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

Chapter 1115 Heaven and earth live together
"Father, this time you're the one who needs to lead the vanguard. Your son will stay behind and hold the line for you!"

When Li Jing ordered the drum to be sounded to summon the heavenly soldiers and generals to converge at the South Heavenly Gate, Nezha couldn't contain his excitement and said...

Li Jing, observing the expressions on Li Jing's face, immediately became more vigilant, and unconsciously tightened his grip on the pagoda in his hand.

However, he remained outwardly calm and asked, "My son, you used to be the bravest and most eager to be the vanguard. Why are you so cowardly today?"

Nezha glanced at him and said, "Father, do you not know my situation? I am a member of the divine path, and all my supernatural powers are supported by incense and divine power."

Faced with the aura of the Ancestral Dragon, the Divine Path followers could not unleash even 30% of their full power.

My father, however, achieved a celestial body, attaining sainthood in his physical form. Now, he cultivates the four arts of immortality: immortal, Buddha, god, and saint, completely unafraid of the dragon's energy's corruption.

It is a fact that Li Jing's supernatural powers and Taoist cultivation are inferior to Nezha's.

Without the exquisite pagoda, Nezha could easily crush Li Jing in just a few moves with one hand.

But Li Jing's vision and future prospects are indeed superior to Nezha's.

In terms of sheer good fortune, Li Jing even surpasses Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi.

Li Jing not only achieved physical immortality, but also ascended to heaven with his entire family, taking his wife and children with him. He was even able to have children with his wife.

He enjoyed the blessings of mortals, immortals, and gods.

Apart from the potential threat of his rebellious son Nezha, his life is almost perfect.

Li Jing sighed, "What are these four cultivations of immortals, Buddhas, saints, and gods? They're just constantly changing paths when one doesn't work. They're good at everything but bad at everything. I'm far inferior to Nezha."

“But my lotus root divine body really can’t withstand the dragon’s energy! If you’re not going to be the vanguard, and I’m not going to be the vanguard, then who will be the vanguard?” Nezha glanced at Taibai Xingjun.

Taibai Xingjun turned his head away, refusing to look at the father and son.

He is an angel!

Charging into battle was never his thing; if things turned bad, he would be the first to run away.

Li Jing said, "My son, this time we are not going to attack Yu Fengxian, but to stop her from running wild in the Heavenly Court!"
We'll set up the celestial array behind the South Heavenly Gate.

As she approached, he immediately activated the pure and ethereal celestial energy of the Heavenly Court to cleanse the aura of the Ancestral Dragon.

The dragon's energy is like a lump of mud; it needs constant washing to be completely washed away, morning and evening.

Without the Ancestral Dragon, Yu Fengxian is nothing.

Nezha was somewhat disappointed. "His Majesty ordered us to go out and intercept them! Setting up the army formation behind the South Heavenly Gate seems a bit cowardly."

He actually had a little scheme in mind: Yu Fengxian's ancestral dragon was so fierce, if Li Jing were to crash into it head-on, he wondered what his chances of survival would be.

If, like the Four Heavenly Kings, they were to die instantly, the Li family would be in for a "great joy."

"His Majesty has appointed me as commander-in-chief, but a general in the field may disobey the emperor's orders," Li Jing said in a deep voice.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Thousand-Mile Eyes shouted, "Grand Marshal of Demon Subduing, His Majesty has ordered the entire army to prepare immediately! Yu Fengxian is indeed charging forward!"

Li Jing's expression turned solemn, and he shouted, "I will obey Your Majesty's command!"

Nezha remained indifferent.

Xiaoyu once went to the Heavenly Court.

It descended from the Jade Pool to the mortal realm, flying downwards for millions of miles.

This time, the flight was not only faster, but also covered a shorter distance.

The sky is still as high as ever; the "material distance" between the sky and the ground has not decreased.

But this time she took a shortcut.

Or rather, this time she finally got on the right track, whereas last time she took a detour.

