lǐ píng sì hū kàn chū le bǎi huā de gù lǜ suǒ zài , chén shēng shuō dào :“ wàn xiān méng wǔ lǎo huì dí què qiáng shèng , dàn xuán huáng jiè bù mǎn qí tǒng zhì de , kě bù zhǐ wǒ men 。”
李平似乎看出了百花的顾虑所在,沉声说道:“万仙盟五老会的确强盛,但玄黄界不满其统治的,可不止我们。”
Li Ping seemed to have discerned the concerns behind Baihua's reservations. He said in a deep voice, "The Five Elders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are indeed formidable, but those who are dissatisfied with their rule in the Xuanhuang World go beyond just us."
“ xiān bù shuō yǐn cáng zài gè gè xiǎo shì jiè zhōng de dà xiǎo shì lì , wàn xiān méng nèi bù xīn huái guǐ tāi zhě , dōu bù kě shèng shǔ 。”
“先不说隐藏在各个小世界中的大小势力,万仙盟内部心怀鬼胎者,都不可胜数。”
"Let alone the numerous small worlds hidden within, there are countless scheming individuals within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance itself."
lǐ píng yī huī shǒu , yī zhāng páng dà de rén jì guān xì wǎng huò rán zài bǎi huā dào rén miàn qián xú xú zhǎn kāi 。
李平一挥手,一张庞大的人际关系网豁然在百花道人面前徐徐展开。
With a wave of his hand, Li Ping unfolded an expansive web of interpersonal relationships before Baihua Daoren.
bǎi huā dào rén dìng jīng wàng qù , nà yī zhāng zhāng miàn páng hè rán shì wàn xiān méng gè zǔ zhī chéng yuán !
百花道人定睛望去,那一张张面庞赫然是万仙盟各组织成员!
Baihua Daoren focused on the faces. Each one was clearly recognizable as members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!
bù jǐn jǐn shì xìng míng 、 róng mào 。 shēng píng , xìng qíng , yǐ jí qí bèi lā lǒng de kě néng , wèi lái xíng wéi fā zhǎn yù cè děng děng zī liào 。 shì wú jù xì 、 xiáng jìn zhì jí , quán dōu luó liè qí nèi 。
不仅仅是姓名、容貌。生平,性情,以及其被拉拢的可能,未来行为发展预测等等资料。事无巨细、详尽至极,全都罗列其内。
Not only names and appearances but also their life stories, personalities, potential for recruitment, future behavior predictions—every detail was meticulously listed out.
ér qí zhōng bèi tè bié biāo jì chū lái de , zhèng shì wàn xiān méng zhōng bù wěn dìng yīn sù 、 róng yì bèi cè fǎn de rén yuán 。
而其中被特别标记出来的,正是万仙盟中不稳定因素、容易被策反的人员。
Among them were those particularly marked as unstable elements within the alliance, easily swayed by external influences.
kàn zhe zhè xiē wén zì 、 tú piàn , zài bǎi huā dào rén nǎo hǎi zhōng , wàn xiān méng bù zài shì kōng dòng de sān gè zì , ér shì shùn jiān yǒu le xiān huó de xíng xiàng 。
看着这些文字、图片,在百花道人脑海中,万仙盟不再是空洞的三个字,而是瞬间有了鲜活的形象。
As Baihua Daoren read through these texts and images, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance no longer seemed like a vague concept. It instantly took on a vivid form in her mind.
bǎi huā dào rén yuè kàn yuè shì xīn jīng :“ nán guài cǐ rén gǎn fàng chū háo yán , yǒu xìn xīn yào gēn wàn xiān méng zhēng yī zhēng 。 zhè me xiáng jìn de zī liào , sōu jí qǐ lái bù zhī dào yào duō jiǔ 。 bù guāng shì shí jiān wèn tí , yǒu xiē jī mì , kǒng pà méi yǒu shēn jū gāo wèi de nèi yìng , gēn běn ná bú dào 。”
百花道人越看越是心惊:“难怪此人敢放出豪言,有信心要跟万仙盟争一争。这么详尽的资料,搜集起来不知道要多久。不光是时间问题,有些机密,恐怕没有身居高位的内应,根本拿不到。”
Baihua Daoren was increasingly alarmed: "No wonder this person dares to make such bold claims, confident enough to challenge the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Gathering such detailed information must have taken an immense amount of time. Not only is it about time, but some secrets might not be accessible without high-ranking insiders."
