Chapter 1140: Chapter 399: Qing Su Attacked, Zixiao Revealed
Li Ping’an and Jade Pool rode the Roc Bird, flying straight beyond the Nine Heavens.
His greatest worry, naturally, was that the Transcenders might suddenly act to block his eting with Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones;
but the journey was quiet, and the Transcenders did not appear.
The Transcenders seed to have tacitly approved of his trip, or perhaps they were scheming sothing else—Li Ping’an couldn’t quite tell for now.
The structural layers of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, from inside out, consisted of the Main World, the Void, the nurous floating small worlds within the Void, the world’s mbrane, and the Chaos Sea.
The rules set by the Heavenly Dao were as follows:
Powerful beings may cross the mbrane encasing the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth from any direction to enter the Chaos Sea;
but to enter the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth from the Chaos Sea, unless one possesses the strength to overco the Heavenly Dao, one must pass through Xuan Capital City.
The Chaos Sea is directionless and ti boundless—Zixiao Palace hovers in a cryptic location, impossible to describe with specific coordinates, and seeking Zixiao Palace is exceedingly difficult.
Fortunately, with Jade Pool’s assistance here, many troubles were avoided.
As they approached the world mbrane directly above the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, Li Ping’an could feel no movent of spiritual energy. Looking up, he could see an endless veil of gray mist.
A naless, instinctual fear erged from the depths of his biological essence, making his Dao heart tremble.
‘Chaos is the norm; order is the exception.’
He occasionally glimpsed enlightennt.
‘Does chaos conform to the second law of thermodynamics?’
A new curiosity arose within him.
Jade Pool suddenly said, “Roc Bird, don’t fly directly out; we need to leave a mark within the world, lest we lose ourselves and our perception of ti’s flow in the Chaos Sea.”
The Roc Bird also spoke, “Your Majesty, I will serve as your protector.”
“How does it work?”
Li Ping’an’s clear eyes revealed a hint of innocence.
Jade Pool covered her mouth and tittered, stepping forward onto the Roc Bird’s golden feathers. Her delicate fingers touched his forehead, neck, and wrists, then lightly pushed with a palm.
A shadow erged from behind Li Ping’an, darting into the Void and disappearing.
Slivers of flowing light flew out from Jade Pool and the Roc Bird’s bodies, similarly entering the Void, concealed beyond the cosmos.
Li Ping’an pondered briefly and casually ford a hand seal, murmuring:
“This is our anchor point in the world.”
Jade Pool was just about to nod when Li Ping’an’s palm suddenly ignited streaks of light, which darted into the cosmos beyond.
Jade Pool’s expression froze slightly—she had rely perford a demonstration…
Li Ping’an laughed and said, “Better to leave multiple anchors—just to be safe. Ready to head out now?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Please lead the way, Great Queen Mother.”
The Roc Bird spoke softly, its golden aura surging to envelop the two riders on its back fully, before flying directly through the world mbrane ahead.
This was not Li Ping’an’s first ti entering the Chaos Sea, but last ti he had been directly transported to the secret realm created by Shengmu Nuwa and had not directly experienced the Chaos Sea like this.
Plunging into the mist;
Returning to true essence;
The Dao heart of Li Ping’an stirred with countless monts of realization.
Having prepared ticulously with a trove of topics for enjoying a mont of intimacy on this journey with Li Ping’an, Jade Pool turned her head to find him already seated, imrsed in ditation and Dao comprehension, with a faint smile of enlightennt on his lips…
‘Ah well.’
Jade Pool sighed inwardly, staring vacantly at the location of Zixiao Palace, already indicating the path ahead to the Roc Bird.
…
Dong’an City, Enlightennt Hall of Casting Cloud Sect.
Qing Su arrived with Guilingling, and the Hall Manager imdiately assigned them the finest pool, staffed with over ten young female disciples, while activating the Golden Immortal-level protective array.
Although such formations were insignificant compared to Guilingling’s defensive barriers;
it nonetheless demonstrated the earnestness of the hundreds of “managers and workers” at Enlightennt Hall.
