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

Chapter 1433 Fully Revealed
"No, I don't believe it, this isn't real!" Yan Wushuang screamed in disbelief, struggling desperately.

Two old eunuchs immediately stepped forward and pinned him down.

Ying Tong laughed heartily, "Don't rush, don't rush, this cause and effect story isn't over yet."

The process of the mirror reflecting cause and effect is indeed not over yet.

Everyone saw the image in the mirror changing.

Of course, they could only see the image changing, but they couldn't see the content at all.

Because the quasi-Great Luo Immortals in the heavens are also collectively exerting their power, using the power of the Great Dao to protect the cause and effect and destiny of the Deer Cauldron Old Ghost, preventing the Mirror of Karma from peeking into the truth.

They could suppress the fate of the Deer Cauldron Old Ghost, but they could not erase the karma between Ying Tong and Yan Wushuang.

The "causal data" that the Mirror of Karma read from the Old Ghost of the Deer Cauldron was incomplete. Grand Tutor Yu used his great supernatural powers to allow the Mirror of Karma to read the relevant "causal data" from both Ying Tong and Yan Wushuang at the same time.

The two sets of data complemented each other, and thus the complete inner thoughts of the old ghost of the Deer Cauldron were heard.

"Alas, I know we shouldn't have done this, but the fate of the world has changed. With just a few simple moves, Yu Fengxian has actually stabilized the destiny of the Great Qin."

Chen Sheng, who should have been the first to launch the uprising, was so frightened by the "dragon's conquest of the heavens" that he cowered in Dazexiang and dared not move.

But if he doesn't move, the great calamity of heaven and earth cannot proceed to the next stage!

This is Lu Ding Lao Gui talking to someone.

The image was very blurry, and the other person's voice could not be heard at all.

After a pause, the old ghost of the deer cauldron continued, "Chen Sheng can continue to send people to search for the 'Phoenix Cry Black Mountain Cauldron' near Wuguan, but the uprising must be launched immediately."

If the Central Plains are not thrown into chaos now, even if Yu Fengxian spends every day reconstructing the earth's veins, Li Si and Feng Quji's abilities alone can quickly implement the ten-year benevolent rule throughout the country.

"When the people of China can recuperate and rebuild their lives, their hearts will gradually turn to them, the world will gradually become peaceful, and perhaps even enter a golden age, how will the divine mandate to overthrow Qin be fulfilled?"

What the person on the other side said could not be seen in the mirror. Nor could the terrified people inside and outside the palace hear it.

After a few minutes of respite, they recovered and the horror on their faces disappeared.

Some were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to shout excitedly, while others had inscrutable expressions.

“I know Chen Sheng is not a fool. He is afraid that if he becomes the first to speak out, he will be immediately destroyed by the 100,000 mighty soldiers of Qin. But the destiny of the ‘first uprising’ rests on his shoulders.”

Anyone else would have died a violent death during the uprising. Only Chen Sheng could bring chaos to the Qin Dynasty!

Since he's hesitant, let's increase his sense of urgency and let him know that the mandate of the 'first uprising' might be taken away from him. Don't worry, I know my limits; I'm just putting some pressure on Chen Sheng, not actually stealing his credit for the 'first uprising.'"

"I have some connection with Zang Tu; he is a very useful pawn. His use at this moment is just right."

In this life, Zang Tu was calm, decisive, and cautious. He had long foreseen the impending chaos in the world, but took no action. Instead, he cultivated relationships with heroes of the martial world and secretly amassed weapons and horses.

When the turmoil reaches Yan, the Central Plains will surely be in complete chaos.

The once mighty Qin Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, but he seized the opportunity to rise again.

This young man has the makings of a ruthless leader; he should be able to achieve great things.

"Heh heh, I understand. This kind of ruthless hero won't be manipulated, much less willing to be the first to stick his neck out. But in his previous life, he was Prince Dan of Yan!"
Yan Dan has personality flaws; he is too extreme and doesn't understand what the 'way of the king' means.

