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

Chapter 1064 The Mastermind Behind the Qin-Han Calamity - Level One

Xiaoyu wasn't deliberately showing off.

She possesses the "Great Father-Slayer" ability, which allows her to accurately determine which "godfather" is easy to kill and which has a unique skill that makes them difficult to eliminate during the deduction and elimination process.

Why was that adoptive father so difficult to kill? Was it due to supernatural powers, cultivation level, or magical artifacts?
Once the Great Annihilation of Father is triggered, she may know more about the "godfather's" capabilities than the "godfather" himself.

Currently, in the "Godfather Strength Ranking," Lu Ya Daojun is far ahead.

Supernatural powers, Taoist cultivation, magical treasures—a hexagonal warrior with no weaknesses.

Even with her current strength, she could only advance the "Lu Ya Annihilation Technique" to 5% before it stalled.

Beneath the chariot were the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors, the Heavenly Star Lords, the River God, and the Four Rivers.

Among all the star deities, Marshal Tianpeng is surprisingly strong and ranks at the top.

Xiao Yu estimated it was due to the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen" and the 80,000 Tianhe Navy.

But now, in just over half an hour, the method to kill Fuqiu Gong and the other three has reached 30% completion.

Only Fuqiu Gong himself stopped; the methods of annihilation for the other three continued to evolve and had not completely ceased.

Adding these four to the "Godfather Ranking" places Lu Ya at T0, while Huang Feihu from the Taishan Underworld is ranked in T1 alongside these four.

Yes, Huang Feihu, the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, is very strong.

Even with the Five Sacred Mountains True Form Map, the "method to kill Huang Feihu" is stuck at 70%!

Lacking sufficient strength, she died when she stormed into the Taishan underworld; Huang Feihu voluntarily left the Taishan territory, encountered her, and died.

The strength of the Four Friends of Qionglin lies in the fact that their power originates from themselves and they do not need the blessing of divine authority.

Whenever and wherever Xiaoyu encounters the Four Friends of Qionglin, he has to run away. At most, he can vent his frustration verbally before running away, like today. If a special opportunity arises, he might be able to sneak up and launch a sneak attack or two, then immediately run away after unleashing his ultimate move.

In short, they cannot confront the enemy head-on; their only option is to escape.

The Four Friends of Qionglin belong to the T1 tier, while the Star Lords led by Marshal Tianpeng fall to the T2 tier.

However, the difference between the two is far less than the huge gap between T0 and T1.

Meng Qi was unaware that Xiao Yu had a "Ranking of Godfathers Who Destroy Dads," and asked in confusion, "You just met Fuqiu Gong today, how do you know they are inferior to Daoist Lu Ya?"

“Have you met Daojun Lu Ya? I’ve met both of them. The pressure they exerted on me was on a completely different level,” Xiao Yu said.

Meng Qi looked at her with pity and said, "You must have been affected by the calamity energy entering your brain, causing your senses to become disordered."

Let me tell you, the Three Pure Ones are the 'Great Golden Immortals', they are 'sages'.

According to the ancient terminology, Lu Ya Daojun did not attain the Great Luo Dao, but was only a 'Quasi-Saint'.

Fuqiu Gong is about to attain the Great Luo, and is also a 'quasi-sage'.

Their cultivation levels should be roughly the same, with the only difference being the depth of their magical power.

However, once Fuqiu Gongzheng succeeds in attaining enlightenment and truly becomes a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he will far surpass those "old quasi-saints" like Lu Ya Daojun, whose future has been cut short.

Xiao Yu looked at him with pity and said, "Senior Meng, don't just focus on China. When you have time, go out and see the world."

Based solely on Meng Qi's words, she immediately determined the upper limit of his knowledge.

He knew very little about the true high-end combat power of the Pangu World, though he wasn't completely ignorant.

Meng Qi said unhappily, "I am a disciple of a sage, a celestial immortal, and among my close friends are many who are about to attain the Great Luo realm."

