"It's all right," Houtu said softly, "If I can assist His Majesty, that would be wonderful... Is His Majesty aiming for the Chaos Bell?"
"I have such thoughts."
Li Ping'an smiled sheepishly:
"Such a magical treasure, I can't help but covet it.
"It all depends on fate, I won't push for it; currently the Chaos Bell should be in Hongjun or my teacher's possession, it's not easy to obtain it."
"I won't disturb you any further, rest well, fellow Daoist."
Houtu rose to see him off, Li Ping'an performed a Daoist bow and turned to leave.
On his way back to the Heavenly Court, Li Ping'an slowed his cloud pace, piecing together information from various sources in his mind.
He actually has some exclusive information, stemming from the memories of Emperor Jun's scattered soul.
When this information is connected and supplemented by the depictions from the Dragon Clan and the Witch Clan, he is very close to a certain truth.
East Emperor Taiyi is linked to the Transcender Teacher.
