Chapter 96 Authority Heavenly Dao, Ha, Heavenly Dao
To be honest, when Granny Tai Li said those words, not only Xiao Jiu, but even the system and the others were completely bewildered.
Suanni quickly jumped over and asked, "Grandma, what do you mean by that?"
Grandma Taili was puzzled: "Hmm? Did I not explain something clearly?"
Everyone: ......
You clearly haven't explained anything clearly!
Suanni said directly, "Yes, we don't understand what you're saying at all."
Grandma Tai Li paused for a moment in that upside-down position, then moved a little further down the tree, finally managing to get her head in a normal position.
She said, "Xiao Jiu can always control whether the flowers growing in the farmland are mutated or spiritualized."
Everyone: !?
They all looked at Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu just looked confused and tilted her head at them: "Huh?"
Seeing this, everyone turned to look at the system.
System: "I really don't know!"
While the system was still performing various calculations, Granny Tai Li spoke first: "Little Jiu, do you remember when the Moon Spring suddenly started gushing water?"
Xiao Jiu thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I remember."
Under Grandma Tai Li's guidance, Xiao Jiu recounted the entire incident in detail.
Xiao Jiu: "Back then, we didn't have enough points to exchange for much water. A Yu was very tired, and everyone was very tired. Xiao Jiu just wanted there to be water in this world."
The truth is, the moment Xiao Jiu had this thought, the Moon Spring was activated.
Suanni had a vivid memory of the moment when the Moon Spring suddenly started gushing water. His eyes darted around, and he suddenly thought of something.
Suanni: "Wait! Could it be that when we went to that world and brought Fuyu back, the Moon Spring suddenly appeared because of Xiao Jiu?"
Grandma Tai Li: "That's right."
At Suanni's insistence, she explained as simply as possible: "Well... one of you must have mentioned something like 'the props are useless' before, and Xiao Jiu remembered that."
The Moon Spring is a composite of "the tears of the Little Mermaid" and "fragments of Artemis's mirror".
Taotie immediately remembered: "The system mentioned it before, saying that the Princess Tears that Xiao Jiu exchanged was very expensive."
Everyone immediately looked at the system with condemnation.
system:"......"
System: "I was wrong."
According to Grandma Tai Li, although Xiao Jiu's mind wasn't working properly at the time, she could still sense the system's tone.
The system shouted out in a panic, but it unexpectedly made Xiao Jiu uneasy.
After he was struck by divine lightning and evolved, his mind recovered somewhat, and he gradually developed an idea.
—Make good use of the prop "The Little Mermaid's Tears".
They were just lucky; the two items happened to have the same properties, so they were able to complete the "synthesis" by taking advantage of the energy from the drastic change in the spatial rift.
Just as everyone was marveling at it, the system finished its calculations.
However, unlike in the past, this time it found absolutely nothing.
System: "Something's not right. All of the host's data is normal. I can't see any energy relationship between the host and this world..."
The system checked again and panicked: "What's going on? Have I been infected with a virus again?"
Fu Yu thought for a moment and said to the system, which was practically smoking with anxiety, "System, don't worry, it might be because of some kind of permission issue."
Upon hearing this, Suanni clapped its paws and said, "That's right, System, didn't you say that Xiao Jiu's permissions are higher than yours? Maybe that's why you can't find it."
After all, the system is more concerned about Xiao Jiu right now, so it temporarily accepted this explanation and plans to investigate it in more detail later when it has time.
It hurriedly asked Grandma Tai Li, "Could you tell us more about this energy?"
There was nothing we could do. Although Xiao Jiu possessed this mysterious power, his little brain certainly couldn't figure it out, so we could only rely on Grandma Tai Li.
Grandma Tai readily agreed.
As a deity, Granny Taili sees a world different from that of ordinary beings. Now she is explaining some profound concepts, using many words that even Qianchuan, a three-thousand-year-old tortoise, cannot understand.
Suanni could barely understand some of it, but for Xie Chuanfeng and Fuyu, it was like listening to gibberish.
As for Xiao Jiu and Taotie, their faces had already scrunched up from listening.
However, to Xiao Jiu's left, the golden system was frantically inputting data and performing various calculations.
Finally, not long after Grandma Tai Li finished explaining, something like a stream of light slid across the system's body.
"I see!"
It suddenly looked up: "The host possesses authority similar to that of the Heavenly Dao!"
Everyone:"......"
Everyone: "Huh!?"
This involves the four-way relationship between Xiao Jiu, the system, the Elf Tree, and this world, and everyone is tired of hearing this theory, so the system will skip it.
It organized the data and then put it in a way that was easier for everyone to understand: "To put it simply, my host has higher authority than me, right?"
Everyone nodded.
The system pointed to the nearby spirit tree with its tail: "But I can control this spirit tree, so you can understand that my host's authority is also higher than that of the spirit tree."
The Elf Tree is the core of this world.
According to the system's analysis, Xiao Jiu's energy level exceeds that of the World Tree, which is the "authority level" issue it refers to.
This reasoning can be summarized in one sentence: Xiao Jiu's will is the highest priority.
This means that everything in this world can be changed with just a thought from Xiao Jiu.