"You've only met Daoist Lu Ya once, yet you dare to act so powerful in front of me?"

Xiaoyu didn't want to have a pointless argument with him.

"Senior Meng, could you please give me a detailed introduction about the background of Master Fuqiu and his group?"

"Fuqiu Gong is from Luoshui. His Taoist name is 'Fuqiu Zi'. He is only one step away from severing the three corpses and will soon attain the Great Luo. He is considered a top-tier immortal in the Three Realms. Everyone respectfully calls him 'Fuqiu Gong'."

Li Futu, also known as "Master Futu," was from Gaoling. He mastered the Dao of "True Forms of the Five Sacred Mountains," but his level of attainment was slightly lower than that of Fuqiu Gong.

The name "Fu Tu" comes from the fact that he always carried the True Form Map of the Five Sacred Mountains. It is not the Innate Spirit Map of your Imperial Observatory, but a Celestial Immortal Daoist Method based on the True Form of the Five Sacred Mountains.

Guo Qiong severed two of his three corpses, demonstrating the depth of his cultivation.

Dong Ye was from Yin County, Kuaiji Commandery. Seven hundred years after becoming a celestial being, he severed his three corpses.

However, his innate talents were neither particularly good nor bad.

Dong Ye may not have been born with immortal bones, but he possesses a pure and unblemished Dao heart. Before becoming an immortal, he had already reached the state of "sitting in oblivion".

You may not know about Master Dongye, but if I tell you about another person, you will understand immediately.

That is Zhuang Zhou.

Zhuang Zhou did not possess the bones of an immortal, but he had the Daoist heart to "see through all things" and an innate state of "non-action".

In the Buddhist tradition of Lingshan, Zhuangzi was a born 'Buddha'.

Those who possess the heart of the Dao but lack the bones of immortality actually have a greater talent for cultivation than those who do possess such bones.

Xiaoyu nodded slightly. "No wonder."

No wonder Dong Ye was refining the Nine-Turn Bone-Changing Pill; it turns out he lacked immortal bones.

Or rather, it requires enhancing the immortal bones cultivated later in life.

Meng Qi asked curiously, "No wonder what?"

“No wonder Master Dong cursed ‘Damn it,’ he’s from Yin County, Kuaiji Prefecture,” Xiao Yu said.

Meng Qi's old face twisted in pain.

—I've told you so many secrets of the "Daoist Heart," yet you're only interested in Dong Ye's "Niang Xi Pi"?!
That's absolutely outrageous!
Seeing that he was really about to get angry, Xiaoyu quickly explained, "Didn't you tell me about the Dao Heart before?"

When I was in Xianyang.

So you don't need to repeat yourself; I already know how powerful Master Dongye is.

Meng Qi paused, then recalled what happened last year and sighed, "It's only been less than half a year, but it feels like so long has passed."

Previously, Dong Ye cursed "Niang Xipi" outside the City God's Office.

"You've been watching us all along?"

Xiao Yu said, "My title of 'Old Mother of Hills and Mountains' is not just for show; I am the true 'Mother of the Earth'."

At this moment, I merged with the land of Fuli County; the land was me, and I was the land of Fuli.

By sinking into the earth's veins and calming my mind, I can hear the surrounding world through them.

"I knew as soon as you landed, before you even entered the underworld."

"Then why did you make us wait for almost half an hour? Judging from your current appearance, you don't seem trembling with fear or anxiety," Meng Qi asked.

Xiao Yu frankly said, "Last night I learned from Gai Nie's disciple, the sword immortal Zuo Qiu, that Fu Qiu Gong was going to the Heavenly Court to ask for reinforcements."

For the past half hour, I've been secretly observing you, plotting against you and trying to get rid of you!

Meng Qi exclaimed in surprise, "You still say you haven't been affected by the calamity energy? You actually want to deal with four 'quasi-saints'?!"

