Chapter 535 The Saint Behind the Scenes
It was not done by the West;
It was not done by the Heavenly Court;
It was not the evil corpse of Hongjun who was causing trouble;
Who was behind the Eternal Life Golden Immortal Tribulation?
Li Pingan kept thinking.
He had been trying to communicate with the Heavenly Dao before, and he had come to some conclusions and roughly drawn a range.
The possibility of Nuwa Niangniang was almost zero. She had no motive, and Nuwa Niangniang could not do it to such an extent. There was no trace of her in the Heavenly Dao.
Zhunti could also be ruled out.
Li Pingan had previously suspected the most of the Taoist Jie Yin, but during his communication with the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao clearly stated that it was not Jie Yin Zhunti who was pushing the Eternal Life Tribulation.
There were only the Three Pure Ones.
Grandmaster?
Tai Qing advocated tranquility and inaction, and Tai Qing had the memory of Pangu, so Tai Qing could be regarded as the continuation of Pangu's will.
From the perspective of helping the heaven and earth to survive the final catastrophe, Tai Qing might have promoted the Heavenly Tribulation.
Although Li Pingan did not know what the inevitable connection was behind this, he could not rule out this possibility.
Tai Qing's suspicion value was about 10%.
Could it be that the master is pushing it?
What motive does Yuanshi Tianzun have to do such a thing?
Similarly, what motive does Tongtian Jiaozhu have to promote the longevity calamity? So many disciples of Jiejiao have not yet achieved longevity.
Even if Tongtian Jiaozhu wanted to "slim down" and "reduce the burden" of Jiejiao, there is no need to go to such great lengths and let disciples one by one encounter the heavenly calamity and be destroyed in the heavenly calamity.
What benefits can Tongtian Jiaozhu get after the heavenly calamity is completed?
Li Ping'an did not dare to say that he fully understood Tongtian Jiaozhu, nor could he judge based on his intuition.
From a practical point of view, if a saint promoted the longevity calamity to fall in order to strike at the Heavenly Court and destroy the foundation of the human race in the Heavenly Court, then Tongtian Jiaozhu should also have a suspicion value of 10%.
The last possibility is Yuanshi Tianzun.
But is there any need for Yuanshi Tianzun to calculate the Heavenly Court?
In the just-concluded Holy Power War, the one who benefited the most was Yuanshi Tianzun. The act of reprimanding the saint raised the level of the Chanjiao in the hearts of the living beings.
‘Is it the Transcendent Master who is causing trouble? ’
Li Pingan thought about it and it seemed that only this explanation was barely reasonable.
But the Heavenly Dao is no longer the weak state of yesterday that could mess things up in the inner Heavenly Dao illusion. After the return of the Six Saints, the Heavenly Dao has grown rapidly. The Transcendent Master is outside the heaven and earth. It is not easy for him to do something to the current Heavenly Dao.
Dilemma.
Li Pingan looked at the shallow ripples on the water, and his mind gradually became a mess.
He personally tended to believe that it was Jie Yin Zhunti who deceived the Heavenly Dao and deliberately intensified the conflict between the Heavenly Court and the living beings.
They have sufficient motives but not sufficient means;
The Three Pure Ones do not have sufficient motives but have sufficient means;
The Holy Mother has neither motives nor means... Well, this is not an offense.
Then who did this?
Did the Heavenly Dao go crazy?
A familiar call came from the side: "Your Majesty."
It was Yun Zhongzi who arrived.
Li Pingan stopped thinking, his cloudy eyes became clear again, he put away the fishing rod, turned around and looked at Yun Zhongzi, with a slight smile on his lips.
The ministers of the Heavenly Court standing behind him were also slightly relieved when they saw such a smile.
Li Pingan said: "Teacher, are you here for the longevity calamity?"
"Yes," Yun Zhongzi nodded with a smile, looked at Li Pingan's expression, and asked in a gentle voice, "All living beings are panicked and angry, and are waiting for your majesty to give a reply. Your majesty needs to explain this matter to the public as soon as possible."