With just one Tonghui Pill, I don't need to do anything, give any orders, or get involved.

Once Zang Tu transforms into Yan Dan, his pent-up desires will sprout, and he will only want to take shortcuts through 'assassination'.

Given his magnanimity and personality, even if he were to assassinate King Ying Tong of Bohai, he would not succeed.

Even if Ying Tong dies, his son will continue to be king. Yu Fengxian and the Xingyang court will not allow the Bohai Kingdom to collapse.

Yan Dan couldn't steal Chen Sheng's credit for the "first uprising"; he didn't have that ability, you know?

But we know what kind of person he is, while Chen Sheng doesn't!

Once news of the assassination of the King of Bohai spreads, and once 'Yan Wushuang' becomes famous in Yan and the foremost hero of the anti-Qin rebellion, Chen Sheng will surely be anxious.

That concludes the "heartfelt words." However, the observation of cause and effect through the Mirror of Karma is not yet over.

The sound stopped, and a clear image began to appear on the mirror.

The scene did not include the old ghost of the Deer Cauldron, nor the soon-to-be Great Luo who had a secret conversation with him.

The camera was focused on Yan Wushuang and Ying Tong.

For example, Yan Wushuang "accidentally" met the Vajra Taoist and obtained an Eight-Turn Wisdom Pill.

Before taking the Tonghui Pill, Yan Wushuang was Zang Tu; after taking the Tonghui Pill, Zang Tu became Yan Dan.

The changes in his expression, especially his eyes, were very obvious.

"This...this is almost no different from a soul possessing another's body! The Tonghui Pill is too evil."

Those knowledgeable and extraordinary individuals were fine with it; they only secretly praised the miraculous power of the Tonghui Pill.

But most people are ordinary folks, and they felt their scalps tingle and their hearts tremble as they watched.

In particular, he imagined himself taking the Tonghui Pill, disappearing from his body, and being perfectly taken over by another person.

While filled with fear, they also understood what the old ghost of the Deer Cauldron had said earlier: before taking the Tonghui Pill, Zang Tu could endure and accomplish things, but after taking the Tonghui Pill, "Zang Tu" could not endure anything at all.

Because he has completely transformed into Yan Dan!

"No, this is an illusion, it's fake!" Yan Wushuang went mad, his eyes glazed over, his expression twisted, as he roared at the head of the Deer Cauldron Old Ghost, "Old Ghost, tell them this is fake!"

"This can't be real!" Old Ghost Lu Ding was nearly driven mad. "Old Demon Yu used demonic thoughts and illusions to deceive people. I didn't—"

He paused halfway through his sentence, then quickly regained his composure.

He is not fighting alone.

Even if he forgets his oath to Heaven, Fuqiu Gong and the others will forcibly awaken him from his madness and indignation.

"Yu Fengxian, you bastard, how dare you play me!"

He roared angrily at Grand Tutor Yu to vent his resentment and humiliation.

Unable to argue with him, Ying Tong asked Grand Tutor Yu to use his supernatural powers to subdue his "wisdom".

This indicates that Grand Tutor Yu had anticipated this situation and made preparations in advance, well before the public trial.

Since she can directly summon the celestial light of the Mirror of Sin, why didn't she use it on him immediately after he was pulled over?

She was deliberately humiliating him, making him look like a clown, eloquently speaking in front of a crowd of ordinary people, and even feeling smug about it, thinking he was very wise.

"Old Demon Yu, you are so ruthless!" At this moment, Old Ghost Lu Ding hated Grand Tutor Yu to the extreme.

If Heaven gave him a chance to take Grand Tutor Yu down with him, he wouldn't hesitate for a second.

As for his obsession with the Great Luo Path, he had forgotten it all at this moment.

"Old Monster Lu Ding, you are the real demon! You are so ruthless and shameless!"

Grand Tutor Yu remained silent. Ying Tong was about to reprimand the old ghost when Yan Wushuang spoke first.

