Chapter 1394: Chapter 498: Reunion with the Spirit in the Coffin (Part 3)

Li Ping’an stretched lazily: “They’ll soon remember who the real target of the main tribulation is, and as for me, I simply want to enhance my strength, not evade the Dao Immortal Tribulation.”

Guilingling tilted her head.

Ningning Mu realized: “I remember at first it was said my father-in-law is a Great Fate Holder, destined for the Dao Immortal Tribulation, isn’t it?”

Li Ping’an chuckled: “I’m just helping father attract some attention. In the coming centuries, father will also be reclusive.”

Guilingling sighed in relief: “In that case, I’m reassured! You are closing off for training for only three to five hundred years, and it’ll pass as quickly as a nap!”

“No sleeping,” Qing Su said softly, “you have to accompany me in studying Chaos Creatures.”

“Qing Qing, why are you studying that stuff?”

“To develop a recipe.”

“Ugh,” Guilingling’s face was filled with disdain, and several female immortals began chatting and laughing.

Li Ping’an intended to join their conversation when suddenly he felt intermittent sensations from deep within.

It seemed… a trace of his Primordial Spirit…

Little Crab?

Li Ping’an’s spirits lifted, and he immediately conveyed to the Roc Bird to fly faster, then closed his eyes to concentrate.

The immortals assumed he might have gained some cultivation insight, so their chatter turned into collective voice transmissions.

The closer he got to Xuan Capital City, the clearer the sensation became.

That Little Crab, hosting the third strand of Li Ping’an’s sub-Primordial Spirit, had previously been placed on Mount Lingjiu. When the Transcender left, he took Mount Lingjiu away from afar, causing Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit strand to lose contact with the main body.

‘Is the Transcender Teacher’s location not far from Xuan Capital City?’

Li Ping’an mused to himself, shifting his focus to the warrior form and awakening the injured main Primordial Spirit.

An hour later, Li Ping’an could faintly perceive some blurred scenes through the Little Crab.

It seemed to be a secret realm within the Chaos Sea, with a low-hanging sky and an indistinct land, clouds and fog swirling all around, yet there was a clear order here.

Mount Lingjiu was suspended within this secret realm.

“Oh?”

A light laugh was heard, followed by Li Ping’an feeling a tap on his head.

The world before his eyes swiftly cleared up, his mind slightly stirring, as a phantom drifted from the Little Crab, and his consciousness switched over to this place.

The spirit within the coffin, maintaining the appearance of Wang Ri Old Man, stood before him, smiling.

“You arrived quite swiftly; I thought you wouldn’t come for years. What’s this, were you provoked by the Kunpeng incident, prompting a desperate urge to strengthen yourself?”

Li Ping’an cupped his hands in a Daoist salute:

“I request the teacher to teach me skills!”

“No problem, no problem,” the spirit within the coffin said leisurely, “first settle down in Xuan Capital City. I’ll compress your lessons a bit, aiming for you to become a great expert between heaven and earth before the return of the Six Saints!”

“Thank you, teacher!”

Li Ping’an said earnestly, and then his tone shifted:

“By the way, teacher, how is Hongjun now? Did you subdue him?”

“Subdued.”

The spirit within the coffin nodded:

“I don’t intend to deceive you.

“I’ve arranged for Hongjun to cause trouble in this world, striving to minimize the Heavenly Dao’s gains in the Dao Immortal Tribulation.

“This way, it prevents the Heavenly Dao from achieving transcendence, competing with me for the Source of Heaven and Earth’s remnants.”

Li Ping’an nodded: “The teacher has your calculations; the disciple won’t concern himself with this matter.”

“No problem,” the spirit within the coffin laughed, “if viewed separately, before the destruction of heaven and earth, you and I share a pure master-disciple relationship; we can compete in our respective stances without concern. I’m teaching you skills so you can transcend with me; after the destruction of heaven and earth, you and I can be as close as family.”

Li Ping’an nodded with a smile: “Thank you, teacher, for your understanding.”

The spirit within the coffin gave a slight raise of the eyebrow: “Go on, I’ve arranged for someone to meet you; you can find him once you’re out of Xuan Capital City.”

“Teacher, the disciple still has some questions.”

“Ask when you get here,” the spirit within the coffin waved, “the person I’ve arranged should be able to answer most of your inquiries. For those he can’t answer, I won’t tell you either; it’s pointless to ask.”

“Alright,” Li Ping’an replied straightforwardly, “Then teacher, please rest, and I’ll come as soon as I can.”

“Also, bring the Ancestral Witch’s essence blood that Houtu gave you; your main body’s combat ability is lower than your warrior form, which isn’t ideal for performing the Nirvana Technique.”

Li Ping’an was slightly taken aback.

This teacher truly knows everything.

“Alright, the disciple understands.”
