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

Chapter 1315 Gou Fugui, He'll Be Beheaded

When Grand Tutor Yu first said that he was going to be in big trouble, Li Futu was genuinely dismissive.

He is a quasi-Great Luo Immortal who takes the "True Form Diagram of the Five Sacred Mountains" as his fundamental method!
His understanding of the power of the Five Sacred Mountains, the power of the Earth, the Great Way of the Five Sacred Mountains, and the Way of the Earth has reached the level of the laws of the Great Way.

He even possesses his own unique "mountain way".

Although he was unable to incubate Hengshan, this only proves that Yu Fengxian's "Huifeng Mixed Mountain and Water Refining Spirit" is indeed unique.

"The Mixture of Winds" is a miraculous skill, and miraculous skills have miraculous effects, but it cannot prove that her Five Sacred Mountains Way surpasses his.

But when Grand Tutor Yu explained why he was going to have a terrible time, Li Futu immediately had a sudden inspiration and his mouth went dry: What she said is true, I am going to lose a portion of my "Heavenly Favor".

The loss of a portion of his "divine favor" will not affect his current situation, but it will greatly impact his future. He needs "divine favor" most to attain the Great Luo realm through the power of humanity!

"Even if Song Liu is defeated, Chen Sheng will not be defeated. As long as Chen Sheng lives, Zhang Chu will not fall into chaos."

He felt frustrated and anxious, but his expression only became more serious.

Qiu Shan Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Senior, do you know how many dragon veins and dragon seeds there are in Dang County?"
How many of Chen Sheng's generals possessed the "royal mandate" and the "dragon vein"?

The reason Song Liu's army was showing signs of losing morale was because he would soon receive a message from Chen County.

She suddenly remembered a memory from her past life related to Chen Sheng, the sequel to "If we become rich and powerful, let us not forget each other".

"Perhaps there are two pieces of news. One of them concerns the death of 'Hidden Dragon'."

Li Futu's expression changed slightly, and he said, "You mean Ge Ying from Fuli County?"

He's merely a minor general, how could he be a hidden dragon? He himself has no ambition to become king.

Qiu Shan Xiaoyu said, "Senior, please don't be so aloof."

Since we've come to the mortal realm to support the Dragon Court, we must adopt the perspective of a 'mortal'.

For a senior like him who is a near-great Luo, anyone who is not a near-great Luo or the master of the Southeast Emperor's Qi seems to be an insignificant 'minor general'.

But I found dozens of dragon veins in Sishui County.

She pinched her fingertips, "In the entire Zhang Chu territory, there are more than a hundred dragon seeds of this size! Ge Ying led a detachment of tens of thousands of troops eastward, and for every city he conquered, thousands of local wandering knights rushed to join him."

By the time he entered Jiujiang County, he already had 150,000 men under his command.

Even if they are all a motley crew, if he calls himself the King of Jiujiang, who would dare say he is not qualified?

Indeed, three elders and wealthy gentry members earnestly requested him to become king.

Just like when Chen Sheng entered Chen County, the local elders and gentry recommended him as the King of Chu.

Ge Ying was loyal to Chen Sheng and had no ambition to become king; he simply refused.

But he was a simpleton and actually believed Chen Sheng's nonsense about restoring the Great Chu.

They even found Xiang Qiang, a descendant of the old Chu royal family, in Dongcheng County, and supported him to become the King of Chu.

They even formally offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth, and reported to the heavens.

Isn't this awkward?

Li Futu's expression was unpredictable, shifting between light and dark.

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "Unfortunately, even Xiangqiang has a dragon vein!"

Fortunately, when Ge Ying learned that Chen Sheng had declared himself king and that Xiang Qiang had been killed, the predecessor had not yet caused trouble within the territory of 'Zhang Chu Kingdom'.

According to my reconstructed geomantic pattern, the essence of the Xiangqiang dragon vein has been completely released into the Jiujiang geomantic vein, nourishing the land anew.

