855: Chapter 299 Battle is about to ignite 855: Chapter 299 Battle is about to ignite “Jie Sect strikes the West, and they barely make a peep.”
Li Ping’an reviewed the gains from this trip in his heart and felt his path as a cultivator flowed more smoothly.
Having a strong fist really does wonders.
On this trip to Ling Mountain, there were three small sches and one grand sche.
The success or failure of the small sches wouldn’t affect the big picture.
Firstly, even after lifting Ling Mountain, they were unable to find the whereabouts of Xing Tian, which temporarily ruled out the possibility that Xing Tian was hidden there.
Secondly, they marked the disciples of the Western Sect.
From now on, whenever these individuals appeared within a certain range, the Heavenly Dao would send an alert.
Thirdly, they forced the Western Sect to take a stand and annoy the Calamity Honored One.
How could the Western Sect possibly hand over their Great General?
Even if they set a deadline for the Western Sect, it would just be an annoyance for them.
The grand sche of this trip was to hang a sword nad Jie Sect above the head of the Western Sect, ensuring that their future actions would not be as reckless as this ti.
This was the key.
“In this era of Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth, no matter how tis change, being strong is the ultimate rule.”
Li Ping’an felt a sense of helplessness welling up inside.
What could he do?
Even if he used all the thods of borrowing power from the Heavenly Dao, he was still no match for Xuanyuan Huangdi in a fight;
But being as strong as Xuanyuan Huangdi also ant being trapped by the Great Sects, caught in a difficult situation.
If he had a treasure that could take him hundreds of years into the future, he would certainly skip ahead after establishing a stable frawork for the developnt of the Heavenly Court to avoid so disasters and tribulations.
Above the clouds, Taoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, and Guilingling were gathered, fiddling with so miniature Lotus Dais, lotus seeds, and lotus blossoms.
Clearly, Taoist Duobao was dividing the spoils amongst his junior brother and sisters.
“Ping’an?”
The Tongtian Sect Leader turned his head and asked, “What is the karma burden of our Jie Sect?
With the Heavenly secrets in disarray, I can only see the Western Sect that you have announced.”
Li Ping’an pondered for a mont, then pulled up a complete ranking of karma and rits of the Great Sects, copied it onto a Jade Talisman, and offered it to the Tongtian Sect Leader with both hands.
Upon receiving it, the Tongtian Sect Leader’s figure beca shrouded in shadows as he sat in silence for a long ti.
Zi Yao Xianzi’s eyes filled with curiosity.
She clearly wanted to look but wasn’t sure how to ask; she thought she might seek out Li Ping’an in private later.
“Great Master Nephew!”
Guilingling ran over happily and shoved two lotus seeds into Li Ping’an’s hands.
“These are good stuff!
Keep them!
They were given to by our eldest senior brother!”
Li Ping’an examined the lotus seeds closely, and in his heart, the Artifact Spirit of the Myriad Manifestation Chart exclaid in shock, “Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus seeds!”
“Huh?” Li Ping’an glared at Guilingling, “Where did you get these?”
“Inside Ling Mountain, of course!”
Guilingling chuckled, “Eldest senior brother is really amazing!
There were several hidden treasuries in Ling Mountain, and eldest senior brother went around each one!”
Taoist Duobao laughed, “There’s one thing they did not lie about: they really are poor.
Such a grand Great Sect, and the Sect Leader’s domain had only over a hundred treasures, all of which were re scraps of tal and broken iron.”
Li Ping’an relaxed a bit.
From Taoist Duobao’s tone, it seed they hadn’t taken too much.
Searching was one thing, but looting was another; if that news spread, it would sound rather unsightly.
However, Taoist Duobao’s next words were:
“But then I thought, these fellows have always been claiming how poor they are, so I decided to just help them out.”
Li Ping’an’s elbow slipped off his knee.
He felt as if he could hear the cries from the Western Sect growing louder.
Taoist Duobao laughed, “Heavenly Emperor needn’t worry.
Considering the sordid deeds the Western Sect has done, burning down their Ling Mountain wouldn’t even be excessive.
By the way, this is your first ti eting with your uncle Gongming.
You two should get to know each other.”
Zhao Gongming turned around and stroked his beard while looking at Li Ping’an.
This chief external disciple of the Jie Sect inherently exuded a sense of stability and reliability.
He had previously taken the lead in pressuring the Western Sect, and his dignity was palpable.
Li Ping’an stood up and gave a Daoist salute, “Today, I’m thankful for the help from Uncle Gongming and the other senior uncles.
I’ve finally vented so of my frustration.”
Zhao Gongming stood up and returned the salute, stating seriously, “Heavenly Emperor need not be so polite.
Firstly, we are beings of this world, and having so cultivation, it’s a righteous and good deed to support the rising Heavenly Court.
Secondly, with the Jie Sect facing its own tribulation, it’s our duty as disciples to share so of the Sect Leader’s burdens.”
Li Ping’an smiled, “If the Western Sect could possess even a fraction of your integrity, Uncle, this world would be much more peaceful.”
Zhao Gongming asked, “When does Your Majesty plan to establish the New Heavenly Court?”
“The establishnt is not urgent.”
Li Ping’an spoke earnestly,
“The main world is quite crowded as it is, and even if I placed a few Immortal Palaces up in the sky, the dignity of the Heavenly Court could not be upheld.
Instead, it might give the thieves a chance to sha the Heavenly Court.
“Therefore, the plan my father has set for the Heavenly Court is to first develop our power, increase the incense offerings under the protection of the Heavenly Court, and protect more beings.
Once we have built up enough strength, we can then discuss establishing the Heavenly Court.”
“I see,” Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and murmured, “Your father’s strategy is indeed sound.”
Li Ping’an smiled, “May I ask where Uncle Gongming usually cultivates?”
“My dwelling is on Mount Ei,” Zhao Gongming pointed in a certain direction at the center of heaven and earth, “Southeast from Kunlun Mountain.
There are many dwellings established by ancient Immortals there, not far from Zhenyuan Daxian’s abode.”
“If I’m free later, I’ll surely visit Uncle Gongming’s dwelling.”
“Co anyti,” Zhao Gongming laughed, “I have a few good wines collected from previous primordial gatherings, not even the eldest senior brother gets a taste.”
Taoist Duobao frowned, “Didn’t you say you’d finished them?”
