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

Chapter 1189 Ye Jiutian's Miserable Howls
Fuqiu Gong's heart stirred, and he asked, "Is the major event in Yan the King of Bohai himself?"

If one could kill a feudal lord, the whole world would surely be shaken.

“Kill him directly.” The old dwarf’s expression was conflicted.

Previously, the princes of the Ying clan did not have the Mandate of Heaven, so they could not kill them directly. It wasn't that they couldn't kill them, but that they couldn't be allowed to kill them.

Whether they act personally or secretly, the karmic consequences will be enormous.

After all, he was a prince of the legitimate dynasty of China.

Now that the princes have been promoted to the status of true "kings," killing them is tantamount to directly killing a ruler. The previous incarnation of the young Taoist boy Qingsong—Master Song—only wanted to kill the head of the Tian family, who had not yet become the King of Qi, but he died and his path to immortality was thwarted.

"After Guanzhong lost the Phoenix Cry Black Mountain Cauldron, has Yu Fengxian made any unusual moves?" he asked.

Fuqiu Gong shook his head, "She still doesn't care about anything else and is only focused on clearing the earth's veins."

After completing the reconstruction of the geomorphic veins of Lujiang, I went to central Fujian.

I spent three days in central Fujian, then headed west to Yuzhang, and then south into the Baiyue region.

The old dwarf exclaimed in surprise, "How did her speed become so fast? She stayed in Kuaiji for almost half a month before, and in Lujiang for seven or eight days."

Why did you only stay in central Fujian for three days?

The land of Mingzhong Prefecture was larger than that of Kuaiji and Lujiang combined.

And then there's Yuzhang and Baiyue, also vast territories. So, does that mean she's surveyed almost half of the Southern Continent?

Fuqiu Gong pondered and said, "She not only restored the blocked earth veins and water veins to their smooth flow."

She also fundamentally altered the structure of the earth's veins.

It transformed from a loose system into a dynamic whole.

I haven't fully figured out her 'Ancestral Dragon Stepmother Theory' yet.

It can only be speculated that the time required to adjust the earth's structure is unrelated to the earth's area.

It mainly depends on the degree of resistance from the will of the earth.

The more the earth rejects her, the more difficult it becomes for her to adjust the earth's structure, and the more time it takes.

Kuaiji almost became the main base of the anti-Qin movement.

The will of the people is the will of heaven and earth, which is why she caused trouble in Kuaiji for almost half a month.

The southern counties of Minzhong, Baiyue, and Yuzhang, which were originally almost entirely barbarian lands, immediately accepted the arrival of their "stepmother, the First Emperor," who was now showing affection to them.

The old dwarf's expression changed several times. "If she has sorted out the South, will she still have to go to the North?"

What would happen if she restructured the entire land of China?

"Judging from her current behavior, she will go to the north sooner or later. The anti-Qin sentiment in the Central Plains of the north is strong, and she will likely waste a lot of time there."

As for the complete reshaping of Shenzhou," Fuqiu Gong quickly calculated, "this will be of great benefit to Shenzhou. She will certainly gain a lot of merit, and the power over the land will not be diminished."

She doesn't hold the divine office of a 'Land God,' but she is the 'Great Land Goddess' of the entire land.

The old dwarf breathed a slight sigh of relief. "If it's only the Earth Goddess's authority, then there's nothing to worry about."

Fuqiu Gong said solemnly, "The local earth goddess of a hundred-mile area is nothing."

But she is the land goddess of the entire land of China. Never before in history has such a powerful 'land goddess' appeared.

The old dwarf laughed and said, "Brother Dao, have you forgotten that the Qin Dynasty will soon be engulfed in war and ruled by numerous kings?"

"Now that it has become the territory of the 'New Chu Kingdom,' would it really hand over land rights to Yu Fengxian?"

Fuqiu Gong sighed, "What a pity for Yu Fengxian, she was born in the wrong era!"
If she had been born two hundred years earlier, she might have truly attained the 'Ancestral Dragon Dao Fruit'.