Xiaoyu waved her hand dismissively, saying, "We should show more respect to 'saints' and stop calling them 'quasi-saints' so easily. They are just Golden Immortals, the same realm as Huang An."

Meng Qi shook his head repeatedly and said, "At most, Huang Daxian's magical power is deeper than theirs, and he has more supernatural abilities than them."

In terms of spiritual attainment and spiritual realm, Wong Tai Sin is definitely inferior to Master Fuqiu.

Besides, you were able to kill Wong Tai Sin last time because you had all the advantages of timing, location, and people.

"Without the Zhou Tian Star Array, how will you deal with a Golden Immortal?"

“I can’t handle them. But I’m not possessed by evil spirits, my mind is not in a state of madness, and I have to fight them to the death. If I can’t win, can’t I just run away?” Xiaoyu said.

Meng Qi stared intently at her eyes and expression, observing her carefully.

He only saw confidence and composure.

"Don't be careless! I have known the Four Friends of Qionglin for hundreds of thousands of years and we were once known as the 'Five Heroes of the Western Zhou Dynasty'. But even I dare not say that I fully understand their trump cards."

I cannot know for sure what powerful supernatural abilities they have cultivated or what mysterious magical treasures they have mastered.

You've only just heard of their reputation; how dare you boast of it?

Just because you don't know doesn't mean I don't know either.

Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Are the five of you close friends?"

Meng Qi nodded with pride and said with emotion, "Although I am tens of thousands of years older than them, I am a 'celestial being' of the same generation."

Our masters knew each other and were good friends; we used to address each other as fellow disciples.

Judging from the time we attained enlightenment, we belong to the same era of celestial beings.

Xiao Yu said, "But you are tens of thousands of years older than them, yet you are a celestial being from the same era."

"Now they're all about to attain the Great Luo Immortal realm, and you're still just a Heavenly Profound Immortal."

Meng Qi's face flushed red, his eyes filled with both shame and anger, and he shouted loudly: "Between friends, what matters is understanding each other; cultivation level and supernatural powers are not important."

I am tens of thousands of years older than them, yet it only took me a little over a hundred years to become a celestial being.

When I met them, they were still practicing Qi cultivation, while I was already a veteran Celestial Immortal.

But I have never presumptuously acted as a superior senior in their presence; I have always treated them as equals.

—But they're all about to attain the Great Luo realm, and you're only a Mysterious Immortal. Why aren't you one of the "Five Friends of Qionglin"? You were clearly known as the "Five Heroes" before.

Don't you have any self-awareness?

My college classmates, now twenty years after graduation, are all on completely different levels!
The key is that out of the five players, four are almost Ronaldo, and you're the only one who's underperforming.

There wasn't even a companion to comfort each other.

Xiao Yu thought to herself that she was complaining, but she didn't want to hurt him, so she took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Why did Master Fuqiu come to find me? And why did he call so many immortals? It's obviously to intimidate and scare me."

Meng Qi glared and said, "You still have the nerve to ask why Master Fuqiu is looking for you? Don't you have any idea what you've done?"

Xiaoyu recounted her experiences over the past few days in detail.

They only avoided plotting against the cultivators of Tianzhu Peak and getting them to activate the Great Annihilation Father.

"I saw injustice on the road and stood up for the Li family. I was only targeting the land of Lusi Pavilion, but Chen Sheng insisted on opposing me."

Not only did they stand up for the local deity, but they also led a group of Qi cultivators to humiliate me at the City God's Palace and force 'Old Mother Qiushan' to appear.

I have the ability to avoid being mistreated, so why should I put up with it?
"But I only gave them a minor punishment as a warning. It's utterly absurd that such an important figure as Master Fuqiu would get so worked up over such a trivial matter." She not only spoke with self-righteousness but also looked somewhat aggrieved.

Meng Qi frowned and said, "Why make such a big fuss just to punish one local deity?"

Xiao Yu said, "You're asking me? I'd like to ask Fuqiu Gong, Chen Sheng, and even 'Heaven'!"

