The perspective returned to a short while earlier.
After devouring the remaining world's will of the Congyun Sea and returning to the Great Qi small world, the Faceless Holy Emperor finally gained a clearer understanding of the changes occurring within himself.
In the past, he needed to focus his full attention on the numerous trivial matters within the Holy Dynasty. The spare time left for his own thoughts was not much.
But now, without even using one-third of his strength, Li Ping could already handle all matters, big and small, within the Holy Dynasty with great ease.
Besides a pure increase in the quantity of his divine soul, Li Ping's senses also seemed to have become sharper.
He looked down upon this world and discovered the nascent, ignorant consciousness of the small world that was being nurtured due to the world's ascension. Previously, the Great Qi small world had only operated spontaneously according to instinct and did not show the obvious "personalized" expressions like the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao. However, because Li Ping had continuously transformed the Great Qi small world, it had already met the basic conditions for birthing self-awareness.
The birth of world's will is a rather lengthy process. According to Li Ping's estimate, at the current normal speed, it would likely require at least a thousand years.
However, if Li Ping continued to promote the ascension of Great Qi, this time would be shortened accordingly.
The Great Qi small world had reached its current state entirely due to Li Ping's transformations. Moreover, the fortune of the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi had merged with Li Ping into one, and the rising, unstoppable powerful fortune also exerted various subtle influences on the small world.
All were cultivators, born and raised by heaven and earth. But in Li Ping's case, the current Great Qi small world seemed more like his own creation. The grace of recreation was like that of heaven and earth as parents…
Sitting upright on the Holy Emperor's throne, all kinds of profound insights continuously emerged in his mind.
These were not only from his own thoughts but also aided by this world.
Li Ping felt that he seemed to have grasped some extremely critical information.
However, at this moment, his thoughts were suddenly disrupted by a warning in his heart.
"Hmm?"
The Most Disgusting Food Habits of PoliticiansOpen
After a quick check, Li Ping found that within the web of source power essence he had laid out, one of the prey actually showed signs of breaking free.
Strands of peculiar fluctuations emanated from that person, as if trying to escape the restraint of the golden giant net.
"Sun Luyuan?"
Li Ping still had some impression of this Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Dao Integration cultivator who had recently expressed his intention to pledge allegiance to the Holy Dynasty.
"Could it be that the people from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance have discovered and taken action?" Li Ping could not help but think.
But soon, he sensed what was happening to Sun Luyuan.
"Huh?"
Li Ping's heart instantly became somewhat grave.
Using the source power essence within Sun Luyuan's body, Li Ping instantly arrived by his side.
He stretched out his hand and placed it on Sun Luyuan's shoulder. Golden, surging power continuously poured into his body.
Not long after, Sun Luyuan's body, which had been slowly turning somewhat transparent, solidified once more.
"Thank you, Holy Emperor, for saving my life." Having realized what had just happened, Sun Luyuan spoke with lingering fear, his face full of lingering terror and gratitude.
Li Ping slowly withdrew his hand, but his perception still did not leave Sun Luyuan's back.
He could not directly observe the existence named Qingfeng.
Even the influence of Qingfeng's insights on the outside world and heavens could not be used.
"You are quite interesting."
If not for Qingfeng's voice happening to sound at that moment, Li Ping would have almost thought she was Sun Luyuan's illusion.
It was hard to believe that there were still things in the Xuanhuang Realm that he, Li Ping, could not observe.
"What exactly are you?"
There was no insult in his words; Li Ping instead asked somewhat solemnly.
Sun Luyuan lowered his head and completely hid the expression on his face.
Unexpectedly, Qingfeng did not get angry: "I want to know that myself."
"It is just a pity that I have forgotten." She said with some regret.
"My memory is a bit poor. Except for Little Xu, Ah Liu, and a few others, my impressions of the rest are not very deep…"
"What is your name?" Qingfeng asked.
"Li Ping." Li Ping replied concisely.
He sensed an aura on Qingfeng similar to that of Yin Shangren, yet subtly different.
"Perhaps I can help you recall it." Intuition told him that the secrets on Qingfeng might prove useful in the future war against the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. Thus, he offered proactively.
"Hee hee, I feel like you don't have good intentions."
Unexpectedly, Qingfeng saw through his thoughts with a single sentence.
"Sure enough, there are not many people in this world who truly mean me well." Qingfeng's tone once again turned resentful and low.
The moment Li Ping heard these words, golden source power surged forth spontaneously within his body.
This was a sign that his passive body protection had been triggered.
Since Qingfeng had chosen to act, Li Ping naturally would not be polite.
Behind him, the majestic phantom of the Holy Dynasty suddenly emerged.
Endless golden light flew out from the Holy Dynasty's image.
It formed a giant hand that directly seized the position where Qingfeng was located.
Li Ping thought that since he could not observe the other party, he might as well directly seal and take away the space where Qingfeng resided, then bring it back for slow study.
But this extremely unpredictable Qingfeng was not something that could be subdued by such a simple method.
The golden giant hand returned to the Holy Dynasty phantom, leaving behind only a black void. That was proof that a small piece of space had completely disappeared.
Yet Qingfeng's voice still came from that void.
"You want to take me back with you?"
"Do you want to be with me forever? If so, then why resist?"
"Absurd." In response to Qingfeng, the Faceless Holy Emperor let out a cold snort.
On Li Ping's originally featureless face, faint and blurry facial features vaguely manifested.
But they did not look like those of an ordinary human. They resembled the evolution of different energies.
Especially those two eyes, silver-white vortices as brilliant as the starry river in the sky.
"The power of heaven and earth, descend upon my body."
Li Ping's majestic voice resounded like thunder.
The sky above Luoyan Prefecture instantly changed color because of these words.
"If you want to drag me down, it depends on whether you have the weight to do so!"
Sensing his extremely close connection with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, Li Ping then released the protection of his golden source power and allowed Qingfeng's strange power to swallow him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bolts of lightning flashed within the dense dark clouds, and the earth trembled slightly.
The color of Li Ping's body faded for a brief moment.
But it quickly returned to normal.
On the contrary, something was actually pulled out from Qingfeng's side: some blurry images!
"Found you!"
Two beams of light shot out from Li Ping's vortex-like eyes.
They were like chains that locked Qingfeng in place.
"Come out for me!"
Li Ping shouted violently. The golden giant hand appeared once more.
It grabbed the silver chains and pulled fiercely.
The small black spatial cavity that had been slowly healing suddenly showed signs of violently collapsing outward.