They truly yearned for progress.
At this mont, Guiling and Qing Su, dressed in light gauzy robes, soaked in the Enlightennt Pool, enjoying shoulder massages from a few young disciples while reflecting on the monotony of eternal life.
Guilingling exclaid, “Disciple-Nephew Ping’an is far too busy—he can’t even take ti to enjoy leisure!”
Qing Su chuckled softly, “The disciple is the Heavenly Emperor, naturally he has many duties. This Enlightennt Hall could even expand to the Misty Realm, allowing Ningning to try it out.”
“Just tell the Great Wealth Immortal! After all, he’s still your Sect Leader!”
Laughing, Guilingling flopped onto her back, her short arms clinging to the pool’s edge, her large eyes admiring Qing Su’s graceful and dreamy silhouette. She praised:
“Qing Qing, you’re so pretty!”
Qing Su closed her eyes and humd softly, seemingly sighing lightly, her gaze sparkling faintly as she reopened her eyes.
She murmured, “I wouldn’t trouble the Sect Leader with such matters, especially just for the enjoynt of a few of us.”
“What’s the harm,” Guilingling muttered, “it’s not like we’re not paying Spirit Stones! Disciple-Nephew has given so many Spirit Stones and rits—I feel a bit embarrassed to take them. Sotis I think maybe I should swap for a senior sister to guard him instead.”
“You’re already familiar with him; better not to change.”
Qing Su closed her eyes and savored the alternating cool and warm flow of spiritual energy within the pool.
She said, “The disciple has already reached the Golden Immortal realm, advancing faster in cultivation than I. Truthfully, I’m uncertain what further use I’d have guarding him closely.”
Guilingling blinked and said, “Qing Qing, you better not scare . Let’s just stay together, eating, drinking, playing, and reaping rit.”
Qing Su smiled lightly.
“After wandering the world these years, I’ve grown slightly more talkative. Previously, I always ditated alone in the mountains, scarcely saying much to others.
“Rest assured, the New Heavenly Court has yet to rise to the Nine Heavens, so I won’t leave the disciple’s side for now. Even if not to ensure his safety, I can still contribute to the Heavenly Court’s tasks.
“But once the Heavenly Court is established, I should retreat, either back to my sect for cultivation and discipleship or seeking an immortal isle on the East Sea for hermitage.”
Guilingling blinked and said, “Then co with to Azure Wander Palace!”
Qing Su shook her head.
She said, “With the Dao Immortal Tribulation approaching, I shouldn’t associate too much with Chanjie; otherwise, the disciple might find himself in a difficult position.”
“Alright,” Guilingling sighed, flipping to float on the water’s surface, while the serving girls knelt and adjusted their postures to continue providing massages.
Guilingling gazed vacantly at the view of the East Sea beyond the barrier.
“I wonder how much longer these leisurely days will last—the Dao Immortal Tribulation sounds terrifying enough.”
“Yes,” Qing Su reassured, “you personally shouldn’t be caught in the tribulation, so don’t worry too much.”
“But I have so many junior brothers and sisters—sigh!”
Guilingling sighed in a tone far beyond her years:
“They say the youngest is always the most cherished, but I’m the youngest of the eight senior disciples, and Master doesn’t favor the most either.
“I still have to worry about them… A single cry of ‘Senior Sister’ binds us for a lifeti of feeling!”
Qing Su squinted with a smile.
Just as she was about to speak, her willow-like brows lightly arched as she glanced at a nearby girl approaching with tea snacks.
Qing Su released a trace of immortal power, condensed into a fine needle, and gently poked Guilingling.
“Ah! Qing Qing, stop ssing around—it tickles so much!”
Qing Su: …never mind.
She appeared to close her eyes for ditation, her cascading black hair sprawling across the water’s surface, resembling the divine beauty of a water deity.
The girl kneeling beside the pool gently dipped her fingers into the water, a faintly eerie smile forming on her lips.
Suddenly, Qing Su flashed with Ice Blue Immortal Light, pure and potent immortal power rippling outward, instantaneously freezing the pool and immobilizing everyone nearby!