On a material level, going straight up or down is neither the shortest distance nor the normal path to heaven used by immortals.

She first entered the "Zongxuan Cave Heaven" in the middle realm.

I visited Zongxuan Cave Heaven last time and even impersonated the Golden Heavenly King, stealing some of his authority. I am very clear about the "coordinates" of Zongxuan Cave Heaven.

The Ancestral Dragon is the spirit of the earth's veins, capable of burrowing into the earth and mountains.

Xiao Yu thought to herself, "The heavens of the human world are the earth of the middle realm. If the Ancestral Dragon can drill into the earth veins of the human world, why can't it drill into the earth of the middle realm?"
Then she rode the ancestral dragon, thrusting upwards as if an ordinary person were jumping up, their forehead slamming into the ceiling.

They knocked a hole in the ceiling.

If in the human realm, when the First Dragon burrows into the ground, it's like pouring a bucket of water into the desert, leaving no hole, yet it penetrates deep into the earth's veins without any hindrance.

This wasn't the first time Xiaoyu had manipulated the Ancestral Dragon to drill through the earth's veins.

She left Xianyang to inspect the earth veins in the southeast. Wasn't she using the energy of the ancestral dragon to transform into a "little ancestral dragon stepmother" and freely burrow into the earth veins?
She can manipulate a portion of the Ancestral Dragon's energy to transform it into a smaller Ancestral Dragon, magnifying it millions of times, which means she can control the entire Qinling Ancestral Dragon.

She moved with practiced ease as she entered the main cave.

I just didn't expect that the earth veins of the immortal realm would not contain earthly evil energy.

For example, the Zongxuan Cave Heaven has a floating island. The island is very large, like a piece of land, with plains and small mountains.

However, neither the land nor the mountains are like the mortal world, which is filled with the power of earthly evil. They only have pure heaven and earth energy and various kinds of qi.

When the First Dragon crashed into the Zongxuan Cave Heaven, it did manage to create a hole in the heavens of the mortal realm and the earth of the immortal realm.

In this situation, she had no interest in the hole in the immortal realm.

She must press on and demonstrate her ability and determination to overturn the chessboard.

She didn't want to be like Sun Wukong, who would drive away one wave of gods only to be replaced by another, and then wait until she could withstand it before being replaced by yet another wave, an endless cycle that would eventually wear her down.

Once you've entered the Grand Mystery Cave Heaven, entering the Heavenly Court becomes much easier.

After Zulong entered the "Heavenly Court Passage" behind the Sanyuan Jizhen Palace, Xiaoyu saw the Heavenly Court landscape right in front of him.

"Ang~~~"

The dragon roared, shaking the heavens; the Ancestral Dragon had arrived at the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Then you see behind the door a huge platform that is ten times larger than Tiananmen Square.

The military formation on the platform was impeccable, with one layer standing on the ground and eight or nine layers added "in the sky".

Each celestial soldier was majestic and imposing, their golden and silver metallic armor gleaming, and the swords, spears, and halberds in their hands gleaming coldly.

Xiao Yu glanced over and realized that the number of heavenly soldiers and generals was definitely no less than 100,000!
"What kind of demon dares to trespass into the Heavenly Palace?"

Li Tianwang, holding a magnificent pagoda, hovered in the center of the army formation, letting out a thunderous roar.

"Go away!"

The First Dragon twisted his body, and the nine large cauldrons (eight real and one virtual) in his spine made a clanging sound inside his body.

Humanity's energy, like the Ancestral Dragon's "internal force," circulated rapidly within his body. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, a red light emanated from the top of the Ancestral Dragon's head.

As soon as the red light appeared, Li Tianwang, Nezha, and all the heavenly soldiers and generals felt inexplicably terrified and couldn't control their legs, so they ran wildly into the distance.

He cast aside all thoughts of military formations, immortal arrays, commander's orders, and the Heavenly Emperor's decrees, focusing solely on one thing: avoiding that red light.