bǎi huā dào rén bìng bù rèn wéi yǎn qián zhè yī qiè shì duì fāng hú biān luàn zào de 。 zī liào tài guò xiáng xì , wěi zào de kě néng xìng hěn dī 。
百花道人并不认为眼前这一切是对方胡编乱造的。资料太过详细,伪造的可能性很低。
Baihua Daoren did not believe that everything before her was a fabrication. The level of detail made it unlikely to be fake.
tā hái yù xì kàn , què jiàn lǐ píng dà shǒu yī huī , miàn qián de guāng mù zài dù biàn huàn 。
她还欲细看,却见李平大手一挥,面前的光幕再度变幻。
She wanted to examine further when Li Ping waved his hand again and the holographic screen changed once more.
zhè yī cì , cóng wàn xiān méng de zī liào , biàn chéng le xuán huáng jiè gè gè xiǎo shì jiè de xìn xī 。 shí lì qiáng hèng 、 kě yǐ hé zuò de , suī bù qiáng dàn shì zī yuán fēng fù kě yǐ zhēng fú dàng zuò shēng chǎn jī dì de 。 shèn zhì hái yǒu jí dù wēi xiǎn , bù jiàn yì jiē chù de ……
这一次,从万仙盟的资料,变成了玄黄界各个小世界的信息。实力强横、可以合作的,虽不强但是资源丰富可以征服当做生产基地的。甚至还有极度危险,不建议接触的……
This time, the information shifted from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to various small worlds within the Xuanhuang World. Some were powerful enough for collaboration; others had rich resources that could be conquered as production bases. Even some were extremely dangerous and not recommended to interact with...
yī fú xuán huáng jiè de yǐn cáng huà juàn , xiàng bǎi huā dào rén xú xú zhǎn kāi 。
一幅玄黄界的隐藏画卷,向百花道人徐徐展开。
A hidden map of the Xuanhuang World unfolded before Baihua Daoren.
bǎi huā dào rén xīn zhōng zhèn hàn de tóng shí , yě yǒng qǐ yī zhèn wú nài 。 bèi pò kàn le zhè shèng cháo rú cǐ duō de jī mì , zhè xià zi kǒng pà bù jiā rù dōu bù xíng le 。
百花道人心中震撼的同时,也涌起一阵无奈。被迫看了这圣朝如此多的机密,这下子恐怕不加入都不行了。
Baihua Daoren was both awestruck and helpless. Forced to see so many secrets of this Holy Dynasty, she likely had no choice but to join now.
zhì yú sī pò liǎn pí , gēn duì fāng dà dǎ chū shǒu ……
至于撕破脸皮,跟对方大打出手……
As for breaking ties and engaging in a full-scale confrontation…
jí biàn bǎi huā dào rén zài tā yuán běn shì jiè shì cháng shēng jìng de cún zài , cǐ kè miàn duì zhè wèi wú miàn shèng huáng , xīn zhōng yě shì méi yǒu wán quán shèng suàn 。 shèn zhì měi měi shēng chū yǔ zhī dí duì de niàn tou de shí hòu , běn néng de dū huì yǐn yǐn yǒng qǐ wàn jié bù fù de yù gǎn 。
即便百花道人在她原本世界是长生境的存在,此刻面对这位无面圣皇,心中也是没有完全胜算。甚至每每生出与之敌对的念头的时候,本能的都会隐隐涌起万劫不复的预感。
Even though Baihua Daoren was an Immortal Realm existence in her original world, facing this Faceless Holy Emperor, she did not feel confident. Every time the idea of opposing him arose, an ominous feeling of irreparable disaster would subconsciously surface.
zhè zhǒng shì zài yǐ wǎng cóng wèi fā shēng guò 。 shèn zhì dāng chū bèi diào yú chí fú huò de shí hòu , tā yě bù céng chū xiàn zhè bān de wēi jī gǎn 。
这种事在以往从未发生过。甚至当初被钓鱼池俘获的时候,她也不曾出现这般的危机感。
Such things had never happened before. Even when captured by the fishing pool, she did not experience such a sense of crisis.
yú shì , dāng lǐ píng shí fēn píng jìng de xiàng tā tí chū jiā rù shèng cháo de yāo qǐng de shí hòu 。 bǎi huā dào rén méi yǒu sī háo yóu yù , biàn dā yìng le xià lái 。
于是,当李平十分平静的向她提出加入圣朝的邀请的时候。百花道人没有丝毫犹豫,便答应了下来。
Thus, when Li Ping calmly invited her to join the Holy Dynasty, Baihua Daoren agreed without hesitation.
lǐ píng fàng shēng dà xiào :“ hǎo hǎo hǎo 。 néng dé bǎi huā dào yǒu zhī zhù , wǒ men shèng suàn gèng duō yī fēn 。”
李平放声大笑:“好好好。能得百花道友之助,我们胜算更多一分。”
Li Ping laughed loudly: "Very well. With your help, our chances increase."
