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

Chapter 1125 The Sages of Huoyun Cave Discuss Phoenix Immortals
"Is it because of the Chaos God?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden frowned. She couldn't say she doubted it, but her spiritual sense didn't quite grasp the meaning of "it's true as it is."

"Even the Jade Emperor, with his supreme and holy status, was tainted by a hint of misfortune in his petition!"

Fuxi sighed, “The Chaos Gods possess bizarre abilities and are extremely powerful and evil in origin. Even their followers, or even the followers of their followers, if left with only a fragment, could give birth to a Demon Ancestor and establish a Demonic Sect if obtained by cultivators of the Pangu World.”

Later, the Demon Ancestor's remains could become the objects used to suppress and kill powerful Golden Immortals.

Yu Fengxian, however, absorbed a massive amount of demonic essence.

That's a Chaos Demon God! And the Rhinoceros Wart isn't just any ordinary Chaos Demon God.

He was still not completely dead at this time, and he had his eye on Yu Fengxian, leaving a mark on her soul that she herself was unaware of.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for any abnormality to occur in her.

The Jade Emperor is indeed noble, but the Chaos Demon God and the Great God Pangu are of the same race.

Within the Pangu World, the noblest of bloodlines are merely 'Innate Demon Gods,' far inferior to the Demon Gods born from chaos!

However, this is ultimately the Pangu world.

Within the Pangu world, there are a few evils, but they are insignificant and do not pose a threat.

I believe the Jade Emperor has already dispelled even the slightest trace of misfortune, hasn't he?

If not, then the Great Celestial Venerable is incompetent!

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden hesitated and said, "His Majesty the Jade Emperor felt very unwell at the time, and I don't know what his current situation is."

The Queen Mother of the West ordered me to investigate the situation of those whom Yu Fengxian respectfully addressed as "Father and Mother".

Time was too tight; I hadn't had a chance to return to Yaochi to look for the documents.

King Mu finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked in surprise, "Grand Tutor Yu respectfully addresses you as 'Grandpa and Grandma,' what's wrong? Is it ominous? Have you offended the Chaos Demon God?"

Fuxi said, "It's nothing serious, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand."

Then he said to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, "I have read this petition and I basically agree with its contents."

Yu Fengxian did indeed use the divine power of the Nine Cauldrons to stimulate the fortune of humanity.

But she did not steal humanity's fortune.

At this time, she was the Grand Tutor of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the Great Qin Dynasty was the legitimate successor of China. Using the imperial fortune to leverage the fortune of humanity precisely shows that the Great Qin Dynasty at this time was on the right path of humanity in some respects.

The Qin Dynasty was worthy of being a leader of humanity, hence the divine favor bestowed upon the Grand Tutor of Qin; this is the normal order of cause and effect.

King Mu was thrilled. Great Qin was on the right path. If it continued on this path, how far away would the Mandate of Heaven be?

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!" he respectfully asked.

Fuxi nodded slightly. "King Mu, please speak."

He handed the petition to the Yellow Emperor, indicating that he could read it.

The Yellow Emperor kept one copy for himself and distributed the rest of the petitions to other emperors and sages.

They all watched intently, some frowning, some nodding.

King Mu suppressed his excitement and said, "The reason why Grand Tutor Yu was able to stimulate the human destiny is because she created the 'Ancestral Dragon Heart Sutra'."

He recounted in detail what he had heard from the Gray Crane Taoist about the "benevolence and selflessness of the Ancestral Dragon Heart Sutra".

In conclusion, "Therefore, the Holy Emperor and the Goddess Xuan Nu have absolutely no need to worry about Grand Tutor Yu abusing the power of human destiny."

The fundamental premise for inspiring humanitarian spirit is benevolence and selflessness.

If she intends to seek personal gain for my Ying clan, she will be unable to activate the spirit of humanity.

"Benevolence and selflessness." Several emperors and sages all showed expressions of amazement. "Yu Fengxian's Ancestral Dragon Heart Sutra is truly ingenious, yet perfectly reasonable!"

Fuxi also praised, "Just by the fact that she uttered these four words of the Heart Sutra, it proves that Great Qin is indeed on the right path and is qualified to inspire the destiny of humanity."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden pondered, "It's a pity that it's too late to comprehend the way of 'benevolence and selflessness' at this time."

Yu Fengxian was powerless to change the still tyrannical reality of the Qin Dynasty.

