dispatch?”

Li Ping’an said solemnly:

“This concerns the secrets of the Heavenly Court, I normally shouldn’t divulge it, but since it’s you, elder brother.

“To distribute merit, I need to communicate with the Heavenly Dao first, then use the merit to form a Divine Cloth, writing on it how the merits are to be distributed.

“Then the Heavenly Dao will descend the merit as per the method I have written.

“There are two sources of the merit descended by Heavenly Dao.

“First is produced by the Heavenly Dao itself; generally, it first descends karmic obstacles, then merits, where karmic obstacles and merits are in equal number.

“Second is drawing these merits from the Heavenly Court’s Merit Treasure Pond, whose merit source is the reverence of all living beings.”

“So that’s how it is!”

Yinglong mused for a while, then slowly said:

“In that case, Your Majesty, how do you plan to distribute merit to the Dragon Clan, what specific method…

like, how much for the Jiaolong doing the work, and how much for the Dragon Clan organizing this?”

Li Ping’an said, “Let’s go with nine-to-one, those who work definitely should get the major share.”

Yinglong showed an ‘as expected’ expression, then bitterly smiled, “Can we give the Dragon Clan a bit more?

How about fifty-fifty?

The old dragons in the clan are also quite worldly-wise, their letters of nonsense in the past must have displeased you.”

“You needn’t speak in such a manner, elder brother.”

Li Ping’an stated firmly:

“The Dragon Clan has tremendous strength and a shocking foundation; the Heavenly Court is just starting out.

In our interactions with the Dragon Clan, it’s only natural for them to try and gain an upper hand.

“I’m not targeting these issues.

“I just think that, since the Jiaolong are the real workers, giving the major share of the merit to the Dragon Clan would only promote a trend of the strong bullying the weak.”

Yinglong sighed, “The rules of the ancient Desolate Era really don’t apply today, but the clan elders are indeed stubborn, truly at a loss as to how to persuade them.”

“In fact, elder brother, you don’t need to persuade.”

Li Ping’an’s eyes were full of sincerity:

“Gathering the miniature cosmoses near the Misty Realm was actually my idea.

This plan is crucial as it relates to how fast the Heavenly Court can develop in the future.

“If we successfully advance this plan, within a hundred years we could gather thirty to fifty miniature cosmoses in the northwest, with the Heavenly Court only needing a small standing military force along with local Mountain Gods and Water Gods to safeguard these miniature cosmoses.

“Only then should we move on to liberate other miniature cosmoses.

“Eight directions, eight plans, completed over eight hundred years.”

Li Ping’an sighed:

“Thus, after the six Sect Hierarchs attain saint status and return, the foundation of the Heavenly Court would be established, and I could still hold some sway in the Heavenly Dao.

“Otherwise, when the Six Saints return, I could pretty much consider semi-retiring.

Wanting to do anything would surely be obstructed by the two Saints from the West, making it even more difficult.

“If you see the Heavenly Dao as a table, currently I’m the only one at it, but once the Six Saints return, it’s six more, all above my head…I’m actually the most anxious one.”

Yinglong nodded slowly, his gaze full of contemplation.

Li Ping’an said, “But my anxiety does no good.

The ills of the Dragon Clan are second only to the Ancient Heavenly Court.

Nowadays, these three thousand miniature cosmoses are essentially fashioned by the Dragon Clan, the karmic obstacles are immense!”

Yinglong, visibly embarrassed: “I have disappointed Your Majesty.”

Li Ping’an continued:

“There’s another matter, elder brother, just so you’re aware,

“The high-ranked masters of the Ocean Race whom I brought back, as well as some other members, have now taken root in the Misty Realm.

They are also actively joining the Heavenly Court, and I plan to foster a maritime force and commanders, to facilitate naval warfare in the future.

“The Ocean Race holds deep grudges against the Dragon Clan, and although last time’s rebellion was deliberately orchestrated by the Dragon Clan, still…

if elder brother could persuade the clan elders, please do urge them more.”

“Sigh!”

Yinglong sighed:

“I know all this, I’ll try again when I go back.

There are actually many young members of our clan who already want to improve this situation.

“Your Majesty, but this time, could you possibly give the Dragon Clan a bit more merit?

“With this amount of merit, I’d be better poised to persuade the clan elders.”

“I’ve already prepared it for you, elder brother.”

Li Ping’an smiled warmly, pulling a piece of Divine Cloth from his sleeve and handing it to Yinglong, gently saying:

“Seventy-thirty split of the merit, seven for the Jiaolong, three for the Dragon Clan.

The amount of merit has also been carefully calculated, rest assured, the Dragon Clan will not be shortchanged.”

“Really?”

Yinglong carefully unfolded the Divine Cloth, his demeanor as if he were handling a long-awaited dragon egg.

Soon, Yinglong pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes filled with sentiment, and even a hint of moisture at the corners.

Li Ping’an:…
