Chapter 1263: Saint Emperor Treads on the Crossroads

Although it looked like there was nothing mysterious about the pond. But instinct told Slate that there should be some secret hidden here.

Slate slowly walked to the edge of the pond, and the clear water reflected the scholar’s appearance. It made him slightly stunned.

And then shook his head, but changed his appearance in an instant.

“I’m a bit curious as to what exactly you originally looked like.” Faceless Saint Emperor Li Ping said from behind him.

“Hehe, I can’t remember much myself.” Slate smiled to himself.

Then he carefully observed the pond.

The pond wasn’t deep, and it was easy to see at a glance.

“Hmm?”

Slate observed for a long time, did not find the mystery of the pond, can not help but a little doubt their own judgment up.

Turning his head to look at Li Ping.

Li Ping, however, did not explain for him, but suddenly asked as if he had a point: “Before the great catastrophe of the Xuanhuang Realm, there were many immortal treasures that existed. Now that more than ten thousand years have passed, all of these treasures have long since disappeared without a trace. The existence of Immortal Artifacts has also become a legend, and even cultivators will rarely mention them in their casual conversations.”

“Do you know anything about the whereabouts of these Immortal Treasures?”

Slate’s face remained unchanged: “Immortal Weapons? I’ve never cared about ……”

Halfway through his sentence, he seemed to realize something and fiercely looked at the fishing pond once again.

After a moment of contemplation, his appearance changed once again.

The old fisherman father, clad in a straw raincoat and carrying a fish basket, suddenly appeared in front of Li Ping.

A flash of green light in his hand, the fisherman father look-alike stone plate, threw out the fishing rod.

The next moment, his body froze violently.

Without reeling in the rod, Slate stood still straight in place, as if he was frozen.

It was only after a long time that he took a step back and detached himself from the illusion before him.

“What was that?” Slate stared straight at Li Ping.

“What is what?” The Holy Emperor asked knowingly.

“A fish pond? The starry sky?” Slate continued to press the question.

Li Ping shook his head slightly, “That’s [bait].”

“Bait?” Slate inexplicably froze.

“He who fishes, is also fished.” Li Ping’s tone was cold.

“Even if you, Taoist friend, see the treasures of the entire starry sky, you will not be moved. But what if it involves your path to liberation? Can you still be so calm?” Li Ping’s tone was ghostly.

Slate had already survived in the Xuan Huang Realm for too long and had seen too many things.

Therefore, after hearing Li Ping’s words and pondering for a moment, he quickly understood what he meant.

“With the Immortal Road broken, the Xuan Huang Outer Star Sea, should have long been a ruin. Unless ……,” clarity flashed in Slate’s eyes.

“What, you want to go out and take a look too?” Li Ping asked.

Slate denied, “The world is much the same. Even if it is another world, what can it be? I just want to remove that heavy stone from my back and get a good night’s sleep.”

His topic returned to the fishing pond once again, “I’m not sure when this thing came to the Xuan Huang Realm. But it’s certain that it was after the Great Tribulation.”

“To be more precise, it was after the reappearance of the Transmission Method and the creation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”

The Sacred Emperor then spoke a bit more clearly, “That is to say, this fishing pond was most likely accompanied by the debris from the other Immortal Cultivation Realms and implanted into the Xuanhuang Realm along with it.”

“That should be the case …… but the treasures of the Immortal Dao have already transcended our perceptions. It can’t be guaranteed either.” Slate left room for doubt.

“The way of liberation you said, could it be that you are asking me to bite this bait?” Slate looked at the Holy Emperor with a somewhat odd expression.

Li Ping said frankly, “Exactly. Doesn’t Fellow Daoist feel ten thousand pains? You and the Creation Slate are fused into one, and under the heavens, I think the only way to separate you from the Slate is to have an Immortal Dao treasure that surpasses the upper limit of power in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.”

“As for what happens after being fished away by the power behind the fishing pond. That’s not something I can guarantee.”

Slate was tempted to say, “I have no grudges against you, Taoist friend, so why do you want to inflict harm on me.

But the words stopped at the edge of his mouth.

Obviously, this Faceless Exalted One had no malicious intent. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have directly told the whole plan.

On the contrary, Slate felt that this one in front of him was quite frank.

Moreover, a certain familiar aura of the other party’s body made him feel somewhat at ease as well inexplicably.

“I’m just too tired of living and want to get rid of this tired body. It’s not that I don’t want to live anymore.” Slate politely refused the Holy Emperor’s good intentions.

“If you, Taoist friend, are just, troubled by the information that keeps surfacing from the Creation Slate all the time, then things will be fine.” It was only at this time that Li Ping was able to figure out what was going on.

“Oh?” There was clearly skepticism in the slate’s eyes.

“Do you recognize this object.” Li Ping reached out, and a brilliant blue crystal floated silently in his palm.