His eyes were filled with tears of blood as he roared in grief and anger, "The Ji family of Yan had a good relationship with you, and this is how you repay the debt? You treat me like a pawn that can be discarded at any time, and you treat the destiny I endured for hundreds of years in hell as a joke."

Just to provoke Chen Sheng, that lowly commoner, they easily treated the dignified Crown Prince of Great Yan as a pawn.
What do you mean by the glory of my Great Yan, and the earnest expectations of its people?

"The victor is king, the loser is villain. Enough said, or we'll just give Old Demon Yu a laugh." Old Ghost Lu Ding shouted.

"Old Deer Cauldron, you are shameless! Grand Tutor Yu did nothing, yet you have the nerve to call him a demon. How cruel you are! You did such a vicious thing to His Highness the Crown Prince, shouldn't His Highness scold you?"

The common people outside the palace couldn't stand it anymore.

In fact, the wealthy and influential people in the palace were also extremely indignant, but they were knowledgeable and knew what "quasi-Great Luo" represented, so they had some reservations.

"If it weren't for rescuing Yan Dan, would I have ended up with my head severed and my soul imprisoned?" The old ghost of the Deer Cauldron howled fiercely, his voice piercing the eardrums and silencing everyone inside and outside the hall.

"The Eight-Turn Wisdom Pill is even more precious than the Eight-Turn Bone-Changing Pill. Even the dignified Grand Tutor of the Great Qin Dynasty, Yu Fengxian, could not obtain a single high-grade Bone-Changing Pill."

Even though I have a past connection with King Zhao of Yan, is this connection enough to warrant an Eight-Turn Wisdom Pill?
Every destiny to immortality comes at a price.

If you had assassinated Ying Tong, if you hadn't been captured by Yu Fengxian, if you had become the King of Yan by relying on Yan Dan's connections and wisdom, would you care about the trivial matter of me using you to provoke Chen Sheng?

Your current agitation and indignation are simply a case of being able to win but not being able to afford to lose.

Yan Wushuang cried out in grief and indignation, "If you truly care for me, even if I perish halfway through our great cause, I will accept it."

But from the very beginning you looked down on me, despised me, treated me like a useless pawn, and sacrificed and used me at will. And you still expect me to be grateful to you?
I, Yan Dan, am not that despicable!

“I’ll say this even in front of your ancestor, King Zhao—you have great ambitions but lack the magnanimity of a king. You’re just like Lord Mengchang and Lord Xinling, with the temperament of a chivalrous hero but not the aura of a king,” the old ghost of the Deer Cauldron shouted.

"In your heart, am I the same as the Fourth Young Master?" Yan Wushuang was stunned for a moment, then her expression softened. "You look down on them too?"

The old ghost shouted, "Do you think I, the Great Immortal, am some ignorant mortal outside the palace who bows and worships princes and noblemen?"

I cursed Ying Zheng even when he was still alive.

Even your ancestor, King Zhao of Yan, was only worthy of sharing a couple of cups of wine with me.

Chong'er and Xiaobai invited me to a banquet, but I couldn't be bothered to pay them any attention.

Third-rate heroes like you and the Fourth Young Master are as numerous as carp crossing a river in the history of humanity.

My attitude towards you is what you deserve.

It's not that I look down on you. If I really looked down on you, I would be targeting you.

Only an ancient demon like Yu Fengxian, appearing only once in billions of years, is worthy of my targeting.

Yan Wushuang was filled with grief and indignation again, and shouted: "What gives you the right to be so arrogant? If you are so arrogant, why come to the mortal world to support the Dragon Court and earn human fortune? Go to heaven and breathe your last, looking down on the mortal world!"

"What I seek is the Great Way, and I regard all things as straw dogs. This is neither arrogance nor humility. I simply deal with things as they are and treat everyone equally."

You yourself tell me, was my judgment on you wrong?

After taking Tonghuidan for over a year, what have you accomplished in Yandi?
Look at Old Demon Yu again. She's only been in the Central Plains for a few years. How many big things can she do in a year?

