983: Chapter 342: This Is Called Professionalism_3 983: Chapter 342: This Is Called Professionalism_3 Roc Bird, being unstable in his Taoist heart at this moment, spoke first: “Does the Heavenly Emperor know of our Phoenix Clan?

We have no grudges against the Human Race or the Heavenly Court.”

“Oh?”

Li Ping’an said, “But, Daoist friend, you indeed carry heavy karmic obstacles and are also listed by the Heavenly Dao as an ancient great demon.”

“That was when I was born in ancient times without awakened spirituality, only knowing hunting for survival, devouring many creatures of the Hundred Tribes, and the Human Race was also there at that time.”

Roc Bird proudly said:

“If this counts as my karmic obstacle, I myself do not accept it.

“You Human Race eat cows, sheep, and livestock, hunt birds of prey for food, why doesn’t it increase your karmic obstacles?

“Why does it increase my karmic obstacles when I eat what are cows and sheep in my eyes?”

Li Ping’an slightly shook his head.

“First, cows and sheep have not awakened their spiritual intelligence and are fundamentally different from the creatures of the Hundred Tribes and the Human Race; Daoist friend should not try to confuse this.”

“Second, these are the rules set by the Heavenly Dao.”

Li Ping’an smiled and said:

“The Heavenly Dao is impartial and insentient, it protects what benefits the heaven, earth, and all spirits, and repels what harms them.

“The Heavenly Dao cannot directly intervene with the creatures, thus it has established merits and karmic obstacles.

“But precisely because the Heavenly Dao sets such rules, order is gradually established, the heaven and earth are evolving, and the times are changing.

If the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth remained in the ancient barbaric state, how would we discuss its longevity or development?

“You and the peacock both prey on humans, appeared from ancient times, but acted according to the rules of the ancient times, so how could you not incur karmic obstacles?”

Roc Bird, rendered speechless, scoffed: “The Heavenly Emperor has good oratory skills; I cannot argue with you.

Now all the Phoenix Clan experts have karmic obstacles.

I admit it.”

“The source of the Phoenix Clan experts’ karmic obstacle lies in shattering the ancient heaven and earth.”

Li Ping’an shook his head:

“The Dragon Clan retreats in the Ancient Dragon Realm, now nearly unable to continue their lineage.”

“Now I indeed have the intention to help the Dragon Clan.”

Roc Bird’s gaze became sharp: “What does Heavenly Emperor mean?

Our surviving Phoenix Clan experts hide in the Undying Volcano not daring to come out, and the Dragon Clan can?

This is unreasonable!

Why are you so biased, O Emperor!”

“Daoist friend, look outside.”

Li Ping’an pointed outside the hall.

Roc Bird frowned and said: “I see, a group of Jiaolongs are moving a small heaven and earth.”

“The Dragon and Phoenix Clans shatter the heaven and earth, and the process of atonement is to gather the heaven and earth.”

Li Ping’an leisurely said:

“I give the Dragon Clan a chance because it is beneficial for the stability and longevity of heaven and earth, thus the Heavenly Dao also permits it.

“Now it is the Jiaolongs moving, after a while, it will be the Dragon Clan themselves moving.

Just a thousand years, and the Dragon Clan might well return to the heaven and earth.

“Daoist friend, is a thousand years a long time?”

“Very short…”

Roc Bird frowned at Li Ping’an, picked up the wine vessel in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

He pondered deeply, suddenly asking: “The Western Sect has twin saints…”

“Haven’t you heard of who follows me?”

Li Ping’an raised his right hand, his fingers closed together, then spread, a faint Water-Fire Tai Chi Diagram slowly appeared and then dissipated.

This is a Divine Skill understood from the “Dao Scripture”, not yet powerful in Magical Combat.

Roc Bird’s expression changed.

This water-fire coexistence, the balancing Yin-Yang of the Two Extremes’ Great Dao, unique to the vast wilderness, belongs only to Taiqing.

Yes, behind the Heavenly Emperor are the Three Pure Ones of the Taoist Sect and Nüwa…

A thousand years later, behind the Heavenly Emperor will be four Saints, including the Three Pure Ones transformed from Pangu’s Primordial Spirit, the Dragon and Phoenix Clans were originally Pangu God’s generals…

Roc Bird slightly frowned, feeling he was missing something crucial, seemingly overlooking something important, he bowed his head and continued to deeply ponder.

Li Ping’an wasn’t in a hurry; he had plenty of patience, holding a small knife and slowly slicing roasted meat, dipping it in a sauce that tasted like sweet sauce, and continuously feeding himself.

“It’s impossible…”

Roc Bird closed his eyes and sighed:

“If the Heavenly Court wants to subdue the Dragon Clan, then my elder brother is definitely going to fight against the Heavenly Court as well.”

“His abilities are several times mine; I only have extreme speed, but he is…”

“If the Phoenix Clan insists on fighting the Dragon Clan again, then I recommend fighting a life-and-death battle in the Chaos Sea!”

Li Ping’an’s expression turned colder:

“If there is another major fight in the heaven and earth, let alone the Three Pure Ones, my Heavenly Court will also hold all parties initiating the fight accountable!”

“Daoist friend, your involvement in the assassination of the Heavenly Court’s Emperor alone is enough for the Heavenly Court to take your life.

If the Phoenix Clan seeks revenge, it is merely opposing the Heavenly Dao, and it humiliates itself.”

“Does the Phoenix Clan still intend to continue the ancient battle with the Dragon Clan?”

“Hmm,” Roc Bird sighed, “Everyone doesn’t feel they have lost, but the Hundred Clans think we lost.

This bitterness inevitably needs to be vented, moreover, how can the hatred of clan extermination be resolved?”

Li Ping’an said, “I actually think, for the Phoenix Clan, how to continue living in the heaven and earth, to proliferate and thrive, may actually be the most important.”

“The principle is indeed so, but if such things could be so easily done…

alas.”

Roc Bird looked despondent and murmured:

“If only mother could attain Nirvana again, she would definitely tell us how to proceed.”

“Let’s drink.”

Li Ping’an outwardly sighed, seemingly empathizing with Roc Bird.

Actually, Li Ping’an had already targeted Roc Bird’s lifeline.

Li Ping’an decided, next, to coax Roc Bird towards being the ‘opinion leader of the Phoenix Clan,’ ‘the only sensible young chap of the Phoenix Clan,’ cough, to cultivate, and along with the power of the Heavenly Dao, enlighten him.

This might not only win Roc Bird over but also yield an unexpected gain.

However, such matters can’t be rushed.

Li Ping’an planned to spend half a month trying to inspire Roc Bird, coming over every day for an hour, drinking and chatting.

To activate Roc Bird’s sense of responsibility, to set high ideals for him, and then use these ideals as shackles to bind Roc Bird’s defiant nature.

This tactic, Li Ping’an would like to call it— “Self-Inspiring Great Method.”

As for how to deal with Roc Bird, how to make him face punishment for his karmic obstacles…

First to win him over before discussing that.
