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

Chapter 1332 This is how myths and legends originated.
"The First Emperor possessed my godfather's body, and Liu Ji severed his head with a sword, but only his physical body lost its head; his spirit and energy remained intact."

As long as one's vital energy and spirit are intact, one will not die.

Not only will he not die, but he will also receive enormous benefits once I release the ancestral dragon essence within my remaining body.

Wu Yazi used hand seals and incantations to gradually dispel the "Nine Cauldrons Controlling the Dragon" curse.

"Pfft~~" Streams of ancestral dragon essence, filled with resentment and unwillingness, emanated from the giant python's body, swirling around the nearby forest before sinking into the ground.

The area within a hundred feet was dyed a muddy yellow tinged with blood.

It was as if thick miasma had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The cultivators within the miasma could clearly feel their resentment and unwillingness "worsening," threatening to transform into vicious and malevolent demons.

If any spirits or ghosts enter it, they will absorb its power and transform into evil demons and monsters that wreak havoc on the human world.

Or rather, the reason why chaotic times breed monsters is that too many people die with hatred and curses in those times, righteousness is lost, evil sinks into the earth's veins, and gives birth to demons and monsters.

Grand Tutor Yu shouted, "You are unwilling to accept this, so I have given you one last chance."

Now that you've tried your best and still failed, instead of obediently returning to your "graveyard" in the Qinling Mountains, are you going to stay here and become a laughingstock?

"Roar roar roar~~" The turbid yellow dragon energy transformed into small dragons, howling mournfully at her.

Meng Qi was originally just observing the spectacle from the sidelines.

But in this situation, upon hearing the mournful cries, he couldn't help but tear up, his heart filled with immense sorrow.

Dragon energy is the combination of human energy and earth energy. The spirit of dragon energy is the general consciousness of humans.

This ancestral dragon's general consciousness encompasses not only the will of the previous kings of the Ying family.

It also includes the lingering regrets of countless Qin people in Guanzhong who contributed to the rise of the Qin Dynasty, and the general consciousness of the masses who recognized the "Qin Dynasty" after Ying Zheng unified the world.

They are all crying and wailing now.

It was as if millions of people were venting their sorrow and resentment together.

Not to mention Meng Qi couldn't help but be moved, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal who had severed his three corpses would be touched.

"Go, go! You are the First Emperor, you should leave with dignity," Grand Tutor Yu sighed.

The aura of the ancestral dragon slowly sank into the earth, flowing along the earth's veins towards the Qinling Mountains.

As the essence of the ancestral dragon within the white snake's body dissipated, its shape and color gradually changed.

After a short while, it returned to its previous slender black snake form, only without its head.

Wu Yazi picked up the snake's head and placed it on the snake's neck, then used his immortal energy to heal the wound.

"Black King Kong, wake up!"

As she used the method of summoning the spirit to awaken the soul of Black King Kong that had been dormant in his broken body, the small black snake, whose body had been stiff and motionless, began to convulse as if it were having an epileptic seizure.

While it was twisting and twitching, its size was rapidly increasing.

"Oh my god, it hurts so much!" Black King Kong cried out in pain, his eyes rolled back, and he foamed at the mouth.

Wu Yazi shouted, "Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others. The reason you are in pain is because a large amount of dragon's evil energy remains in your body."

Other arowanas can only eat 'Ancestral Dragon's Poop', but you're drinking the essence of the Ancestral Dragon directly.

They don't even need you to drink it; they'll just feed it directly to your mouth and put it into your body.

You only need to circulate your profound energy to absorb and digest it.

Then, using the method of telepathy, she sensed the physical and spiritual condition of Black King Kong and created a method for him to refine the Dragon Evil on the spot.

Create a new version of the "Dragon Transformation Technique" that is perfectly suited to Black King Kong's current situation.

“Meng Zhenjun, you saw it too.” She was multitasking, pointing to the remaining aura of the ancestral dragon in the earth, and said, “The Ying clan’s ancestral dragon is not a person or a will.”

