945: Chapter 329: Dazhi versus Golden Crow_3 945: Chapter 329: Dazhi versus Golden Crow_3 ——The outline has already taken shape, or a few pillars have risen.
The main architectural divisions of the Heavenly Court are also more or less determined.
Now, by virtue of Li Ping’an’s exploration, he only needs to pay ten tis the innate rit consud during the formation of these Immortal Palaces on the Spirit Platform, and prepare high-quality materials for the treasure halls in accordance with their style and scale, to relocate these ‘Heavenly Dao Divine Authority Halls’ from the Spirit Platform.
This ans he needs to slowly accumulate rit.
This Daoist Luya opens his mouth asking for the Heaven Emperor’s Seal?
What does he want to do by wielding the power of Heavenly Dao?
Li Ping’an imdiately thought of Mo Linyuan’s previous report and a ridiculous idea surfaced in his mind.
Could it be that Daoist Luya is searching for the ancient Heavenly Dao?
As Taoist Hongjun once told Houtu, there is an inner and outer aspect to the Heavenly Dao…
Does the currently operating Heavenly Dao still contain a residual ancient Heavenly Dao within?
That is to say, the inner Heavenly Dao might still bear the residual marks or even souls of ancient Heavenly Emperors and Heavenly Consorts such as Emperor Jun, Xihe, and Wangshu?
Li Ping’an suddenly rembered sothing else.
When he resisted becoming a Heaven Slave, the Heavenly Dao also showed him a ‘first-person perspective’ scene.
It was an image of Emperor Jun and Xihe reveling in joy within the Splendid Pool, and the breeding ceremony of Golden Crow Clan was quite long…
Li Ping’an’s mouth twitched slightly.
Was the Heavenly Dao hinting at the existence of the inner Heavenly Dao at that ti?
He had always thought that the Heavenly Dao was telling him that if he followed it, the most beautiful won of the Desolate Era would be his concubines, free to indulge in joy.
Well, that was a misunderstanding.
Li Ping’an shook his head, just about to remind his father to categorically refuse Daoist Luya, but before he could speak, Daoist Luya’s puppet emissary stood up with a cold snort.
“Why is Daoist friend silent now!”
“Ah, this,” Li Dazhi clicked his tongue, “If the Heaven Emperor’s Seal is lent to Daoist friend, wouldn’t that be equivalent to making Daoist friend temporarily the Heavenly Emperor?
What is Daoist friend thinking, to bring it up so casually?”
Daoist Luya’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Is Daoist Friend implying a refusal?
If that’s the case, This Poor Daoist will just go to Mount Spirit myself!”
Li Dazhi sighed: “Daoist friend, please heed my advice, you already bear many sins, and the entire Western Sect is already struggling to protect itself, what can you do if you go there?
If the Western Sect could assist you, I’d take off my head and let you use it as a ball to kick.”
Daoist Luya, originally turning to leave, now spun back around and sneered at Li Dazhi.
He said, “Does Daoist friend know what conditions the Calamity Sovereign offered ?”
“You won’t tell,” Li Dazhi said with a forced smile, “If you were to reveal the Calamity Sovereign’s plan, I’m afraid that the Calamity Sovereign himself would hunt you down, how could you compete with the Calamity Sovereign?”
“This Poor Daoist cannot defeat him?”
Daoist Luya’s puppet suddenly laughed:
“Yet This Poor Daoist does not wish to reveal this matter so readily, the precious treasure of This Poor Daoist, a sche of the Western Sect that spans a hundred thousand years, if this matter succeeds, the New Heavenly Court will be nothing but sothing we hold in our pocket.
“Do better to ask the new Heavenly Emperor, whether he lends the Heaven Emperor’s Seal or not, This Poor Daoist assures you, it’s rely for my personal use.”
“This truly cannot be lent even a bit.”
“Then, farewell!”
Daoist Luya’s puppet flicked its sleeve, a lotus of fire erged at its chest which then swiftly expanded, engulfing the whole puppet, leaving nothing but so ashes drifting down.
Li Dazhi chuckled: “This fellow is just a bit too proud, but not really foolish, thinking he could trick so information about the Western Sect’s subsequent plans.”
Xing He just smiled.
“Sigh, ti to go back and have a al with my son and daughter-in-law!”
…
On the other side, Li Ping’an opened his eyes, looking at the Heaven Emperor’s Seal on the Spirit Platform, a sliver of enlightennt arose in his heart.
He needs to find a way to gather more rit to fully solidify the Heaven Emperor’s Seal sooner.
‘In these years a large amount of rit has been repaid to the Jie Sect as debts, there’s still a need to save at least a hundred years’ worth of Heavenly Dao rit to distribute to the Heavenly Court mbers, indeed too little has been poured into the Heaven Emperor’s Seal.’
Li Ping’an’s thoughts moved, he raised his hand and made a gesture in front of him, unveiling a painting.
The few female immortals at the feast, including Zi Yao Xianzi, who had just arrived dressed up for the Li family banquet, curiously looked at Li Ping’an’s new contrivance.
This painting bears the title on the left, “Record of Heavenly Court’s Mountain Gods and River Gods.”
Unfolding the painting, there are three rows; top, middle, and bottom, each inch contains a square, within each square a rough outline of a small world, and the figures of n, won, elderly, and children.
The first two, naturally, are the Mountain Gods Tian Hu and Lai Fa, who were first recruited by the Heavenly Court to guard the Misty Realm.
The following twenty Mountain Gods and River Gods spread across twenty small worlds in the northwest direction, contributing outstandingly to maintaining local order and providing rit for the Heavenly Court.
Li Ping’an would also assess them, and those with outstanding ability would be promoted into the Heavenly Court as official deities.
Li Ping’an pondered carefully, his gaze landing on the empty squares.
‘Further expanding the Heavenly Court’s influence outward to a total of thirty-six seems a good plan.’
‘But defences for the small worlds is a major problem, upon refining Mountain Gods and incorporating them into the Heavenly Court’s incense system, attacks and chaos caused by demonic creatures from the Western Sect, it always feels like our side would suffer heavy losses.’
‘Still, we can’t rush…
If the small worlds’ congregation plan could be successfully promoted, wouldn’t these issues be easily resolved?’
Li Ping’an pondered for a mont, thinking it a good opportunity to discuss with his father how they might persuade the Dragon Clan to take on so laborious tasks.
Just then, an immortal soldier ca to report from outside.
“Your Majesty!
Ying Dragon of the Dragon Clan requests an audience!”