“ yǎn xià yǒu yī shì , hái xū dào yǒu bāng máng 。” hè rán shì bǎi huā gāng jiā rù , lǐ píng jiù pò bù jí dài de wèi qí ān pái qǐ rèn wù lái 。
“眼下有一事,还需道友帮忙。”赫然是百花刚加入,李平就迫不及待的为其安排起任务来。
"There is something I need you to assist with at present," Li Ping said immediately after Baihua Daoren joined. The map's miniature image suddenly shrunk and focused on one of the interconnected Five Great Realms.
qián fāng dì tú suō yǐng tú zhòu rán suō xiǎo , zuì zhōng jù jiāo zài qí zhōng yí gè wǔ huán xiāng kòu xiǎo shì jiè de zhī shàng 。
前方地图缩影图骤然缩小,最终聚焦在其中一个五环相扣小世界的之上。
"This Five Great Realms, I wish to set it as the final prize for this fishing competition. However, it currently resides within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Heavenly Spirit State. It is near the border, making it easy for both the alliance and the Five Elders to detect. Therefore..."
“ cǐ wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān , wǒ yù jiāng qí shè wèi cǐ cì diào yú dà sài de zuì zhōng jiǎng xiàng 。 bù guò tā mù qián wèi yú xiān méng tiān líng zhōu jìng nèi 。 biān jìng jiāo jiè chù , róng yì yǐn qǐ wàn xiān méng gēn wǔ lǎo huì de chá jué 。 suǒ yǐ ……”
“此五行大洞天,我欲将其设为此次钓鱼大赛的最终奖项。不过它目前位于仙盟天灵州境内。边境交界处,容易引起万仙盟跟五老会的察觉。所以……”
Li Ping spoke sincerely: "I need you to move it to a nearby region of our vast expanse."
lǐ píng yǔ qì pǒ wèi zhēn zhì :“ hái yào láo fán dào yǒu , jiāng qí bān qiān dào wǒ dà qǐ zhōu wéi xū kōng fù jìn 。”
李平语气颇为真挚:“还要劳烦道友,将其搬迁到我大启周围虚空附近。”
Initially, Baihua Daoren thought it was just an ordinary realm and did not pay much attention. But when Li Ping transmitted detailed information about the Five Great Realms, her golden body involuntarily shook.
yī kāi shǐ bǎi huā dào rén zhǐ yǐ wéi shì gè xún cháng dòng tiān , bìng bù zěn me zài yì 。 kě dāng lǐ píng bǎ wǔ xíng dà dòng tiān jù tǐ de zī liào chuán guò lái zhī hòu , bǎi huā jīn guāng shēn qū shùn jiān kòng zhì bú zhù de yī zhèn huàng dòng 。
一开始百花道人只以为是个寻常洞天,并不怎么在意。可当李平把五行大洞天具体的资料传过来之后,百花金光身躯瞬间控制不住的一阵晃动。
These five interconnected realms were too large! With her power, she could barely manage to move them, but afterward, she would surely collapse from exhaustion.
zhè wǔ gè lián huán dòng tiān shí zài tài dà le ! yǐ tā de shí lì , dí què néng miǎn qiǎng jiāng qí bān yùn guò lái 。 dàn shì hòu jué duì huì yán zhòng xū tuō 。
这五个连环洞天实在太大了!以她的实力,的确能勉强将其搬运过来。但事后绝对会严重虚脱。
Would the other party take advantage of her weakened state?
duì fāng huì bú huì chèn zhe zì jǐ lì jié , tú móu bù guǐ ?
对方会不会趁着自己力竭,图谋不轨?
