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

Chapter 1334 We must increase our investment and make Yu Fengxian howl in pain.
"Gentlemen, please be patient, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Hearing the great gods and immortals discussing among themselves, Meng Qi shouted, "You only know that the Ancestral Dragon was beheaded, but do you know why the Ancestral Dragon was beheaded?"

"The slaying of the First Emperor was ordained by Heaven; the Great Qin Dynasty was destined to perish, and the First Emperor was destined to die," said the founder of the Shenxiao School, "Chonghe Daoren."

Fuqiu Gong frowned and said, “It is indeed only right that the First Emperor must die. But is this the first time the First Emperor has been beheaded? Or am I simply ignorant? Has there been any precedent?”

“Many dragon veins have been severed or dug up. But only this time has the ancestral dragon been severed. Because in the history of humankind, there has only ever been one ancestral dragon,” said the Star Lord of the Big Dipper.

Meng Qi chuckled and said, "So you all didn't know either. After the Ying Clan's Ancestral Dragon, a second Ancestral Dragon will be born immediately."

The reason why the Ying clan's ancestral dragon was killed was because the second ancestral dragon was about to be born. The Ying clan's ancestral dragon was stimulated and dragged its corpse out of the Qinling tomb, determined to fight the Central Plains' hidden dragon to the death.

But fate is inescapable; the Qin Dynasty's ancestral emperor had only one fate: to be beheaded.

"What? There will be a second Ancestral Dragon after the Qin Dynasty? The second Ancestral Dragon is already showing signs of life?" The immortals and gods were shocked.

“We really didn’t know about this before. Old Meng, who told you this?” Guo Qiong, who looked like a young boy, asked in surprise.

Meng Qi sighed, "Who else could have said that? It's Yu Fengxian, the number one ancestral dragon master in the Three Realms. She's also the Grand Tutor of the Great Qin Dynasty. No one understands the Ying clan's ancestral dragon better than her."

She immediately sensed the slightest change in the Qinling Ancestral Dragon.

She deliberately gave Liu Ji the 'destiny' to slay the dragon.

Having obtained Xiaoyu's permission beforehand, he did not hide anything and recounted the whole story in detail.

"But Emperor Renhuang is already a first emperor of all time, how could two ancestral dragons be born in such a short period of time?"
Has humanity flourished to this extent? Can the human race's fortune truly withstand such a drain?

"Brother Sun, you've even confused cause and effect. The birth of the Ancestral Dragon doesn't deplete the human race's fortune; rather, it signifies that the human race's fortune is about to rise to a new level."

The appearance of the Ancestral Dragon was merely a symptom; the fundamental reason for its birth was the qualitative change in the destiny of the human race.

"Brother Yang, your words are very wise. However, isn't it a bit of an exaggeration to say that the human race's fortune has experienced two consecutive great leaps?"
I thought it would be at least three to five million years before a second ancestral dragon could be born.

"Humans cannot be compared to the earlier demons or witches. Humans have short lifespans, so they must develop quickly."

"No wonder Liu Ji's performance was so lackluster and his demeanor so weak after slaying the dragon."

"No wonder so many fellow Daoists have chosen this time to take advantage of this great calamity to attain the Great Luo Dao."

The "Eight Immortals of Western Qin," including Nanshan Gong and Wei Shuqing, who assisted Ying Zheng in unifying the world, are a living example. Eight Great Immortals were born in one go!

"With the birth of this second Ancestral Dragon, surely it can support at least eight more Great Luo Golden Immortals?"

“There are definitely more than eight. Last time, Duke Nanshan and the others were only supporting the Dragon Court. Ying Zheng was too powerful, and they were unable to guide the great calamity, so they failed to obtain the greatest share of human destiny.”

"The Human Emperor unified the world only a few hundred years ago. Could it be that at least sixteen Great Luo Golden Immortals have been born in just a few hundred years?!"

"Ah, that's not surprising. This is a golden age for humanity. And a golden age for humanity is also a golden age for our immortal path!"

As the immortals and gods grew increasingly bewildered and uncertain, they also suddenly realized something.

After a moment of realization, some of the great immortals and all the great gods looked at Fuqiu Gong and the other quasi-Daluo with a strange gaze.

"Since you all knew about the Second Ancestral Dragon all along, why did you pretend to be ignorant before?"

Po Jun Xing Jun has a bad temper, so he immediately put on a stern face and loudly questioned him.

