997: Chapter 347 Innate Five Elements, Five to Six Spiritual Metamorphosis!_2 997: Chapter 347 Innate Five Elements, Five to Six Spiritual Metamorphosis!_2 The Immortal Sword unleashed its full might;

Five-Colored Divine Light surged towards us!

Li Ping’an’s veins bulged all over his body as he nearly swallowed the immortal power of the Xing He and Xinghan in one gulp, standing tall like a mountain in the Void was the Xuantian Tower!

Unable to block, yet they must, for their speed of escape was no match for the Five-Colored Divine Light; fleeing was simply impossible.

How could they just surrender without a fight!

Sword light surged, divine light unfolded.

Kong Xuan wielded dual blades, clashing fiercely against Guiling’s Mana, as the long river of Five-Colored Divine Light slammed against the Xuantian Tower!

Several muffled groans, the two trusted aides from the stars were blown backwards simultaneously, Luo Xuejing vomited blood, barely managing to hold up against the Pagoda as all the immortal power of a third-rank Golden Immortal surged forward.

Li Ping’an’s right arm was nearly shattered, flesh and blood burst apart and then rapidly reformed under the immortal light into a complete Dao Body.

Kong Xuan’s own strength was already slightly superior to that of Guilingling, one of the Eight Great Disciples of the Intercepting Sect, and with the assistance of the Innate Five-Elemental Qi and Five-Colored Divine Light, he was indeed three times more troublesome than that ancestor Minghe.

Several figures flew from the rear through the Void, it was Houtu arriving with several Mages for support.

The offensive of the Five-Colored Divine Light suddenly halted.

Li Ping’an, who had yet to detect Houtu’s presence, appeared visibly startled.

Had he lost track of Kong Xuan’s position?

Beside him, Guilingling suddenly let out a sigh of relief, slumped down in the Void, with the Immortal Sword in hand still trembling ceaselessly.

Did Kong Xuan leave?

A whisper suddenly rang out beside Li Ping’an’s ear:

“Emperor Li Tian, I hope you will remember what was said today.

If the Roc Bird can make significant contributions to the Heavenly Court one day, you shall grant him his freedom.

“My Phoenix Clan does not need to take refuge in the Heavenly Court to find a way to survive.

“You are too weak on your own.

If you reach the Golden Immortal Realm and wield such treasures of the Heavenly Dao, no one below the Saints could trouble you.

“Take care.”

Whoosh!

The voice whispering vanished quietly, a light green feather appeared out of nowhere, slowly scraping past Li Ping’an’s neck and falling onto his chest, then dissipating into flecks of green light.

Li Ping’an’s hair stood on end.

This feather seemed to have been behind his ear all along.

Had it not been merely conveying a message but jabbed through his head…

Li Ping’an could not help but curse a few coarse words from the Human Teachings.

“What’s the matter?” Guilingling looked at Li Ping’an’s nearly limp arm, “Quickly take some Elixir Pills!”

Li Ping’an took out two Elixir Pills given by a Great Mage, and handed one to Guilingling, who gulped it down with an audible “aww” sound.

Li Ping’an’s Dao heart quickly calmed down, and after a thorough analysis, he simply stated:

“If Kong Xuan wanted to harm me, I really would have had a hard time defending myself; his approach earlier wasn’t precisely a sneak attack, he revealed his aura and Dao Charm earlier to put us on guard.

“Fortunately, such a grandmaster has his own concerns.”

“The Roc Bird is right.

Kong Xuan bears the pressure of the survival of the Phoenix Clan.

This is also the sole reason he has chosen to allow the Roc to enter the Heavenly Court.”

“Hm?”

Guilingling was somewhat puzzled: “Are you saying that he wasn’t going all out just now?

That’s terrifying, was I really that weak?”

“No, he should have been putting forth his full effort against you, Uncle-Master, in the Magical Combat.”

Li Ping’an sighed:

“I mean, he didn’t go all out against me.

He seemed to be testing how much my influence reached into the Heavenly Dao, how much of the power of the Heavenly Dao I had mastered.

“From his last message, it seems he does not wish to be enemies with the Heavenly Court.”

Guilingling glanced at the several figures spitting blood while flying back in the distance, then at the Great Turtle Shell, which had just regained its senses and was slowly drifting back.

This is not wanting to be enemies…

Li Ping’an shook his head and said with a smile: “But the disgrace of today’s battle will be claimed back by me when I’m strong enough in the future; it’s a matter of the Heavenly Emperor’s dignity.”

Just then, strands of Five-Colored Divine Light flickered in the Void and vanished.

Wisps of Innate Five-Elemental Qi drifted away.

Li Ping’an’s spirit lifted.

Forgetting his fear, he dashed towards the Five-Elemental Qi, releasing several treasures from his sleeves, attempting to collect this extremely precious Innate Five-Elemental Qi.

Guilingling hurriedly followed him.

A short while later, Li Ping’an looked at several colored glass bottles containing the Innate Five-Elemental Qi, sighed with a complex expression, and turned to meet Houtu once more.

It was not disgraceful to have not defeated Kong Xuan.

In fact, he could proclaim to the outside that he had broken through Kong Xuan’s Five-Colored Divine Light.

Five-Colored Divine Light, irresistible, yet the Heavenly Emperor remains unshaken.

—Of course, Li Ping’an would not be so shameless.

He found new motivation for cultivation at the bottom of his heart.

Despite the many trials and tribulations ahead, if he were to only avoid them and not breakthrough, he would fall behind.

He would naturally continue to assist his master and support the main earth next;

Houtu originally intended to join him, but Li Ping’an declined graciously, asking her to continue overseeing the three newly conquered minor earths, as expanding the influence of the Heavenly Court was the utmost priority.

The Intercepting Sect Immortals who had not yet arrived also received a message through the conch from Guilingling.

The formidable enemy had retreated; they were not needed to travel far.

…

Half a day later.

The Silver Shuttle obscured its traces and shot towards the main earth.

Li Ping’an sat inside the shuttle, recounting in detail his recent encounter with Kong Xuan, as well as Kong Xuan’s last message, to his master.

Qing Su’s eyes shone as he listened, while Guilingling was sighing constantly.

“Kong Xuan is indeed formidable.

I previously heard from our eldest brother that Kong Xuan of the Phoenix Clan was the strongest beneath the Six Great Masters and also eldest brother’s nemesis.

At that time, I didn’t believe it.”

Guilingling beat her arms and legs, turning her head to glare at Huanglong, who was lying in a corner fast asleep, cursing:

“He’s the one taking it easy, just sleeping like that!”

Li Ping’an shook his head, turning to observe the meditating and healing Luoxue, Xinghe, and Xinghan, examining their injuries.

Alright, none of them were as severely injured as himself.

Li Ping’an’s hands were still trembling at this moment.

After a moment of thought, he took out the three colored glass bottles, the Innate Five Element Qi inside flickering with five-colored radiance.