The heavenly soldiers were bewildered. Li Jing, Nezha, Taibai Jinxing, and some of the divine generals all shouted in unison, shocked and bewildered, "Yu Fengxian, have you gone mad? Forcibly activating the national destiny of the Qin Dynasty, do you want the Qin Dynasty to perish today?"

During the Investiture of the Gods period, King Zhou wrote an obscene poem at the Nuwa Temple. Nuwa was furious when she saw it and personally went to Chaoge to have King Zhou's bones crushed and his ashes scattered. However, before she reached the palace, she was blocked by a wisp of energy.

That energy was the human destiny emanating from Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, the sons of King Zhou.

Just as Nuwa was preparing to kill King Zhou, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong were paying homage to him.

Sensing the will of Heaven, the destiny of the Shang Dynasty was displayed on Yin Jiao and Yin Hong. Two beams of red light shot into the sky and blocked Nuwa's way: If you go any further, you will clash with the destiny of the Shang Dynasty. Your destiny will cancel out the destiny of humanity in the Shang Dynasty. If you can bear the price, continue on; if you are unwilling to bear it, then retreat.

It wasn't that Yin Jiao and Yin Hong were exceptionally gifted or possessed special supernatural abilities.

Rather, it was Heaven's will that used their fortune and destiny to force out the fortune of the Yin Shang dynasty.

Yin Jiao and Yin Hong were sons of King Zhou, one of whom was also the crown prince.

They can carry and manifest the fortune of the Great Shang Dynasty, guiding its fortune into their own aura.

Xiaoyu was not a prince of the Qin Dynasty, but she used a special secret method to activate the humanistic fortune of the Qin Dynasty.

It is the red light emanating from the top of Zulong's head.

It has no special killing power, nor is it inherently effective against any enemy. Its only function is to test the enemy's luck.

The fortune of the Shang Dynasty was not only the national fortune of the Shang Dynasty itself, but also the fortune of the Chinese people.

After all, at that time, the Shang Dynasty was only on the verge of collapse, not already gone.

At this time, the Qin Dynasty was in the same situation. The Qin Dynasty was indeed running out of luck and was about to perish.

But the Qin Dynasty was still the legitimate successor of China, and the Qin Dynasty's fortune represented the fortune of humanity.

What is the result when a deity uses its own destiny to clash with the destiny of humanity?
To put it another way, what enabled Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones to become saints?
Isn't this just a matter of humanity and good fortune?
They can only become saints by borrowing the fortune of humanity, but permanently depleting a large portion of the fortune of humanity could shake their "sainthood".

Therefore, the goddess Nuwa swallowed her anger and turned to leave.

If even saints are like this, how can the gods like Li Jing and Nezha not tremble with fear and anger?
It should be understood that not only did sages achieve sainthood by borrowing the fortune of humanity, but even the current Heavenly Court of Humanity itself was established by borrowing the power of humanity.

The divine talismans and powers of the heavenly soldiers and generals all come from the Heavenly Court.

Upon seeing the red light emanating from the top of the ancestral dragon's head, the ordinary heavenly soldiers and generals did not understand what was happening, but were instinctively terrified, feeling that a great calamity was about to befall them.

"Roar~~" The Ancestral Dragon did not stop. With its head glowing red, it charged directly into the South Heavenly Gate, ignoring the scattered heavenly soldiers and generals, and continued to rush towards the highest palace in the Heavenly Court, the Lingxiao Palace!
"Jade Emperor, come out and see me!" the Ancestral Dragon roared. "You, as the ruler of Heaven, intend to judge the supreme ruler of humanity? Come! This Grand Tutor has arrived. Judge me, punish me!"

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Qianliyan knelt below the steps and cried out, "Your Majesty, Yu Fengxian has gone mad! For some reason, Yu Fengxian has actually activated the red light of humanity's destiny in the Great Qin Dynasty!"

She doesn't compete with the Demon-Slaying Grand Marshal and his group in terms of supernatural powers.

She's going to perish together with Heaven and with you!

