"Marshal Li had long been bestowed the title of Divine Marquis, yet he remained diligent in accumulating rits over the years, likely with the ambition of becoming a Heavenly General of Dayu?"
As the youth departed, the court resud its hushed conversations.
Emperor Yu gazed at the youth’s silhouette, letting out a faint sigh in his heart, knowing the youth’s departing glance and what reward he sought, yet that item was unique, and he could not grant it.
Reflecting upon this, the image of the carefree smiling young hero ca to mind.
A swift hundred years have passed.
In the Land of All Saints, only so dozen years have gone by, and he pondered on how they fared.
Outside the Imperial Palace.
The youth departed the court, mounted his horse and galloped away from the grand hall.
Of all the civil and military officials in the court, only he possessed the privilege to ride within the Imperial City, a feat not even permitted for the Crown Prince.
Upon leaving the palace on horseback, he rode to the Imperial City, embarking on this demon-slaying venture with solely his personal retinue.
At this mont, instead of eting up with his retinue to return to Qingzhou, he rode toward a fad mountain just outside the city.
This mountain, rumored to have been barren a hundred years ago, later had its peak cleaved by a sword and cleared, all because a Female Sword Immortal settled there, establishing a Tao temple.
The mountain may not be lofty, but with a Fairy residing, it beca mystical, drawing martial artists from across the land seeking its allure, yet all faced rejection at its gate.
Within the temple, only a few Daoists remained as the Fairy’s attendants, maintaining the temple and tending to the dicine fields she cultivated.
"General Li, this is the dwelling of the Fairy, you must not intrude."
At the foot of the mountain, as the youth approached on horseback, he was halted at the stairway leading up the mountain’s thousands of steps.
Two plainly dressed won, adorned with blue attire and swords, hurriedly blocked the youth’s path.
The youth’s face showed a hint of displeasure, for he could roam the Imperial Palace freely; there was no place in the world shut to him.
Yet, thinking of the figure atop the mountain, he refrained from acting rashly, dismounted, and said, "Go inform Fairy Ren that Li Ping’an has co for a visit!"
Hearing his words, neither woman dared say more, and one hurried up the mountain to relay the ssage.
This youth, wielding imnse power and arguably ranked second only to Emperor Yu within the Dayu Divine Dynasty, rely stood silently at the foot of the steps, the nearby woman felt overwheld even to breathe.
Her family’s Fairy could refuse audiences with emperors and anyone else, and none would dare challenge her, due to her pursuit of supre prowess unparalleled in the world, yet they dared not slight the formidable general before them.
Monts later, a blue figure rushed down the steps; the woman who went to report returned, cautiously glanced at the youth, and said:
"General Li, my Fairy says she does not receive visitors, please return."
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, the youth’s face darkened, his patience seemingly exhausted in that instant; he wished to express anger but restrained himself upon recalling sothing, taking a deep breath, and said:
"I recently went into battle, slew a Tao Comprehension Realm demon, acquired its Dao scale, and ca to present it."
Speaking thus, he opened his palm, revealing a dark brown scale infused with Daoist Charm.
A misty aura emanated from the scale, rely a scale, yet akin to a Divine Weapon, radiating an incisive edge.
He handed it to the woman, saying, "Deliver this to Fairy Ren, tell her I only wish to have tea and leave."
The reporting woman, her gaze utterly captivated by the scale, sensed its trendous value, recognizing it as an extraordinary item that, if forged into a weapon, would be a renowned Divine Weapon in the world.
She hurriedly accepted it with caution, holding it reverently and said, "General Li, please wait a mont, I will notify the Fairy imdiately."
Turning, she quickly ascended the mountain.
The youth patiently continued his wait at the mountain’s base; his handso stature evoked admiration in the won’s hearts, kindling subtle admiration.
Since the youth’s rise to fa, he beca the most desirable marriage prospect for won across the realm.
Endowed with the title of Divine Marquis, reaching the utmost rank for mortals, born into a renowned Divine General family, achieving fa in youth, second in talent in millennia, all these accomplishnts and tales made this youth the center of endless discussions and admiration among many young won.
However, she understood that his eyes seed only to see their family’s Fairy.
During the wait, it wasn’t long before the previously reporting woman returned again.
Even before she approached, Li Ping’an’s brows furrowed upon seeing the Dao scale in her hands.
His face sank; she hadn’t accepted it?
"General Li, my Fairy stated that the item is precious, she cannot accept it without rit, please reclaim it, she will not see guests..."
The woman holding the Dao scale cautiously regarded him, displaying reluctance and pity, yet extended the scale back to the impressive General.
Li Ping’an was silent; after a mont, he retrieved the Dao scale, yet a touch of coldness surfaced in his eyes, saying:
"I simply wish to pay a visit; if the Fairy is so heartless, she should not fault my forced entry."
With these words, before the two won could cry out in shock, he leaped forth.
Capable of slaying a Tao Comprehension Realm demon, he was also of the Tao Comprehension Realm, and the two won were rely of the Three Immortal Realms, unable to hinder him in the slightest.
In an instant, he appeared directly in the air above the stairs.
Scanning his gaze, he swiftly saw before him an exceedingly humble bamboo-fenced courtyard.
Such a courtyard resembled those in ordinary village won’s hos, yet within was a singularly elegant figure clad in white as snow, sitting there, delicately sketching and capturing the distant green mountainous vista.
rely catching sight of this figure’s back, Li Ping’an’s anger inexplicably dissipated completely.
He fell silent, did not step forward, and simply stood there, as though unwilling to disturb or disrupt this scene, quietly waiting.