Li Ping smiled: "I am truly busy and had no choice but to trouble you."
zhè shí , lǐ píng xiào le xiào :“ shí zài shì bǐ rén tuō bù kāi shēn , bù dé yǐ cái láo fán dào yǒu de 。”
这时,李平笑了笑:“实在是鄙人脱不开身,不得已才劳烦道友的。”
"If I really wanted to harm you, I wouldn't need any covert strategies..."
“ ruò shì wǒ zhēn xiǎng duì fù dào yǒu , kǒng pà gēn běn bù xū yào shén me yīn móu guǐ jì ……”
“若是我真想对付道友,恐怕根本不需要什么阴谋诡计……”
Li Ping's tone remained unchanged as if stating a simple fact.
lǐ píng yǔ qì méi yǒu sī háo bō dòng , sì hū zhǐ shì zài chén shù gè jiǎn dān de shì shí 。
李平语气没有丝毫波动,似乎只是在陈述个简单的事实。
As Li Ping spoke, several stone puppets silently appeared in the void, subtly surrounding Baihua Daoren.
suí zhe lǐ píng de huà , shù zūn shí zhì kuǐ lěi qiāo wú shēng xī de chū xiàn zài xū kōng zhōng , yǐn yǐn jiāng bǎi huā dào rén wéi zài zhōng yāng 。
随着李平的话,数尊石制傀儡悄无声息的出现在虚空中,隐隐将百花道人围在中央。
These puppets themselves were not particularly powerful, but their presence made Baihua feel both familiar and fearful.
zhè xiē kuǐ lěi běn shēn de shí lì bù zěn me yàng , dàn shì tā men shēn shàng suǒ sàn fà chū de bō dòng , ràng bǎi huā gǎn dào jì shú xī 、 yòu kǒng jù 。
这些傀儡本身的实力不怎么样,但是它们身上所散发出的波动,让百花感到既熟悉、又恐惧。
A flash of light illuminated Baihua's mind, and she instantly recalled where this familiarity came from—those terrifying disasters that had ravaged and annihilated countless cultivation worlds long ago!
yī dào shǎn guāng zhào liàng bǎi huā nǎo hǎi , tā shà shí cóng jì yì zhōng zhǎo dào le zhè shú xī gǎn de lái yuán 。 hè rán shì xǔ jiǔ zhī qián , nà xiē sì nüè héng sǎo 、 miè jué wú shù xiū xiān jiè de kǒng bù zāi huò !
一道闪光照亮百花脑海,她霎时从记忆中找到了这熟悉感的来源。赫然是许久之前,那些肆虐横扫、灭绝无数修仙界的恐怖灾祸!
"You're insane!?" Baihua Daoren screamed. Her body instinctively moved away from the stone puppets.
“ nǐ fēng le ?!” bǎi huā dào rén rěn bú zhù jiān jiào dào 。 shēn qū gèng shì rěn bú zhù de xià yì shí xùn sù yuǎn lí zhè xiē shí zhì kuǐ lěi 。
“你疯了?!”百花道人忍不住尖叫道。身躯更是忍不住的下意识迅速远离这些石制傀儡。
"You are playing with fire! The power of world-destroying calamities, can we really control it? If not careful, this last refuge for us in the Xuanhuang World might be destroyed!" Baihua Daoren's body trembled with shock and anger.
“ nǐ zhè shì zài wán huǒ ! miè shì zāi huò de lì liàng , qǐ shì wǒ men néng gòu zhǎng kòng de ? ruò shì yí gè bù xiǎo xīn , kǒng pà xuán huáng jiè zhè yī wǒ men zuì hòu de róng shēn dì , dōu yào bèi nǐ gěi huǐ diào !” bǎi huā dào rén shēn qū chàn dǒu , yòu jīng yòu nù 。
“你这是在玩火!灭世灾祸的力量,岂是我们能够掌控的?若是一个不小心,恐怕玄黄界这一我们最后的容身地,都要被你给毁掉!”百花道人身躯颤抖,又惊又怒。
She never imagined that this so-called ally would turn out to be a complete lunatic. No wonder she had felt such an indescribable sense of danger from him...
tā zěn me yě méi xiǎng dào , zhè ge suǒ wèi de tóng lù rén , jū rán huì shì gè chè tóu chè wěi de fēng zi 。 nán guài cǐ qián cóng tā shēn shàng gǎn dào le nán yǐ yán shuō de wēi jī gǎn ……
她怎么也没想到,这个所谓的同路人,居然会是个彻头彻尾的疯子。难怪此前从他身上感到了难以言说的危机感……
In response to Baihua Daoren's accusations, Li Ping did not take them seriously.
