If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1059 The Great Emperor Ziwei
Fuqiu Gong expressed his gratitude to the Third Prince, but did not return to the mortal realm immediately. He still wanted to go to the Heavenly Court to find help.

Nezha understood what the other person was thinking, and only pursed his lips, not getting angry because of the other person's distrust.

However, deep in his heart, the thought of "reincarnating and undergoing tribulations to cultivate the Great Luo again" could not help but surface.

Even if one becomes an immortal, one cannot attain the Great Luo of the Righteous Path.

If you don't become a Great Immortal, you'll have no future and will be looked down upon!
Thinking of how, in the countless years to come, one after another outstanding generation, like Fuqiu Gong at this moment, would become celestial immortals, ascend to the Golden Immortal realm, and attain the Great Luo realm, thus becoming the "seniors" whom he must respectfully defer to, Nezha felt very uncomfortable.

"It's all that scoundrel Li Jing's fault! If he hadn't forced me to cut off my flesh to return to my mother and remove my bones to return to my father, I could have easily become a celestial being."

"That bastard! Before I'm reincarnated and undergo my next tribulation, I must find a chance to kill that bastard!"

In fact, Nezha, like Xiaoyu, also felt that the path of the celestial beings was incompatible with his own nature.

However, his dissatisfaction with the path to immortality was not perfect, which did not affect his hatred for his father for delaying his path to immortality.

Given the chance, such as if the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King lost his pagoda, he might actually stab that guy to death with a single spear.

As for the consequences, the worst that can happen is to pay with one's life and be reincarnated again.

Li Jing's "persecution" of him went far beyond the incident of "returning his bones to his father".

Even though he cut off his flesh to return to his mother and removed his bones to return to his father, Nezha had a powerful background. His master, Taiyi Zhenren, could use the "Taiyin Soul Refining" method to rebuild his physical body.

As a result, Li Jing destroyed the temple where Nezha collected incense and prayers, completely shattering his hopes of refining his soul through the Taiyin method.

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents.

The struggles for the Great Dao and the hatred for those who obstruct the path among cultivators far surpass the power struggles among mortals.

Other disputes can be resolved. But disputes on the path of spiritual cultivation must be life-or-death, with no room for compromise.

Nezha harbored resentment towards Li Jing for hundreds of thousands of years and still cannot let it go.

The main reason was that Li Jing disregarded the bond between father and son and repeatedly destroyed Lingzhuzi's path to enlightenment, either directly or indirectly.

It cannot be summarized simply as "father-son conflict" or "family ethics".

A moment later, at the Purple Palace in the North Pole.

"What? The Old Mother of Qiushan is actually Yu Fengxian?" Fuqiu Gong was dumbfounded.

The Purple Star Emperor asked in confusion, "You've already guessed it's Yu Fengxian, why don't you test her a bit?"
Why waste time coming all the way to Heaven?
Chen Sheng was already suffering terribly at this point.

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "Previously at the South Heavenly Gate, Nezha, the Third Prince, told me that wherever the Phoenix Fairy appears, something beyond the will of Heaven will happen, and it must be related to her."

I don't really believe it.

Yu Fengxian is powerful, but with my current level of cultivation, I actually feel that 'Old Mother Qiushan' is somewhat dangerous.

This isn't normal!

She can't threaten me.

In fact, Fuqiu Gong's spiritual perception was extremely accurate; if he went to the City God's Office, he would encounter calamity.

At this moment, "Song Hu" is still guarding outside the City God Temple, waiting to welcome "Father Immortal"!

The Ziwei Emperor sighed, "The Third Prince is indeed exceptionally intelligent. With just one sentence, he revealed a secret beyond the secrets of heaven."

Listen to him. In the future, if you encounter anything beyond fate or that cannot be accurately predicted, blame it all on Yu Fengxian.

You might get it wrong three or four times out of ten, but if you guess right six or seven times, you're very confident.

As for threatening you

Emperor Ziwei frowned and thought for a while, but he still couldn't quite figure it out.

