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

Chapter 1086 The Arrival of the Heavenly Roc
"The Great Sun Golden Crow Small Heavenly Cycle Formation." Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Marquis Lieyang really doesn't know how to name things. The name is too difficult to pronounce, which makes it less imposing."

Grey Crane Master said solemnly, "This is not a name that Marquis Lieyang gave haphazardly."

The Heavenly Court now possesses the most powerful Zhou Tian Xing Dou Array in the Three Realms.

The Heavenly Court of the Primordial Demon Clan also possessed the Zhou Tian Star Array.

The Heavenly Court's Star Array is set up by 365 Star Lords, activating the origin of the stars and combining the power of the stars to unleash its strongest force.

In the ancient demon race's heavenly court, the demon emperor 'Di Jun' was the son of the sun, born from the sun star that was transformed from Pangu's left eye.

Other innate demon gods among the demon race, like Di Jun, are also innate demon gods, born from the earliest stars.

The current Heavenly Star Lords are mostly deities appointed by the Investiture of the Gods.

The innate demon god is the star itself.

Each innate demon god possesses a unique and supreme innate divine power.

The Star Array set up by Di Jun and his primordial demon gods is very different from that of the modern Heavenly Court.

Di Jun can combine the innate divine powers of the primordial demon gods into the even stronger 'Pangu Great Divine Power'.

It is said to possess the power of the god Pangu.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, who were confronting the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, set up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation, which evolved into the true form of Pangu and possessed the power of Pangu's physical body.

The true nature of the ancient war between the Lich King and the demon king lay in the supernatural powers of Pangu against Pangu's physical body.

At this point, Master Grey Crane couldn't help but sigh and said, "Judging from the final result, the divine power and physical body of the Great God Pangu were almost the same, both surpassing the realm of a sage. They canceled each other out and were reduced to ashes together."

The Demon Emperor died in battle, and many innate demon gods perished. Ancient stars, along with fragments of the Heavenly Court, fell to the earth.

The sky was dark and the world was silent. The three Dao Ancestors emerged to re-evaluate the earth, water, wind, and fire, and reshaped the great world.

Then humanity flourished.

Xiaoyu didn't show much expression.

She had also seen the secrets of the "Ancient War of Witches and Demons" that Grey Crane Immortal spoke of in the Great Qin Treasury.

"Is Marquis Lieyang imitating the ancient Heavenly Court's 'Ancient Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array'?" she asked.

She had seen the secrets of the Lich Wars, but she had not seen the secret manual of the "Great Sun Golden Crow Small Heavenly Circuit Formation".

I wonder if the Grand Commandant's Mansion in the State Commandery has a complete set of battle formation diagrams.

Grey Crane Master nodded and said, "Yu Yu can't find the Ancient Demon God as his subordinate, so he can only find extraordinary people with similar supernatural powers to the Ancient Demon God."

For example, the ability to hear the wind and see a thousand miles were originally innate supernatural powers of ancient demon gods.

The Fire Crow Army has only managed to gather enough powerful cultivators to form a battle formation.

Compared to the true Primordial Celestial Star Array, it is definitely much inferior.

However, the battle the other day only revealed the tip of the iceberg of the ancient war between the Lich King and the Demon King.

Xiaoyu nodded slightly and said, "Since the Fire Crow Army found the Wind-Hearing Army so early, our conversation just now was probably overheard quite a bit."

Yang Li, the young Taoist, said angrily, "The Marquis of Lieyang has gone too far. He dares to eavesdrop on the Celestial Masters of the Imperial Observatory at will? Does he really think he's the 'Regent King Lieyang'?"

Master Guan frowned and said, "You know perfectly well that there is a 'Hearer Who Can Hear the Wind' on the other side, yet you still say such things. Aren't you just asking for trouble for yourself?"

Yang Li, the young Taoist, exclaimed, "I am not Master Yu, who wants to be the 'adoptive father' of the Ying clan. I am ready to leave at any time. Once I leave Xianyang, I will immediately return to the Taoist Palace."

Master Guan said, “You are a bachelor, and you have no scruples. But your words and actions are unrestrained, which will not only bring disaster upon yourself, but also cause trouble for the Imperial Observatory.”

Besides, you're burdened with karma and cause and effect; do you really think you can just stay single forever?

You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever; sooner or later, you'll face your doom!

"Alright, alright, it's fine to grumble behind someone's back! Fellow Daoist Yang Li, come with me to the Underworld."

Xiao Yu looked at Guan Zhenren and Huihe Zhenren and said, "Since Marquis Lieyang wants to see and hear, you should also send him and his Fire Crow Army an invitation to the Imperial Observatory to witness the selection of the Grand Tutor!"

After sending Guan Zhenren and Huihe Zhenren away, Xiaoyu did not immediately go to the underworld.

She pulled Yang Li to a side hall and asked, "Who did you see when you went to the underworld?"
Why weren't all fifty of my petitions distributed?