Even if you can't become the legendary Ronaldo, you can still be a 'god'.

Even if the Qin Dynasty were to fall two hundred years later, she would still have enough resources and foundation to maintain her divine position.

The old dwarf said, "Brother Dao, she's our enemy, and you're actually feeling sorry for her?"

Fuqiu Gongdao said: "An enemy can also be a 'fellow Daoist,' and a fellow Daoist can also become an enemy."

We discuss principles, not friendships.

Her method of ancestral dragon cultivation is indeed powerful and innovative.

Lu Dingxian knew that recently, Fuqiu Gong and other great immortals had been keeping an eye on Yu Fengxian while studying her theory of the Ancestral Dragon.

He didn't argue with him, but said, "If anything happens in Yan, you must get Chen Sheng to start the uprising as soon as possible."

As long as chaos reigns in the Central Plains, and as long as destiny unfolds according to its predetermined course, whatever Yu Fengxian's schemes may be, they will ultimately be in vain.

Another half month passed quickly, and it was late July.

Ying Tong, the "King of Bohai" who was enfeoffed in the Yan region, was assassinated by villains while inspecting the drought conditions in the fields.

Although he brought his retinue, he was ambushed by dozens of assassins.

Caught off guard, Ying Tong himself was seriously injured, and his eldest son, Ying Fei, was decapitated and died on the spot.

For the first time since the Qin Dynasty unified China, a prince had been killed. The news immediately shook the Central Plains.

"Your Majesty, this case was committed by Yan Dan's son, Yan Wushuang. This year, there was a severe drought in the north. Yan Wushuang had a plan in mind and began stockpiling grain and gathering refugees early on, intending to rebel."

The arrival of King Ying Tong of Bohai must have threatened his plans, so he took the initiative to strike first.

Now that they failed to kill Ying Tong, but instead harmed the crown prince, Ying Tong will surely be furious.

"Yan Wushuang won't wait any longer; he'll probably raise the flag and rebel immediately," Gu Zhenjun said to Chen Sheng.

Chen Sheng exclaimed in surprise: "Didn't Prince Dan fail in his assassination attempt on Ying Zheng and get his entire clan exterminated?"

Many royal families of the six states of Shandong were able to survive.

Only the Yan region suffered the most, being ravaged by the tyrannical Qin dynasty, which nearly wiped out the Yan royal family and nobility.

Gu Zhenjun said, "I had never heard of the Prince of Yan having any descendants before."

Yan Wushuang himself claimed that when Crown Prince Dan was preparing to assassinate Ying Zheng, his mother was not yet pregnant and her status was not high.

Considering the consequences of a failed assassination attempt on the King of Qin, Prince Dan sent the concubine to the common people ahead of time.

After Yan Wushuang was born, she kept her identity a secret and remained unknown, which is why she was able to escape this calamity.

I don't know whether this matter is true or false.

Anyway, he raised the banner of "inheriting his father's command and avenging the people of Yan."

"He probably won't amount to anything, will he?" Chen Sheng asked anxiously, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Gu Zhenjun said in a deep voice, "He was able to ambush the King of Bohai and escape unscathed."

Even if we cannot revive the Yan state, we can at least incite chaos in Yan territory.

Chen Sheng asked anxiously, "Won't he steal my 'destiny of starting the uprising'?"

Gu Zhenjun sighed, "The mandate of heaven should have belonged to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is now hesitant to launch the uprising. The eighteen vassal kings of Qin are already beyond the reach of destiny."

According to the original number of days, there were never eighteen Ying clan princes.

Yan Wushuang's victory has astonished the world, but this is not a predetermined fate.

Alas, the secrets of heaven are in chaos; anything can happen, and even this humble Taoist has lost his bearings.

Chen Sheng's expression changed several times. "True Lord Gu, let's launch immediately!"

