Chong Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, my father buried the remaining Spirit-Nourishing Stones on the top of the Divine Peak, and then planted the Spirit-Soothing Vine and the Cloud Tree."
"The Spirit-Soothing Vine was planted on the Spirit-Nourishing Stone. It's possible that the Spirit-Nourishing Stone was taken away, which is why the Spirit-Soothing Vine withered and died."
Chong Jiu didn't hide anything from Chao Tian and the others when he said these things, so they all heard it and were very surprised.
They had heard of the Spirit Stone before, but only in legends. They never expected to see it in person and learn of its other magical name.
Shu Jianyue took the Spirit Stone from his hand, but as soon as it was in her hand, it returned to its original state.
Shu Jianyue's lips twitched. "It still has its own consciousness."
“No, the Spirit Stone was transformed from the divine bones of my father and mother, so naturally it is closer to me.” Chong Jiu smiled and took the Spirit Stone back.
“If Yu’er and Xi Xi take it, he will also change.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Chuan immediately stepped forward and said, "Then I'll give it a try." With that, he grabbed the Spirit-Nourishing Stone.
Sure enough, the Spirit Stone in his hand emitted a faint light and its color was just as vibrant.
Yu Chuan took it, looked at it, and then handed it to Yan Xi.
Yan Xi looked at the faintly glowing stone in her hand, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and then she fainted.
Yu Chuan, who was closest to her, quickly hugged her. "Xi Xi, what's wrong?"
Chong Jiu quickly stepped forward to check on her. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yan Xi had only fainted, and then began to examine why she had fainted.
Shu Jianyue watched anxiously from the side. Seeing Chongjiu frown, her heart couldn't help but rise, but she still didn't say anything to disturb him.
The others, including Chaotian, also looked anxious.
The more Zhong Jiu examined her, the more his brows furrowed, because he simply couldn't figure out why Xi Xi had fainted.
Looking down at the Spirit-Nourishing Stone in her hand, he couldn't help but try to take it out, but found that the Spirit-Nourishing Stone seemed to be stuck to her hand, and he couldn't get it out no matter what he did.
Seeing this, Shu Jianyue also stepped forward and tried, but she couldn't get it out either. "Could it be because of this?"
Chong Jiu nodded. "There's a high chance. Let's go back first."
Lian Sheng, who arrived later, immediately took out her spirit boat, regardless of whether she was in Siyuan City or not.
Before the city guards could even arrive, they had already taken control of the spirit boat and flown away.
Back at the Zhong family ancestral home, Chong Jiu carried Yan Xi back to her room and told the others to go and rest.
Seeing that none of them wanted to leave, Shu Jianyue looked at them and said, "Xixi will be fine. You should all go and rest. There's no point in you all crowding around here."
After they all left, Shu Jianyue closed the door to the room and casually set up a protective array before asking, "How is it? Still can't get the Spirit-Nourishing Stone?"
Chong Jiu nodded as he looked at the Spirit Stone, whose color was gradually darkening. "It should be fine. Xi Xi is more like she's absorbing the energy inside."
Shu Jianyue and Yu Chuan both came over and saw that the Spirit-Nourishing Stone was much dimmer and smaller than before.
"Dad, why was nothing wrong when I took it?" Yu Chuan scratched his head.
Chong Jiu glanced at him. "I didn't choose you."
Yu Chuan's expression cracked. "This stone is picky about who it is? In what way am I inferior to Xi Xi?"
“You’re no worse than Xixi. Maybe he just likes girls.” Shu Jianyue didn’t want the two siblings to develop a competitive attitude in the future, because that could easily lead to trouble.
Yu Chuan shook his head and sat down next to her. Thinking that he could also benefit from the energy that Yan Xi absorbed, he grinned and said, "So what if it chooses Xi Xi? I can still get its energy."
Shu Jianyue naturally thought of that as well, shook her head, and continued to look at Yan Xi.
It wasn't until the next day that Yan Xi woke up from her coma. Seeing her parents and brother watching over her, she smiled and said, "I'm fine."
"It's good that you're alright. Is there anything wrong?" Shu Jianyue helped her up.
Yan Xi shook her head, lifted the thin blanket, and got out of bed.
Standing in the center of the room, holding his hand level, looking at the Spirit Stone which was only half its original size, he silently recited the Divine Inheritance Mantra to absorb the energy of the Spirit Stone.
The Spirit Stone floated up in the next instant, illuminating the entire room. The long-dormant Candlelight suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Chong Jiu stared in disbelief at the illusory figure in mid-air.
"Jiu'er, what's wrong? Have you gone mad seeing your parents?" Youying on the right looked at him with a smile.
Before Chong Jiu could recover, he looked at Shu Jianyue.
Shu Jianyue immediately stood up straight and looked at them nervously.
Can anyone tell her why she was able to see her parents-in-law who had been gone for so long?
They also have to deal with the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship that they shouldn't have to face.
Youying looked at him for a while before smiling and saying, "Hmm, not bad, just a little lacking in aptitude. But it doesn't matter, once we return to the Upper God Realm, we can use the single lotus left by Mother in the Chaos Palace."
Upon hearing "single lotus," Shu Jianyue smiled shyly and said, "Well, Mother, I already have a single lotus."
“That’s different. No one can compare to what I grow.” You Ying looked at her with a smile, which made Shu Jianyue feel like she couldn’t refuse.
So he could only nod and reply, "Yes, thank you, Mother."
How come he called her "Mother" so naturally?
Thinking of something, she called Yu Chuan and Yan Xi forward and said, "Yu'er, Xi Xi, come and greet your grandparents."
Yu Chuan Yanxi immediately walked to her side, looked at the flickering candlelight in mid-air, and knelt down.
"Yuchuan, greet your grandparents."
"Yanxi greets her grandparents."
"Alright, alright, you're all good kids, get up now." Youying smiled and raised her hand, helping Yuchuan and Yanxi to their feet.
"Grandparents are in a special situation right now and can't give you a gift right now, but don't worry, we've already prepared it, and you can get it when you go upstairs."
"Yes, thank you, Grandpa and Grandma." Yu Chuan and Yan Xi stood up after thanking them.
Youying then looked at Shu Jianyue and asked, "And you?"
Her reminder made Shu Jianyue realize that she had done the procedure wrong, so she immediately knelt down and said, "Shu Jianyue greets Father and Mother."
She had just finished performing the grand ceremony when Chongjiu knelt down beside her.
"Okay, all is well." Youying looked at them with a smile the whole time.
At this moment, Zhuzhao, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Jiu'er, you can't ignore the affairs of the Upper God Realm. After all, they are the result of your parents' hard work. In the future, they will also belong to your children, so do what you can to handle them."
Chong Jiu nodded, "Don't worry, things won't get chaotic. My son has been keeping an eye on things."
"The two children haven't received the inheritance yet, and we're afraid that going too early might cause accidents, so we've been staying here."
Zhu Zhao looked at Yu Chuan and Yan Xi, "If you want them to accept the inheritance as soon as possible, then the only way is to go to the Chaos Palace. There, the residual power of our gods and the essence of our Dao remain, which will benefit them."