I can persuade most of the dragon energy, but there are still many dragon spirits left in this land, carrying resentment and unwillingness.

If left unchecked, not only will the Qinling Ancestral Dragon lose a great deal of its dragon energy, but many evil creatures will also be born in this area.

"Now that Liu Ji has severed its head, how much dragon energy does the Qinling Ancestral Dragon have left?" Meng Zhenjun sighed.

"Precisely because there is not much dragon energy left, we must be even more careful now," Wu Yazi said.

Meng Zhenjun nodded and said with emotion, "As the former Grand Tutor of the Great Qin Dynasty, I will be a filial son who breaks the basin for the First Emperor!"

Wu Yazi used the mind-to-mind transmission technique on him again, passing on the "Ancestral Dragon Secret Method: The Filial Son's Great Method of Smashing the Basin" to Meng Qi.

Well, the so-called "filial piety method of smashing the basin" is actually a method of unblocking the earth's veins.

The Ying clan dragon spirit lingering in the earth will inevitably affect the normal flow of the Mangdang Mountain's earth veins.

After clearing the earth's veins, Meng Qi also needs to help dispel the resentment and obsession of the ancestral dragon energy remaining in the earth. Only then can they return to the Qinling earth veins.

Meng Qi was left to break the basin as a filial son, while Wu Ya Zi, carrying the Black Diamond, found a nearby mountain stream.

She threw him into the water and used his telepathic abilities to teach him a secret method to digest and absorb the dragon essence remaining in his body.

In just a short while, his blood began to "burn".

"My heart feels like a giant furnace, with magma flowing through all eight meridians. My body feels so uncomfortable. No, it feels so good. It's both uncomfortable and good. It's so strange."

Black King Kong transformed into a monster that resembled both a black fish and a black python, measuring ten zhang in length. It writhed and struggled in the water, constantly using its head and torso to ram against the sharp stone walls around it.

The impact shook the earth, shattered scales, and stained the mountain stream with blood.

After the old scales break, new scales grow back at a visible speed. As the old flesh and skin are torn apart, new, more muscular flesh and skin also grows.

Even the bones break and regenerate with a "crackling" sound.

His appearance became increasingly slender and agile, losing the clumsiness of the black fish and the ugliness of the black python, becoming more in harmony with nature and the Dao.

It's like the Chinese character for "dragon" coming to life on the paper.

"Boom!" Above the mountain stream, dark clouds began to gather, and lightning flashed deep within the clouds.

"Aaaaaah~~" Accompanied by Black King Kong's heart-wrenching roar, whether from pain or pleasure, a bulge under his abdomen burst open, and a claw with a transparent texture emerged from the bloody flesh.

The dragon's claws have five toes; it is about to transform into a five-clawed flying dragon.

"Boom!" A bolt of lightning struck, hitting Black King Kong, which was churning in the water and creating towering waves.

With a single blow, a hole the size of a washbasin was blasted into his back, and blood and bits of flesh flew everywhere.

"It hurts, Mother! What's wrong?" he roared in pain and confusion.

Wu Yazi was now four or five miles away from him, and he dared not use his telepathic communication, fearing he would be implicated.

There was no way around it; she had committed too many killings in recent years, and now she was burdened with karmic debt.

It's like a cotton mill piled high with materials; if a spark (heavenly tribulation) falls, it could easily ignite and explode.

"This is your path to immortality, your tribulation of becoming a dragon. Do not panic, silently circulate your profound energy, and feel the changes within your body."

"Use the ancient dragon magic I taught you to heal your injuries." She shouted directly with her mouth, then used the wind to send her voice through.

"My goodness, is it 'Water Spirit Rebirth,' which uses water elemental power to heal injuries? I've tried learning this technique, but after all these years, I still haven't mastered it—wait a minute!"

"Splash~~" Vast water elemental power gathered from all directions, turning into rain that shimmered with blue spiritual light, falling into the deep ravine and landing on the black dragon.

The wounds on the black dragon's back healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Awoo~~" Black King Kong felt that he had never been so happy in his life. He subconsciously leaped upward and flew directly into the sky, comfortably shuttling through the thunderclouds.