Fuqiu Gong already possessed the foundation to sever the three corpses.

This time, I risked my life to enter the calamity, which was the final preparation for severing the three corpses.

Or rather, perfectly surviving this great calamity is the final test for him to sever his three corpses and complete his path to enlightenment.

Fuqiu Gong followed the path of "proving the Dao through ancient methods," leaving the "severing of the three corpses" as the final step in attaining the Great Luo.

Meng Qi had previously told Xiao Yu that she should complete the process of severing the three corpses as soon as possible after becoming an immortal.

Even before achieving immortality by forming the Golden Core, one must sever the three corpses.

Leaving the severing of the three corpses to the final stage is the "original method of attaining enlightenment".

After becoming an immortal, one should sever the three corpses as soon as possible. Before attaining the Great Luo realm, one should have already completed the severing of the three corpses, which is considered a "modern method of attaining the Dao".

The practice of severing the three corpses before becoming an immortal is based on the rapid development of the immortal path and a hopeful outlook for the future.

If Fuqiu Gong is a "primitive man" character in the game, then the future peerless genius will be a "Trisolaran".

Once Fuqiu Gong, a "primitive man," severs the three corpses, he can immediately attain the Great Luo, theoretically becoming untouched by countless eons, detached from the Five Elements, and free from reincarnation, thus becoming a "sage."

If Fuqiu Gong cannot perfectly overcome this great calamity and remains tainted by its aura, it means he is far from being a "Great Luo Golden Immortal untouched by countless calamities," and that he cannot successfully sever his three corpses.

Conversely, if Master Fuqiu possesses the foundation to sever the three corpses, then he is very close to being untouched by all calamities. He will be at ease during this great calamity, and can at least be considered a half-player in the game.

What makes Yu Fengxian a threat to such an existence?

"Yu Fengxian's cultivation is certainly not as good as yours. But she has mastered several great supernatural powers. Alas, even I cannot see through her. You should listen to the Third Prince's advice and go to Meng Zhenjun for help."

"I know Yu Fengxian well. She sometimes suffers from strokes, but she won't go crazy for something that doesn't benefit her," said the Ziwei Emperor.

Fuqiu hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Yu Fengxian has interfered with the normal operation of the Heavenly Cycle."

Is the Heavenly Court planning to send a celestial deity or star lord to the mortal realm to punish him?

He was about to attain the Great Luo realm and really didn't want to use his exquisite porcelain to touch that stinking pile of dog shit, Yu Fengxian.

The Ziwei Emperor shook his head and said, "I have observed Chen Sheng's destiny star. He will only face great calamities, not death."

Yu Fengxian will probably torment Chen Sheng, but she won't kill him.

She discovered Chen Sheng's dragon vein, but she didn't sever it!

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "Many of those dozens of Qi cultivators who supported the Dragon Court hoped that Chen Sheng would be the true Son of Heaven or at least a regional lord."

After tonight's crushing defeat, how much faith do they have left?
Even if Yu Fengxian didn't kill Chen Sheng, she would still dampen his spirit and diminish his fortune.

If the Heavenly Court sends a star deity to the mortal realm to make a statement, it should be able to salvage the situation.

The Ziwei Emperor said, "The Heavenly Court will not directly send star lords or gods to interfere with the change of dynasties in the human world."

Unless the predetermined number of days is disrupted by 'unusual factors'.

Yu Fengxian is indeed strange.

You can complain—that such a disruptive person shouldn't exist.

But you can't say she shouldn't have appeared in this great calamity.

As the de facto Grand Tutor of the Qin Dynasty, she could do anything to ensure the continuation of the Qin Dynasty.

Even if Chen Sheng is executed, her fate in the great calamity will be determined by cause and effect and karma.

Rather than the Heavenly Court intervening to punish them.

Dynastic changes are an important part of the development of humanity, and humanity should not tolerate interference from "outsiders." Immortals, gods, and demons are theoretically all considered "outsiders."