This is a small piece of good news for me and for the Ying family.

The First Emperor of the Ying Clan fulfilled his duty as a stepmother in protecting the land of China, and thus performed some meritorious deeds.

It's a small act of merit for the world, but it's still better than what our predecessors did, constantly depleting their merit and luck.

Li Futu's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he turned to the northeast in shock and anger.

Xiao Yu paused for a moment, then looked towards Chen County in the northeast, muttering, "Ge Ying was beheaded by Chen Sheng, and his dragon vein has been depleted."

Li Futu leaped into the air and transformed into a beam of light, flying towards Chen County.

Xiao Yu hesitated for a moment, then led the mechanical dog and Wang E, dressed as the grandson of "Old Yuanjun," across hundreds of miles in a flash, arriving outside Chen County.

East of the city, by the Honggou River, a streak of blood-red light shot straight into the sky. A "hairy star" (from the perspective of Grand Tutor Yu's court, or from Chen Sheng's perspective, a "general star" assisting the emperor) flickered in the starry sky and then completely disappeared.

Xiaoyu then turned towards the "Imperial Palace" in the city, intending to directly observe Chen Sheng's "dynastic fortune".

A dazzling golden light blinded her, stinging her eyes and bringing tears to her eyes.

"Roar~~~" In her daze, she saw a three-clawed red dragon rush out of the golden light and roar angrily at her.

Anger mingled with pain, and within that pain lingered a sense of intimacy and pleading.

"This is Chen Sheng's dragon aura. It has such strong spirituality that it recognized me."

Grand Tutor Yu closed his eyes, feeling both surprised and inexplicably sad.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~"

As the dragon's energy was activated, several beams of immortal light shot into the sky from within the Chu King's Palace in Chen County, heading straight towards her.

Another immortal roared angrily, "Where did this ignorant little thief come from, daring to spy on my Great Chu—uh, you, you, Mother, please forgive me, this little immortal did not recognize you."

Please don't be angry, I'll leave now so as not to disturb your enjoyment."

Upon getting closer, they immediately recognized the person: "Old Granny Qiushan," who had once severely suppressed dozens of them in the City God's Domain of Fuli County.

"Oh, you bunch of fools, how could you let Chen Sheng behead his own 'divinely appointed minister'?"

His dragon vein was just crying to me! Tears streaming down his face, his life was nearing its end, how pitiful.”

Qiu Shan Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "Chen Sheng is finished. Ge Ying is dead, so Chen Sheng is doomed."

"You lot, dressed in Taoist robes, could you perhaps be the Grand Preceptors of the Great Chu?"

Qiu Shan Xiaoyu waved her hand dismissively, as if she were shooing away flies.

"He can't even recognize the ministers who are assisting him in his mission, yet he dares to invade the Dragon Court. He's courting death!"
Go back quickly and prepare your magical artifacts and coffin; be prepared for both possibilities. If you can't survive the tribulation lightning, just lie flat on your back.

After saying that, she vanished in a flash, disappearing into the horizon, leaving several immortals looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Old Mother Qiushan is the 'incarnation' of Yu Fengxian. She's definitely talking nonsense and trying to scare us. Don't pay any attention to her," Gu Zhenjun said, forcing himself to remain calm.

Cangsongzi of the Zhengyi sect of Qiyun Mountain said nervously, "But I have some unease in my heart. When the King of Chu wanted to kill Ge Ying, I felt it was inappropriate."

Ge Ying was a truly loyal and valiant general!
He already commanded 100,000 troops in Jiujiang. When the King of Chu summoned him, he led 50,000 cavalry and traveled thousands of miles back.

When the King of Chu wanted to conscript his 50,000 iron cavalry, he immediately presented the tiger tally without hesitation.

As a result, after the 50,000 cavalry followed Wu Chen away from Chen County, the King of Chu immediately killed Ge Ying.

