The Taoist intention arose in the nine heavens, and the sound of thunder arose in Xizhou.

Li Ping'an sailed across the nine heavens, waiting for his opportunity to appear.

In his estimation, even if the human side had the upper hand from the beginning of this war, it would take at least dozens of days to complete the encirclement of the Lingshan area.

Therefore, he looked down at all living beings from a high place, and gained inspiration from thinking about the relationship between "war and peace" and "living beings and the way of heaven". Without much hesitation, he began to meditate with his eyes closed and comprehend carefully.

He has been on the battlefield between humans and monsters;

That experience gave him a deeper understanding of the war between creatures that began to break out below, and many clear, realistic, flesh-and-blood pictures emerged in his heart.

Gradually, Li Ping'an's inner feelings began to overflow.

He is comprehending the way of heaven;

Also comprehending the way of life;

Or perhaps, he is not practicing Taoism, but trying to understand and resonate.

A killing cry suddenly appeared in my ears;

Li Ping'an seemed to be back in front of Suiye City again. Looking at Centurion Fu Yu who looked like a demon, his eyes suddenly went blank again.

Like a flying bird, he was at the site of the great battle in Xizhou, looking at the millions of creatures below that were colliding like torrents and dams, and at the monster soldiers that began to retreat on a large scale in just a moment.

We also saw beast herds raging, and large numbers of monster beasts appeared on several frontal battlefields. These monster beasts besieged the human battle formations from all directions, and their numbers were incalculable.

Suddenly hearing the strange sound of the flute, all the demon soldiers' eyes turned red.

The demon clan has begun to use the "Spirit-Addicting Art".

Li Ping'an couldn't explain clearly what state he was in now.

He looked down at the small half of Xizhou, drifting and slowly, and had many enlightenments in his heart, and even directly knew the principles of "Spirit-Addicting Art".

——This technique requires planting talisman seeds in the demon soldiers and demon souls in advance, and it has a certain timeliness. Generally, it will be planted in wine by the demon king and distributed to the unsuspecting group of demons to drink.

The appearance of the herd of beasts and the "Spirit-Addicting Art" has gradually increased the intensity of the frontal battlefield.

Li Ping'an watched all this silently, comprehending all this.

Heaven seemed to be trying to tell him some truth, letting him understand that it is inevitable for living beings to fight each other;

Or Tiandao wants him to understand that by containing the strong, Tiandao protects the world and more living beings.

In Li Ping'an's perception, there seemed to be some problems with the flow of time.

His current state is like the soul leaving the body, but it is more mysterious than the soul leaving the body.

The soul still resides in the spiritual platform, and there are no differences in the spiritual platform;

The previous breath, he was still overlooking half of Xizhou, and in his eyes he could see the rolling torrent of the power of living beings;

The next breath he took, he seemed to be standing in the middle of a tragic battlefield, with magic weapons flying all over the sky, looking at the beasts, the demons were torn apart by the human battle formation, and the immortal soldiers who had exhausted their immortal power were swallowed up by the beasts...

Invisible and traceless, erratic and natural.

It was as if he had become the eyes of Heaven, and it was as if Heaven had given him countless pairs of new eyes.

An unknown amount of time passed like this.

The battle line began to move from south to north.

After the humans and demons each suffered more casualties, the coaches of both sides began to consciously lengthen the front line and reduce the intensity. The humans began to focus on taking advantage of battle formations, magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs, and the demons began to continuously attack the rear.

Monsters, make cheap monster soldiers.

In the desert of Xizhou, on the mountains and beside the lakes, there are wars that have been raging since ancient times.

'What does Heaven want me to understand?'

'Or is this just the way of heaven allowing me to see clearly the scene of living beings fighting each other?'

'It's not quite right. Heaven doesn't seem to want me to do anything. It's because my Dao heart can't calm down, so I borrowed the power of Heaven and the sight of all living beings.'

Li Ping'an was speechless.

After realizing this, he stopped thinking randomly and concentrated on 'browsing' the battle.

He sometimes became the human race's immortal soldier, following behind the captain, following orders from behind, encircling and destroying monsters or charging fearlessly;

Sometimes it turns into a monster full of bloodlust, rushing forward blankly, biting everything it can touch;

Sometimes they become innocent creatures affected by the war, such as an old tree, a flower, a trembling fish, and an earthworm rolling in the mud.

