Why has the Ancestor of the Ming River suddenly awakened?
Li Ping'an almost instantly fell out of his state of enlightenment, locking eyes with the Ancestor of the Ming River.
The Ancestor's gaze first showed confusion, then fury, as he let out a deafening roar toward Li Ping'an. Rising like a mighty lion, the chains bound to his figure jingled in chaotic rhythm.
Li Dazhi and Lady Ba simultaneously leaped in front of Li Ping'an, while the Heavenly Slaves from all directions surged toward him.
"Ping'an, you brat!"
The Ancestor of the Ming River bellowed in anger:
"How dare you steal my Great Dao!"
Li Ping'an blinked, then smiled and replied: "The Great Dao exists within Heaven and Earth; living beings take of it naturally. How can there be talk of theft? Daoist, your Dao is obsolete."
With that, Li Ping'an stretched out his left hand. A taut crimson thread in front of him extended straight, and he flicked it lightly.