At this time, the great cause is not yet accomplished, yet loyal ministers are killed. Which other official would not be afraid and wary?

"Yes, Ge Ying is from Fuli County and is an 'old man' from Daze Township. He has followed Chen Sheng for more than ten years."

Because of his straightforward nature, he misunderstood Chen Sheng's intentions and installed another King of Chu, which has incurred Your Majesty's deep resentment. Can our feelings for Your Majesty be deeper than those for Ge Ying?

"Not to mention the generals who led troops on distant expeditions, just look at ourselves—aren't we disheartened?"

After quickly shaking off "National Preceptor Zhang Chu", Qiu Shan Xiaoyu slowed down and drifted leisurely towards Shangcai County.

"Grand Tutor, please wait!" A moment later, a voice called out from behind.

Xiao Yu smiled smugly, then quickly suppressed her smile, turned around, and looked at the newcomer with feigned confusion, asking, "Senior Li, did you call me?"

Li Futu forced a stiff smile and said, "Grand Tutor is right. There is a sequence to learning, and those who are accomplished come first."

I may have made some contributions regarding the Way of the Five Sacred Mountains and the Way of the Mountains and Rivers.

However, in the path of the Ancestral Dragon, the Grand Tutor's talent is astonishing and I admire him.

I am not as good as the Grand Tutor.

At first, he had a fake smile, but by the end, his face showed genuine helplessness and bitterness, as well as shame and regret hidden deep within his expression.

Xiaoyu deliberately chatted with him for a long time, with her own purpose, not just to humiliate or mock him.

She stated directly, "My techniques for clearing and reconstructing the earth's veins and water veins belong to the newly created 'Ancestral Dragon Secret Method'."

You still have a chance to prevent me from obtaining land rights.

To be honest, there are very few people in the Three Realms who are qualified to compete with me for land rights.

I have the First Emperor of Dragons, you don't.

The ownership of the land belongs to me, which is essentially the land veins submitting to the ancestral dragon.

I, in my position of human legitimacy, demand privileges from the earth. Just as the human emperor demands that the people of the land obey his commands, and that the people of each state and prefecture submit to him.

"You don't have the First Emperor of Chu, and your predecessors didn't even want to be too deeply involved with Chen Sheng, nor did they obtain the 'power of Zhang Chu's National Preceptor' through sacrifices to Heaven and Earth."

Li Futu said, "Although I am not the national teacher of Zhang Chu, I have received authorization from 'King Chen Sheng'."

Otherwise, how could I have cleared and reconstructed the earth's veins and water veins of Zhang Chu Kingdom, making it difficult for you to enter?

I just want to stop you; I don't need land rights.

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "If you intend to fight me, how can you be unwilling to get your feet dirty on the battlefield?"

My reconstruction of the earth's veins can help the Ying clan gain fortune.

Why? Because my stepmother, the Celestial Master, possesses secret techniques that can truly make the land of China rich and healthy.

The land of China, after my reconstruction, will only become more and more fertile.

The more abundant the earth's ley lines, the greater the benefits, which I'm sure you understand, so I won't elaborate.

You have dredged the earth's veins and water veins, but this only makes them flow smoothly for a short time. What substantial benefit does it bring to the land of China?
Your motives are not pure; you are only trying to ruin my plans.

But I'm doing good for the land of China. To ruin my good deeds is to ruin the good deeds of the land of China.

To ruin good things for China is to ruin great things for humanity; how can one not be tainted by cause and effect and karma?
Take the death of Ge Ying as an example.

When Chen Sheng beheaded him, the dragon vein in his hometown of Fuli immediately lost its vital energy.

I reckon that the Taoist practitioners near Fuli County all sensed it and could directly see that the Ge family's old residence was shrouded in an ominous, turbid aura.

How could the predecessors discover Ge Ying's dragon vein if they did not have control over the land?
Without discovering his dragon veins, how can we integrate them into the 'new earth vein system,' get this system running, and digest and absorb the dead dragon veins?