If the demon master Kunpeng, or some reclusive immortal, was originally an "outsider" with no reason to be involved in the great calamity, but now suddenly enters the game and directly interferes in the change of dynasties in the human world, greatly affecting the development of human order.

They would then be deemed by the Heavenly Court as "an anomaly that should not have occurred".

Conversely, if there is no "abnormality" but the Heavenly Court significantly interferes with the development of humanity, then the Heavenly Court itself will become an "abnormality that should be eliminated".

The Heavenly Court's duty is not to rule the Three Realms like an emperor rules the mortal people.

Instead, they act as agents of "God" to protect the order of Heaven from being disrupted.

Xiaoyu, on the other hand, was involved in the game from the very beginning.

Even though she slew Xiu Ge and rewrote the fate of northern China, she didn't encounter any obstruction from the Jade Emperor's star lords throughout the entire process.

Only after everything was over did the Jade Emperor activate her Three Calamities ahead of schedule.

It was the cause and effect and karma she "gained" in the process of defying fate that determined the power of the heavenly tribulation.

If Xiaoyu hadn't been so unruly and unwilling to obediently become a fairy in the Jade Pool of West Kunlun, she wouldn't have received even this level of punishment.

However, if Xiaoyu possesses the strength of a Great Luo Golden Immortal tens or hundreds of thousands of years later, and she has no major karmic ties with the human dynasty, she should not appear during the great calamity. Yet, if she directly intervenes in human affairs, she will be regarded as an "abnormal occurrence that should not have occurred."

As I said before, humanitarian matters should be decided and handled by the people involved as much as possible.

These are not rules that naturally exist in the Pangu world; they are rules set by top-level beings!

The final interpretation rests with those few "top figures".

Fuqiu Gong is someone who is about to sever the three corpses, so he must understand the rules and know the will of Heaven.

He hoped that the Heavenly Court would send a deity to punish Yu Fengxian, but he didn't want to put himself in danger.

"Your Majesty, your Zhou Tian Star Robe is still on Yu Fengxian. She is currently extremely fierce and behaving erratically, and it must be said that the Zhou Tian Star Robe has given her a lot of confidence."

Even with my current level of cultivation and supernatural powers, it would be extremely difficult to break through the starlight defense of the Zhou Tian Star Robe head-on.

After much thought, I believe that the reason why Yu Fengxian can threaten me is probably related to the Zhou Tian Star Robe.

She can use her great supernatural powers to beat me, but I can't even break the Zhou Tian Star Robe, so I can only take the beating.

Isn't this dangerous?

Once she uses the Zhou Tian Star Robe to draw upon the power of the Zhou Tian Stars and set up the Zhou Tian Star Array, I fear I will repeat the mistakes of Senior Huang An.”

When his attempt to call for reinforcements failed, he decided to take a step back and first dismantle Yu Fengxian's defenses.

After Fuqiu Gong finished speaking, he stared intently at the Ziwei Emperor.

In the early days of the Investiture of the Gods, Yin Hong wore the Eight Trigrams Immortal Robe of Chi Jingzi and charged wildly on the battlefield, impervious to swords and spears, and immune to water and fire, boasting arrogantly.

The Zhou Tian Star Robe is an innate spiritual treasure born alongside the Ziwei Emperor.

In terms of functionality, it is even superior to the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe.

It's because Xiaoyu is used to using the Great Destroyer to "sneak attack" that makes the Zhou Tian Star Robe seem to have little presence.

If she abandons caution and learns from Yin Hong, becoming arrogant and domineering, she could confront her enemies head-on.

When she unfurled her Zhou Tian Star Robe, there weren't many immortals in the Three Realms, and she was 100% confident she could take her down head-on.

To say that the Zhou Tian Star Robe is a game bug is a bit of an exaggeration.

However, in the context of this great calamity, it is indeed a moderately powerful advantage.

As a participant in the game, it is reasonable for Fuqiu Gong to report Xiaoyu to the "official" authorities and ask them to fix the bug and take back the cheat.

The Ziwei Emperor said, "I have long wanted to take back the Zhou Tian Star Robe, but I have not had the opportunity."

