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

Chapter 1254 The Story of the Stone

“But I remember that most of the real illusions displayed by the Qi Shadow Technique are actually real events.” Nezha then hesitated.

Huang Feihu, his face full of resentment, said, "Whether it's true or not, I don't know."

All we know is that she deliberately sent my brother to the Yue Temple in Zhu County to humiliate him in front of everyone.

They even falsely accused my brother of causing the collapse of Mount Heng.

The area for hundreds of miles is shrouded in malevolent energy, unable to see the sun. The Milky Way is about to overflow and flood the mortal realm; it's all my brother's fault.

Feihu said in grief and indignation, "Isn't this a miscarriage of justice for an honest man?! My brother was at most slightly negligent in his duty, failing to guard the Taishan Divine Palace in time. What does the calamity of the collapsing heaven have to do with him?"

Zhu County is some distance from the main peak of Hengshan Mountain, but the disaster caused by the collapse of the sky was so devastating that its impact was extremely widespread.

It should have been noon, but it was already dark in Zhu County, and the whole town was filled with fear and unease.

The slightest disturbance immediately caused a huge sensation among the people.

When the Black Tiger suddenly appeared from the Yue Temple, and when the Imperial Observatory's "sinful beast" played the Qi Shadow Technique, the streets were naturally deserted.

With tens of thousands of people watching, the news spread extremely quickly and widely, causing extremely negative impacts. Of course, what was "negative" was the mood of the Five Sacred Mountains Gods; Grand Tutor Yu must be very happy and pleased at this moment.

"What I mean is, since the Qi Shadow Technique is projecting real events, you shouldn't be killing people directly."

With so many people witnessing this, there's no point in arguing.

Killing someone is tantamount to handing over incriminating evidence directly to Yu Fengxian.

You all know her attitude towards the Five Sacred Mountains Gods.

They show no respect or fear whatsoever; they'll act ruthlessly if they can. The reason they haven't acted ruthlessly is simply because they haven't found the opportunity.

Seeing Fei Hu's slightly changed expression, Nezha continued, "Now that you've given her a chance, do you think she'll let you off easily?"
She even destroyed the Hengshan Divine Palace.

The key point is that she was completely unharmed, while the Heavenly King was going to die a tragic death.

At least while she held the reins of humanitarian power, you couldn't defeat her! That's an undeniable fact.

Why not endure for a few years, until her time comes, instead of confronting her head-on when she's at the height of her power?

Fei Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Since when have the gods of Heaven become so spineless? Publicly humiliated and slandered, they can't even slap the instigator to death?"

Nezha sighed, "Your Majesty, you think immortals don't need to be cowardly because they can easily kill those who humiliate them."

Now the tables have turned; Yu Fengxian can casually slap a deity to death, yet she herself hasn't suffered much retribution.

"My brother is in this state, how can she not suffer retribution? It's unfair, Heaven is blind!" King An Tian, ​​Cui Ying, cried out in grief and anger.

In fact, Xiaoyu did suffer retribution.

Even among those involved in the same case, there are masterminds and accomplices. Each "culprit" bears different responsibilities.

This isn't the first time that Grand Tutor Yu has guided the power of earthquakes to impact the Five Sacred Mountains.

In the past, her actions only created karmic connections with the Five Sacred Mountains, not sins.

Because she didn't harm anyone, but instead saved hundreds of thousands of people across China, she was even rewarded with considerable merit for her "humanitarian" deeds!

The key lies in cause and effect!

Cause and effect are not about right or wrong, good or evil; once you do something, you leave behind consequences.

Even if you save the world and gain great merit from heaven and earth, there is still cause and effect.

Due to the karmic entanglement, Grand Tutor Yu was tainted with immense sins during the Hengshan Incident.

But she wasn't the main culprit. She was just doing her usual routine, like taking a hunting rifle to her melon patch at night and accidentally killing a melon thief.

Secondly, after being implicated by his "pig opponent," Grand Tutor Yu did not weep and wail or complain about fate, but instead immediately took action to help and try to salvage the situation.

In theory, she had successfully carried out disaster relief efforts.

Hengshan's "Heavenly Pillar" is not a physical mountain peak, but rather a "vital energy vein" within the mountain. It is both an earth vein and a main vein of spiritual energy. It is an intangible yet real "Heavenly Pillar" that supports the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven in the Middle Realm.

As long as the "Heavenly Pillar" is repaired and can support the Zhuling Cave Heaven again, most of the crisis can be resolved.

Xiaoyu directly merged into Hengshan using the "Refining the Spirit of the Five Sacred Mountains of Hengshan: A Mixture of Wind and Wind," and became Hengshan.

She is not only the spirit of Hengshan, but also the land, the root, the mountain range, and the peak of Hengshan itself.

Xiaoyu's flesh and blood defied the origin and became "Secondary Primordial Qi", and then from "Secondary Primordial Qi" truly evolved Hengshan (ps).

She transformed into Mount Heng and merged with the broken pillar of heaven on Mount Heng, transforming herself into the pillar of heaven.

This is saving the world!

