CHAPTER 1365: CHAPTER 489: THE BEHEADING TRIBULATION!

What’s going on?

Li Ping’an glanced at the ominous glow indicating upcoming calamities in his Spirit Platform, then sharply looked up towards the Cloud Mirror in the pavilion, at the scene Hongjun was showing to his father.

He almost rushed back immediately, but the spirit within the coffin reacted faster, pressing down on his shoulder.

"It’s not time for you to show yourself yet, look closely, Hongjun’s greatest secret is right here!"

Li Ping’an was momentarily stunned and turned to glare at the spirit within the coffin, his teacher.

’Can’t you just tell me directly, you big shot?’

The spirit within the coffin seemed to understand Li Ping’an’s expression and smiled, saying:

"Telling you directly would kill all the fun, besides, I only know the surface, not the depth, Hongjun has been patient and motionless, today he finally reveals his fierce side.

"Besides, though we are master and disciple, our stances may not be the same, I can’t just tell you everything and then let you defeat me, can I?

"Just watch."

Pinned down by the spirit within the coffin like this, Li Ping’an calmed down.

Hongjun’s greatest secret is right here?

Li Ping’an frowned as he observed the situation within the pavilion, watching the beheading calamity of the White-robed Celestial Emperor.

He could only think of three possibilities now, and all three could be ruled out.

First, Hongjun could spy on their father-son Divine Skills, and now he’s deliberately scaring his father.

Second, what they saw with their father-son Divine Skills was actually this scene that Hongjun is presenting, and the appearance of this scene is a part of the calamity.

Third, this calamity was created by Hongjun! Hongjun is just showing off his blueprint!

The second possibility is easiest to rule out.

The scene revealed by Li Ping’an’s father-son Divine Skills contains the power of the Heavenly Dao, it is a ’future actual existence’ scene.

Looking at Hongjun’s expression now, the timing of revealing this omen, and the ongoing conversation between Hongjun and his father, the first point can also be negated.

Then using elimination...

In the pavilion, Li Dazhi was anxious when he saw the situation: "This, is this Ping’an’s calamity?"

Hongjun sighed: "Only you can resolve it."

"It’s not," Li Dazhi feigned ignorance, hastily saying, "What’s going on? Isn’t Xingtian one of our Heavenly Court’s own? He had just vanished in the Misty Realm, this!"

Hongjun spoke slowly: "Xingtian is a hidden piece of the inner Heavenly Dao, this is the inner Heavenly Dao causing trouble, the inner Heavenly Dao wants to decapitate the Heavenly Emperor and take the throne instead."

Li Dazhi hurriedly said: "Teacher, what should be done then?!"

"This is a struggle within the Heavenly Dao, even a Daluo Golden Immortal cannot easily intervene in this matter."

Hongjun said:

"However, I can lend you a hand to enter the inner Heavenly Dao."

"As for whether you can pacify the inner Heavenly Dao or dispel this murderous intent, that’s up to you."

"But teacher, wasn’t the Illusionary Realm of the inner Heavenly Dao already destroyed?"

Li Dazhi quietly asked:

"I heard from Ping’an that the inner Heavenly Dao has already been cut off from incense supply and was only barely surviving on the power of the Sea of Blood.

"Teacher, don’t look at me like that, what I meant is, is it true that...

"How can the current inner Heavenly Dao be a match for our legitimate Heavenly Dao? The Heavenly Court stands firm here, and I reckon reincarnation will soon be established, so why should the Heavenly Dao fear an attack from the inner Heavenly Dao?

"In comparison, the inner Heavenly Dao is like an egg striking a rock against our legitimate Heavenly Dao."

Hongjun frowned as he gazed at Li Dazhi.

Li Dazhi’s endearing face showed some signs of distress:

"Teacher, why don’t you just tell me what you mean, I’m just a small Golden Immortal, insignificant in the Heavenly Court, ranking only in the teens in the Heavenly Dao sequence; crushing me is like crushing an ant for you.

"Like, let’s not beat around the bush."

Hongjun sighed softly, saying slowly, "This matter has nothing to do with me, it’s just that Ping’an is quite important to the Heavenly Court; even the Transcender praises his path of no-spirit."

Li Dazhi sighed, "So you thought, have me fill the gap in the Heavenly Dao, and in doing so, make Ping’an completely devoted to the Heavenly Dao?"

"Dazhi, you are indeed clever."

Hongjun sighed:

"It’s indeed like that, in this way, heaven and earth will be very close to perfection.

"But this is not to make you sacrifice, the calamity lies ahead, only you can resolve it."

"Besides, what benefits do you think I could gain from you?"

Li Dazhi blinked, "Teacher, is there no benefit in doing this?"

"I’m someone about to leave."

Hongjun’s eyes were full of helplessness:

"This world is controlled by the Transcender, I am also controlled by the Transcender, the Transcender only wants to ensure the world heads towards destruction, he doesn’t care at all how we resist.

"Now I can only do some things to make up for past regrets, after all, it was I who was bewitched by the Transcender back then, shattered the Creation Jade Disc, that the world ended up in today’s dilemma."

Li Dazhi smiled bitterly, "But, teacher, I do not want to die."

Hongjun remained silent.

Li Dazhi clasped his hands and bowed, hastily saying:

"I also don’t want Ping’an to die, is there a way for both requests to be fulfilled? Could you please grant it, teacher?

"Our family has always worked for the rise of the Heavenly Court and the perfection of the Heavenly Dao; even if there’s no achievement, there’s hard work, aren’t there? Teacher, you are directly saying, let me be swallowed by the inner Heavenly Dao, is truly!

"This disciple cannot be as selfless as you, teacher!"

Hongjun sighed lightly, "Since that’s the case, you may return."

Li Dazhi, upon hearing this, was overjoyed and turned around to sneak away.

But Hongjun’s voice took on a more chilling tone, "However, what calamities and challenges Ping’an will face next, that’s truly uncertain."

Li Dazhi’s body froze on the spot.

Li Ping’an: Damn, this old man isn’t even pretending anymore!

Hongjun sighed, "Dazhi, for the perfection of this world, today can only wrong you."

"Teacher," Li Dazhi slowly stood upright, turning around with a bitter smile, "Are you really the Hongjun Taoist who claimed he doesn’t want to be detested by all beings, but only wants to transcend at the last moment?"
