Ancient God Terrace Hair Plucking Record
The small mound of earth that once stood before the ancient temple turned out to be no bigger than a grave mound in the mortal realm.
It's strange, usually things appear larger when they are closer and smaller when they are farther away, but this is the complete opposite.
From above the clouds, I can imagine how magnificent the temple beneath the mountain must be.
Upon arriving, one can't help but marvel at the exquisite structure of the small temple within.
Legend has it that the Ancient Goddess was a very down-to-earth deity. Instead of living near the Non-Empty Mountain that she created herself, she chose to build her palace in the Lower String, which was closer to the Void Realm Mountain and the lower realm.
I guess he's a god who likes to wander around, which I find quite endearing.
I've also heard that whenever she goes out, she covers the ancient temple with a hill.
If one day the temple reveals its true face, it must be the return of an ancient god.
However, for hundreds of thousands of years, coming here to worship the ancient god is like visiting a grave; one simply bows to the small mound of earth.
If you want to see what the temple looks like, then live life to the fullest. When the ancient god remembers home and is willing to return, you will eventually meet him.
I found that some people couldn't wait, like the little hole I had glued to my eye.
This must be the work of some anonymous rat spirit who broke his teeth halfway through digging the tunnel.
I tried to peek through the hole with one eye open and the other closed, hoping to catch a glimpse of the temple, but all I saw was that front tooth whimpering and gleaming.
The ancient walls of the divine academy, which even immortal teeth couldn't break through, are naturally impenetrable to my eyes.
The gaze shifts to the ancient god's round platform next to the earthen mound.
Four pillars of celestial power occupy the cardinal directions, standing as tall as two Shangqixian Xuanguan Towers, majestic and imposing, their aura surging into the sky.
The widest part of the truncated cone could fit about twenty small mounds side by side.
Compared to the ancient temple, it is somewhat disproportionate.
Looking around at the vast, empty expanse of yellow sand, I concluded that the size of the ancient temple should be estimated based on the proportions of the ancient altar.
Perhaps, all the spaces, all the hidden barriers, are the bricks and tiles, the eaves, the corridors of an ancient temple...
I'm not exaggerating, it really is huge, so grand that you can't possibly live in it all.
The vast expanse of yellow sand, seemingly empty yet not empty, undulating yet calm, left me in a daze.
After a short while, I seemed to figure out where the porch was, where the library was, and where...
Huh? Rows and rows, what are those?
A gust of wind swept by, and my eyes blurred for a moment.
After that, those scenes, which seemed like they were just imagined, were never seen again.
Could it be an ancient god manifesting himself?
I'm so lucky! Does that mean my wish will definitely come true?
She immediately took a step, her dress billowing, and walked through the starlight between the pillars of immortal power, stepping onto the ancient divine platform.
I am like a fallen flower returning to the branch, but I feel that the seasons have lost their flow, and here there is only the endless spring.
The ancient divine power surrounding me was like a school of wild, colorful fish, encircling me at the center.
Immediately afterwards, groups of celestial energy converged into chains of light, swaying like serpents and meandering close by.
Divine and celestial power converged into an intimate embrace, lingering around me for a long time.
"Is this a test to gauge the sincerity of those making wishes?"
I don't know how long this test will last, but this feeling of being bathed in the flow of the source is both peaceful and wonderful.
I even had the illusion that the ancient altar was flirting with me and asking me to make a wish.
I am but a minor goddess, what wish could I possibly grant from the ancient altar?
Should we build a canopy over it, put up a fence around it, or pave its mottled ground with a layer of fairy bricks?
It seems neither is the case. The ancient altar is calling me, hoping I will spend more time with it.
Well then, it seems my wish is indeed putting it and the ancient gods in a difficult position.
I silently closed my waiting eyes.
Whoosh, a breeze is blowing.
In the sea of consciousness, towering mountains appeared, their rocks tinkling like celestial music.
Then, a figure slowly approached, shrouded in mist. I seemed to understand immediately; he came from beyond the boundless heavens.
But!
Who is that? How would I know about the Boundless Heaven?
The tinkling sound of the rocks still echoed in my ears, and my whole body felt a comfortable, cool sensation, like jade.
A familiar feeling of delicate gauze enveloping the body dispelled the doubts.
I opened my mouth and then instantly opened my eyes.
This is?
I looked down and stretched out my arms, and I saw that the fairy clothes had actually been changed!
Wow, it must be that the ancient gods gave me her clothes.
So beautiful!
The celestial robes on her body are woven from starlight, with celestial power creating a tapestry of beauty.
Its shimmering light shines like the sun and moon, its ethereal grace is like duckweed in the breeze.