Guilingling had already jumped to Qing Su’s side, raising her Great Turtle Shell as a shield.
The girl holding the tea snacks was frozen in place, her pupils trembling as her eyes rolled back, leaving only whites visible. Her gaze emitted a disturbing purple light as dense inner Heavenly Dao energy shot out.
The Great Turtle Shell radiated intense immortal power but failed to block the purple beam!
Ahng—
A sudden dragon’s roar erupted!
A sword sheath appeared before Qing Su, unleashing nine golden dragons that encircled Qing Su and Guilingling protectively.
Xuanyuan Sword Sheath, Human Emperor Dragon Qi!
The purple beam dissolved like snow under sunlight, with a wisp of Human Emperor Dragon Qi being diminished.
Subsequently, the Enlightennt Pool returned to calm.
“Inner Heavenly Dao!”
Guilingling exclaid in alarm.
Qing Su nodded faintly, her gaze sweeping across the surroundings.
In a corner of Dong’an City, a female immortal lowered her head as she entered a magical artifact shop, a flash of purple light flickering in her eyes.
After so contemplation, Qing Su dispatched a Jade Talisman.
Within monts, Dong’an City was placed under full lockdown.
Li Dazhi heard about Qing Su’s encounter with an Inner Heavenly Dao attack and imdiately rushed to Dong’an with a large team of elders, incidentally summoning high-ranking mbers of the Eastern Alliance.
Good heavens, Li Dazhi couldn’t stop marveling at the situation.
His son had just ventured to the Chaos Sea to seek Zixiao Palace—if sothing were to happen to Qing Su… it would likely ignite the first instance of Heavenly Emperor’s wrath in New Heavenly Court’s history…
“The Inner Heavenly Dao is already targeting people around Ping’an?”
Li Dazhi fretted inwardly.
The fragnted Inner Heavenly Dao divinities were like venomous snakes lying in wait, impossible to strike yet exceedingly dangerous.
When Li Dazhi arrived at Dong’an City, Tianli Elder had already led a group of experts to the scene.
Unfortunately, by the ti they arrived, the enemy had disappeared without a trace, wasting significant manpower and resources.
The attendant disciples frozen by Qing Su’s ice seal were unhard, except for the girl affected by the Inner Heavenly Dao’s corruption—she remained comatose and required a period of recovery.
…
“Your Majesty, Zixiao Palace lies directly ahead.”
Jade Pool’s gentle voice awakened the ditative Li Ping’an.
Already?
The Zixiao Palace wasn’t as far from the Main World of the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth as he’d thought.
Li Ping’an smiled warmly at Jade Pool in gratitude, then gazed ahead at the floating seven-colored auspicious clouds within the Chaos Sea.
The clouds churned endlessly, faintly revealing the corner of a pavilion’s lofty eaves.
The Roc Bird spread its wings, circling toward the pavilion’s front face. Li Ping’an and Jade Pool rose together as the majestic and expansive Zixiao Palace gradually erged before their eyes.
Its height was indeterminate—perhaps tens of thousands of miles, or perhaps rely a humble shrine beyond mundane city gates;
Its colors seed comprised of countless shades, yet appeared naturally unified, a single glance revealing only solemn muted tones.
The interior seed to contain worlds; the palace teed with the essence of the Great Dao.
rely approaching this grand structure left Li Ping’an feeling invigorated—his Dao heart rippling with waves of enlightennt.
Jade Pool reminded, “Soon we’ll reach its gates—wait for the teacher’s summons.”
Li Ping’an nodded in agreent.
Then, suddenly, he bit the tip of his tongue, as his Primordial Spirit retrieved a divine needle, stabbing it into the spirit’s foot…
Don’t question his tears;
He loved this world passionately.
Jade Pool tilted her head slightly, her dignified and beautiful face displaying a few question marks, while Li Ping’an let out a long wail, shouting toward the interior of Zixiao Palace:
“Grandmaster! Granduncle Master! Great-Uncle Master!
“Your disciple has been shalessly bullied!”