"Roar~~~" He raised his head and roared, the dragon's roar shaking the heavens. "Mother, I've become a dragon! The ancient dragon magic you taught me, I learned it inexplicably, and now I can use it with ease."

Wu Yazi was not surprised at all. This guy not only obtained the dragon essence left in his body by the Ancestral Dragon, but also shared a part of the human fortune.

After all, he was now the "core supporting character" in the story of "Emperor Gaozu slaying the snake".

"Concentrate and don't get carried away. Your dragon transformation tribulation is far from over."

Before he could finish speaking, another bolt of lightning, like a cleaver, struck the top of the black dragon's head.

"Boom—crack~~" Black King Kong, like a kite with a broken string, spun and fell from the sky, crashing hard into the mountain wall, causing scales to fly everywhere, blood and flesh to be mangled, and rocks to crumble.

Wu Yazi's expression changed slightly. He looked up at the clouds of tribulation, his eyes flashing with anger.

She did not swallow her anger; instead, she soared into the sky, crossed the tribulation clouds, and arrived at the highest heavens.

Sure enough, they saw three Thunder Gods laying mines.

There was one Thunderbolt and one Thunderbolt in total.

The three thunder gods each hold a thunder tablet, a thunder chisel, and a wind bag, respectively.

Use a thunder plaque to summon thunder; use a thunder hammer to strike down thunder; use a wind bag to summon wind and gather clouds to increase the power of thunder and lightning.

The three Thors worked together seamlessly and methodically, even pointing and laughing down below.

"Hey, you three, how dare you even try to murder my son!"

Wu Yazi transformed into the form of Grand Tutor Yu, without a crown on his head, using only a jade hairpin to tie his long black hair into a Taoist bun, leaving a few strands of hair flowing in the wind.

His star-patterned robe had transformed into a wide, black, silver-glowing Taoist robe, fluttering in the wind as he flew.

"Oh no! It's Yu Fengxian! Run!"

Thor, holding the wind bag, instinctively tightened the opening, preparing to escape.

"Why are you running away? Grand Tutor Yu didn't have the Nine Cauldrons and Dragon-Riding Technique to storm the Heavenly Court. We're laying mines!" The Thunder God, who was being attacked by Lei Gongzao, looked tense but didn't lose his composure.

"The junior Thunder God Lei Gang (Deputy Thunder Gods Li Hong and Zhao Lei) pays respects to Grand Tutor Yu."

The three Thunder Gods and the Thunder Chariot Warrior all bowed respectfully.

Grand Tutor Yu didn't stand on ceremony with them and said directly, "The black dragon undergoing the Dragon Tribulation below is my son, Black Vajra. You should just focus on laying your traps; why are you deliberately using underhanded tactics to harm him?"

Lei Gang's expression changed slightly, and he quickly explained, "Grand Tutor, please calm down. We were ordered to lay mines, not to harm 'Young Master Hei' on purpose."

Grand Tutor Yu slapped him from a distance of a thousand feet.

The three thunder gods tried to dodge, and indeed transformed into lightning, quickly flying away to escape, but still, with three crisp "crack, crack, crack" sounds, all three thunder gods received a powerful blow.

There's no escaping it; this is an unerring and deadly trap, the Pro version of the Kunpeng's Great Divine Power.

"This Grand Tutor possesses an innate lightning spirit body. Do you think I don't know if you've been up to something? You still dare to play tricks on me."

The three thunder gods were blown hundreds of feet away. They forced themselves to steady themselves and knelt on the celestial cloud, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Grand Master, spare our lives! We dare not do it again."

"Grand Tutor, please calm down. I was unaware of the Black Dragon's identity before."

"Grand Tutor, you are wise. We only know that the Black Dragon is not a Chinese dragon, but a barbarian dragon from a foreign land. It is undergoing tribulation in the land of China and dares to show off its supernatural powers. That's why we played a little joke on it, as is customary."

"Behave yourself and don't cause any trouble!" Grand Tutor Yu left these words before disappearing in a flash.