"If you had even a tenth of her ability, you would have restored the Yan Kingdom long ago, and we wouldn't be in this state today."

As he finished speaking, Old Ghost looked dejected, and there was a hint of resentment in his voice.

Although I didn't have high expectations for Yan Wushuang, I did give him an Eighth-Rank Wisdom Pill, which indirectly helped him improve his reputation and strengthen his relationship with the Qi Refining Circle in the North.

He certainly hoped that Yan Wushuang could achieve great things.

As a result, the southern states of Qi and Wei were restored, and Yan Wushuang fought the "Little King of Bohai" for over a year, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
Grand Tutor Yu chuckled, took a sip of tea, ate a pastry, and watched them argue in public.

Ying Tong also remained silent, watching Yan Wushuang wail with a look of utter satisfaction.

"Alright, Yan Dan, you're a hero too. Accept your loss and stop complaining like a nagging woman." After arguing for a bit more, Lu Ding Lao Gui, reminded and persuaded by Fu Qiu Gong and the others, was the first to regain his senses.

"Yu Fengxian, are you pleased and delighted to see me reduced to this state, making a fool of myself in front of mortals?"

Grand Tutor Yu smiled and nodded, saying frankly, "I am indeed quite pleased to see you reveal your true colors."

However, the result at this point was not the best outcome I had hoped for.

You guessed right, I had already prepared the Mirror of Retribution.

The public trial will begin at 3:45 AM. An hour beforehand, I've written a document and sent it to the underworld, asking King Qin Guang (Ximen Bao) for a small favor. He must then obey my command to activate the Mirror of Retribution.

He activated the Mirror of Retribution in the underworld, and I used the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation Eye' (Demon Eye Hell) to connect the human world and the underworld, drawing the celestial light of the Mirror of Retribution over.

But my preparations go far beyond the Mirror of Evil and the Light of Immortality.

I would much rather those who keep you company in the sky couldn't resist coming down and fighting me.

The satisfaction I feel for not being able to drag them all down is far less than you might imagine.

After all, you're already dead, and your place in my heart isn't as high as you think.

Our feud ended last night. Today's match is for all the 'potential Ronaldo' players.

"You, you're too arrogant!" Old Ghost Lu Ding exclaimed in shock and anger. "If they had listened to me, you would already be dead by now."

Grand Tutor Yu said, “I’m still sitting here. Go and persuade them! I’ll give you time and a chance.”

I can also promise that even if you shatter the Northern Continent, I will not run away.

"Ah, the continental plates have broken apart, so what about us?"

A cry of surprise rang out from among the people outside the palace.

The distinguished scholars and gentry inside the hall were all pale-faced and filled with fear.

Grand Tutor Yu sighed, "This Immortal Lu Ding is only one step away from attaining the Great Luo Dao. What step is he missing?"
To guide the great calamity of heaven and earth and obtain the fortune of humanity.

You have all seen and heard how steadfast his pursuit of the Way is, and his attitude towards all living beings.

There are dozens of other aspiring Grandmasters like him; they are like bloodsucking leeches, crawling on the body of China and frantically sucking its blood.

The Great Qin Dynasty, once a glorious kingdom on earth, was brought to the brink of collapse by them.

They probably don't care at all about the lives of the people in the north.

I have been practicing Taoism for less than twenty years, and I can barely protect myself, let alone take care of you!

However, you are not lambs to the slaughter.

If you pray together to the Heavenly Emperor and the Dao Ancestor, they will sense your prayers and surely protect you and punish these wicked immortals.

Ultimately, the emperor was always a good man; it was just that treacherous officials blinded his wisdom.

The Jade Emperor in Heaven is good, and the Heavenly Court is good too; it's just that the gods below abuse their power and act recklessly!

"Old Demon Yu, you're talking nonsense!" Old Ghost Lu Ding roared angrily.

"Heavens above! The Immortal Deer Cauldron is going to shatter the continent! Help!"

Outside, hundreds of ordinary people, following the guards and eunuchs of the Prince's Palace, knelt on the ground and howled at the sky.