If Lord Fuqiu can help me retrieve the Zhou Tian Star Robe on this trip, I will be eternally grateful!

Fuqiu Gongmu is gone.

I was looking for your help, and instead you're asking me for help.

"If I dare to speak, given Yu Fengxian's arrogant nature, I will surely slap her across the face."

—You do have some self-awareness, but you know how I lost the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Robe.

I took sides back then, how can I have the face to speak today?
Emperor Ziwei muttered to himself, but said aloud, "Although Yu Fengxian wears the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Robe every day, she has never used it against an enemy."

With Meng Zhenjun by your side this time, she won't turn on you so easily.

“Since she is wearing the robe, she will definitely use it when the opportunity arises. Now that we are in the midst of a great calamity, if she uses it, it will have a huge impact and may even disrupt the established order of destiny,” said Fuqiu Gongdao.

The Great Emperor Ziwei said, "Let's talk about it after she's used it! She saved her life with my Zhou Tian Xing Chen Robe, and that settles the matter."

When the time comes, I won't need to actively retrieve it; the Zhou Tian Star Robe will leave her.

"The karmic debt remains unresolved. Unless she voluntarily returns the magical artifact, my summoning spell will be useless."

Fuqiu Gong's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked again, "Great Emperor, do you have any magical treasures that can counter the Zhou Tian Star Robe?"

The Purple Star Emperor said with a blank face, "Go directly to Lord Meng. Chen Sheng's calamity is not as complicated as you think. Lord Meng's influence is more than enough."

The last time Huang An borrowed the Zhou Tian Star Robe from him, he had already gotten himself into considerable trouble and was filled with remorse.

Fuqiu Gong even wanted to borrow a magical artifact.
If Huang An hadn't borrowed the Zhou Tian Star Robe, hadn't been so confident, and had been more gentle with Yu Fengxian, he probably wouldn't have lost his life.

Now, instead of learning from his mistakes, Fuqiu Gong wants to use magic weapons to bolster his confidence. Isn't he just repeating the same error?
Suddenly, the Ziwei Emperor sensed something and looked at Fuqiu Gong with a hint of worry in his eyes: he feared that he would have a hard time passing through this tribulation perfectly, and that the righteous path of the Great Luo who had severed the Three Corpses might become nothing more than a mirage.
Alas, the path to enlightenment is arduous, every step fraught with peril, like walking on thin ice!
In the end, Fuqiu Gong failed to borrow any magical treasures from the Ziwei Emperor, but instead received a lot of advice and admonitions.

Well, the emperor pulled him aside and talked to him about profound principles like "emptiness of nature and breaking attachments."

Finally, he was advised to learn from Yu Fengxian's magnanimity.

The Emperor’s original words were: “Have you ever heard of Yu Fengxian’s theory that ‘the ancestral dragon is not a dragon vein’?”

As the Grand Tutor of Qin, she could utter such wise and magnanimous words, which even amazed me and Laozi.

She not only put it into words, but also truly put it into practice.

She transformed into the 'Old Mother of Hills and Mountains', adjusting the earth's veins and nurturing and protecting the dragon veins of all the potential dragons.

If no one tries to sever the dragon veins again, and the great calamity ends, even if the struggle for the dragon fails, the dragon veins of the feudal lords will wither and die, but they will return to their original source on the land of China, which will be beneficial and harmless to the world.

If the Nine Provinces had previously borrowed three parts of their original essence to transform them into 'dragons'.

When they naturally perish, they can return seven-tenths of their original essence to the earth.

This is all thanks to Yu Fengxian.

Fuqiu Gong acknowledged that the Emperor's words made sense.

The problem is, what he lacks now is not grand principles, but a way to restrain Yu Fengxian and prevent her from threatening his power.

Since he couldn't borrow the magic weapon, he decided to invite a few more helpers.

Meng Qi, an old friend, is far from enough.

Meng Qi isn't even a Golden Immortal!
It would take at least three or five powerful Golden Immortals to subdue Yu Fengxian and make her submit obediently.