The pendant is made entirely of white jade and emerald green ornaments; with the slightest movement, it tinkles and chimes, like the sound of a flowing spring.
I happily twirled around in the divine mist and celestial dust of the ancient altar, the sound of jade echoing with my movements.
As I was turning around, it suddenly occurred to me that my wish was to find the ancient elixir to nourish the immortal body for the Heavenly Emperor.
Why did the ancient god dress me in a celestial robe covered with the essence of various jade mines?
Does that mean that pleasing the eye is the best medicine? If so, I would be more than willing.
Should I hurry to the Purple Palace and show it to the Heavenly Emperor?
Of course, just in case...
Before the thought even finished, I was enveloped in a series of crisp, ringing sounds, and long chains of starlight shot up into the clouds like a comet flowing backward.
However, as soon as it reached the air, a dazzling beam of red dust suddenly fell from the top of Feikong Mountain.
A red light condensed before my eyes, transforming into a beautiful fairy who gazed at me from afar.
He was dressed in red with silver hair, and had a peach petal-shaped divine mark on his forehead.
I was so startled that I grabbed the cloud and froze, too afraid to move.
He, he, he!
Could it be Youqing Peach Abode, the Emperor, and Yifengqu?
I stared at him, stunned.
He looked back at me thoughtfully.
Then came a face like a peach blossom, eyes like peach blossoms, silver hair flowing in the wind, blank and indifferent, standing among the clouds.
"It feels like I haven't seen him for at least four hundred thousand years."
A moment of contemplation crossed his mind.
Who? Who is speaking?
My consciousness fluctuated for a moment, then quickly returned to calm.
Yi Fengqu's gaze gradually dimmed and relaxed.
My clenched heart pounded, then gradually relaxed.
Perhaps the Emperor was just passing by? I'm thinking about how to sneakily pretend to be passing by as well.
Just then, a beautiful figure in black appeared, holding the "Return to the Origin" spear, and came flying through the clouds.
He scared me even more. Why was the Emperor Zangli, who had reverted to his male form in full armor, here?
I looked down at the fairy robes and felt a chill run down my spine.
Do they think I stole this fairy robe from an ancient temple?
Oh no, I didn't steal Yuanhe! Your Majesties, please don't misunderstand, and please don't beat me up!
My legs trembled, and the clouds shook in fear, just like me, so spineless.
At that moment, my mind raced: Should I call Xie Jinhui over and have him act as a shield for me?
No, no, I'll have to carry it myself. Sigh.
Unexpectedly, the two emperors looked at me for a while, then smiled at each other.
In the blink of an eye, they hit it off immediately, moved in unison, and each of them flew away in their own plumes of red and black smoke.
No word was left behind.
I stood there in mid-air, staring blankly for a long time, before finally blinking.
Looks like I'm alright now?
There must be something going on between them! Like, they arranged to meet here, and then I bumped into them, causing them to miss some kind of opportunity?
I slapped my forehead: No, no, I've just escaped danger one day and I'm already thinking about dangerous places.
Now, the most urgent task is to hurry to the Purple Extreme Palace and perform the circular healing ritual for Emperor Shengsheng.
Swoosh~
Upon arriving at the Ziji Palace Square, I first bowed to the Taisu Wunian Stone.
I had just lowered my head when I suddenly looked up.
Did the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone flash with a white light?
No, it's still a deep, dark black.
Am I seeing things? Of course I am. Who wouldn't be confused if they saw two emperors in one day?
I thought I'd first find a messenger to inquire about the Heavenly Emperor's condition. If he's unwell, I'll come back tomorrow.
As a result, I had just stepped onto the first step of the celestial staircase outside the palace and was still smelling the fragrance of lotus flowers in the Azure Pool.
Then, the Celestial Physicians of the Immortal Realm, led by the old Celestial Physician Qi Tu, filed out of the hall. Their eyes, which were usually filled with medical books and herbs, suddenly became moist and stared at me.
What's going on?
With so many skilled healers, the moment they saw me, they were like bees seeing a flower with abundant pollen; their eyes betrayed that they were plotting how to make me.
Qi Tu, the Heavenly Physician, raised his hand and pressed down, keeping the Heavenly Physicians behind him in place, preventing them from boiling over.
The old doctor came over and politely called out to me.
"Goddess Yuan'e, where did these jade marrow essences on your body come from?"
He wasn't asking about the fairy robes, but rather about these pendants and ornaments.
I recounted the origin of the fairy robe in detail, saying it was a gift from an ancient god.
Qi Tu was extremely excited and repeatedly said that the ancient gods had protected him.
The Heavenly Physician asked me if he could remove a piece to examine it properly, saying that these jade marrow pieces were treasures that the entire immortal realm had searched for for 100,000 years without finding.