Many wonderful insights come from within.

There were sentences in that "Tao Jing" that he had no deep understanding of before, but now they kept coming to his mind.

There is no reason, only nature.

Li Ping'an felt and thought like this while walking on the front battlefield of the Xizhou War.

Gradually, he was no longer satisfied with 'looking'.

He began to feel the emotions of these creatures who lent him his sight, as well as the strong desires in their hearts.

At this moment, Li Ping'an did not have any personal emotional tendencies and naturally wandered among the hearts of all living beings, hearing different voices one after another.

'Why can't these damn monsters die on their own! Kill! Kill them all!'

'I want to bring them back as much as possible... Damn it, if I had the cultivation of a heavenly immortal, I would definitely have fewer casualties...'

'Death, you are all going to die, you are all going to die here!'

"Why do you want us to come and fight against the human race? I don't eat humans. I am here to fight against the human race."

'Mom, I want to go home...'

Li Ping'an listened silently, but in his sight were bright red flowers that kept blooming.

War is never an art, nor is it a continuation of politics. It is creatures killing each other and competing for their own rights to survive in the world.

It is a sin to bully the weak and start a war based on one's own strength;

Fighting back against invaders to protect your homeland is justice;

In this war that has been going on since ancient times, are the human race absolutely righteous, or do they harbor sin? Many of these demon clans have absorbed the essence of the sun and moon and become spirits, and have been incorporated into the caves by the great demons. Are such creatures evil?

'It's just a different perspective on the problem.'

Li Ping thought quietly.

In the small boat above the nine heavens, Li Ping'an was surrounded by strong power of heaven, and the power of heaven was constantly changing, revealing almost the entire battlefield.

What Li Ping'an didn't know was that the war had already started for several days.

The Terrans launched a frontal offensive;

Under the organization behind the Western Sect, the demon tribe gathered the power of the Western Continent to resist the human offensive with all their strength, and as usual began to harass the northern section of Dongzhou and the coast of the East China Sea.

At this moment, there was no trace of Qing Su on the boat.

She is a golden immortal from the human race. Not even half a day after the war started, she couldn't help but join in the battle.

Li Ping'an has two masters, Fairy Ziyao and Gui Lingling, by his side, but Qing Su doesn't have to worry too much about the safety of her apprentice.

"What is Master Nephew trying to figure out?"

Gui Lingling sat on the turtle shell, tilting her head and looking at the Taoist charm surging around Li Ping'an.

Fairy Ziyao couldn't help but sigh slightly. Instead of answering Gui Lingling's question, she said:

"It's really strange that he doesn't have the fate of being a Heavenly Emperor, yet he walks ahead of a being like me who is destined by Heaven."

Gui Lingling asked in confusion: "What the hell? Ziyao, what are you talking about in your sleep?"

"I just feel that his understanding is amazing, or maybe this is not just a matter of understanding."

There is a bit more splendor in Ziyuanfeng’s eyes:

"He and the way of heaven don't just resonate with each other. The two influence each other. Compared with him, Emperor Jun back then was far inferior to him in understanding the way of heaven."

Gui Lingling rolled her eyes.

Why can't we talk and go together?

Zi Yao, however, didn't pay much attention to the battle below. He just stared at Li Ping'an's figure and thought about something quietly.

But her inner voice only circulated beside the treasure pool in the secret realm of West Kunlun.

'Last time he scolded me, but he was also giving me guidance.'

'But I almost took the wrong path. The way of heaven is above all living beings and is closely related to all living beings.'

"The opportunity for sanctification that I am looking for is actually not corresponding to heaven, but corresponding to all living beings. I want to be as close to all living beings as Nuwa did... This is not what I like, as all living beings have evil thoughts."

'Teacher, I regret why I didn't leave with you that day... However, when he establishes the Heavenly Court, I should have some opportunities.'

Queen Mother Xi thought quietly.

On the long axis of heaven and earth, the Great War of Xizhou continues to advance;

On the long axis of heaven and earth, the battle line continues to move north.
To be continued...