Li Pingan sighed: "Disciple can't figure out what's going on. How can I explain it to convince them?"
Yun Zhongzi asked: "This matter is not decided by the Heavenly Court?"
"Of course it is not decided by the Heavenly Court."
Li Pingan glanced at Yao Chi and shook his head:
"Yao Chi and I don't have the ability to promote such a big change.
"This heavenly rule is brewing by the Heavenly Dao, and it will soon manifest. The promoter behind it is suspected to be a saint, but the identity of this saint cannot be calculated. "
Yun Zhongzi thought for a while.
Li Dazhi said: "Do I need to think about it? It must be the two leaders of the Western religion who did it!"
"Father, we have no evidence."
Li Ping'an wanted to say that the possibility of the two old men taking action was not high. After all, if they took action to intensify the conflict between the Heavenly Court and the living beings, Taiqing would not sit idly by.
-This can be seen from the fact that Taiqing reminded him when Zhunti was trying to plot against Yao Ji last time.
Li Ping'an pondered for a few times and told the truth:
"This saint can make me, Yao Chi, Dong Wang, and the top 20 people in the Heavenly Dao sequence unable to capture the traces he left in the Heavenly Dao. It can only be the top three.
"As for who it is, I can't say for sure, let alone say.
"In short, it is difficult to find out who did it now.
"We can only find a way to resolve the anger of all living beings."
A minister said: "Your Majesty, it is better to insist that it was the Western religion that did it. All living beings just want an explanation."
"If you and I deceive all living beings, all living beings will deceive you and me. This precedent cannot be set."
Li Ping'an shook his head and said:
"Our principles cannot be broken. We must seek truth from facts. We cannot add to the guilt of the Western religion because of its many evil deeds. Otherwise, how can the various departments of the Heavenly Court enforce justice on behalf of the Heaven?
"Go, King Dong, and announce all the information we have now, so that Tianfang Pavilion can do some work.
"If this matter cannot be resolved, I will not be the Emperor of Heaven."
All the immortals bowed their heads at the same time, and King Dong hurried to Tongming Hall with more than a dozen ministers.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea bowed his hands forward and said slowly: "Your Majesty, all living beings are so ignorant. There is no need to explain to them."
"Dragon King, this is the code of conduct of the Heavenly Court."
Li Pingan smiled and said:
“If Honghuang wants to move forward and Heaven wants to maintain justice, these norms must be respected.
"I have made up my mind on this matter, there is no need for the Dragon King to persuade me further.
"If I really can't solve the imminent calamity of immortality later, it would be a good thing for me to abdicate voluntarily, so as to avoid being poked in my spine by all living beings."
Yaochi sighed and said: "Your Majesty has this intention, and we will advance and retreat together."
"Heaven cannot be without a master for a day," Li Ping'an said sternly, "Yao'er, you preside over the judicial punishment of Heaven. There must not be any chaos in this matter."
Yaochi sighed softly and stopped talking.
King Qin Guang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"What's the matter?"
"This is a message sent to you by Tuzu. Heaven wants to suppress the power of living beings, and living beings should rise up to resist. If Heaven is caught here, it will be in a dilemma."
King Qin Guang said slowly:
"What Hou Tuzu means is that you might as well take retreat as an advance and get out of this whirlpool.
“You can pretend to have a quarrel with the Queen Mother or run away from home to avoid the limelight.
"You are from the human race, and the human race is the main body of life in the world. As long as you are not hated by the human race, when everything is settled, you can stand up to appease the human race and avoid greater turmoil."
Li Ping'an looked around and said with a smile: "Next time, I'll report this kind of thing in private. You've already revealed your plan, how can I use it?"
"this……"
King Qin Guang was shocked: "I just thought that there are no outsiders here. Your Majesty, I am guilty."
"It's okay, just teasing you."