Li Futu said bitterly, "You've raised the bar for 'earth vein reconstruction'."

In the past, when the dragon veins died and their essence was depleted, it was considered the "way of nature".

As long as the earth's veins are unblocked, regardless of whether the dragon veins live or die, one can earn divine merit or good karma.

If it doesn't meet your standards now, doing it is wrong, and the more you do, the worse the mistakes will be.

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "With your senior's insight, you should have understood this principle long ago."

To replace me, you must do better than me; to replace the Qin Dynasty, you must do a better job than the Qin Dynasty.

Constantly thinking about scheming and taking shortcuts is going astray!
However, it's always better to mend the fence after the sheep are lost than to patch a leak in the middle of the river later.

She took out a piece of spirit jade and tossed it to Li Futu, saying, "This is the master map of the 'south of Shandong' geomantic system that I have planned."

Senior, please quickly restore the 'damaged' ley lines to their original state.

Li Futu really wanted to crush the spirit jade in one go.

He looked aggrieved and ashamed, and said, "Am I supposed to just listen to you, do all the work for you, and be grateful and happy to do it?"

Xiaoyu sighed, "Why is your vision so narrow, senior? You are always focused on how much others have benefited, while ignoring your own gains and losses."

That's right. If you follow my method, you are helping me reconstruct the earth's veins and complete my 'Tao'. I will definitely reap great benefits.

But you're not at a loss yourself.

Following the methods of their predecessors, once the Central Plains descend into chaos, the hidden dragons will one by one end their destiny and their lives, and their dragon veins will perish violently.

The merits and virtues of our predecessors will surely be devoured bit by bit, like a large pancake in a child's hand.

Ultimately, let alone using this great calamity to gain human fortune and attain enlightenment.

The senior might be like the unfortunate Yin Yinzi, losing his cultivation and future.

Xiao Yu smiled strangely, "Yin Yinzi cultivates the Great Dao of Shadows, which I am not very good at."

But the way of the Five Sacred Mountains, as taught by my senior, is also my specialty!

If one day my senior really suffers a great misfortune and repeats the mistakes of Yin Yinzi, or like the Three Immortal Maidens of the Investiture of the Gods, with a perfectly good path and a perfect Dao fruit about to ripen and be forever transcended, but then dies and his Dao disappears, letting others pluck the peach for nothing, I can also fight for that 'fruit'.

"I myself went astray and cannot attain the Great Luo realm, but I can take on a disciple so that he can stand on the shoulders of his predecessors and attain the Great Luo realm."

Li Futu flew into a rage, “You’re dreaming! My Dao Fruit belongs only to me, and no one can take it away from me.”

Anyone who harbors thoughts of robbery is my mortal enemy.

Xiaoyu wasn't just daydreaming. Not only was her expertise in Li Futu's Five Sacred Mountains Dao perfectly aligned with her own, but she was also deducing "Li Futu's Powerful Killing Method," trying to crack his unique Dao!

If Li Futu commits too many sins and truly becomes the Hidden Yinzi or the Three Immortal Maidens, his Dao Fruit will become "ownerless." Grand Tutor Yu will definitely be the most powerful contender.

She could even try to usurp his path. Even without becoming a Great Luo Immortal, one can still occupy the toilet even without defecating!

"The choice is in your hands, senior. You can be stubborn to the death for the sake of saving face. Anyway, if it's a win-win situation, I'll win more; if it's a lose-lose situation, senior will lose the most, and I'll still have a chance to profit from it all," Xiaoyu said cheerfully.

Li Futu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and only opened them again after a long while.

At this moment, his eyes were cold and clear.

"what do you want?"

Xiao Yu said, "Senior, just refer to the earth vein map in the spirit jade and restore the earth veins that were modified before to their original state."

“Not enough,” Li Futu said.