Fuqiu Gong shook his head and said, "I don't know about the Second Ancestral Dragon. Have you forgotten that I chose to attain the Great Luo Dao during this great calamity? When Ying Zheng unified the world, I also went down the mountain to Xianyang and assisted him for a period of time."

But he makes decisions unilaterally and doesn't listen to me.

There was also King Wu of Wei earlier. I originally thought that he and his father, King Wen of Wei, were like King Wen and King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty.

As a result, Ji Ji proved to be an incorrigible person, and I was implicated by him, accumulating a heavy burden of karma. It took me thousands of years of accumulating merit to clear my name of this karmic debt.

This was Fuqiu Gong's first attempt to guide a great calamity and earn human fortune in order to attain the Great Luo.

But this wasn't his first attempt to break through to the Great Luo Realm.

He was already stuck at the threshold, needing a stroke of luck to complete the final breakthrough.

He had tried several times before to accumulate human fortune by supporting the Dragon Court, but he was unlucky and lost more than he gained.

For example, when Xiaoyu first entered the Imperial Observatory of Qin, he chose "Qianhe Temple" as his office.

Qianhe Temple was built by Fuqiu Gong.

He joined Ying Zheng too late, observed for too long, and acted too late.

Later, the Four Friends of Qionglin helped Meng Zhenjun guard the Qin Dynasty for ten years, which was also a way of repaying their last debt of gratitude.

Earlier, after the division of Jin into three states, Fuqiu Gong, convinced that King Wen of Wei was indeed a potential hegemon, went to seek refuge with him. However, King Wen died, and King Wu, Ji Ji, succeeded him.

At the time, Fuqiu Gong was quite pleased because the King Wen and King Wu of Wei were very similar to the King Wen and King Wu of Zhou. At least when Ji Ji was young, both father and son were "unparalleled hegemons" with great talent and ambition.

Just when it seemed that the Great Wei Kingdom was about to dominate the world, Ji Ji suddenly revealed his true colors, drove away the "strongest military strategist" Wu Qi, forced the famous minister Ximen Bao (now King Qin Guang) to his death, and launched attacks everywhere, causing endless bloodshed.

Fuqiu Gong got involved in a lot of bad karma by following him, and suffered a terrible loss.

The Old Man of Nine Peaks also said, "I chose to prove my Dao during this great calamity because I consulted the Dao Ancestor beforehand."

The Dao Ancestor surely knows everything, but I have no idea that a second Ancestral Dragon will be born.

You must understand that the 'holy lord' I have chosen is none other than Xiang Liang, the son of Xiang Yan.

"If I had known that the First Emperor could be slain here, I would have insisted on persuading Xiang Liang to lead his family and troops into Dang County. I would never have allowed that brat Liu Ji to gain such a great advantage."

Everyone thought he was talking nonsense.

Without Yu Fengxian's cooperation in "automatically going to her death," what good would it do to summon the Xiang family?

Having learned the reasons for the Ancestral Dragon's transformation, some of the "unimportant" deities simply dispersed.

The Golden Immortals and Quasi-Great Luo Immortals who decided to support the Dragon Court and guide the Great Calamity then collectively went to Old Liu's house in Zhongyang Village, Pei County.

A group of fortune tellers looked around Liu Ji's mother's grave, calculating and interpreting it repeatedly.

They even crawled into the tomb, touched Liu Ao's remains, and tried to sense the Liu family's dragon vein up close.

"It's a very, very small section of the dragon vein. No wonder Yu Fengxian called it a 'dragon seed,' which is quite fitting." Meng Qi was somewhat disappointed.

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "Although it is small, it has great potential and obvious signs of growth. It is not impossible for it to grow into a great dragon in the future."

The old man at the Nine Peaks sighed, "Even after slaying the Ancestral Dragon, this is only the beginning of its growth."

If Xiang Liang were to slay the First Emperor, wouldn't the Xiang family's dragon vein roar across the heavens and shake the eight wastelands?

Meng Qi scoffed, "The Xiang family thinks they're hiding their true intentions, but Yu Fengxian knows everything. How could they possibly let Xiang Liang kill the First Emperor?"

The old man from the Nine Peaks was unconvinced and said, "Why is the ancestral dragon of the Ying clan out of control and insists on leaving the Qinling Mountains?"

It was originally going to find the owner of the Southeast Emperor's Qi.