Yang Li, the young Taoist, asked in surprise, "How do you know that the memorial to the throne hasn't lost its light?"

Xiao Yu said, "I wrote the memorial myself, stamped it with the 'Grand Tutor's Seal,' and even added the aura of the First Emperor of Qin to the seal."

I don't know which deity approved of my petition.

Whether or not I have received divine approval, I have a certain sense of it.

This is the truth.

In addition to directly judging whether the petition has been distributed properly by the number of Yama Kings who activate "Great Extinction Dad".

The petition itself can also convey some simple information.

In fact, only six of the Ten Kings of Hell were activated at this time, but more than one hundred "great gods" of the underworld had already activated the Great Destroyer.

A petition can win over not just one "godfather," but possibly a whole group.

The exact number is determined by the spirits who read the petition and accept its contents.

Yang Li said, "Indeed, there are still twenty portions left. There's no need to distribute them all."

This time we're not going to the underworld to pay homage to the emperor; we're just helping the Empress Dowager with her affairs after her death. We don't need to contact everyone.

Moreover, I only sent out thirty copies, and many ghosts and gods were already secretly laughing behind my back.

They're mocking your cowardice.

They also mocked our Great Qin Imperial Observatory, saying it was a thing of the past, lacking its former arrogance and majesty.

At this point, a look of resentment appeared on Yangli Daotong's face. "They've been waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves for hundreds of years."

Back when His Majesty the Human Emperor was still alive, even a lowly Taoist like myself, when I went to the underworld, had to be personally received by Yama, the King of Hell. The ghosts and gods of the underworld spoke to me with utmost care, and I had to be given a fee before leaving.

Now that I have just entered the underworld, I am being warmly received by two judges.

After I delivered your petition, their attitude immediately changed significantly.

Those dead ghosts are the most afraid of power and lack virtue, greedy for money and forgetting righteousness.

To deal with them, we must demonstrate strength and authority.

He spoke with great emotion, while Xiaoyu remained indifferent throughout.

After he finished speaking, she asked, "How many Kings of Hell could you defeat?"

Yang Li's expression froze. "So what if we can't beat them? We are the Great Qin Celestial Masters!"

"Without power, don't talk about dignity."

Xiaoyu asked again, "Can you see all the Kings of Hell? Can you submit my petition to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?" Yangli shook his head and said, "If I don't submit the petition, I might still see a few more Kings of Hell."

After I sent out the first petition, I didn't see a single King Yama.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is known for his ability to disappear unnoticed; even when the human emperor was still alive, we might not have been able to see him.

Xiao Yu said, "Go to the underworld again and tell King Yama that Grand Tutor Yu Fengxian of the Great Qin Dynasty will arrive immediately."

"And while I'm at it, I'll find a chance to distribute the remaining twenty petitions."

Yang Li said helplessly, "A petition can be seen by dozens or even hundreds of ghosts and gods."

We are only dealing with the spirit of Empress Dowager Zhao; there is no need to notify all the ghosts and gods in the underworld.

"I can assure you that in dealing with Empress Dowager Zhao, all the spirits and deities you encounter will have read your petition, understand your arrival, and will cooperate as much as possible."

Xiaoyu was also helpless, "Then you can just throw the rest of the petitions into the underworld or onto the Bridge of Helplessness!"
"To write a petition to the spirits and deities, and instead bring it home, is a great omen of misfortune!"

Yang Li was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh dear, I've made a stupid mistake! I actually brought back something meant for a ghost! It's unlucky, so unlucky! I—I still have to go to the underworld? Can't you just go directly there?"

Xiaoyu said, "I want to make a grand entrance. You lead the way, and I'll follow shortly."

Yang Li's face twisted as he exclaimed, "Even if I were willing to be your accompaniment, how can Grand Tutor Yu's grandeur be shown with only me as his 'servant'?"

Xiao Yu looked around and said, "Wait a moment, I have something to tell Xiao Linzi before I go to the underworld."

Yang Li wanted to ask what was wrong, but she had already shrunk into the ground and disappeared.

"Little Lin, use Earth Escape Technique to sneak over here!"

Xiaoyu hid in the Thousand Crane Temple in the backyard and used a secret method to send a message to Xiaolinzi.

"Master, what are your orders?" Xiao Linzi asked with curiosity and doubt.

Xiao Yu asked, "Do you know what those Qi Refiners in the front hall are planning to do?"

"What else can I do? I'll participate in the Grand Tutor selection, what's wrong with that?" Xiao Linzi asked, puzzled.

"I am now the Grand Tutor of the Great Qin Dynasty, aren't I? They want to compete for the position of Grand Tutor, so of course they are my greatest enemies!"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "Now, I must go to the underworld immediately to settle the vengeful spirit of Empress Zhao. Before I go, I plan to leave behind an external body to observe the aura and spirit of those great enemies up close."

Xiao Linzi hesitated and said, "Master, you don't mean to turn into me, do you?"

