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

Chapter 1124 The Great Destroyer's identity has been exposed, and the whole world knows!
King Mu was very capable of taking action.

Even before Grey Crane Immortal left, he ordered the Imperial Stud to prepare a carriage, and then pulled Grey Crane Immortal along to continue asking him about the story of "Grand Tutor Yu's Conquest of the Heavenly Court".

After the Grand Master of the Imperial Stud led the carriage to the outside of the blessed land, he bid farewell to the Gray Crane Immortal, sat down in the carriage seat, and personally drove the carriage, speeding towards the Fire Cloud Cave.

Last time, King Mu led a group of Qin "kings" to Huoyun Cave to plead with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to give Qin another chance.

Although they entered, they were left standing on the sidelines. They didn't even see a human emperor, let alone the Three Sovereigns.

King Mu was filled with unease as he carried Grand Tutor Yu's petition, knowing he was once again trying to curry favor.

On the way there, he had prepared several pleading sentences in his mind, and even resolved to kneel in front of the Fire Cloud Cave.

The result was completely unexpected.

As soon as his carriage entered the blessed land of Huoyun Cave, he saw two sages in tall hats and wide belts standing at the crossroads below the sacred mountain, waving to him.

Huoyun Cave is not a cave.

The "dong" refers to a cave in a grotto-heaven, not a mountain cave.

It has broken away from the Middle Realm, is higher than all blessed lands and grotto heavens, and is located outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, at the edge of chaos.

Outside the Fire Cloud Cave, a hazy, chaotic current of air surged, and occasionally one could see ferocious howls of extraterrestrial demons baring their fangs and claws, all of which were steadily kept out by the powerful golden light of merit and the power of fortune.

The extraterrestrial demon crashed into the golden wall of merit, like a mosquito landing on an electric swatter, burning into sparks and turning to ashes.

Inside the Fire Cloud Cave lies a vast and boundless fairyland, centered around a "Kunlun Divine Mountain".

The sacred mountain soars into the clouds, its top invisible at a glance. The mountain is covered with rare flowers and beautiful grasses, and is full of spiritual beauty. Fiery red auspicious clouds surround the mountainside.

This is also the origin of the name "Fire Cloud Cave".

King Mu galloped all the way from the underworld and arrived directly at the foot of the mountain.

To see the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, one must ascend the sacred mountain.

Last time, he and Mi Yue, along with other former kings of the Ying clan, were directly blocked outside the sacred mountain.

"Is that King Mu of Qin, Ren Hao?" A voice called out as the carriage entered the fairyland.

King Mu, seated in his chariot, had already seen them.

He had already turned around and was driving towards them. Upon hearing the call again, he immediately waved in response, saying, "It is I, Ying Ren of the Great Qin!"

Upon closer inspection, King Mu recognized the men and exclaimed in surprise, "Minister Qu Yuan and Minister Zichan, what are you doing here?"

Qu Yuan and Zichan were not kings, but legendary "ancient sages".

They lack royal authority, cannot find the direction of the Fire Cloud Cave on their own, and cannot enter this realm on their own.

After their deaths, they were invited by the master of the Fire Cloud Cave and, like many ancient sages, were welcomed into the Fire Cloud Cave.

Sages like them rarely appeared on the sacred mountain in the past, and mostly lived in seclusion in the vast fairyland, "living a carefree and leisurely life".

Therefore, King Mu found it strange to see them at the foot of the mountain, seemingly still waiting for someone.

“We are waiting for you. Emperor Fuxi foresaw that you would come to Huoyun Cave, and instructed us to guide you up the mountain,” Qu Yuan said.

Zi Chan's expression was somewhat strange as he said, "We've heard about the changes in the mortal realm and the Heavenly Court, and we're very curious. We're waiting for your news!"

"Hahaha, after all these years, my Great Qin has finally produced a 'sage'. Grand Tutor Yu has the ability to change the world."

