848: Chapter 296: To the Spiritual Mountain_3 848: Chapter 296: To the Spiritual Mountain_3 At that moment, Li Ping’an took Xing He and Xinghan with him, ordering the two to wear identical sets of majestic armor, and asked Mother Gui Ling to ride the clouds and hurry them along to the Azure Wander Palace.
According to Li Ping’an’s plan;
After he arrived at the Azure Wander Palace, he would first dismiss everyone present and then make a formal bow before presenting his plea to the Tongtian Sect Leader, stating the severity of the situation and discussing matters of heaven and earth, urging the journey to Mount Ling!
However, once he truly arrived at the Azure Wander Palace, Li Ping’an only blinked, and suddenly he was stripped naked, sitting in the Spiritual Spring behind the main hall of the palace.
This highest of the Three Pure Ones leaned against the edge of the pool, a damp towel covering his forehead, his long hair simply tied back without a drop of water on it.
Beside him, in the curling immortal mists, several women wearing only thin gauzy skirts were chatting about skincare and how to get a fair complexion.
Below in the main pool, several old men with odd and grotesque appearances were submerged, holding their breath, emitting from their very beings a medicinal quality that improved the water of the pool.
Then, Li Ping’an heard the noise emanating from the nose of the Tongtian Sect Leader:
comprehend the Great Dao, return to nature…”
Are you comprehending the Dao right now?
This is clearly just slacking off!
Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched slightly as he spoke earnestly, “Great Uncle Master, I am here on urgent business.”
The Tongtian Sect Leader mumbled with his eyes closed, “What’s so urgent?
The Tongtian Sect Leader immediately sat upright, looking at Li Ping’an with a smile:
“Tell me, how many disciples do you want this time?
Ping’an, can’t you be a bit more generous?
Every time you only call a few of my disciples to help, if the Western Sect sees this, they’ll think my Jie Sect has no immortals!
“Can’t you have more than a hundred this time?”
Li Ping’an managed an awkward smile, “I can’t.”
The Tongtian Sect Leader lay back down and continued murmuring with his eyes closed:
“Then just join me for a bath, and have Mother Gui Ling find someone by herself, you handle it.”
“This time, I wish for Great Uncle Master to take action!”
Li Ping’an said earnestly:
“The Western Sect has gone too far; Calamity Duobao treats no one with respect, and the act of heaven and earth fragments striking the dwellings of mortals is beyond the limits of my endurance.”
The Tongtian Sect Leader opened his eyes and gazed over, those profound eyes filled with a certain expectation.
Li Ping’an took a deep breath and continued:
“I dare not conceal from Great Uncle Master: I have used the power of Heavenly Dao to investigate the karmic obstructions and merit of the four Great Sects.
The total number of karmic obstructions in the Jie Sect is still above that of the Western Sect!
“However, in the Jie Sect’s immortals, seventy percent of the source of their karmic obstructions dates back to ancient times, the injuries inflicted upon heaven and earth during the ancient times of Magical Combat, and upon examining the composition of karmic obstructions of the immortals from our sect, the overwhelming majority of the ten-thousand immortals in the Jie Sect have karmic stains unconnected to the Human Race.
“It seems likely that ever since the Jie Sect was established in ancient times, it was due to Great Uncle Master’s constraint over the disciples’ behavior!
Before I dared not rashly promise how the Jie Sect would fare, but now I can no longer tolerate the Western Sect…
On the day of the Daoist Immortal Tribulation, I am willing to lend the Jie Sect the strength of half an arm!”
“Half an arm?” The Tongtian Sect Leader was a bit bewildered.
“Yes,” Li Ping’an said, “I dare not make a full commitment, but if there are immortals in the Jie Sect who can be saved, and they themselves have not previously committed acts against heaven or cruelty, I shall certainly step in to protect them.”
The Tongtian Sect Leader inquired, “When the Dao Immortal Tribulation descends, how will you provide protection?”
“Great calamities come forth, ashes and death, the Dao vanishes!”
Li Ping’an’s gaze flickered slightly:
“If one could be listed in the Heavenly Dao’s sequence ahead of time, one’s own Great Dao could also escape the Daoist Immortal Tribulation, this is the first.
“If one could enter the roster of immortal officials in the Heavenly Court and receive the Heavenly Dao’s merit, one can resolve a portion of their calamitous fate, this is the second.
“If one could receive the protection of Heavenly Dao, the Dao vanishes but the person does not die, this is the third.
“I have plans for all three!”
The Tongtian Sect Leader pondered quietly for a while, then suddenly slapped the water and stood up, “Good!
Tell me, do you want me to slay Jie Yin or Zhunti?”
Li Ping’an questioned, “Can you slay them?”
“It is somewhat difficult, at worst I’ll just sink their Western Continent!
It should still be possible to determine a victor within a few hundred years.”
“That, there’s no need to go that far just yet, and your master is likely to stop you.”
Li Ping’an said earnestly:
“Could you accompany me to Mount Ling?”
The Tongtian Sect Leader frowned and said, “You’ve said so much, just for this matter?”
Li Ping’an sighed, “To press down upon Mount Ling is but a trivial matter for you, but for the Human Race as it stands today, it is of tremendous encouragement.”
“In that case, This Poor Daoist shall represent the Human Race this one time.”
The Tongtian Sect Leader’s figure floated upwards, his body clad in a dark robe in the twinkling of immortal light, his feet standing upon auspicious clouds.
“Duobao, Jin Ling, Wu Dang, Gongming, hurry to the Azure Wander Palace.”