The people have suffered under Qin for too long; the Mandate of Heaven will not change.

King Mu's expression changed; he wanted to argue, but lacked the confidence to do so.

If he were still alive, as the Emperor of Qin, he would surely shout: "I hereby appoint Grand Tutor Yu as my adoptive father, and I will follow her arrangements in everything. I will definitely reform the corrupt practices and make Qin great again!"

But he was just a dead man.

Fuxi sighed, "That is true. However, the fate of Qin is in the hands of Qin itself."

The destiny and fate of Heaven are protected by the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor.

Huoyun Cave guards the fate of humanity.

Everyone has their own role and destiny.

Yu Fengxian defied the laws of Heaven, killing Yama and the Heavenly King, and wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld. Her crimes were heinous and she deserved severe punishment.

"But it shouldn't be the Fire Cloud Cave that punishes them; that's the Heavenly Court's prerogative."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said, "The case between the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld has actually been resolved."

However, the Nine Cauldrons are related to the fate of humanity, and it is indeed the responsibility of the Holy Emperors and Great Emperors of Fire Cloud Cave.

Fuxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "According to our original plan, we will retrieve the Nine Cauldrons from the mortal realm after this great calamity ends."

The Nine Tripods are sacred artifacts of humanity; from now on, no dynasty of any one family or surname should even think of taking them for itself.

The great calamity of heaven and earth has not yet ended, and according to the 'destiny,' the Nine Cauldrons still belong to the Qin Dynasty.

While King Mu felt reluctant to part with them, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Qin Dynasty were to perish, whether the Nine Tripods were reclaimed or not would be irrelevant to the people of Qin.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said, "Now that the destiny has changed, it may not be appropriate to follow the previous plan."

Emperor Yu then spoke up, saying, "Holy Emperor, and Goddess Xuan Nu, you probably don't know that taking back the Nine Cauldrons at this time is not something we can decide on our own."

The cauldrons are in Yu Fengxian's hands; taking them back from her will not be an easy task.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden exclaimed in surprise, "Great Emperor, you forged the Nine Cauldrons. Isn't it a trivial matter to take them back with a mere thought?"

Emperor Yu looked helpless and said, "If it were before, it would indeed be a trivial matter that could be resolved in a moment."

For example, I was the one who "let go" of the 'Xuzhou Ding' back then, preventing the Qin state of Ying from collecting all nine dings.

If that cauldron were still there, Yu Fengxian would surely be even more powerful and domineering today.

—You bastard, it turns out you stole the Xuzhou Ding of my Great Qin Dynasty! No wonder Ying Zheng searched for so long but couldn't find it!
King Mu harbored considerable resentment: Why were the previous dynasties of Qin able to preserve the Nine Tripods intact, but when my Qin unified the world, one of them was missing? Your Majesty, please be fair!
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said, "Yu Fengxian only has eight large cauldrons in her hands, yet she used a secret method to simulate the spirit and form of the ninth Xuzhou Cauldron, almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Could it be that she has seen the Xuzhou Cauldron with her own eyes?"

Emperor Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Perhaps you have seen the images, and then simulated the spirit of the other eight cauldrons to replicate the ninth cauldron."

Perhaps she saw the real Xuzhou Ding and studied it for a long time; I can't be sure.

Let alone anyone who has ever seen the Nine Cauldrons, I can't even sense their location all the time. I could before, but now Yu Fengxian is using the Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique to transform the Nine Cauldrons into a stream of energy, which is perfectly fused with the earth's energy.

Then she used the dead ancestral dragon of Qinling to conceal the aura of the Nine Cauldrons.

Just as she had demonstrated in public before, the Nine Cauldrons merged into the dragon's body, transforming into the dragon's veins and acupoints. The cauldrons, the ancestral dragon, and the divine land were all integrated into one. Alas, new talents emerge in every generation, and this generation of 'newcomers' are all too powerful.

The number one military genius, the number one war god, and now it seems that a number one grand tutor has emerged.

We cannot control the specific course of this great calamity!

We will also need the Heavenly Emperor to put in more effort to protect the Mandate of Heaven, but not to interfere excessively, so as to ensure that the general trend of human affairs evolves smoothly and naturally.

From now on, let's not allow the Heavenly Court to wage war against the legitimate dynasty again. Any karmic consequences can be settled later!
Even if Grand Tutor Yu committed heinous crimes, could he be more despicable than King Zhou, who acted as the lewd goddess Nuwa?