"This expedition to the Heavenly Court has brought glory to our human race!" King Mu said with a smug look on his face and a hearty laugh.

Zi Chan sighed, "For the sake of your Ying family, you have caused unpleasantness between the human race and the Heavenly Court. It is hardly a glorious thing. However, Grand Tutor Yu's abilities are truly earth-shattering."

When she rushed into the Southern Heavenly Gate, all the Holy Emperors and Great Emperors were looking down at the Heavenly Court from the mountain!
Even with their limited capacity and shrewdness, they exclaimed in surprise several times, cursing repeatedly, "You dog!" and "What a lawless barbarian!"

"The Holy Emperor and the Great Emperor even cursed each other?" King Mu's smile was replaced by worry.

Qu Yuan said irritably, "Your Great Qin only has three years left to live, yet you've put on such a show, using the entire fortune of humanity to fight against the fortune of Heaven. Shouldn't you be scolded?"

And there's that plaque for the Lingxiao Palace.

Even the Jade Emperor gave in and granted her demands.

She even went so far as to violently slap the Heavenly Court's face. What was she after?

Zi Chan sighed, "What else could she be after? She's just a young man, after all, only interested in momentary pleasure! However, the Three Sovereigns only cursed her, so they probably weren't particularly angry with her."

Many of the ancient emperors were so excited that they shouted "Bravo!"

King Mu was slightly relieved and said, "Regardless of how many years the Great Qin Dynasty has left, Great Qin is still the legitimate ruler of China."

The Heavenly Court sent troops to suppress the Grand Tutor of Qin, the reason being that Grand Tutor Yu understood the will of Heaven and controlled destiny, and was too tyrannical and domineering.

Do you really think that humanity today is still the same as in ancient times, where even the human emperors had to perform 'labor service' in the Heavenly Court and could be arbitrarily scolded and punished by the gods?
Our Great Qin first had the Emperor's rule, then Grand Tutor Yu, forging an unyielding spirit for humanity!

"Alright, stop bragging." Qu Yuan said unhappily, "Human destiny is the foundation of the human race and is of great importance. It cannot be a protective umbrella for your family."

King Mu knew that this man from Chu had died a particularly unjust death and had a great deal of resentment towards the Qin people, so he didn't pay attention to his attitude.

Without even answering him, King Mu only asked Zichan, "I heard that the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, on the orders of the Jade Emperor, came to the Fire Cloud Cave to file a complaint. Has the Goddess left yet?"

"What do you mean by 'filing a false accusation'? That was the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, acting on the orders of the Great Heavenly Venerable. She was stating facts that we witnessed with our own eyes," Qu Yuan said coldly.

If King Mu had ignored him outside the Fire Cloud Cave, he would have certainly cursed him a few times, and if he had gotten angry, he might have even gone up and slapped him twice.

Zichan said, "The Empress is still here. It was because the Emperor foresaw your arrival while speaking with her that he sent us down the mountain to wait for you. You must be careful later."

King Mu looked sorrowful and lamented, "Alas, as the nation is about to perish, Grand Tutor Yu refused the Heavenly Court's offer of amnesty and was not afraid of the punishment for disobeying Heaven's mandate."

Loyal and courageous, devoted to the country and the emperor, they gave their all until their dying breath.

Can such a person not be considered a 'sage' of modern humanity?

Can't he become a model of virtuous ministers for all ages?

Why does Heaven persecute her, even to the point that it cannot tolerate her in the name of humanity?

Qu Yuan subconsciously wanted to mock the people of Qin again.

But after going over King Mu's words in his mind, he couldn't find any words to refute them.

This time, Grand Tutor Yu was truly unmoved by the high-ranking positions and generous salaries offered by the Heavenly Court, and he did not flinch in the face of the Heavenly Court's 100,000 soldiers. In the end, he was able to force the Heavenly Court to submit.

