"Why not seize the opportunity?"
The Great Mage gave a thumbs-up: "Ambitious! If you need anything during your retreat, feel free to come to me."
"No need."
Li Ping'an glanced at the situation in the city:
"Later, my battle body will stay here to heal, while my true self will enter the Chaos Sea to cultivate. It could be as short as three to five years, or as long as several decades before I can return.
If anyone comes looking for me, Zi Yao in the Heavenly Court can handle it. If anyone from the Taoist Sect seeks me, I ask Uncle Master to speak on my behalf."
"A small matter, rest assured, no one in the Taoist Sect can disturb your retreat."
Li Ping'an cupped his hands: "Thank you, Uncle Master."
The Great Mage smiled and shook his head, saying no more.
On the third day of the Heavenly Court's arrival in Xuan Capital City, Li Ping'an's true self transformed into a mosquito and flew into the Chaos Sea under the watchful eyes of the Great Mage.