King Zhou was able to outlive the Shang Dynasty until its fate was exhausted.

Grand Tutor Yu pioneered the ancestral dragon's path of 'benevolence and selflessness,' a legacy that will endure for eternity!

It's fortunate that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was so well-mannered; if it were Xiao Yu, she would have been excited and shouted: "You want the Heavenly Emperor to protect the Mandate of Heaven from being altered, but you also want us not to interfere excessively? Aren't you making things difficult for 'honest people'?!"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden didn't call out, but was shocked by the information revealed by Emperor Yu: The First Grand Tutor can be compared with the First Soldier Immortal and the First War God. Is Yu Fengxian really going to defy the heavens?

The Yellow Emperor sighed, "Yu Fengxian was born in the wrong era! The era of the Human Emperor is about to end, and the Nine Cauldrons will be taken back from the Fire Cloud Cave."

The ancestral dragon's way of 'benevolence and selflessness' appeared far too late.

If humanity had emerged tens of thousands of years earlier, the situation would certainly not be what it is today.

Unfortunately, times have changed. Even if the dragon-slaying technique were left to future generations, who would be able to cultivate it?

Emperor Yu said, "As long as the dragon vein is still there, she can still practice the Ancestral Dragon Path, at most the effect will not be as good as before."

Fuxi glanced at King Mu, who was listening intently to the secrets of heaven, and frowned, saying, "You've gone off on a tangent. Now let's just talk about the Nine Tripods!"

Emperor Yu paused for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed after realizing what he meant. "Ahem, what I mean is, theoretically, only the 'Grand Tutor of the Dynasty' who controls the dragon vein of the Great Qin Dynasty could possibly retrieve the Nine Cauldrons."

If I were to forcibly seize the cauldron, I would first alert Yu Fengxian.

He patted the petition in his hand and sneered, "Don't be fooled by her extremely humble tone in the petition."

Xuan Nu, do you believe it or not, if I were to take away the Nine Cauldrons, that guy would definitely use every means at his disposal and not give an inch?

They also shout and say hurtful things.

If she finds an opportunity or a way out, she might storm the Fire Cloud Cave and point her finger at us dead ghosts, cursing us.

If a disgraceful conflict were to break out between the Divine Continent Dynasty and the Fire Cloud Cave, not only would the scene be unsightly, but it would also violate the original intention of the Three Sovereigns in establishing the Fire Cloud Cave.

We only care about the general trend and uphold humanity and destiny.

The changing of dynasties in the human world is overseen by the Heavenly Court, with deities from the Dragon Court directly intervening.

If anything really happens, we should do it all. Why should those great immortals earn human fortune to prove themselves as Grand Luo Golden Immortals?

If Yu Fengxian is an easy-going, powerless pushover.

Emperor Yu indeed granted the Heavenly Emperor's wish and retrieved the Nine Tripods ahead of schedule.

Using the red light of human destiny to sweep across the Heavenly Court was indeed insane; at the time, the saints of the Fire Cloud Cave were all somewhat frightened.

The sooner we get it back, the sooner we can have peace of mind.

But Yu Fengxian was no pushover; the Heavenly Emperor couldn't handle her, so he came to Huoyun Cave to ask for reinforcements.

The problem is, she dared to publicly humiliate the Heavenly Emperor, so how much weight does this dead human emperor hold in her heart?

Moreover, during this great calamity, there are many quasi-Great Luo Immortals who are determined to guide the calamity and take the final step.

They are Yu Fengxian's most direct opponents.

Expecting the saints of Huoyun Cave to pull chestnuts out of the fire for them is a pipe dream!
The Quasi-Daluo is a player on the chessboard of the Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth, but the Quasi-Daluo himself is also a piece on another chessboard. The Saints of Huoyun Cave are the "second-floor players"!
Since Emperor Yu had spoken and Emperor Fuxi had also expressed his opinion, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had nothing more to say. After exchanging a few more polite words, she took her leave and departed from the Fire Cloud Cave before King Mu.

Afterwards, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden returned to the Kunlun Wonderland.

In the Kunlun Twelve Book Towers, she searched for information on all those whom Yu Fengxian respectfully addressed as "father" and "mother".