As a result, Yu Fengxian used the Nine Cauldrons Dragon Control Technique to forcefully change its direction and randomly selected a hidden dragon.

If it weren't for her interference, if we had known earlier that a second ancestral dragon would be born in the Central Plains, we would definitely not have had the opportunity to interfere.

When the time comes, the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty will come to Xiang Liang himself. Xiang Liang will obey Heaven's will, slay the dragon, and start a rebellion—great fortune will follow!

"Why not the Tian family slaying the dragon?" Lu Dingxian said, "The Tian family has just restored their kingdom, and then the Ancestral Dragon's coup occurred. How could that be a coincidence? It is obvious that the Tian family is the true Son of Heaven."

"Hahaha, the Tian family is the emperor?" Everyone laughed.

Meng Qi also laughed, "Brother, don't joke around. Everyone knows that the 'Emperor's Aura' is in the southeast of Shenzhou."

Even the State of Wei can get a connection, but forget about the State of Qi. Qi is in the east!

Lu Dingxian said, "The aura of an emperor in the southeast is merely a prophecy, not a decree issued by the Dao Ancestor. The common people believe prophecies, but who are we?"

If they try to act like ordinary mortals, how can they guide the great calamity?

Fuqiu Gong nodded slightly and said, "We are merely guiding the great calamity, not supporting the Dragon Court."

Who becomes emperor is none of our concern; we simply obey the will of Heaven.

All aspiring Ronaldo players would agree with this.

It can help the "true emperor" fulfill his destiny, and the amount of human fortune it earns will definitely be the greatest.

Who wouldn't want to earn the most humanitarian good fortune?
“Huh, although Liu Ji’s dragon vein is surging, there is also a hole that is leaking air.”

At this moment, Li Futu, who had been silent and low-key, suddenly exclaimed.

Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat: Oh no, Jing Ju's secret of stealing the Liu family's dragon energy is about to be exposed.

Sure enough, following Li Futu's reminder, the other quasi-Daluo also discovered that while the dragon energy in Liu Ao's tomb was rapidly gathering, there was also a faint wisp of dragon energy dissipating outwards along the earth's veins.

That ley line is very well hidden.

Even Meng Qi spent several months searching all the way from Mangdang to the ancestral tomb of Liu Ji.

Unfortunately, everyone present was a "true immortal" about to attain the Great Luo realm. Their cultivation was far beyond what Meng Qi, a mere "minor immortal," could compare to.

Li Futu, in particular, who cultivated the "True Form Diagram of the Five Sacred Mountains," was extremely sensitive to fluctuations in the power of the Earthly Fiends.

In just two hours, Li Futu had completed Meng Qi's work of more than two months: tracing back from Liu Ao's grave to the main peak of Mangdang.

"Fellow Daoist, stop searching. If you continue, the secrets of heaven will be revealed."

Helpless, Meng Qi could only secretly send a telepathic message to Li Futu when the others weren't paying attention.

Li Futu understood immediately, so he secretly withdrew his supernatural powers and followed behind the others, slacking off.

Yang Bo Sanren and Lu Dingxian were not stupid; they immediately became suspicious.

However, they didn't say anything aloud and simply made excuses to leave. After all, they were allies only on the issue of opposing Qin; at other times, they were competitors.

After everyone else left, the three friends of Qionglin (excluding Dong Ye) and Meng Qi gathered together and spoke frankly.

"Actually, I didn't hide anything from you. Before I joined Jingju, I asked for your opinions and asked Fellow Daoist Fuqiu to help survey the Jing family's dragon vein, didn't I? I was mainly afraid that they would find out."

"So it was Jingju." Li Futu's eyes shone with spiritual light, as if he could see through the mountain peaks and directly see the earth's veins, and see Liu Ji's dragon energy being absorbed by Jingju's dragon vein along an earth vein.

Fuqiu Gong also showed a look of realization, "The Jing family's dragon vein is indeed extraordinary, like a vortex, constantly absorbing the power of the surrounding earth veins."

However, Liu Ji's dragon aura spans hundreds of miles, and if he were to actively offer himself up, Liu Ji would surely pledge allegiance to Jing Ju in the future.

“If Liu Ji is indeed a minister of Jing Ju, then the identity of the master of the Southeast Emperor’s Qi can be confirmed,” Guo Qiong said with a smile.

After hesitating for a long time, Meng Qi finally spoke his mind, "I have been under the Jing family's protection for about half a year and I know Jing Ju quite well."