Such people and such deeds can be found in many similar examples over the hundreds of thousands of years of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, such as Tang Ju's fulfillment of his mission and Lin Xiangru's meeting at Mianchi.

But there is no one who can compare to Yu Fengxian.

Lin Xiangru was facing only the tyrannical Qin Dynasty.

The power gap between the State of Zhao and the tyrannical Qin was not particularly large at that time.

Tang Ju was indeed brave, using the anger of a commoner to frighten away the wrath of the emperor. But to say he won, or that the King of Qin was truly afraid, is debatable. Yu Fengxian was facing the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court!

Qu Yuan then thought of himself.

His greatest regret in life was that he was unable to use courage and wit to "defeat" the powerful Qin Dynasty and protect his father, King Huai of Chu, like Lin Xiangru and Tang Ju.

What Yu Fengxian accomplished this time was ten thousand times more insane than his wildest dream—to go to Xianyang alone, stand at the gate of Zhangtai Palace, and sternly rebuke the King of Qin, threatening to kill himself to force the King of Qin to admit his mistake and release King Huai of Chu.

Yu Fengxian is loyal, brave, and unparalleled throughout the ages!
Doctor Qu was convinced and softened his tone, saying, "King Mu, there is no need to be so sorrowful. The three holy emperors have unanimously concluded that Yu Fengxian is a 'modern Qin person'."

King Mu was taken aback and asked, "What is meant by a modern Qin person? If she's not a modern person, could she be an ancient person?"

Qu Yuan said, “The meaning of the modern Qin people is that she is not ‘abnormal’.”

As a completely normal person from the Qin Dynasty, everything she did in the Qin Dynasty, even if she knew what destiny was and tried to reverse it, was the natural order of things, and the Heavenly Court should not suppress her brutally.

Of course, her killing of Yama, causing havoc in the underworld, and violating heavenly laws are another matter entirely.

They committed a grave crime and deserved to be punished by the Heavenly Court.

However, she violated the Heavenly Laws and was punished by the Heavenly Court. This had nothing to do with the Fire Cloud Cave, and the Holy Emperor and the Great Emperor would not interfere.

King Mu's face lit up with joy. "So, Emperor Yu won't take away the Nine Tripods of my Great Qin?"

"I don't know. The Holy Emperor is still hesitating and hasn't made a decision yet," Qu Yuan said.

Zichan asked, "What is the purpose of King Mu's visit today?"

King Mu took out Grand Tutor Yu's petition and explained the purpose of his trip.

Qu Yuan took the petition and read it carefully. He curled his lip, his tone full of disdain, and said, "The Grand Tutor of Qin, is this all the literary talent you have?"

"What's wrong with literary talent? Sincere feelings and detailed content, isn't that enough? Do you have to write a poem that will be passed down through the ages?"

King Mu was not trying to save face for Grand Tutor Yu.

His literary talent was outstanding; among his own ministers, Grand Tutor Yu's level was already considered above average.

Well, King Mu was a "Western Rong overlord" who dealt with the Rong and Di tribes his whole life and had many famous ministers under his command.

Those renowned for their literary talent were not even worth his attention at the time; he was surrounded by a group of pragmatists.

"Yu Fengxian's conquest of the Heavenly Court is indeed a legend that has been passed down through the ages, worthy of a fine poem," Qu Yuan said.

“If you’re capable, you write it,” King Mu said.

Qu Yuan was truly inspired and wanted to immediately pick up his brush and write an essay titled "Grand Tutor Yu Rids the Dragon to Conquer the Land of Talent".

Although they climbed the mountain on foot, their speed was as fast as if they were riding the clouds.

Before we knew it, we had arrived at a magnificent and ancient blue stone hall on the mountaintop.

Huoyun Cave had no servants or maids, making it seem rather sparsely populated.

The vast square was deserted. Even upon entering the main hall, there were only fourteen or fifteen people.

The four great figures—Emperor Fuxi, Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Yu, and Suiren—accompanied the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, sitting on a mat.

