Chapter 296: The Immortals May Have Hidden the Seed of the Great Dao in This World
The expressions of Shan Yuru and the other two had changed from fear to peace. They were locked up in a nearby prison, where the others who had been affected by the Formless Heavenly Maiden were also imprisoned.
But they were all at peace whenever they were with Hua Jieyu.
Hua Jieyu cannot harm those controlled by the Wuxiang Tiannv, nor can she harbor any ill will towards them. Now that her control slots are full, she poses no threat.
Li Ping discovered everything about the Formless Celestial Maiden by using two Time Crystal Sands.
But as long as a way can be found that can withstand the Formless Celestial Maiden without using the Explanation of Words to control her, then those two Time Crystal Sands will not be a loss.
Because spiritual practice has always been something that cannot be done by others, now there is a way to rely on external forces.
Looking around the empty cell, Hua Jieyu was surprised to find that there were even books here!
She flipped through them casually; they were all popular novels, meant for entertainment.
Then, she asked Li Chimei, "Big brother, did he really challenge the Demon Master?"
She didn't even realize that there was a hint of worry in her tone. In the past, she would never have worried that Pang Ban would lose.
Li Chimei sighed, "I think so."
Hua Jieyu paused for a moment, then asked, "Who will win?"
"If it were before, I would have thought the Demon Master would have won, but now it's hard to say." Li Chimei shook her head. "In terms of cultivation level, Li Ping is only at the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness stage, still far behind the Demon Master."
"But his speed and the quality of his true energy are enough to make up for all of that."
"I could even sense that he was holding back when he fought me."
Hua Jieyu murmured, "But the Demon Master also possesses supernatural powers..."
Li Chimei looked quite pained: "Li Ping has it too! When I fought him, I couldn't even figure out what his immortality ability was all about."
"More importantly, it's his internal energy... I never imagined that such internal energy existed in the world!"
If he hadn't taken that sword strike, he could have maintained his Heavenly Demon form for much longer.
He finally realized what his Heavenly Ghost Divine Power feared: it feared this kind of extremely yang and powerful true energy.
The fact that true qi could actually generate electricity and fire was something Li Chimei couldn't imagine how Li Ping had cultivated.
At this moment, Shan Yuru said, "Or it might be a martial art from another world."
Shan Yuru obtained many of Po Jun's martial arts techniques from the fragments of time in Fengyun, but unfortunately the time was too short and she hadn't mastered them at all.
Facing Li Ping, and with Qin Mengyao and Lang Fanyun watching her with predatory eyes, she was no match for him and ended up in this predicament.
Li Chimei was taken aback: "Is it a martial art like the Snow Blood Claw?"
He obtained the Snow Blood Claw from Zhao Deyan and had only just begun to master it. Combined with his Heavenly Ghost Divine Power, it was already terrifyingly powerful.
Unfortunately, it was useless against Li Ping.
Then, the group discussed martial arts.
Anyway, there's nothing else to do...
Of course, if the others hadn't all been affected by the Formless Celestial Maiden, they would never have been able to talk so openly and honestly.
Suddenly, the gate opened, and a small cart slid in automatically. It stopped at each cell to let people collect their meals!
A dog was running around beside the car.
Li Chimei looked at the food on the plate, which was quite plentiful: "With Li Ping's strength, he suppressed our cultivation and then used the Seven Needles to subdue our spirit. Did he really need to be this cautious?"
Then he chuckled and said, "They actually sent us a dog to keep us company?! It seems we haven't seen anyone in ages..."
When Hua Jieyu took the food, she reached out and petted the dog.
This is fine too...
They then continued their discussion of martial arts, frequently quoting classic lines from "The Martial Arts World: That Night, Huang Rong Descended from the Sky," seeking common ground. They were completely oblivious to the dog lying nearby, listening intently.
This dog is Hua Manlou's student, the most intelligent one. Hua Manlou named it Xiao Huang.
It's the perfect dog to guard these prisoners; after all, nobody cares about a dog...
……
Hua Jieyu, Li Chimei, and all those who were poisoned by the Formless Celestial Maiden were imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower.
That was the name Li Ping gave it; it was actually a prison cell.
Fan Liangji's intrusion last time made Li Ping feel that the Search for Gods Palace needed such a place, so he created one.
Su Ying was a disciple of Wei Wuya, who had hollowed out Junshan Mountain. This was nothing to Su Ying. With the disciples of the Search God Palace as her servants, she created the underground prison without much effort.
She even set up many traps within it.
In addition, there was a formation set up by Huang Rong there.
This formation is incredibly magical. There is nothing similar in either the ancient or the yellow martial arts world, even though the yellow martial arts world has higher martial arts strength.
These people won't be locked up for long. Once Li Ping finds a way to break the Formless Heavenly Maiden's defenses, some of them will be released.
And some others, well, they're just meant to die.
Li Ping also learned about all of this through the Mind Network, and even gained something unexpected, which was truly unexpected.
Unfortunately, Hua Manlou's mental network is now at its limit; otherwise, the whole world would be under his watchful eye.
If it weren't for the fact that some of the animals he connects to don't require much effort, he simply wouldn't be able to handle such a massive mental network.
At this moment, Li Ping was sitting on Mount Qingcheng with Lang Fanyun, Yan Nantian, and Qin Mengyao, discussing the aftermath of this incident.
The reason the three weren't entertained at the Search God Palace was because Yaoyue was there, and it was best for her and Yan Nantian not to meet.
Yan Nantian was very worried about Hua Wuque, but he didn't show it on his face: "Brother Li, I'll leave Wuque in your care."
Li Ping patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a solution."
"I'm entrusting Zhan Tian to you too!" Lang Fanyun sighed. "I thought I had a good understanding of supernatural powers before, but now I realize that I only have a superficial understanding."
"How can Protector Hua's supernatural powers be so strong?"
Li Ping simply shook his head.
Although Mingming Huajieyu and Yuan Suiyun and others are not particularly strong, the supernatural powers they awaken are all incredibly overpowered.
What determines the strength of this thing?!
Lang Fanyun and the other man were somewhat disappointed; they had hoped to hear more news from Li Ping.
At this moment, Lang Fanyun laughed and said, "Brother Li, isn't the Flowing Light Memory Pavilion yours?"
Li Ping wasn't embarrassed: "I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Lang; Mengyao is actually one of them too."
Lang Fanyun paused slightly, then shook his head: "I presume Brother Li is collecting Time Crystal Sand for more than just supernatural powers?"
"Brother Li, do you have a deeper understanding of this world, and of its calamities?"
Li Ping first told the two about the collapse of the River of Time, then said, "During the second descent of the Extraordinary Ones, I seemed to hear someone speaking..."
"I think they might be the 'immortals' who brought us into this world!"
"They said that it's easier to hide because mortals' martial arts are weak enough."
"As for what they're hiding, they didn't say!"
"The following is entirely my speculation, without any basis whatsoever."
"I think supernatural powers might be something that immortals want to hide."
"Master Zhang called it the Seed of the Great Dao, and I think that's very fitting."
"I even suspect that the River of Time and the Great Dao collapsed together, and that supernatural powers are the seeds for 'immortals' to reshape the Great Dao..."