Why would God strike her with lightning?
The key point is that she did succeed, but afterwards, the immortals of Zhuling Cave Heaven destroyed the main peak of Hengshan Mountain, and the Heavenly Pillar was completely gone.

Having committed no major crime and having made amends for his mistakes, Xiaoyu's fate was completely different from Heihu's.

However, Xiaoyu had no interest in comparing herself to Black Tiger.

She didn't even pay attention to what was happening in Zhu County, focusing all her energy on "incubating Hengshan".

She is Hengshan, and Hengshan is her.

If Mount Heng were a person, the complete collapse and shattering of its main peak would be like a person whose head has been crushed.

Grand Master Yu diligently absorbed the vital energy of heaven and earth, using a special secret method to regrow a new head from the severed neck.

That is, what Nezha saw was a new hill growing out of the hole in the original site of the main peak.

To grow a mountain peak, especially Mount Heng among the Five Sacred Mountains, naturally requires a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Fortunately, there is a huge blood pack above Mount Heng – Zhuling Cave Heaven!
Mount Heng is like a tree, and Zhuling Cave is the fruit growing on that tree.

In the past, the fruit absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth through Hengshan Mountain, and also gave back a huge amount of spiritual energy to Hengshan Mountain, making Hengshan Mountain abundant in spiritual energy and a sacred place for cultivation.

Now that the fruit is dead, Master Yu did not let it fall, but left it hanging on the branch, slowly digesting and absorbing it.

Extract the essence of energy from the fruit to regenerate "New Hengshan".

Therefore, the dilapidated Zhuling Cave Heaven no longer drops huge fragments of the cave heaven; instead, it begins to shrink.

When the new Hengshan Mountain reached its "budding stage," the great cycle of the Five Sacred Mountains' energy veins and the earth's veins was finally restored.

Huang Feihu and the other three Heavenly Kings immediately came to Hengshan from their respective divine realms.

At this moment, Xiaoyu, who had transformed into "Hengshan itself", also entered an extremely mysterious state.

She became Hengshan, and her will became the soul of Hengshan.

Mount Heng is connected to the Five Sacred Mountains, so her will instantly connects with the Five Sacred Mountains.

The Five Sacred Mountains are the "pillars of heaven" of the Central Plains, and her consciousness once again spread throughout at least most of the land.

All the lands that she controlled (reconstructed the earth's veins) were now shrouded in her will.

In a daze, Xiaoyu felt as if she had become the Divine Land itself.

Then, she entered a completely new and higher realm: as "Shenzhou," she sensed the earth's veins and mountains beyond Shenzhou. She seemed to feel the entire human world and become the entire earth of the human world.

She was so engrossed in this state that she didn't even notice when Huang Feihu and the others arrived at "New Hengshan," which was her "body," through the earth's veins.

Just like someone standing on a mountaintop, overlooking the beautiful scenery of the vast land, wouldn't notice a few ants crawling out from the cracks in the rocks at the foot of the mountain.

"I want to mend the sky~~~"

In the vast darkness, Grand Tutor Yu, whose consciousness pervaded the human world, heard a murky, indistinct voice.

In truth, she could hear countless voices. She didn't know if they were human, ghost, or the residual consciousness of all living beings within the earth's veins. If the words "mending the heavens" hadn't become an extremely sensitive term at this moment, Grand Tutor Yu wouldn't have noticed them at all.

"I really want to mend the sky~~"

As Grand Tutor Yu concentrated on listening, the voice became clearer and its location was determined.

It is not in China, nor in Jambudvipa, but in the southeast of Jambudvipa, not far from Jambudvipa.

"Who are you, and why do you want to mend the sky?" Grand Tutor Yu asked in that direction.

The voice exclaimed in delight, "Great Immortal, you can actually hear your disciple's earnest call?"

Grand Master Yu asked in surprise, "I'm speaking to you through the earth's veins, from quite a distance. How did you know I was a 'Great Immortal'?"

The voice was indistinguishable between male and female, and also between young and old. The speech was somewhat unclear and sounded rather dull.

It said, "This disciple does not know who the Great Immortal is. I only heard you speak, and even though we were separated by a vast ocean, I guessed that you must be an immortal with great supernatural powers through the earth's veins."

"Oh, you do have some talent." Grand Tutor Yu asked as he traced the earth's veins to pinpoint its approximate location, "I heard you want to mend the sky, what's the reason for that?"

"This disciple is the stone that mends the heavens! This disciple was born with the destiny to mend the heavens. Today, the sky is broken again, and therefore I immediately sensed it," it said.

Xiaoyu was both surprised and delighted, and quickly said, "I'm currently mending the sky, and I'm just missing a piece of the sky-mending stone. You, uh, you already have sentience?"

To the southeast, separated by the East China Sea, the earth's veins are connected to the Divine Continent, seemingly in the Eastern Divine Continent.
In the Eastern Continent, there is a stone that mended the sky, and it has come to possess sentience. Oh my, isn't that the Monkey King?
Is the Monkey King about to be born?
"Great Immortal, are you in charge of mending the sky this time?" It was overjoyed, even ecstatic.

"Great Immortal, please have pity on my sincere heart and use me to mend the sky!" it pleaded desperately.

