Chapter 1358: Chapter 486: Voice Transmission

“Master…”

The old Artifact Spirit of the Heavenly Work Diagram pondered for a moment with a troubled expression, then whispered:

“From the perspective of an Artifact Spirit, merely using merit as bait would probably make it difficult to reel them in.”

Li Ping’an chuckled and said, “Do you have any good ideas? What do treasures like the Twelve-Petaled Red Lotus and the Sword of Abi prefer?”

The old Artifact Spirit laughed bitterly, “Master, you overestimate this old servant. The old master did record various treasures of the world, but for treasures like the Twelve-Petaled Red Lotus and the Sword of Abi, he was indeed powerless. It’s just assumed that such treasures are unlikely to be interested in the merit of the Heavenly Dao.”

“The Sword of Abi is actually easier to catch. I already possess one supreme treasure of the Slaughter Path.”

Li Ping’an spoke softly:

“The ancestor Minghe is constantly being beaten below. The moment he dies and is reborn, his control over the Slaughter Path will surely stall. That’s when I’ll seize the opportunity to snatch the sword.

“The difficult one is that Red Lotus.

“Minghe being able to constantly reincarnate in the Sea of Blood is presumably thanks to this Red Lotus. If I could extract the Red Lotus in advance,”

The old Artifact Spirit suddenly realized, “You intend to sever Minghe’s connection to the Sea of Blood this way?”

“That’s part of the thought,” Li Ping’an advised, “Keep watch here for a while and call out to me when Minghe dies for the third time.”

“Yes,” the old Artifact Spirit agreed with a bow, and Li Ping’an closed his eyes to concentrate.

Above the Sea of Blood, the heavenly soldiers and immortal soldiers, as well as the Qi cultivators gathered there, all glanced in Li Ping’an’s direction.

The Heavenly Emperor fishes in the Sea of Blood;

Houtu contemplates the Great Dao;

Today’s events will certainly not be as simple as Minghe’s beheading.

…

Along the line connecting the main world and the Xuan Capital City, a beam of golden light was speeding through.

Li Ping’an’s war body and the Holy Mother Gui Ling sat together within the golden feathers on the back of the Roc Bird.

The Holy Mother Gui Ling was very stable, falling into a deep sleep as soon as they entered the void, a small bubble of snot already forming in front of her nose.

Li Ping’an’s war body frowned slightly, his mind circulating, and he transmitted:

“Roc, there’s no need to fly too quickly, I need some rest.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The Roc Bird responded, slowing its speed by eighty percent, and transmitted with a laugh:

“Your Majesty, don’t push yourself too hard, the Heavenly Court has already won greatly in the battle at the Sea of Blood, and I heard through Divine Skills that many human ministers are secretly praising you as brave and mighty, saying you are the future pillar of the Human Race.

“Over in Xuan Capital City, ninety percent of the Da Luo Golden Immortals and Great One Golden Immortals in the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth have rushed there. If they still cannot resist Kunpeng, the Heavenly Court can do little.”

Li Ping’an chuckled, then suddenly transmitted a question:

“Roc, I remember this body of yours is also a war body, with your true form still in the Heavenly Court?”

The Roc Bird responded, “Yes, Your Majesty, this war body was left to me by my mother, its strength surpasses my true form greatly. I plan to let the war body and the true form merge when the war body is severely injured and undergoes Nirvana.”

“You’ve learned the Nirvana Divine Power?”

“Your Majesty… the Nirvana Divine Power is a gift from my mother, who specifically instructed me to pass it only to the Phoenix Clan, or a son-in-law of the Phoenix Clan…”

Li Ping’an couldn’t help but laugh: “Could your mother truly want to pair me with the Peacock Fairy?”

“My sister transforming into a woman was also my mother’s idea.”

The Roc Bird hummed softly, seemingly hesitating whether to report some matters.

Li Ping’an gently said, “You needn’t worry. Just say whatever you wish to say.”

“My mother said a lot back then, and she was very disappointed in my sister. Originally, she wanted my sister to explore the supreme mysteries within chaos, but my sister trapped herself within the so-called ancestral land, guarding my mother’s corpse.”

The Roc sighed softly:

“The soul of the Phoenix Clan lies in soaring freely, in the pursuit of freedom.

“Therefore, my mother gave the most important Dao Body to Kunpeng rather than to my sister.

“My sister was quite despondent because of this.”

Li Ping’an said, “I also think the Primordial Phoenix senior acted somewhat inappropriately. Did she want Kunpeng to be free? Yet Kunpeng has now caused such trouble, how many living beings in the Vast Wilderness Heaven and Earth must suffer due to him.”

The Roc replied, “Kunpeng is like that, he does not care about the life or death of living beings.”

“Did your mother mention Hongjun and the Transcenders to you?”

“This… I don’t know if I should say it.”

“Just say it.”

“My mother said, this world is beyond saving, and it is best to find a way to escape early.”

The Roc transmitted:

“The power of the Dao Body left by my mother allows breakthrough of the extreme speed limits of the Chaos Sea. If the world perishes, with full force, I have hope to escape and take the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline with me.

“My mother’s arrangement was, this war body of yours is to continue the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline with my sister, and I am responsible for fleeing with the Phoenix Egg.”

“In fact, Kunpeng can already leave the Desolate Era and return to being a Chaos Creature, but his ambition is truly too great; his uprising today is definitely not just for avenging the three human royals.”

“My mother did not mention Hongjun directly.”

“But she said, the chess players in this world are all untrustworthy, the Phoenix Clan should just leave on its own.”

“The statement that all chess players are untrustworthy is indeed quite truthful.”

Li Ping’an smiled:

“I am actually very puzzled; they obviously hold the power to destroy the world, yet they go through all the trouble plotting.

“Is it truly so amusing to toy with all beings at their fingertips?”

The Roc replied, “Your Majesty, this is probably what is called the desire for power.”

“Desire for power, does Hongjun have it too? Isn’t he seeking transcendence?”

Li Ping’an murmured under his breath.

He subconsciously glanced at the Spirit Platform of his war body, ensuring that the Heavenly Patrol Mirror and Xuantian Tower had both been summoned to his main body before casually casting a spell, sealing his Spirit Platform with the Golden Crow Clan’s Secret Technique.

His main Primordial Spirit formed a hand seal, using immortal power to coalesce into a bright mirror, then using immortal power to form dozens of ‘photos’ to stick onto the mirror.