Why did Chen Sheng protect Yu Xichi?

They've provided shelter.

'Old Mother Qiushan' has made her stance clear, supporting the Li family.

Why didn't he follow the normal procedures and take responsibility for the consequences of Yu Xichi's actions?

There were also forty or fifty Qi cultivators from Tianzhu Peak who came over in a grand procession and shouted insults at 'Old Mother Qiushan'.

Is this something a virtuous person would do?
Don't blame me for beating up Gu Zhenjun and the others; they really are no good and need to be disciplined!

They suffered a great loss at the hands of "Old Mother Qiushan" today, but it's actually a good thing for them.

From now on, I will be more cautious and law-abiding in my conduct and actions, and I will live a few more years.

Meng Qi hesitated and said, "They inexplicably had a major conflict with you, it seems to be fate."

You are the Grand Tutor of Qin, and they are rebels against Qin, planning to start a rebellion. Your fates clash.

Although you did not intend to cause conflict, under the influence of the calamity, you are no longer in control of your own destiny.

This seemingly inexplicable conflict is actually part of the entire great calamity of heaven and earth.

A feud today may lead to an even bigger conflict tomorrow.

Xiaoyu paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Since it's fate, are you still going to interfere?"

Meng Qi sighed, "Fuqiu Gong came to see you not only because of Chen Sheng's matter."

When I was in Xianyang, didn't I tell you many times that there were many powerful beings guiding this great calamity of heaven and earth?
I, an old man, went to Xianyang to become Grand Tutor, hoping to change the fate of the northern border of China falling to the enemy.

This move has been supported by some powerful figures, but opposed by many others.

Ultimately, I reached an agreement with the person behind Chen Sheng.

In the first ten years of the great calamity, I could try to defy fate and change my destiny, while Chen Sheng and other hidden dragons should remain patient and do not make their move.

Of course, at that time, the Qin Dynasty was still powerful, and if they dared to act on their own, they would not have had a good ending.

They waited ten years, both to give me face and to wait for the best opportunity, for destiny to arrive.

Ten years from now, when I leave Xianyang, Chen Sheng will surely rise up in rebellion this year.

The people I made an appointment with are several great immortals, led by Master Fuqiu.

Their role in this great calamity is somewhat similar to that of the Western Zhou's conquest of the Shang Dynasty and the role of the Chan Sect's immortals in the Investiture of the Gods.
Yes, in guiding the course of the great calamity, he should be more proactive than the Great Immortal of the Chan Sect.

Back then, the leader of the Chan Sect, also known as Yuanshi Tianzun, personally presided over the Investiture of the Gods.

The sect leader did more, while the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect did less.

No cult leader was involved in this great calamity, so Master Fuqiu and his group had more to do and a heavier task ahead.

He gave Xiaoyu a deep look. "You should know your own situation, right?"

Ten years ago, you were just a young girl, yet you dared to gamble with the 'God' (the Heavenly Emperor) on the street, and you actually won.

After that, you unexpectedly disrupted and even reversed the predetermined course of events several times.

Your suppression of Chen Sheng came without any warning.

Although Fuqiu Gong had never met Chen Sheng, he had been stationed at Tianzhu Peak for the past ten years, keeping an eye on Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and others.

He was fully aware of all the changes on Tianzhu Peak, both present and future.

Until you appeared.

Before you used your supernatural powers to capture Chen Sheng and dozens of Qi cultivators, Fuqiu Gong had no whims whatsoever.

There was no sign of change in the will of Heaven.

Then something unexpected happened.

Now, a rumor is circulating in Heaven—wherever the celestial immortals appear, a major event of celestial alteration has occurred. There's no need to calculate or deduce; nine times out of ten, it's related to you, or even that you were the one who did it.

You've come to the right place.

Xiaoyu's expression changed slightly, and she thought to herself, "Oh no."

The thing she had worried about and guarded against ten years ago has finally happened.