When she returned to Heaven, the court assembly had already ended, leaving only a few craftsmen gods discussing the difficult issues of repairing the Lingxiao Palace before the Jade Emperor.

Before the Jade Emperor finished his court session, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden went straight to the Lingxu Palace to see the Queen Mother of the West and gave a brief account of what had happened in the Fire Cloud Cave.

The lecture focused on the "Heart Sutra of the First Emperor," which was relayed from King Mu.

"Yu Fengxian is indeed very talented in the way of dragon veins." The Queen Mother also gained a lot from this, and her mood became even more complicated. "Dragon veins are a combination of earthly evil and human energy. The light and ethereal immortal energy in the body of an immortal repels evil energy."

In order to avoid getting tainted by great karma and karmic burdens, the immortals also avoided getting too deeply involved in the mortal world.

Therefore, over the years, the Celestial Court has not studied the dragon veins much.

Yu Fengxian's achievements make her a true master of her generation.

If she were a Celestial Master whose primordial spirit had ascended to immortality, she could be ranked alongside Zhang Tianshi.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said, "Yu Fengxian's talent is indeed astonishing. Therefore, the longer the Nine Cauldrons remain in her hands, the higher the possibility that she will develop a new 'Ancestral Dragon Secret Technique'."

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "The Jade Emperor asked you to persuade Yu the Great to take back the Nine Cauldrons from Yu Fengxian, but I didn't have much hope to begin with."

However, the fact that Yu the Great was unwilling to retrieve the Nine Tripods and that he was unable to retrieve them from Yu Fengxian are two different things.

Do you think Yu the Great was deliberately making empty promises and showing favoritism towards Yu Fengxian?

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden said, "It shouldn't be a deliberate lie. Emperor Fuxi first stated that he would not take back the Nine Cauldrons from the Great Qin, and only then did Emperor Yu say that he could not take the Nine Cauldrons with a thought."

After all, any slight movement of the Nine Cauldrons would definitely alarm Yu Fengxian, and you know what kind of personality she has.

She will absolutely not surrender easily.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said, "Spread this message so that Fuqiu Gong and Luding Xian know about it."

As long as the Qin Dynasty has not fallen and the Nine Tripods still exist, the only way to ensure that the established destiny is not altered is to rely on the hidden dragon of the Divine Land and the immortals who support the Dragon Court.

Our Heavenly Court will try its best to help, but we can no longer send heavenly soldiers and generals to capture people as we did before.

Not only did they not take Yu Fengxian.

No one else should be touched if they are involved in the great calamity.

Previously, Yu Fengxian's "riding the dragon to defy the heavens" had at least one benefit—it served as a warning to the Heavenly Court, which was overwhelmed by calamity, and also clearly defined the boundary between the Heavenly Way and the Human Way.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded in agreement, and then said, "The matter of the 'inauspicious honorifics' that you asked me to investigate has also yielded results."

Yu Fengxian was born in the Shaman region and spent a year in the Red Sleeve Workshop of Western Shu. Calling everyone she met "father and mother" was a local custom.

This applies to all lowly and humble people.

Since the custom had become a habit, she herself didn't have any taboos.

More than 80% of those she respectfully addressed as "Grandpa" and "Grandma" did not have a good ending.

But it's not so much that she's tainted by bad luck, but rather that she's controlling him.

For example, in Yingxiang Prefecture, many people met with bad ends due to natural disasters.

The Fire God, Tianmen Town, brought disaster, and in the following years, Yingxiang Prefecture suffered frequent floods and plagues, all of which were "divine will".

It's not wrong to say they were implicated by Yu Fengxian, but they deserved this retribution.

She had several godfathers in her life, all of whom are dead, but they all spoke highly of her.

For example, Guan Huchen was killed by her own hands.

Guan Huchen is now being suppressed in the hellish realm of Fengdu, where he is surrounded by mountains of knives and seas of fire.

Knowing that Yu Fengxian had pulled strings for him, even his hatred for her lessened somewhat.

Then, the Goddess of Mystery repeated Emperor Fuxi's analysis.

The Queen Mother said, "Spread this word as well, so that Yu Fengxian's enemies will be more alert."

At least don't be fooled by her petitions and her humble words anymore.

From now on, whoever faces her, even a celestial being, must be careful and cautious at all times.

The path of destiny is mysterious and profound.

"A 'curse' that makes both me and the Jade Emperor feel ominous could really take the lives of others!"