“You already possess sentience, so why bother mending the heavens? Just focus on absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and transform into a human as soon as possible!” said Grand Tutor Yu.

It cried, wailing in a sob, "Great Immortal, if this disciple were not spiritually enlightened, I would not know that Goddess Nuwa once refined stones to mend the sky, and all the stones were used to mend the sky, but I was useless and unworthy of selection, and was abandoned in the desolate mountains."

Later, after gaining spiritual insight and understanding shame, he inevitably felt sorry for himself and wailed in remorse day and night.

Today I have finally encountered the opportunity to mend the sky, and I have also been blessed by the great immortal and can speak. How dare I not work hard and strive to become a good stone?

"Please, Great Immortal, grant me more mercy and fulfill my wish!"

If Grand Tutor Yu were alive at this moment, his expression would definitely be very distorted.

—This is definitely not the Monkey King! The Monkey King is not this kind of person who cries and whines, yet is also very ambitious and has a strong sense of shame.

"Don't cry and wail. Where exactly are you? I'll come and check on you," Xiaoyu said.

Upon hearing this, Shi Tou immediately perked up and said, "This disciple is at the bottom of a cliff in a desolate mountain."

Half of its body was buried in the earth. It absorbed the essence of heaven and earth day and night, and now it was connected to the earth's veins.

"Do you have a name?" Xiaoyu asked again.

She had actually determined the approximate location of the stone by examining the earth's veins.

However, the scale of the ley line it was located on was far greater than she had anticipated, making it impossible to pinpoint its exact location.

The other party is like a rock, too inconspicuous to be found in the mountains.

Now she can only find the location and then use divination techniques to calculate step by step. To use divination techniques, one naturally needs to know more and more detailed information in advance to make more accurate calculations.

“This disciple is a fool, without a name,” Stone said in shame.

"Okay, I'll come find you right away."

Grand Tutor Yu did not delay. He kept his main body integrated with Hengshan, while his Five Thunder Spirit Body separated from Hengshan and transformed into a beam of lightning. With the supernatural power of "Soaring Ten Thousand Miles," it sped towards the East Sea.

The Heavenly Roc's spirit body is the fastest, but it dares not show itself and remains hidden deep within the "world boundary" of the dream dimension.

Dongsheng Shenzhou is not far from Nanzhanbuzhou, and the stone is located by the sea, facing the "Minnan County" of Shenzhou across the sea.

Moreover, Xiaoyu's "Soaring Ambition" was elevated to the level of "Pro-level Divine Power" after the Huashan Dao Discussion.

Therefore, it only took half an hour for Xiaoyu to cross the East Sea and enter the Eastern Continent.

After searching along the earth's veins for another half hour, they finally found the unremarkable stone used to mend the sky at the foot of a majestic peak.

"Great Immortal, is that you? Your disciple greets you!" Seeing Grand Tutor Yu looking him up and down with an uncertain expression, Shi Tou was the first to greet him, his voice filled with both joy and trepidation.

"This disciple is foolish and clumsy, I have made a fool of myself in front of the great immortal."

Grand Tutor Yu said, "You're quite tall."

The large rock is over thirty meters high, resembling a small mountain. Half of it is buried in the soil, its surface covered with moss, and tiny weeds grow in the cracks between the rocks.

There was nothing particularly unusual about him.

It had no dazzling light, no abundant spiritual energy, and was so ordinary that even Xiaoyu dared not approach it to confirm its existence.

If it had looked exactly like the "nine orifices and eight holes" of the immortal stone in her mind, Grand Tutor Yu wouldn't have spent half an hour searching for it.

"Great Immortal, do you think I am still capable of mending the sky?" Stone asked cautiously.

Xiaoyu said, "I see that you have a lot of intelligence. Why don't you yearn for the prosperity of the human world, become a human, and live a good life in this world?"

Stone lamented, "This disciple dares not deceive the Great Immortal. Although I am a naturally born spirit, I lack spirituality."

"Let alone transforming into human form, if I cannot mend the heavens today, in tens of thousands of years, I fear I will be lost and confused, and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation."

Xiao Yu asked in surprise, "You mean, before you can even take human form, you'll have to exhaust your 'lifespan'?"

Where there is birth, there is death.

Even Wukong has a lifespan, so the "Stone Demon" is definitely not born immortal.

In the Pangu world, all things possess a spirit, and all things can be born with spirituality. However, once spirituality is established, and thoughts and wills develop, one becomes infected with the "poison of time," which will eventually wear down vitality and spirituality over time, commonly known as "death."

Xiaoyu's surprise wasn't because the "stone" could die. Rather, it was because she couldn't understand how, with the potential of the Heaven-Mending Stone, it couldn't transform into a "demon" before its consciousness was annihilated.

Stone sighed, "This is probably not the first time this disciple has been born with spirituality. Great Immortal, could you pull this disciple out of the ground and take a look?"

There are seven holes about the size of a bowl under the disciple's body.

I have a feeling that if I die in this life, I will have an extra hole in my body.

If I'm not mistaken, since the Goddess Nuwa abandoned her worthless disciple here, seven cycles of birth and death have passed.

This is the eighth time the disciple has come!