Gu Zhenjun remained calm and asked, "Is Your Majesty no longer searching for the Divine Cauldron?" "Have Zhang Er lead a group of extraordinary warriors to continue the search in Danshui. The remaining immortal masters, return to Tianzhu Peak immediately; we will launch our uprising right away."

End of July.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang gathered their subordinates, tore open their clothes, exposed their right arms, and swore an oath of blood and built an altar to worship Heaven at Tianzhu Peak.

They raised the banner of Xiang Yan, a former general of Chu, and called themselves "Great Chu".

Chen Sheng temporarily suppressed his ambition to become king and first declared himself "General," while Wu Guang became his commandant.

Within a single day, the Chu army captured eight cities, including Ji County, Qi County, and Fuli.

Then Chen Sheng's army split into two. Ge Ying, a local from Fuli, led 20,000 troops eastward, aiming for the southern part of Sishui and Jiujiang to the east.

Chen Sheng led a large army and declared that he would march north and capture Pengcheng.

The garrison troops of Sishui County and even several nearby counties were all transferred to Pengcheng.

An unprecedented battle involving more than 100,000 people is about to break out outside Pengcheng.

As a result, Chen Sheng's camp was empty overnight.

Tens of thousands of troops, along with Chen Sheng himself, have vanished without a trace.

Soon, an urgent report came from the west: it turned out that Chen Sheng had feinted and then turned his attention to the west.

Like autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves, they swiftly captured important cities such as Zhi, Zan, Ku, Zhe, and Qiao.

Chen Sheng originally had only 30,000 to 40,000 troops. He conquered cities and territories along the way, and recruited wandering knights and local warriors who were skilled in martial arts.

When they arrived at Chen County, the capital of Chen Commandery, they already had 7,000 elite cavalry, 80,000 infantry, and 1,300 chariots.

Including the laborers who transported the grain, the total number exceeded 300,000.

Surprisingly, none of the prefects, magistrates, military commanders, and county military officers of Chen County were in the city.

They led their troops to the neighboring Sishui County to support Pengcheng.

The county magistrate who remained in Chen County was indeed brave and valiant.

He personally led several thousand men out of the city to fight Chen Sheng, but was defeated, killed, and his entire army was wiped out.

Chen Sheng eventually occupied "Chen County".

Chen County was not only the capital of a prefecture, but also the former capital of the Chu Kingdom, and was located at the "crossroads" of the Central Plains.

The key point is that Chen Sheng not only occupied Chen County, but also the vast territory stretching from Dazexiang to Chen County, which was his domain.

Once his subordinates left in Dazexiang take Pengcheng, connecting Pengcheng and Chenxian, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to declare the "Chu Kingdom" truly revived.

Therefore, once the news spread, the Central Plains were greatly shaken, the whole country was greatly shaken, and the three realms were slightly shaken.

During this entire process, Grand Tutor Yu not only failed to show her face, but even the courts in Xianyang and Xingyang were unaware of her whereabouts.

It wasn't until Chen Sheng completed his long march and entered Chen County at the end of August, achieving his initial strategic objective, that Grand Tutor Yu leisurely returned to Xianyang.

"Grand Tutor Yu, is that you?"

When Grand Tutor Yu led Wang E into the Qingyu Division, Guan Zhenren inside seemed to be in a daze for a moment, his voice as soft as a dream.

"Who else could it be but me? You look much more haggard lately," Xiaoyu said.

Although Master Guan was already an immortal, he was now somewhat thin and bony, with a sallow and dull complexion. The fatigue in his eyes was more obvious than his eyebrows, and he even had two faint dark circles under his eyes.

"How could I not look haggard? Do you know how much has happened recently, Grand Tutor? From the beginning of June to the beginning of September, more than three months! Do you know how we've gotten through these three months?"

Master Guan was eager to be excited and had planned to be excited after seeing Grand Tutor Yu, but when he actually saw Grand Tutor Yu, he felt as if a breath had been deflated, and he felt tired and powerless. Even his shouts became much calmer.

Just as Xiaoyu was about to speak, a series of excited shouts came from outside.