“The Dao Transformation Stone, I have known it since. Are you trying to ……” Slate shook his head.

“I’m not hiding it from you, in order to ease the pain, I have also tried various methods. The Tai Yan Sect’s Dao Transformation Divine One secret technique was also tried. However, the Creation Slate is the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao Handle incarnate. The Heavenly Dao is above all else and despises all things. After fusing with me, it is no longer able to tolerate anything else ……”

“That was before. This time is different from the past.” Li Ping, however, directly interrupted Slate’s words.

Slate was slightly stunned.

“Besides, I can also help you.”

As those words were uttered, the aura of the Faceless Saint Emperor changed.

In the sky above the Taoist Temple, wind and clouds gathered. A strange rhythm appeared out of thin air, echoing the Holy Emperor.

The familiar, intimate feeling in Slate’s heart then became more and more obvious.

“You are?!”

Even though he had already lived for tens of thousands of years, he still couldn’t help but lose his voice and exclaim at this moment.

“Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Father?!”

However, he quickly dismissed himself, “No, that’s impossible. And ……”

Slate raised his head and gazed at the sky. The expression shifted from shock to gravity.

The Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Father was in charge of the handle that was independent of and on top of the Creation Slate.

Although the tablet would still have records of his deeds, they were only a few strokes. There were only the vaguest of approximations.

However, at this time, the stone tablet sensed the aura of the Faceless Saint Emperor, which was obviously different from the recorded Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Father.

“The Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Father is in charge of the Jun Heavenly Dao. Although it is inextricably linked to the Heavenly Dao, it is more like a separate entity. But with some sort of enchantment, one can manipulate the laws of the Heavenly Dao as if it were an arm. And this one in front of me ……”

An idea inexplicably arose in Slate’s mind.

“Heavenly Dao Incarnation?”

Although it was a bit unbelievable, it was the most reasonable explanation.

And as if Li Ping had sensed what the stone slab was thinking, he no longer manifested the connection between himself and the Heavenly Dao.

Nor did he directly speak out to explain.

Instead, the topic continued back to before, “With the Dao Transformation Stone helping you to share and sort out the things that are happening in the Xuanhuang Realm, it should make things easier for you.”

“But relying on the Dao Transformation Stone alone isn’t enough.”

Slate’s gaze condensed slightly as he waited for the other party’s next words.

“The Ferrying Sect, you should not be unfamiliar with it, right?” Li Ping asked.

Hearing these three words, Slate’s face was slightly unfavorable.

“The World Viewing God’s Eye of the Duo Er Sect is similar to the Creation Slate. In conjunction with the Endless Paper Man, that Book of the Dodo Sect is equally capable of recording all the things it monitors.”

“The Book of Transmigration, together with the Dao Transformation Stone. It should just barely be able to counteract the side effects of the Creation Tablet. For the rest of those, I think that with the tenacious will that you, Dao Friend, have cultivated for tens of thousands of years, there won’t be much of a problem when it comes to dealing with them.” The Faceless Saint Emperor slowly said.

Slate fell silent, inwardly pondering the feasibility of the other party’s opinion.

“Firstly, this Dao Transformation Stone in Dao Friend’s hand, its quality is somewhat insufficient ……” After a moment, Slate opened his mouth.

“It’s fine, I can find a better one.” The Holy Emperor said directly. The stone board paused, and then continued, “Secondly, the Duoyue Sect was offended by the Transmission of the Law back then, and the entire sect was sealed and hidden without knowing where they were. They were even able to interfere with the perception of heaven and earth because of the technique they practiced [Eternal World Robbery]. Plus, it was Transmission of the Law that struck, so ……”

“I know where they are hiding.” The Holy Emperor said indifferently.

Slate was stunned by this.

“It seems that this one is a little stronger than I thought.”

With the other party’s words having come to this, Slate naturally wouldn’t wriggle out of anything.

“I also ask that you, Fellow Daoist, help me out.” He said sincerely.

Li Ping was equal to this sentence.

“Follow me.”

The figure fluttered, and in an instant had already appeared in the sky.

Slate took a step to follow.

Only leaving behind a puzzled Ou Shangtian.

The conversation between the Holy Emperor and Slate was not heard by him.

Ever since Li Ping pointed to the fishing pond, Ou Shangtian had lost his perception of these two powerhouses.

Until this moment, they left one after the other.

“Wasn’t Master Teacher going to deal with that stone slab? How come you’re not fighting anymore?”

“It wouldn’t be the same as that Earth Vein Ancient Tree that joined our Sacred Dynasty, right?”

Ou Shangtian immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.

At this moment, Li Ping and Slate had already arrived at the seal outside of the Duoyue Sect, where the Dharma was being transmitted.

As he watched Li Ping skillfully dissolve the transmission seal, the doubts in Slate’s heart grew.

“This is a seal left by the Transmission of the Law. Even an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao cannot crack it so easily, right?”