The three Thors got up, their faces grim and their eyes filled with malice, but they could only lay mines seriously.

With the same power and internal energy, sword energy with sword intent is more lethal than sword energy without sword intent.

The same lightning power from a single lightning pool, if imbued with "divine will," retains the same energy but increases in attack power.

If the person undergoing tribulation is a vicious and wicked demon, then divine power should be used to increase its power. If the person undergoing tribulation has committed relatively few sins, then they should be treated leniently.

The Ministry of Lightning has detailed regulations for how to proceed.

But as the saying goes, no matter how good the rules are, ultimately it is people who have to enforce them.

When Grand Tutor Yu faced the Great Tribulation of Nine-Nine last time, Lei Zhenzi actually held back.

This time, Black King Kong was deliberately targeted.

If you're a lowly demon without connections, you can only rely on the mood and wisdom of the Thunder God of Lei. A wise person wouldn't act recklessly, because every action leaves behind consequences.

If the gods in heaven never make mistakes or are ever demoted, where will the newly ascended gods find employment each year?
Unfortunately, Black King Kong, who used to be a minor demon whom anyone could kill at will, has now risen to prominence and become the "young master" of the Grand Tutor of Qin.

Xiaoyu is watching over her godson as he undergoes his tribulation.

On the other side, Liu Ji, pulling up his trousers, ran wildly to the marshland to the south and found Lu Wan and the others.

"Brother Ji, why do you smell so bad? Did you poop in your pants?"

Even from several steps away, a gust of north wind blew in, carrying Liu Ji's scent, causing Lu Wan and the others to cover their noses.

"He really did poop in his pants."

Liu Ji showed no shame, only lingering fear, and quickly recounted what had just happened.

Although Lu Wan and the others were worried for him, they were not particularly surprised.

“I told you before, things haven’t been peaceful in Mangdang Mountain lately. Even if you’re just taking a dump, you can’t go alone,” Zhou Ke said.

Lu Wan stroked her chin and said, "Since Brother Ji has already killed that snake demon, we can't just leave it in the forest and let the wild animals benefit from it."

After skinning them, we can drag them back to the cave and feast on large chunks of meat until next year!

"It's still fairy flesh, full of spiritual energy."

Liu Ji thought for a moment and said, "We'll split into two teams. Lu Wan, you take forty brothers to deal with the python."

I'll take a bath first, then lead the rest of my men and continue patrolling the mountain.

Lu Wan did not object.

There were only forty or fifty brothers who followed Liu Ji up the mountain initially, but in recent months they have recruited more, adding another twenty or thirty people.

Even after splitting into more than forty brothers, Liu Ji still had more than forty people on his side.

"Hey, there's someone ahead." Lu Wan's ears twitched a few times when they were still a hundred feet away from where Liu Ji was defecating. He looked on alertly and whispered, "Brothers, get your weapons out and listen to my command. Prepare to form the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Small Formation."

Of these forty brothers, eight were among the "108 Heroes of Pei County." They immediately took their positions, assuming the rank of "Tian Kui" (a high-ranking official).

The rest of the people only need to follow these eight people and obey their orders.

As they drew closer, everyone could hear the sound. It was like chanting a spell, or like crying, a plaintive lament, indistinct and unsettling to listen to.

They became even more cautious, gripping their sword hilts tightly, their true energy surging forth, waiting to erupt.

"What are you bandits doing back here?" Meng Qi stopped his shamanistic ritual and shouted into the woods.

"Daoist Master, what are you doing?" Lu Wan poked her head out and asked curiously.

Meng Qi has a rather upright appearance and a very good temperament.

In his normal state, he has an air of otherworldly wisdom and looks like a hermit.

However, he looked a bit strange at the moment. He was wearing a white Taoist robe, holding a magic sword in his left hand and a bell in his right. He was muttering to himself and doing the steps of a shaman.

"The son of the White Emperor was killed, and I am performing a ritual to help the soul of the dead pass away!" Meng Qi said in a mysterious tone, his eyes darting around.
