571: Chapter 201: Being the Heavenly Emperor’s ‘Favorite 571: Chapter 201: Being the Heavenly Emperor’s ‘Favorite The master will cultivate at Holy Mother Palace for some time.
Li Ping’an felt slightly surprised by this.
Moreover, according to the meaning of the Holy Mother, the master will attempt to break through to the Golden Immortal realm within Nüwa Palace, and the Holy Mother will also bestow some benefits upon Qing Su.
Was this the Holy Mother showing favor to him?
Or did the Holy Mother simply take a liking to his master personally?
Li Ping’an personally leaned towards the latter, after all, his master was pure-hearted and kind, even though she sometimes enjoyed fighting and was somewhat cruel to various tasty animals, but she herself was also a cultivation genius.
She was much mightier than that certain Heavenly Immortal from the Forge-Heaven Gate.
In front of the palace gate, Li Ping’an said a simple goodbye to Qing Su.
Qing Su was quite carefree, bowing to Li Ping’an and saying,
“If you need a protector later on, just send a letter over, and I will come myself.”
Li Ping’an hastily said, “Master, don’t make it so formal, I might need to come to Holy Mother Palace often later on.”
Qing Su asked, puzzled, “What for would you come here?”
He had just carefully considered it and realized that he might become the ‘messenger’ between the Holy Mother and Emperor Xuanyuan for a while.
Li Ping’an said with a smile, “Of course, to visit the master and bring some tasty food for her.”
Qing Su pursed her lips in a smile and took out a Jade Talisman from her sleeve.
“If you have any incomprehension about cultivating the Great Dao of the Cloud, and the answers are not within this, then come and ask me.”
Li Ping’an nodded with a smile.
Qing Su slightly lifted her smooth chin at him; Li Ping’an caught the hint, bowed, and turned around, preparing to ride the clouds away.
Just as he was about to take off, Li Ping’an remembered something and turned his head to say, “Master, that is…
Yun Zhongzi, the Great Power of Chan Teaching, once passed down to me an entire set of Artifact Refining methods, so in a certain sense, I am also a disciple of Yun Zhongzi…”
Qing Su looked at him with a bit of confusion, seemingly wondering why Li Ping’an was suddenly saying this.
“I just wanted to let you know, you should cultivate diligently, cultivate diligently.”
Li Ping’an bowed again, turned, and rode the clouds away, as his Primordial Spirit let out a long sigh of relief.
The conversation with the Holy Mother, though short, allowed Li Ping’an to relax a lot.
To some extent, he had gained another support.
Li Ping’an rode the clouds into the sky, heading towards the palace gate, with the fairy maidens escorting from afar.
The fairy maidens originally wanted to make a good connection with him; they all recognized that this nascent True Immortal, oh no, now a True Immortal, had won the trust of the Holy Mother, and might very well be the next Human Emperor.
But seeing Li Ping’an with hands clasped behind his back and his brow furrowed in deep thought, the fairy maidens did not dare to approach rashly.
Li Ping’an was indeed quite conflicted at the moment.
His conversation with the Holy Mother mostly revolved around the relationship between Heavenly Dao and the slaves of Heavenly Dao.
The Holy Mother didn’t persuade him to accept Heavenly Dao; instead, she reminded him that when he was completely in the grasp of Heavenly Dao, it was also when he would have lost his value to Heavenly Dao.
On the contrary, if one wanted to be a good Heavenly Emperor, the first lesson was how to resonate with Heavenly Dao and ensure that when one was weak, they wouldn’t be suppressed by Heavenly Dao.
As for specifically how to keep from being suppressed by Heavenly Dao while resonating with it, the Holy Mother didn’t say, and Li Ping’an didn’t ask.
Because the answer to this question was only known to the Ancient Heavenly Emperor Emperor Jun.
And Emperor Jun had long been turned into barbecue by Suiren.
Li Ping’an looked towards the vast expanse of stars before him and couldn’t help but feel the road ahead was obscure; he wasn’t sure how to proceed.
He was deeply caught in the whirlpool of various powers, and if he couldn’t break free from the whirlpool, he would vanish without a trace.
This world didn’t care about the feelings of a fifth-rank True Immortal;
Without him, there would be the hundred-and-first resonator with Heavenly Dao.
‘All those previous slaves of Heaven perished horridly.’
‘What Heavenly Dao gives you, already comes marked with a price.’
Defying Heavenly Dao, resonating with Heavenly Dao.
Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit looked up and saw that the Golden Cloud in his line of sight was actually a heavy black expanse.
Later on, he must retreat for a period to accumulate insights into the Great Dao of the Cloud, to counteract the force of Heavenly Dao with the Dao of the Cloud, to avoid being truly devoured by Heavenly Dao.
Only by continuously cultivating, comprehending, and resonating with The Great Dao could he have a chance in the future, to once again ask the Holy Mother to lead him into the Chaos Sea for a breakthrough.
Such a request naturally couldn’t be made too often.
Who would dare to casually call upon the Human Race’s Holy Mother, a Sect Hierarch?
Therefore, Li Ping’an set himself a timeline of three hundred years, deciding to endure three hundred years of arduous cultivation, attempting to see if he could break through to the Golden Immortal…
The loud voice of Elder Tianli came from afar.
Li Ping’an looked down and saw his father; he immediately showed a hint of a smile and quickly descended.
The Tianli family gave him a respectful bow.
“Thank you, Enlightened Immortal, for enlightening my father!”
“Thank you, Enlightened Immortal, for enlightening my husband!”
“Thank you, Enlightened Immortal, for enlightening my ancestral master…”
Li Ping’an returned the gesture with a smile and glanced at Ye Zisang, who was a bit perfunctory, but didn’t joke with him.
Elder Tianli made a big circle with his hands and thanked Li Ping’an with a bow, his loud voice as if afraid the soldiers outside couldn’t hear, boomed,
If it wasn’t for that insight from you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have advanced half a step in my life!”
“What are you doing, senior?”
Li Ping’an quickly bowed in return:
“Senior, you were struck by the heavenly punishment of Heavenly Dao while protecting me, and hence had an epiphany.
What does that have to do with Heavenly Dao!
It was your words that Heavenly Dao has its flaws, so why should I say my Dao Realm is perfect?
That’s what made me understand Taiyi!”