“Or is it that after so many years, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao has recovered to the point where it is strong enough to equalize with Transmission of the Law?”

Li Ping, on the other hand, did not care what Slate thought and led him all the way inside the Dui Yu Sect.

Up the mountain, down the mountain, the endlessly repeating compounds ……

All of them changed rapidly in front of him, and eventually the Great Hall of the Duo Er Sect, surfaced in front of the two of them.

“Go in.”

Slate followed and walked in, only to be sure that this was indeed where the Duo Er Sect had been in the past.

He could feel that the gloomy hall hid countless life-like paper figures.

“They were one of the ten Immortal Dao Sects of the Xuan Huang Realm, enjoying the Immortal Cultivation resources generated by the Xuan Huang Realm. Yet at the time of the calamity, they chose to avoid the world and flee. When really, they are just like those so-called World Viewing God’s Eyes, they can be called Xuan Huang Realm moths.” Li Ping’s words were icy cold, criticizing without mercy.

Slate narrowed his eyes, not agreeing or opposing.

“Eternal Tribulation Constant World, utilizing the world’s tribulation to cultivate. This is originally a technique that is a scourge to heaven and earth. If Heaven and Earth were thriving and there were no tribulations. I’m afraid that these people would also want to make trouble out of it and create a calamity. Such a sect should have been exterminated long ago.” Li Ping continued.

As if he had heard the Holy Emperor’s words, a cold wind blew in the gloomy hall for no apparent reason.

“Thinking that you can escape everything by transforming into a paper man ……”

A golden chain emerged from within the Saint Emperor’s body.

Silently, it violently shot into the dark depths of the great hall.

It was as if the mist was stirred, and the blackness within the great hall of the Dodo Sect undulated like water waves.

Slate surveyed the heel of golden chains, and a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes.

And then inside Li Ping’s body, there seemed to be a golden vortex shadow that was slowly born.

Thousands of chains, following the direction of the vortex rotation, whistled and flew out.

Bang, bang ……

Flying into the darkness, it was like colliding with something, constantly emitting muffled sounds.

The aura on the Saint Emperor was so strong that even Slate had to temporarily take a step back.

Slate couldn’t help but be secretly shocked, “This one’s strength can be quite a bit stronger than the [Everlasting Habitat] in an unusual sense.”

“And ……”

“It seems to be more than just the power of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao.”

Cackling sounds rose and fell in the great hall.

As the golden swirling nebula within the Saint Emperor’s body reversed, the golden chains contracted.

It was also as if there was something in the darkness, bound by the chains, being yanked out hard.

If this scene were to be seen by an ordinary cultivator, he would definitely feel creeped out.

However, there was some rare excitement in Slate’s heart.

When a paper figure with a somewhat frightened face emerged from the darkness, Slate’s eyebrows could not help but raise upwards.

It was this group of guys!

The paper man opened its teeth and claws, still trying to struggle.

The end of the chain that bound him erupted with a dazzling light, and the paper man was suddenly as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was suddenly absent.

Terrified, accompanied by listlessness, the empty paper face was actually able to emerge several different expressions, it was also really somewhat marvelous.

Li Ping reached out and grasped the paper man in his hand.

Around the Holy Emperor, thousands of golden chains continued to fly, and more and more paper people were yanked out of the darkness by him.

The great hall began to shake unsteadily, and even the entire Mountain of the Dodo, seemed to be somewhat precarious.

“Hmph!”

Li Ping fiercely stomped his foot, and a golden circle of light emanated from beneath his foot towards the surroundings.

The space that was originally about to be shattered was as if it was frozen, frozen still.

Li Ping lowered his head, facelessly locking the paper figure in his hand.

With a slight force, a wail suddenly emanated from the paper man in his hand.

“Taoist friend gently, Taoist friend gently ……”

“There is no grievance or enmity, why this poisonous hand ah!”

The paper man no longer pretended to be dead, but said in a hurry.

“Fellow Daoist? You are also worthy?!” Li Ping’s tone was filled with disdain, and his hand once again exerted a slight force.

Incidentally, the thousands of golden chains around him also synchronized to emit a brilliant light.

In the middle of the great hall, the agonizing sounds of the paper people suddenly rose and fell.

“Your Holiness spare your life, Your Holiness spare your life!”

The situation was stronger than the man, so the paper man finally stopped talking tough and begged for mercy.

Li Ping, however, did not stop immediately.

The swirling star cloud kept rotating and collected the chains.

The torture only stopped after all of the Duo Yu Sect paper people were captured in one place.

“This is the ancient and renowned Duo Er Sect?”

Li Ping said in a deep voice as he looked at a mass of paper figures stacked together in front of him.

“When it is not a big name, when it is not ……”

“It’s just to survive.”

Among the wailing of the paper people, there was a voice that was quite unique.