The Jade Emperor angrily rebuked, "Nonsense! How much fortune does the Great Qin Dynasty have left? Even if we fight it, it will only cost you your divine positions and send you to the mortal realm for a few lifetimes. Why are you so distraught and screaming?"

This is true.

Even if a sage is stripped of his humanistic fortune, at most his position as a sage will be unstable, but it won't necessarily cost him his life.

These immortals certainly cannot compare to the sages in terms of fortune.

Saints may have unstable positions, but their divine positions and immortal fruits are definitely unstable.

Even if one loses their divine position and celestial fruit, they can simply undergo tribulations and be reincarnated in the mortal realm.

Because their luck has been cut off, they will be plagued by bad luck, hated by heaven and earth, and rejected by the human world. They will find it difficult to have any immortal blessings or connections in the next dozen or so lifetimes.

But that's just how it is.

It will not cause the soul to be scattered, nor will it obscure the true spirit.

"Your Majesty, the Qin Dynasty is doomed to perish! Yu Fengxian is going against the tide and will die sooner or later. There's no need for us to smash a pot with a porcelain bowl!" The civil and military officials cried out in alarm.

Zhu Bajie was only demoted to the mortal realm for one lifetime, but he lost his position as a star lord and his identity as Marshal Tianpeng.

A long line of deputy marshals and prospective star lords are waiting to be officially appointed!
If they are plagued by bad luck and reincarnate in the mortal realm for more than ten lifetimes, they will definitely not have a place in the Heavenly Court.

Without good fortune and rejected by humanity, they may not be able to regain their former glory.

"I am not forcing you to fight Yu Fengxian to the death, but she insists on fighting us to the death. What can we do?" the Jade Emperor sighed.

He appeared flustered, but inside he was incredibly calm.

Because what the Jade Emperor fears least is reincarnation and tribulation.

From the beginning of time to the present, he has experienced more than 1,700 major calamities and more than 103,200 minor calamities.

Let alone reincarnation, the true body leaves the Heavenly Court and wanders the mortal world for a lifetime, which has happened thousands or tens of thousands of times.

The number one expert in the Three Realms who has undergone countless tribulations, is he not just a name without substance?
The Jade Emperor remained calm, but the Queen Mother beside him panicked. "Your Majesty, even ants try to survive, let alone Yu Fengxian? Perhaps she felt she had been driven to the brink of despair, which is why she chose to fight desperately."

But you are kind and magnanimous, you never thought of driving her to her death!

You need to make her understand this.

Just because her husband is an expert at overcoming tribulations doesn't mean she is one too.

She is different from the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor was a primordial demon god, but he was a mediocre loser and didn't care about losing his "innate talent" in reincarnation.

The Jade Emperor didn't even mind discarding the bloodline of the innate demon god and being reincarnated as a pure-blooded human with great fortune.

Because he doesn't rely on his bloodline talent at all, or rather, he has no talent at all.

He has no talent to begin with, so what does he care about?
The Queen Mother is also a primordial demon god; her essence is the wondrous energy of Xihua.

If she were to truly reincarnate, her innate talents would inevitably gradually lose their purity.

The Jade Emperor wore his helplessness and incompetence on his face, sighing, "I truly did not intend to force Yu Fengxian to her death, but she is currently consumed by calamity and insists on summoning me to fight to the death. There is nothing I can do!"

As long as he's not in a hurry, it's them who are.

Even Yu Fengxian outside was anxious.

Hmph, you want to force me to submit? I'll just ignore you. Go ahead and drag the Heavenly Court down with you!
If I blink even once, I lose!
Hehe, you guys are getting impatient.

He wasn't in a hurry at all; in fact, he seemed a little pleased and smug.

The Queen Mother glanced coldly at her husband and said indifferently, "Since Your Majesty has no other ideas, I have no choice but to go to the Mi Luo Palace in Shangqing Heaven and ask the Primordial Heavenly Lord to resolve this matter."

The Jade Emperor's expression froze, and he silently cursed in his heart, "You vile woman!"