Although he has lofty ambitions and can be considered a dragon among men, he lacks a domineering aura of self-importance.

Placing him next to Ying Zheng is like placing a clod of earth next to a beautiful jade.

The master of the Second Ancestral Dragon must at least be no less capable than Qin Shi Huang, right?
The key point is that Liu Ji's slaying of the dragon had a significant human element involved.

To put it bluntly, if Yu Fengxian wants someone to slay a dragon, as long as that person is a hidden dragon and possesses a different kind of dragon energy, they can probably succeed in slaying the dragon.

Therefore, it's not that whoever Liu Ji sided with became the true emperor.

Li Futu shook his head and said, "When Jingju was born, Ying Zheng was in his prime. How could he possibly be domineering?"
As the saying goes, a virtuous person should be among the wise men, and a sage should be able to transform like a dragon or a snake.

At the height of his power, Qin Shi Huang transformed into a snake, lying in wait. When the time was right, he soared into the heavens, transforming from a dragon into a powerful beast!

That made sense, and Meng Qi hesitated again.

Fuqiu Gongdao said, "In any case, Jingju is now the most like a hidden dragon who is destined to be the emperor."

We should increase our attention and investment in him in the future.

"Once Jingju, possessing a destiny bestowed upon him, becomes extraordinary, Yu Fengxian will suffer greatly."

To be honest, he wasn't too keen on getting too involved with Qianlong.

Because he was not a "cultivator of karmic sins" in the Fulong Court, but a guide to the great calamity and a guardian of destiny.

Serving a potential dragon, even if it is the true Son of Heaven, would tarnish the prestige of a Great Immortal.

Unfortunately, with the sudden emergence of Grand Tutor Yu, they encountered setbacks and struggled for several years, gaining little in terms of human fortune and instead incurring significant losses.

To break even and make a fortune, we need to work even harder and be even less concerned about saving face.

It wasn't until the next morning that Wu Yazi saw Meng Laodao again.

Upon meeting, he said with a solemn expression, "I have bad news for you. The great immortals have already learned of the true dragon emperor's identity and are planning to increase their investment to help him grow."

"Your and Qin's difficult days are about to begin."

Wu Yazi became genuinely nervous. "Who knows? Who are they going to increase their investment in?"

Meng Qi said in a deep voice: "Currently, only the Four Friends of Qionglin have identified their exact targets. Other Golden Immortals who are preparing to attain the Great Luo realm, Great Immortals who are preparing to support the Dragon Court, and even some Great Gods who are concerned about the evolution of destiny have all become suspicious."

They stared at Liu Ji and calculated for a long time, and then went together to Liu Ji's ancestral graves.

Wu Yazi was increasingly surprised and worried about Liu Ji.

Meng Qi continued, "This is also your retribution. You humiliated Li Futu before, and this time it was he who discovered the secret of the Liu family's ancestral tomb."

If I hadn't secretly stopped him, he would have led a group of powerful immortals directly to Jingju's dragon vein, following the direction in which Liu Jilong's energy was flowing away.

—That gave me quite a fright. I thought you guys had finally figured out the secret, but it turns out you still made a huge mess.

Wu Yazi muttered to himself, but remained expressionless, and asked, "How do they plan to increase their investment? Will they directly intervene to support the Dragon Court? If that's the case, I'm really worried."

—If I were to place all my bets on Jingju, wouldn't that make me laugh to death?

"I don't know the specifics of how to do it. Even if I did, I couldn't tell you. I can only warn you to be careful."

"The strongest attack against Qin, against you, is about to arrive," Meng Qi said, shaking his head.

Wu Yazi sighed, "This day will come sooner or later. Whether Jingju is the true Son of Heaven or not, the master of the aura of the Southeast Emperor cannot remain hidden forever."

I was aware of this long ago, and I was prepared for it.

Meng Qi hesitated, then finally sighed, "You'd better take care of yourself!"

The next few days were relatively peaceful in Mangdang Mountain.

Even if some powerful figures are hiding in the shadows, studying the direction in which the Liu family's dragon energy disappeared, it won't affect anyone else.

Four days before the New Year, "Boom!"

The earth did not move, but the sky trembled a few times.

Ordinary people probably wouldn't feel it, but immortals who have mastered Qi cultivation can clearly sense the intense fluctuations in spacetime.

Meng Qi's spirits lifted, and he said, "White Cloud Mountain has appeared in the world."