"Grand Tutor Yu is back? Is it true?"

"Grand Tutor Yu, Grand Tutor Yu, where are you?"

When Xiaoyu turned around, the first thing she saw was a tall, golden-haired old sword immortal.

"Oh, Lord Lu Jin, why are you still here?" Her expression and tone even carried a hint of genuine disappointment.

"Where am I? What are you trying to say?" Lu Jin Gong asked casually, puzzled, then said resentfully, "Grand Tutor Yu, who has been clearing the earth's veins, surely knows about the changes in Guanzhong and the Central Plains?"

Xiaoyu said, "What's this little incident? The real show hasn't even started yet!"

Lu Jin Gong exclaimed, "The loss of the Great Yu Divine Cauldron is a minor matter?"
Back when you held the Huashan Daoist Debate, you recruited nearly 650 Celestial Masters. Now there are less than 50 left. Is that a minor matter?
There are also the true map of the underground treasure vault, but now only about twenty copies remain. This is a minor matter.

And then there's Chen Sheng from Dazexiang—no, wait, he's now the King of Chu in Chen County.

"Even the Chu state has revived a significant portion of its population; is that a minor matter?"

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Indeed, they are all minor matters. I won't stay in Xianyang for too long. In about three to five days, I will head south to Baiyue to deal with the 'Baiyue Legion' matter."

"Three to five days? What can you do in three to five days?" the Celestial Masters exclaimed in surprise.

Xiaoyu looked around at everyone and said slowly, "I don't need you here. Go back to your posts and don't delay your work."

"Grand Tutor Yu, don't you need my help?" Duke Lu Jin asked in confusion.

"Do you have something to do?" Xiaoyu asked.

Lu Jin Gong said awkwardly, "I am Wu Tian Shi. I once went to see He Bo."

Guan Zhenren truly endured three months of torment and exhaustion.

He was constantly torn about whether to leave Da Qin, and during this period of indecision, he did not work. When assigned tasks, he was absent-minded and just slacked off.

Talking to the River God was the only "achievement" that could be brought up, but nothing was accomplished.

Xiao Yu glanced at the map of the Divine Continent, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and calmly said, "Master Guan, you should rest! I'm going to see someone first, and I'll come back to talk to you later."

"Who are we going to see? I'll go with you," Lu Jin Gong volunteered.

"Then come with me." Xiaoyu waved her hand, picked up the square-headed, dark-faced little Taoist boy, and flew towards the sky.

Lu Jin Gong followed closely behind.

A short while later, the three of them landed one after the other on a mountain peak in the Qinling Mountains outside the city.

After landing, Grand Tutor Yu closed his eyes slightly, remained silent, and silently circulated his profound inner energy.

Lu Jin Gong did not understand her meaning and dared not disturb her, so he silently observed from the side.

After a short while, he vaguely sensed that the ancestral dragon's energy was churning within the mountain beneath his feet.

But even after careful observation, he couldn't figure out what was unusual about the Ancestral Dragon's aura.

After waiting for another half hour, Lu Jin Gong finally discovered a pattern: the aura of the ancestral dragon was pulsating in a very regular and peculiar rhythm.

"Grand Tutor Yu, who do we want to see? What are you doing?" He couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a low voice.

Grand Master Yu remained calm, his eyes still slightly narrowed. "How come your composure, as a seasoned Xuanxian, is inferior to that of a mere Daoist disciple like me?"

Lu Jin Gong glanced at the dark-faced young Taoist boy and asked in surprise, "Could this deity be King Guangfu?"

Wang E ignored him and focused on reciting the "Treatise on Righteousness" in his mind.

Just as Lu Jin was about to ask another question, he suddenly heard a faint, mournful wail coming from the southern sky.

He turned his head and activated his spiritual eye to look in the direction from which the sound came.

The next instant, he couldn't help but exclaim, "It's Ye Jiutian? What happened to him? Why is he howling in pain and flying back to the Qinling Mountains on his own initiative?"