Li Ping'an smiled and sighed:
"Sheltering from the limelight won't solve the problem. If I really want to hide from this matter, I don't have to quarrel with Yao'er.
"The main thing now is that we can't figure out who is behind this matter... That's all, we still need to go to the saint to inquire. My dear friends, go to Lingxiao Palace to wait for orders for the time being, and Yao'er will go to Lingxiao Palace to guard the situation.
"I'm going to ask the saints to find a solution."
"Your Majesty has worked so hard, but I cannot do it for you. I feel so ashamed."
All the immortals bowed to each other, and Li Ping'an bowed his hands to Yun Zhongzi, and disappeared in a flash.
Li Ping'an doesn't even need to go anywhere to look.
His path to all sentient beings has already boiled.
…
After a while.
Inside Biyou Palace.
"A saint did it? Which saint did it?"
Leader Tongtian shouted angrily with a black face:
"This is because I want my teacher to be wiped out in ashes as soon as possible!
"Since ancient times, cultivation relies on one's own understanding. All living beings should have a chance of immortality. How can there be a catastrophe?
"Peace, tell me, are Zhunti and Jieyin doing evil again?"
The saint's young face was full of irritation.
Li Ping'an sighed secretly in his heart. The Jiejiao was indeed the victim in this matter, and the suspicion index of the Tongtian Cultist had dropped a lot again.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Master, please don't be angry. I am also investigating this matter. As soon as I find out the clues, I will notify my uncle immediately... Grandmaster has calculated the way of heaven. Could it be that he can't find the saint who took action here?"
"I'm not good at calculating."
Leader Tongtian sat back in his seat with a mocking smile, frowned and said:
"What do you think the person behind this plot wants to do?
"Suppressing the power of living beings is good for the way of heaven? The final catastrophe may occur soon after the Taoist Immortal Tribulation. Wouldn't it be good to have more living masters?
"Or maybe, by lowering the number of living masters and reducing the number of Immortals, we can reduce the loss of the original materials of heaven and earth, thereby extending the life of heaven and earth?"
Li Ping'an nodded slowly: "I think so too. The Dao Immortal Tribulation and the establishment of the Heavenly Tribulation are essentially the same thing, but everything must follow a method and process. If it is so rigid, it can only do more harm than good."
"Alas," the leader of Tongtian Cult sighed, "this world is really becoming more and more incomprehensible. After becoming a saint, it seems that I am tied to the way of heaven. Although I have become stronger, I feel uncomfortable and my spirit has become weak."
Li Ping'an responded with a smile, found something to say, and left in a hurry.
His second stop was Nuwa Palace.
Li Ping'an had a brief conversation with Nuwa. Nuwa didn't know who was behind the attack, but Nuwa vaguely pointed out that there were only two people in the world who could do such a thing without leaving any trace.
Taiqing and Yuanshi Tianzun.
Li Ping'an smiled bitterly: "What I think in my heart is almost the same as what I think."
"Don't go directly to these two senior brothers to question you."
Nuwa warned in a gentle voice:
"This matter is almost entirely driven by the two senior brothers. If you openly oppose it, it will easily offend the two senior brothers.
"What you're doing now is good. Just let the world scold Jie Yin and Zhunti. They have done many evil things, so it's reasonable for them to be scolded more."
Li Ping'an smiled and sighed: "It's my duty to scold them, but if I don't understand this matter clearly, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart and my thoughts are not clear."
"Some things are just unclear."
Nuwa's eyes were a little more loving:
"You are the Emperor of Heaven, so you don't have to be upright. You should still pretend to be confused when you should.
"Listen to my advice. Although I can't persuade you, don't continue to ask about this matter. You can just hide.
"Escape at this time is the best policy."
"Well, I've made a note of it. Your Majesty, you consider me wholeheartedly. I'm extremely grateful from the bottom of my heart."
Li Ping'an sighed softly, bowed his hands, turned around and left.
Nuwa just sighed softly, but didn't say much.