miàn duì bǎi huā dào rén de zhǐ zé , lǐ píng què bù yǐ wéi yì 。
面对百花道人的指责,李平却不以为意。
He snorted coldly: "World-destroying disasters are temporarily gone. Who can guarantee they won't reappear? Even if we manage to escape the Immortal Void, how will we deal with other calamities in the future?"
tā hēng le yī shēng , lěng lěng shuō dào :“ miè shì xiōng zāi , zhǐ shì zàn shí xiāo shī 。 shuí néng bǎo zhèng jīn hòu bú huì fù xiàn ? jiù suàn wǒ men yǒu xìng néng táo lí xiān xū , dàn yǐ hòu zài yù dào qí tā zāi è yòu zěn me bàn ?”
他哼了一声,冷冷说道:“灭世凶灾,只是暂时消失。谁能保证今后不会复现?就算我们有幸能逃离仙墟,但以后再遇到其他灾厄又怎么办?”
"Constantly running away will inevitably lead to our downfall. Only by actively researching and mastering their power can we truly achieve freedom!" Li Ping's tone was resolute, almost bordering on fanaticism.
“ yī wèi de táo bì , zuì zhōng dìng rán nán táo miè wáng mìng yùn 。 zhǐ yǒu zhǔ dòng yán jiū , bìng zhǎng wò tā men de lì liàng , cái néng yíng de zhēn zhèng de zì yóu !” lǐ píng yǔ qì jiān jué wú bǐ , shèn zhì yǐn yǐn yǒu xiē kuáng rè 。
“一味的逃避,最终定然难逃灭亡命运。只有主动研究,并掌握它们的力量,才能赢的真正的自由!”李平语气坚决无比,甚至隐隐有些狂热。
He waved his hand again, revealing three complex yet sacred symbols around him.
tā zài dù yī huī shǒu , sān gè fù zá wú bǐ 、 què yòu bǎo hán shén shèng qì xī de niǔ qū fú hào , chū xiàn zài tā de shēn biān 。
他再度一挥手,三个复杂无比、却又饱含神圣气息的扭曲符号,出现在他的身边。
These symbols rotated around Li Ping without any inherent power.
wéi rào zhe lǐ píng bù duàn xuán zhuǎn 。
围绕着李平不断旋转。
Even the Longevity Realm existence Baihua Daoren trembled at just seeing these shapes.
méi yǒu rèn hé de lì liàng yùn hán qí nèi , jǐn jǐn zhǐ shì dān chún suǒ miáo huì chū lái de xíng zhuàng , jiù ràng cháng shēng jìng de bǎi huā dào rén zhàn lì bù yǐ 。
没有任何的力量蕴含其内,仅仅只是单纯所描绘出来的形状,就让长生境的百花道人颤栗不已。
The Faceless Holy Emperor Li Ping, surrounded by the three mysterious symbols, exuded a blend of saintly and sinister qualities, making it impossible to look directly at him.
ér bèi sān gè xuán qí fú hào wéi zài zhōng yāng de wú miàn shèng huáng lǐ píng , gèng shì jí shèng rán 、 xié mèi qì zhì yǔ yī shēn 。
而被三个玄奇符号围在中央的无面圣皇李平,更是集圣然、邪魅气质与一身。
"Hahaha, these three True Immortal Inscriptions were painstakingly gathered from the void. Would you like to take a closer look?" Li Ping's voice echoed through the dark space.
shǐ rén bù gǎn zhí shì 。
使人不敢直视。
Baihua Daoren sensed that Little Taoist Ruli was waking up and quickly cast spells to make her fall asleep again.
“ hē hē hē , cǐ sān méi zhēn xiān zhuàn zì , nǎi shì wǒ qiān xīn wàn kǔ , zì xū kōng zhōng sōu jí ér dé 。 dào yǒu bù guān mó guān mó ma ?” lǐ píng shēng yīn hōng lōng , xiǎng chè cǐ chù yōu àn kōng jiān 。
“呵呵呵,此三枚真仙篆字,乃是我千辛万苦,自虚空中搜集而得。道友不观摩观摩吗?”李平声音轰隆,响彻此处幽暗空间。
As for herself, she truly could not bear to look at those three True Immortal Inscriptions!
bǎi huā dào rén chá jué dào tóng liú lí yǒu sū xǐng de jì xiàng , lián máng shī fǎ , shǐ qí zài dù hūn shuì guò qù 。
百花道人察觉道童琉璃有苏醒的迹象,连忙施法,使其再度昏睡过去。
Indeed, the True Immortal Inscriptions did contain immense power. But could they really be controlled by cultivators who had yet to reach the immortal path?
zhì yú tā zì jǐ , shì zhēn de bù gǎn zhí shì nà sān gè zhēn xiān zhuàn zì !
