’The teacher wouldn’t have such emotions.’
’Based on the information currently in hand, East Emperor Taiyi might be the subordinate of the teacher. He helped Emperor Jun establish the Ancient Heavenly Court, and when the Ancient Heavenly Court collapsed, he fought against various Ancestral Witches.’
’Records of the Human Race’s classics, perspectives from the Dragon Clan as observers, and the experiences of the Witch Clan depict the ancient battle differently, which is normal. Each perspective occupies different positions and has different considerations—the Human Race exaggerates the achievents of various Human Race experts, and Houtu also takes into account the face of the Witch Clan.’
’But the current issue is, as the Nine-tailed Fox ntions, seventeen to eighteen thousand years ago, East Emperor Taiyi’s incarnation took her as a disciple. What is East Emperor Taiyi plotting again?’
’Should I go and ask the teacher? Now, standing in opposition to the teacher, directly asking might provoke the teacher to act against .’
Li Ping’an clicked his tongue lightly.
Currently, he was becoming more and more interested in the Nine-tailed Fox’s story.
About to arrive at the Heavenly Court, a small lightning bolt suddenly flashed through Li Ping’an’s mind.
There was a question he had overlooked.
Where did the body of East Emperor Taiyi end up?
According to Houtu’s mory, East Emperor Taiyi’s fall occurred before Emperor Jun’s demise. East Emperor Taiyi’s body was left behind, though it was full of scars and unbearable to look at.
Emperor Jun’s remains were absorbed into the illusionary realm of the Heavenly Dao.
Yet, East Emperor Taiyi’s body and remaining soul disappeared, and no one ntioned it afterward.
"Ah, a new clue."
...
"East Emperor’s body?"
The Eastern King, sitting beside the throne in the Lingxiao Hall, bowed his head, calculating with his fingers, and explained:
"It’s hard to say for certain; the battle back then was sowhat chaotic.
"The Ancient Heavenly Court crashed into the ground, creating the Ruins of Heaven. East Emperor’s body might have fallen there. In the late ancient period, various celestial corpses and witch corpses often appeared in the Ruins of Heaven, provoking competition among various Qi Cultivators.
"When East Emperor Taiyi fell, the Heavenly Court was still in chaos."
Li Ping’an nodded slowly: "The Nine-tailed Fox over there, have you probed, Eastern King?"
"Your Majesty, it’s only been a short ti; I’ve just found this Hundred Clans expert called Cuihua."
The Eastern King smiled wryly:
"Your Majesty, you really love to play around.
"Such a beautiful woman, yet you give her such a common na."
"Ha, common nas are good; with so humor, they prevent any fanciful thoughts about her."
Li Ping’an raised an eyebrow lightly, then shared his findings with the Eastern King, not hiding the images seen in Emperor Jun’s mory.
The Eastern King calculated for half an hour.
He said: "Your Majesty, there is a problem with East Emperor Taiyi’s origins; he is highly likely a pawn of the Transcender."
"Then do you think, Eastern King, is there a chance for us to understand so secrets of the Chaos Bell through this clue?"
"There’s certainly a possibility," the Eastern King laughed, "though the hope is sowhat slim."
"What does the Eastern King think of the Nine-tailed Fox?"
Li Ping’an said:
"This old fox is very cunning; she mixes truth and falsehood in what she says to .
"The most misleading lies are ’nine truths and one falsehood,’ starting with things that resonate and can be confird, then sneaking in a lie.
"She is an expert in this art."
The Eastern King said slowly: "I’m just beginning to pay attention to her; if she harbors any secrets, they should have nothing to do with the Chaos Bell."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"The Chaos Bell is one of three supre treasures ford by the Open Heaven Axe. Any clues that might link to the Chaos Bell would draw the frenzy of Sect Hierarch-level and Saint-level experts."
The Eastern King said slowly:
"She, a Great One Golden Immortal sealed by East Emperor Taiyi, what qualification does she have to establish a connection with the Chaos Bell?
"I understand. Your Majesty might wonder if East Emperor Taiyi left anything for her."
Li Ping’an sighed: "The Eastern King truly understands ."
"Then let’s test her," the Eastern King said seriously, "Your Majesty, this must be done secretly. Don’t let the Six Saints know, lest they believe you have clues to the Chaos Bell."
Li Ping’an spread his hands helplessly: "The Chaos Bell isn’t that easy to find. Now, either Hongjun or my Transcender Teacher holds it."
The Eastern King said: "Actually, there’s another lifeform linked to the Chaos Bell."
"Maitreya?"
"Indeed," the Eastern King said, "Maitreya has not appeared now; his understanding of the Chaos Bell should have been known by Jie Yin and Zhunti."
"Zhunti wouldn’t overlook such high-level treasure."
Li Ping’an nodded slowly:
"We can’t get this information source for now, so let’s not think about it.
"Let’s research the Nine-tailed Fox; what if East Emperor Taiyi really left her sothing?
"First, summon Niu Benben and Cailin."
"Yes, I’ll send them a ssage."
The Eastern King turned, lips moving slightly, the Eight Trigrams Plate spinning gently behind him.
Then, the Eastern King turned and asked: "How does Your Majesty plan to test the Nine-tailed Fox?"
"Isn’t this sothing you should figure out, Eastern King?"
"I haven’t had ti to think yet," the Eastern King said with a smile, "It’s best if you handle this personally, Your Majesty; I’ll keep my distance from such won."
Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched slightly.
How could he not understand the implication in the Eastern King’s words?
"I wish I could be direct, just examine the Nine-tailed Fox’s mory."
Li Ping’an said outright:
"But acting against her, I’m afraid she’ll destroy her own mory. Experts of this level can already accomplish this.
"If you have a way, say so, Eastern King. I’m really not adept at this sort of thing; I have no interest in the Nine-tailed Fox. Even if I feel romantic desires and want to take a consort in the future, I’ll consider a Human Race fairy."
"Okay, then I have a plan, to present to Your Majesty!"
"Speak."
