My Simulated Road to Immortality-Chapter 1260 - 1212
"The Xuanhuang World, our only home, naturally we must maintain its integrity," said Saint Emperor Li Ping matter-of-factly.
"Once we return, I will allocate a portion of the You Clan People to let them return to the Ocean of Darkness and pray. Since the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has captured the You Clan People causing an imbalance in the Ghost Realm, then the Holy Dynasty shall take full responsibility."
"However..."
Li Ping gazed at the profound black ocean before him.
"Although the Essence of Source Power is immense, its quantity is ultimately limited. I wonder how many You Clan People praying day and night will it take to restore the Ocean of Darkness?"
Yin Shangren was somewhat moved by Li Ping’s attitude and after a moment of thought, he replied: "According to what the leader of the You Clan said, during their tribe’s heyday, their members’ footprints covered the entire underground cave world. It’s estimated that there were at least five hundred thousand people..."
Li Ping slowly said, "It seems we need to improve our way of treating the You Clan People step by step."
Yin Shangren also nodded in agreement.
"Let’s end this inspection here for now. I have a feeling that we are gradually being watched by this darkness."
"Good."
A golden light enveloped Li Ping’s body, casting him in a most sacred and majestic light.
In the fluctuating light and shadows, it seemed as though time and space were distorted.
The next moment, the figure of Saint Emperor Li Ping disappeared into thin air, returning to the Da Qi Miniature World.
He had not passed through a portal created by the prayers and sacrifices of the You Clan People but had directly used the power of the vast net of Essence of Source Power.
"For now, the Web of Origin Power’s source is only in Da Qi. If one day, You Clan People from all over Xuanhuang pray to me, then I will be able to utilize this connection to appear wherever I wish," mused Saint Emperor Li Ping.
Having understood the significance of the You Clan People, Li Ping then summoned Wang Xuanba.
He passed on the latest strategy for dealing with the You Clan People to him.
Aside from continuing to increase the production of You Clan People in the Flesh and Blood Factory, the normal population of the You Clan People must also be expanded to ensure sustainable development.
"For these other You Clan People, you must find ways to increase their lifespan."
Wang Xuanba, kneeling on one knee, listened to the Emperor’s instructions. Although he didn’t know why the other’s attitude had changed so drastically, he loyally accepted the task.
After Wang Xuanba left, Li Ping called over Sun Erlang.
He assigned him the task of leading an army to conquer several underground worlds.
Sun Erlang, who had been idle for quite some time, gladly accepted the command.
Next, rather than simply sending him away as he had done with Wang Xuanba, he continued to inquire.
"How has the Taiyan Sect’s Yi Magic been performing lately?"
The Holy Dynasty’s luck lay entirely on Li Ping. As the Great Chitian Emperor, he naturally had an intricate knowledge of everything happening within the Da Qi Miniature World. However, he still questioned knowingly.
Sun Erlang dared not hide anything and reported truthfully.
"I hadn’t expected that the Taiyan Sect would actually agree to your request," Li Ping said in a cold voice devoid of emotion, echoing within the Saint Emperor Seat.
"But it’s just as well; if one day the Holy Dynasty falls, taking refuge in the Taiyan Sect wouldn’t be a bad outcome for you."
Sun Erlang was suddenly stunned, his complexion changing as he spoke, "Master, how could the Holy Dynasty possibly..."
Li Ping, quite rarely, started to laugh: "Is there ever an absolute certainty of victory in this world? What’s wrong with having multiple backups? But this is only limited to you. Do not speak of this to your fellow brothers and sisters."
"You may go now."
Sun Erlang left in a state of fear and unease.
Li Ping sat aloft, the only person left in the empty Saint Emperor Seat.
Although the exploration of the Ghost Realm lasted only a short while,
it caused a significant impact on his spirit and mind.
"The Floating Star Crossing Formation, the Fishing Pond..."
"My strength has reached half a step at the pinnacle of Xuan Huang. However, within the Xuan Huang World, there are too many oddities hidden. The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals has ruled over half of Xuan Huang for so many years; their foundation is bound to be much deeper than what’s shown on the surface."
"Moreover, the conflict with the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals must not only be won, but also be swift and decisive. Otherwise, years of ongoing battles between cultivators will inevitably cause irreparable damage to this realm once again. How can a ship that’s already been patched up time and again withstand any more turmoil?"
As the Heavenly Emperor, he had much more to consider.
After a long contemplation, Li Ping’s figure flickered and disappeared from the Da Qi Miniature World.
When he reappeared, he was already within the Jiushan Province of the Xuan Huang World.
With the protection of the Essence of Source Power, he was now qualified to venture outside occasionally without worrying too much about personal safety.
"The Tian Beast."
Standing in mid-air, Li Ping felt the chaotic, disorderly space around him.
"If my guess is correct, the Tian Beast should also be a part of the Floating Star Crossing Formation."
"There are dangers lurking in the Star Sea. To achieve a successful transition, it’s essential to scout the path ahead and avoid hazards."
"The Eye of the Heavenly Beast..."
Vague images flashed through his Spirit Consciousness.
In an independent space outside the Xuan Huang World, known as the Eye of the Heavenly Beast, it seemed possible to observe even more distant depths of the Starry Sky than from within the Xuan Huang World itself.
"It’s a pity that the Tian Beast is dead, and finding that unique space relies solely on chance. The Star Sea is vast, and with the constant influence of the Suction Force of the Ruins of Immortality, it’s even harder than finding a needle in a haystack."
"The Passage Array, three parts of it revealed, have shown their traces. The only remaining one is still without a clue."

"..."
Shaking his head slightly, he pushed his thoughts aside for the moment, and without a sound, Li Ping had already arrived at the headquarters of the Elemental Spirit Sect.
The Elemental Spirit Sect was the largest local force in the chaotic region of Jiushan Province.
Its followers all practiced the Vital Element Art of the Myriad Beings, seemingly breaking the rule of ’Incompatible Cultivation,’ but in reality, they were tools for the Leading Figures of the Elemental Spirit Sect to refine and absorb Source Power.
Effortlessly bypassing various restrictions and following the sensation of Source Energy, Li Ping arrived at the underground base of the Craftsman.
It was filled with all sorts of strange and curious parts, among which the Craftsman himself was busily engrossed in his work.
"Where exactly is it lacking?"
"Source Power, Essence of Source Power, a difference of two words, but a chasm as vast as the Abyss of Heaven!"
A puppet made of Golden Source Energy exploded into fragments with a loud bang, scattering light everywhere.
Apparently, the experiment had failed, and the Craftsman was somewhat annoyed.
"Come here!"
He turned his head and coldly snorted at a female cultivator standing by, as a whip suddenly appeared in his hand.
The female cultivator had an expressionless face, and her eyes were more listless than those of a normal person.
"Not alike at all, nothing like the real Shangguan!"
Seeing the appearance of the female cultivator made the Craftsman even more irate.
Just as he was about to swing the whip, he suddenly caught sight of the figure of the Faceless Saint Emperor in the Secret room.
Like someone caught red-handed, the Craftsman’s hand trembled, and the whip nearly dropped to the floor.
"Who is it?!"
The Craftsman was both shocked and angry, looking at Li Ping and shouting furiously.
In the Secret room, what had originally seemed like inanimate puppets suddenly all came to life, focusing on Li Ping.