"You're so clever!" Xiaoyu smiled and nodded, saying, "Not only will I transform you, but I'll also send you to a 'good place'."

A moment later, Xiao Linzi's body swayed and he fell to the ground, his soul turning into a wisp of black smoke and being absorbed by the Demon Eye.

Xiao Yu then took a step forward, splitting off his Heavenly Roc spirit body.

As soon as Tianpeng's spirit body emerged, her heart suddenly pounded wildly, and a strange sense of unease and restlessness surged into the "Mingxin Palace".

Xiao Yu sensed something was wrong and immediately withdrew his Heavenly Roc spirit body, transforming into a wisp of yellow earth energy that sank into the earth, merging with the world of Guanzhong.

"Oh no! There's a Kunpeng demon god inside Xianyang City!"

A moment later, she found the source of her irritability and unease, and using her "divine eye to discern right from wrong," she found several anomalies.

One of the anomalies was a very familiar aura – the aura of Peng Shisan!

"It's only been half a year, and Peng Shisan has already made a comeback. Damn it, judging from his aura and demeanor, he has recovered completely. Not good, their senses are sharp, and they have already detected my spying."

Xiao Yu quickly withdrew her divine sense, maintaining her connection with the land of Guanzhong, yet without any thoughts or intentions, her mind as clear as a mirror.

She didn't look, didn't perceive, but in the darkness she "saw" a dark shadow soaring into the sky from a mansion in Xianyang City.

In the blink of an eye, the dark figure flew around Xianyang dozens of times before disappearing instantly.

"Such speed! Could it be the Pro version of the 'Soaring Across Ten Thousand Miles'?" Xiaoyu was both surprised and delighted.

The demon master Kunpeng possesses great supernatural powers, directly controlling "exclusive-level Great Dao Power".

His superpower is the full version of Promax.

The demon master selected ninety-nine as Heavenly Rocs, and taught each of them a divine power. The divine powers were reduced, and they could only use "Exclusive-level Great Dao Power", which is a Pro-level divine power.

Ordinary Tianpeng awakens or learns ninety-nine "innate divine abilities" and masters "exclusive-level power of laws".

Xiao Yu obtained ninety-eight Heavenly Peng Divine Powers from Peng Shisan, including one Central Divine Power, "Peng Claw Hand: Hundred Shots, Hundred Hit Rate".

Her boundless future was merely due to the extraordinary abilities of an ordinary race.

At this moment, Tianpeng, who had been startled, was much faster than her, so he must have mastered a higher level of "Soaring Ten Thousand Miles".

If Xiaoyu could obtain his demon core, his escape speed would increase even further.

"The 'Tianpeng Digital Gang' has also come to Xianyang to stir up trouble. Are they here to oppose the Qin Dynasty, or to investigate, or even arrest me?"

The excitement in Xiaoyu's eyes gradually faded, and her expression became uncertain.

"Finally, we have the advantage of location. Let's find an opportunity to activate the Great Destroyer!"

She took a step forward, leaving behind the "spiritual body of the Five Sacred Mountains".

The Five Sacred Mountains Spirit transformed into Xiao Linzi and used earth magic to return to the front hall.

Xiao Yu stood still, pondered for a long time, and then separated his Heavenly Roc spirit body.

Deep purple illusory bubbles appeared around Tianpeng's spirit body, and the surrounding landscape became nothingness. She quickly sank to the bottom of the dream, falling all the way into the "dream boundary" of Pangu's world.

That is, the place where the Bee Taoist's true form hid earlier.

Her Heavenly Roc spirit body is an embodiment of the "Way of the Heavenly Roc," not a body with the Heavenly Roc bloodline.

While at Mount Mangdang, Xiaoyu had already severed his own Kunpeng essence blood, so he was not worried about the Daoist method of bloodline detection.

Hiding the Heavenly Roc's spirit body at this time is to take away as much of the "Heavenly Roc's aura" as possible.

To be honest, Xiaoyu herself didn't know what "Tianpeng aura" was, but the restlessness and unease she felt just now were real.

"That scoundrel Peng Shisan, does he also want to participate in the 'Grand Tutor Selection'? Or, will he take advantage of the Grand Tutor Selection, the opportunity to fight me, to ambush me and kidnap me?"

If they are truly hiding among the 'competing Qi Refiners,' I left the Heavenly Roc Spirit Body in the front hall, waiting for the fighters to take the bait. They will most likely expose my disguise and discover the abnormality of the Heavenly Roc Spirit Body.

That was dangerous! I almost got caught.

Fortunately, Guanzhong is my territory. If it weren't working elsewhere, I would have to quickly finish this mess in Xianyang and continue to clear the land veins in various prefectures of China.

Once I control the lands of Kyushu, every part of China will be my domain.

Xiao Yu made a decision in her heart and didn't delay any longer. She instantly used earth magic to appear in front of Yang Li Dao Tong.

Yang Li was getting impatient and was about to call out when Xiao Yu flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind swept him into the Yin-Yang Path.