I immediately agreed.
Qi Tu took one and summoned several senior physicians (whose wrinkles indicated they were old) to examine it together.
The more they watched, the more excited they became, and they all praised the ancient god.
Finally, I saw Qi Tu Tian Yi use the "Nine-Turn Elixir Condensation Technique" to turn jade into dust.
Dust drifted in the air, enveloped in divine power.
Several celestial physicians plucked powder from the sky, smelled it on their fingertips, and tasted it.
Before long, they all congratulated each other and nodded in agreement.
The Heavenly Physician Qi Tu was overjoyed and rushed over to me, saying, "Goddess Yuan'e, great joy! The Ancient God must have heard the wishes of the entire Immortal Realm and appointed you, Goddess Yuan'e, as her messenger to bestow upon me the ancient divine medicine that I have been searching for for so long."
With this medicine, the Heavenly Emperor's immortal body will surely be fully restored, and there will be no further trouble.
"That's wonderful!" I was overjoyed. It turned out to be a lucky coincidence. "So what the ancient gods bestowed was truly a good medicine to nourish the immortal body."
It's because I'm blind and didn't see it; it must be..."
"Goddess Yuan'e, please forgive my impertinence," Qi Tu interrupted my flattery, giving me a serious look.
"Can the remaining chalcedony be removed and handed over to the Heavenly Hospital?"
I readily agreed. Although jade is beautiful to wear, it's something I should give up.
"However..." Physician Qitu continued, "This dosage of medicine is probably not enough. I wonder if Goddess Yuan'e could go to the Ancient Temple tomorrow to ask the ancient gods for more?"
"Of course," I replied without hesitation, and then asked, "How much do you want?"
Qi Tu stroked his beard, calculated the amount of jade in my immortal robes, and exchanged views with the other immortal physicians before confidently turning to me.
"If it's this much every time, I'll need at least a month's worth of medication."
“Okay,” I said, “Even if the Ancient God doesn’t give me this much at once, this goddess is willing to run errands for Emperor Shengsheng for a month.”
"If only the ancient God would grant it to me."
Qi Tu shook his beard and nodded emphatically at me.
We agreed that if I obtained the jade, we would meet at the Heavenly Hospital at this time tomorrow.
Next, a group of celestial healers surrounded me, bowed together, and said hello.
"Goddess Yuan'e, I'm sorry for the offense!"
And so, the chalcedony on my body became like fallen leaves from a tree, drifting away one by one in the celestial aura and starlight.
Ultimately, it falls into the fertile palms of every Heavenly Physician.
When I left the Purple Palace, I felt both heroic and desolate.
After all, I understand how a peacock feels after its tail feathers have been plucked.
The Heavenly Emperor needs to rest after consuming the jade powder, and I also need to calm my mind.
Although, on my way back to Qingning Pavilion, the immortal friends I met would all praise how beautiful my clothes were today, and some would even add that it was a gift from Lord Xie.
I could only awkwardly laugh it off: Thank you, yes, okay, it is...
Ah, only I know how magnificent this celestial robe was in its prime.
Pushing open the door to the demon's lair, I sat directly at the table and took pictures of the potted plants.
Xie Jinhui was certainly not among them; he would probably only have time to return to Moxu Chenyuan after the sun had set.
Today was actually a very meaningful day.
They bestowed names upon the Twelve Fairies of True Beauty, went to the Ancient Divine Palace to obtain divine medicine, and met two emperors...
Most importantly, the Holy Emperor's illness will be greatly cured, and I will also have some credit for that.
very nice.
I propped my elbows on the table, cupped my cheeks in my hands, and involuntarily spoke to the void, "Xie Jinhui, do you know, today..."
"Yuan'e, are you stupid! Did you think the pot would be like before, where you'd get an echo every time you asked?"
The thought of him not being there made me feel a pang of loss.
To my surprise, the surface of the water in the basin rippled slightly, and then came the sound I most wanted to hear at that moment.
"Yuan'e, what's wrong with you today?"
It was him! My heart skipped a beat.
I looked into the basin and saw Xie Jinhui lying on a silver couch, looking at me from the side.
A smile unconsciously crept onto my lips. My first reaction upon seeing him was, surprisingly, that I wanted to... tease him.
"Xie Jinhui, it turns out you not only skipped Zu Jun's classes, but also your disciple's classes."
"Oh my, Xie Shenjun, you're quite the escape artist!"
He smiled lazily, and the face in the basin grew bigger again, he said shamelessly.
"Whose fault is it? Blame Yuanhe for thinking about me too many times today. Even if I ran away, it was you who instigated me."