至于她自己,是真的不敢直视那三个真仙篆字!
She had seen countless cultivators perish under such power without any resistance. Among them were many like her, so-called Longevity Realm existences.
bù cuò , zhēn xiān zhuàn zì dí què yùn cáng zhe wú qióng wēi néng 。 dàn nà chāo yuè fán sú de lì liàng , zhēn de shì tā men zhè xiē wèi dēng xiān lù de xiū shì néng zhǎng kòng de ?
不错,真仙篆字的确蕴藏着无穷威能。但那超越凡俗的力量,真的是他们这些未登仙路的修士能掌控的?
In her view, researching the True Immortal Inscriptions was akin to a child holding a world-destroying weapon.
tā kě shì céng qīn yǎn kàn dào , wú shù xiū shì zài zhè zhǒng lì liàng xià huī fēi yān miè 、 yì diǎn fǎn kàng zhī lì dōu méi yǒu 。 qí zhōng gèng shì bù fá xiàng tā zhè yàng de suǒ wèi cháng shēng jìng cún zài 。
她可是曾亲眼看到,无数修士在这种力量下灰飞烟灭、一点反抗之力都没有。其中更是不乏像她这样的所谓长生境存在。
Any misstep would not only lead to her immediate demise but also drag the entire world into destruction!
zài tā kàn lái , yán jiū zhēn xiān zhuàn zì , zhēn rú yòu tóng shǒu chí miè shì zhī qì 。
在她看来,研究真仙篆字,真如幼童手持灭世之器。
She had plenty of years left; why would she engage in such extreme behavior?
shāo yǒu bù shùn , bù jǐn zì jǐ chà nà yào shēng sǐ dào xiāo , shèn zhì zhěng gè shì jiè dōu yào bèi lā zhe péi zàng !
稍有不顺,不仅自己刹那要生死道消,甚至整个世界都要被拉着陪葬!
Today's done. Today outside, these two are from my phone.
míng míng zì jǐ hái yǒu hǎo duō nián néng huó , yòu qǐ huì qù zuò zhè zhǒng jí duān xíng jìng !
明明自己还有好多年能活,又岂会去做这种极端行径!
(End of chapter)
Li Ping seemed to have discerned the concerns behind Baihua's reservations. He said in a deep voice, "The Five Elders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance are indeed formidable, but those who are dissatisfied with their rule in the Xuanhuang World go beyond just us."
"Let alone the numerous small worlds hidden within, there are countless scheming individuals within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance itself."
With a wave of his hand, Li Ping unfolded an expansive web of interpersonal relationships before Baihua Daoren.
Baihua Daoren focused on the faces. Each one was clearly recognizable as members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance!
Not only names and appearances but also their life stories, personalities, potential for recruitment, future behavior predictions—every detail was meticulously listed out.

Even the Longevity Realm existence Baihua Daoren trembled at just seeing these shapes.
The Faceless Holy Emperor Li Ping, surrounded by the three mysterious symbols, exuded a blend of saintly and sinister qualities, making it impossible to look directly at him.
"Hahaha, these three True Immortal Inscriptions were painstakingly gathered from the void. Would you like to take a closer look?" Li Ping's voice echoed through the dark space.
Baihua Daoren sensed that Little Taoist Ruli was waking up and quickly cast spells to make her fall asleep again.
As for herself, she truly could not bear to look at those three True Immortal Inscriptions!
Indeed, the True Immortal Inscriptions did contain immense power. But could they really be controlled by cultivators who had yet to reach the immortal path?
She had seen countless cultivators perish under such power without any resistance. Among them were many like her, so-called Longevity Realm existences.
In her view, researching the True Immortal Inscriptions was akin to a child holding a world-destroying weapon.
Any misstep would not only lead to her immediate demise but also drag the entire world into destruction!
She had plenty of years left; why would she engage in such extreme behavior?
Today's done. Today outside, these two are from my phone.