Two other emperors and a group of sages sat cross-legged behind them.

King Mu had visited Huoyun Cave many times, but this was the first time he had seen so many powerful figures present at the same time. He was both excited and worried.

He knelt down respectfully, prostrating himself on the ground, and paid great respects to the Holy Emperor and the Great Emperors.

Then he kowtowed to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden before finally taking off his shoes and taking his seat.

Fuxi and the Yellow Emperor sat on the right, while the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady sat on the left, facing the two holy emperors.

King Mu sat alone with his back to the door.

Before he could even settle into his seat, he pulled out the remaining nine petitions and respectfully presented them with both hands, saying, "Reporting to the Holy Emperor and the Great Emperor, Grand Tutor Yu of our country has activated the human destiny by borrowing the Nine Cauldrons. We are filled with trepidation and unease, but we have a thousand reasons to wish to tell the Holy Emperors about this."

He personally wrote ten copies of the petition, which I instructed to take into the Fire Cloud Cave and present to the Holy Emperor and the Great Emperor.

"Another petition." The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's eyes flickered slightly. "Could I have a copy?"

The Yellow Emperor took the memorial from King Mu and immediately handed one copy to her.

"Hehe, it's best if you all don't look at it. This memorial contains ominous signs." After only a glance, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden smiled meaningfully.

Just as the Yellow Emperor was about to distribute the petitions, upon hearing this, he immediately turned the remaining eight petitions upside down in front of him and asked, "What ominous thing could a petition possibly contain?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden glanced at Emperor Fuxi and said, "Please, Holy Emperor Fuxi, use the River Chart and Luo Book to practice the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era and calculate the fortune and misfortune of Yu Fengxian's memorial—if the contents are accepted in their entirety."

King Mu was both puzzled and furious.

He felt that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was targeting Grand Tutor Yu and the Great Qin Dynasty.

However, even in front of the Holy Emperor and the Great Emperor, he dared not shout recklessly, and could only show his anger and grief.

Fuxi glanced at him, frowned and said, "I foresaw King Mu's arrival, and I also foresaw this petition. There is nothing unusual about it."

"The arrival of this document is normal, but it is ominous. Perhaps it was not Yu Fengxian's intention; her fate is too peculiar. Like a pile of stinking dog excrement, anyone who gets involved with it will suffer great misfortune," said the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

If anyone else had said this, the people here would have scoffed. King Mu, too, scoffed.

Fuxi and Huangdi exchanged a glance, took out a petition and placed it in front of them. They read through its contents, then took out the Hetu and Luoshu and performed the most authentic version of the Pre-Heaven Bagua in front of everyone.

A moment later, Fuxi stared at the memorial, a look of surprise on his face.

"There really is a problem. I'll try again."

This time, he rolled up his sleeves, his expression became more serious, and the ceremony became more formal, taking a full half hour.

He put away the tortoise shell and laughed, "Yu Fengxian has a connection with a chaotic demon god named 'Xi Hou' and has absorbed his demon god essence twice."

Especially recently, she obtained half a demon god's head from Bee Taoist, and she herself became a little demon god.

Those addressed with such respect by her will be tainted by a slight curse.

He looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and said naturally, "It's nothing serious, Mystic Maiden, you don't need to worry about it."

　(PS: Let me explain about the exposure of the Great Destroyer's father.)

　　Xiaoyu's Great Annihilation of Father is an innate supernatural power. The rule of the Pangu world is that once a supernatural power is used, it may be exposed, and once exposed, a way to break it can be found.

　　Even the Great Destroyer Dad is not immune to this rule.

　　Of course, since it is a supernatural power, it can naturally improve, just like Xiao Xiaoyu has improved "Calling Name to Fall Off Horse" many times.

　　I won't spoil the plot, just please keep watching. Xiaoyu won't suffer any setbacks or losses; on the contrary, she'll benefit greatly.
