Chapter 876: Chapter 246: Human and Celestial Talisman, Old and New Worlds

In this year, the Empty Boat of the Supreme Profound Sect and the Five Spirits Alliance brought back a large number of visitors from the Human World, but for over a thousand years there had only been the family of Li Ping’an. Now... due to the changes of the era, changes have occurred.

This year, Li Ping’an, who stepped into the Third Grade, found Master Wang to convey the Sect Leader of the Mu Xuan Sect’s request, hoping that Master Wang could forge a Third Grade weapon for him—an Array Flag.

Master Wang did not refuse, but he said he needed to wait. There were many reasons for the wait: insufficient materials, a hand injury, being in a poor state, unfinished work in the queue—in short, every excuse one could find in the marketplace was not missed.

As a Weapon Forger, Master Wang already held a prestigious status. Originally, he only intended to give this young man a small show of authority to make him understand the hierarchy between host and guest, but since learning that the Empty Boat was bringing back many new outsiders, he no longer just wanted to give a show of authority.

Li Ping’an must lower his head, must comply, must flatter them. And if he wasn’t even willing to give up a woman favored by a ’scion,’ then what kind of submission was that?

The Princess Consort Yin’s beauty could topple nations and was rare even in the Immortal Realm. Originally, it was just a matter concerning a local ’scion,’ but gradually it became a barometer of whether outsiders would submit.

Li Ping’an just silently endured, waiting for a residence, waiting for status.

...

This year, the Princess of Central Capital became increasingly arrogant and outrageous. She could no longer remember her father’s appearance, only vaguely recalling a man playing with her when she was very young, but that man’s face had become very blurry, obscured by the prosperity of Central Capital.

Fortunately, the group of people who pampered her were very reliable. For a Commandery Princess unable to cultivate, capable of living only a century or even a few decades, and for the child of that man, could they bear to offer any blame?

The fertile ground of this land was, after all, a blessing from that man. The strongest force in the Myriad Sects Academy on this land was also created by that man, so the blessings that fell upon his daughter could hardly be questioned.

Thus, the unreliable Princess of Central Capital was forcibly brought up as an "overbearing young lady, yet every malicious thought turned into a good deed."

Not only Central Capital but even those surrounding it and several other domains knew the Princess of Central Capital was a kind-hearted Commandery Princess. She did many good deeds, helping many people, both directly and indirectly benefiting tens of thousands who survived because of her, and improving the lives of countless others.

In short, all the good deeds on this land ultimately had their credit placed upon the head of the Princess of Central Capital. Even the Human Emperor often loved to "play the villain first, then direct a performance in which he changes due to the advice of the Princess of Central Capital," and she was always involved in disaster relief funding and the allocation of resources for Martial Artists.

In the eyes of the world, the Princess of Central Capital was a living Little Bodhisattva.

In Central Capital City, many had begun calling the Princess of Central Capital the Little Bodhisattva.

And the Commandery Princess who had been labeled a Little Bodhisattva laughed wildly; she still played madly, having whatever she wanted, uttering anything and a thousand people would help her achieve it.

And the label of Little Bodhisattva forcibly led her character "astray," "astray" to truly return to the "righteous path" of kindness. After all, whenever she traveled, those who greeted her, whether common folk or Martial Artists, always wore extremely friendly smiles, even vying to present her with their best things.

Confronted with such people, such good intentions, and so many calling her "Little Bodhisattva," the Princess of Central Capital could not bear to be willful or do bad things.

If an overbearing Commandery Princess cannot be kind to the world, then... let the world first be kind to the Commandery Princess, and naturally, she would be good as well.

This was the life arranged for her by the Human Emperor.

Such a luxurious and unimaginable arrangement could only be achieved by the Human Emperor.

...

...

The world passed by in a flash, and five years went by.

In these years, Li Yuan was still contemplating that "word," contemplating "wood" and "vortex."

He was waiting for the Human Emperor, as well as the changes in the Immortal Realm.

He did not rashly provoke anything.

A chess player must have some patience, at least not rushing to make a move before the ripples have settled, forcing himself in hastily and recklessly.

During this time, he secretly met with Empress Dowager Xie and countless times watched Xiaoyu’Er and his daughter.

But he was very patient, and very clear-minded, knowing he couldn’t appear because many with intentions had already sensed the anomaly of "Ximen Gucheng." If "Ximen Gucheng" appeared under the spotlight of this Imperial Capital, many secrets would be exposed.

A chess player should not be in an eye-catching position on the board.

If he were a nameless person, it might not matter, but "Ximen Gucheng" stood out too much, too conspicuous to withstand investigation and observation.

However, during this time, he continued studying the "word."

The technique of Celestial and Earthly Souls, he inquired through Xiaozhao, seemed to require some external artifact, which was likely found only in the Immortal Realm.

And the method of the Third Grade of Human Soul seemed to also require an external artifact, also found in the Immortal Realm.

However, Li Yuan was not planning to go to the Immortal Realm.

In the past, even in desperate circumstances seeking a Sixth Grade Skill, he had patience to arrange various channels, waiting until everything was clear before making a decision. So now he would not be any worse off than before.

From previous conversations with the Firefly Demon, he roughly guessed that the Immortal Realm was a colossal entity existing for about thirty thousand years, with foundations that could not be compared even to Xia, Shang, and Zhou combined.