After leaving Nuwa Palace, Li Pingan went straight to Yuxu Palace.
He tried to communicate with Tiandao again, but Tiandao did not give a clear response.
Without Tiandao's faceless man, communication with Tiandao became very "mysterious". Li Pingan needed to enter the state of enlightenment, and the Great Dao conveyed his voice, and then he had a new understanding in his heart.
Li Pingan asked Tiandao again whether this matter was done by Jieyin, and he still got a clear understanding.
[No].
‘Is it really the master or the great uncle? ’
Li Pingan was a little reluctant to believe this conclusion.
He made up his mind to talk to the master first. If he was sure that it was not the master, he would go to Lingshan for a tour.
Tiandao cannot be fully trusted, after all, it can also be deceived and covered.
At this moment, Li Pingan used the Qiankun escape technique to wander outside the painting, and Yuxu Palace arrived in a moment.
Without disturbing the immortals of the Chan Sect, nor looking for the boy to report, Li Pingan slowly emerged from the main hall. On the jade cushion in front of him, several immortal lights chased each other and transformed into a middle-aged saint of the Heavenly Dao.
It was Yuanshi Tianzun.
Li Pingan bowed his head and saluted: "Master, I come to seek an answer."
Yuanshi Tianzun asked: "What answer?"
"Eternal life calamity, immortal calamity," Li Pingan said, "Such a heavenly rule will soon appear in the Heavenly Court. As the Emperor of Heaven, I can prevent the birth of this heavenly rule, but the Heavenly Dao predicts that this matter is driven by a saint, so I dare not act rashly, and I come to ask Master for guidance."
"Driven by a saint?"
Yuanshi Tianzun calculated with his fingers, and his expression did not show any change, but he could not help but exclaimed.
Li Pingan's heart was shocked.
Has the answer been found?
But Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head slowly and said in a gentle voice:
"I calculated the secrets of heaven, but I found that this matter was in chaos. I only knew that the calamity of becoming an immortal and the calamity of longevity should have been the authority of the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao was incomplete and had many setbacks before, so there was no restriction on the immortality and longevity of living beings.
"It's just that the Heavenly Dao suddenly implemented it, and the people complained, which is also reasonable.
"This matter should be planned by a saint behind the scenes."
Li Ping'an asked: "Master, which saint is planning?"
Yuanshi Tianzun calculated again with his fingers, but this time he calculated for half an hour, but still had no conclusion, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Don't investigate this matter anymore."
Yuanshi Tianzun said in a deep voice:
"The resentment of all living beings is not caused by you. Although you are the Emperor of Heaven, you don't have to bear such responsibility.
"Since the Heavenly Dao wants to accomplish this, let the Heavenly Dao accomplish it. "
Li Pingan said loudly: "But Master, the resentment of all living beings must be directed at my Heavenly Court. If I avoid this matter, I will inevitably lose the trust of all living beings."
Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Are you the Heavenly Emperor of Heavenly Dao or the Heavenly Emperor of Living Beings?"
Li Pingan thought for a while and said with a smile: "My Heavenly Emperor should be the Emperor of Self and the King of My Self."
"Good."
Yuanshi Tianzun smiled:
"Before, Zhunti wanted me to punish you and exempt you from the position of Heavenly Emperor. I was a little hesitant, but now there is no need to think too much. Zhunti has an evil mind and it is difficult for him to accomplish great things.
"You can go back to Heaven and do whatever you want.
"I will protect you through this difficult time."
Li Pingan bowed his head and saluted: "Disciple thanks Master for his care... Disciple wants to ask Master Uncle, what does Master think? "
Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard and shook his head: "Laojun is in your heaven, why go far away?"
"Disciple almost forgot."
Li Pingan hurriedly bowed:
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
After saying that, he turned around and fled directly.
Yuanshi Tianzun sat in the hall and pondered for a long time, and couldn't help muttering:
"Why did you suddenly push this matter, but what far-reaching plan do you have that even I can't figure out?"