Fu Yu, Qian Chuan, and Suanni were so surprised that their mouths were unconsciously agape, while Xie Chuanfeng's expression was as if he had been struck by lightning.
Fu Yu murmured, "The Way of Heaven..."
Back when this place had just transformed from a spatial rift into a dimensional world, Fuyu and Qianchuan had discussed matters concerning the Heavenly Dao together.
At the time, they all felt that the system's state was extremely similar to the Heavenly Dao, but they never expected that this "true Heavenly Dao" was actually Xiao Jiu!
Seeing their incredulous expressions, the system directly asked its host about specific instances of planting flowers over the years.
It's fortunate that Xiao Jiu isn't human.
His brain wasn't capable of complex thinking, but his memory was exceptional, so he only needed a short time to completely recount the situation.
Xiao Jiu replied to the system: "At that time, there were no points left. Xiao Jiu knew that mutated flowers could be exchanged for a lot of points, so she wanted to make mutated flowers grow in the farmland."
The system glanced at everyone's expressions and then asked, "Host, what about that time when the irises were planted many times in a row and kept blooming mutated flowers?"
Xiao Jiu: "That time, Meow Meow was hungry, and the materials for Meow Meow's special food couldn't be grown. That's why Xiao Jiu wanted to make the iris seeds bloom into spirit flowers."
At that time, the recipe for Suanni's exclusive food could not be unlocked, which infuriated Suanni.
They planted all the flowers in order of rank, from lowest to highest.
Irises are level 3 flowers, while farmland was level 6 at that time.
With a difference of 3 levels, the growing period of irises is not only greatly shortened, but also the flowers fade very quickly once they mature, making them quite troublesome to grow.
Unfortunately, they were unlucky; they planted mutated irises six times in a row. As soon as the flowers were harvested, they would bar their fangs and claws and lunge at people's hearts, looking particularly ferocious.
Later, the Suanni got so tired that it started whipping the mutated irises.
He vented his anger, but the flowers were ruined.
The system cried out in distress, while the Suanni said angrily, "It's all because this flower never blooms into a spirit, otherwise my exclusive food recipe would have been unlocked by 20% long ago."
After hearing this, Xiao Jiu simply hugged the Suanni and patted its head, saying, "Don't be afraid, meow meow, there are flowers."
Xiao Jiu meant that if she planted it again, she could grow a Spirit Flower.
According to the system's previous statistics, the appearance of spirit flowers and mutated flowers is completely random, and no one can say for sure what will be planted next.
However, no one refuted Xiao Jiu's statement, and they simply planted irises again.
Soon, the flowers bloomed.
It really was a spirit-transformed flower.
At the time, none of them paid much attention, only feeling fortunate that their luck had finally turned around. But now that they knew the flowering was related to Xiao Jiu, they were speechless for a moment.
Fu Yu, Qian Chuan, and Suanni were simply surprised, while Xie Chuanfeng's expression was somewhat complicated.
Xie Chuanfeng glanced at Xiao Jiu, then looked down at the sword at his waist.
After a long silence, he suddenly asked, "Then... was the Heavenly Punishment Lightning also stopped by Xiao Jiu?"
Xie Chuanfeng was referring to the incident two weeks ago when the Suanni was almost struck by lightning as divine punishment.
The Suanni and the others were all taken aback.
yes!
For some time now, they had believed that the reason the gluttonous beast arrived in time and swallowed the lion whole was because the heavenly lightning had lost its "target," which is why it only flashed a few times in the clouds before disappearing.
But now that Xie Chuanfeng said that, they all felt as if they had been hit on the head.
Facing the intense gazes of the crowd, Xiao Jiu blinked and whispered, "Xiao Jiu thinks lightning hurts. My dog was injured by red lightning before, and I don't want it to fall."
The system exclaimed excitedly, "See that?! See that?! My host is amazing, the best in the world!"
Just a thought was enough to stop the impending heavenly tribulation.
This completely brought down the "Heavenly Dao" that cultivators considered supreme.
Xie Chuanfeng instinctively opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly he saw his left hand.
His left arm should have been reduced to a single piece.
But now, his arm was flexible and free, and its color and texture were exactly the same as his real arm.
Xie Chuanfeng was stunned for a few seconds, then closed his mouth helplessly.
Fu Yu and Qian Chuan noticed his unusual behavior, and their eyes showed some worry.
The Suanni didn't pay attention to all that. He climbed directly onto Xiao Jiu and laughed heartily, "As expected of the little guy I chose back then!"
The Suanni made its body a little bigger so that it could use its thick, chubby paws to touch Xiao Jiu's head.
The Suanni said in a pleasant tone, "The Way of Heaven, ha, the Way of Heaven."
Although his tone was cheerful, his eyes were full of mockery.
He chuckled softly and looked down at the Taotie that Xiao Jiu was holding in her palm.
The Taotie, which had been quietly waiting, seemed to sense something and raised its head.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the Suanni.
Suanni: "Hmm?"
The Taotie's diamond-shaped red eyes curved into an arc, making it look as if it was smiling: "Hmm."
They were using sign language, clearly not intending to explain to anyone else.
However, the Suanni was whipping its tail like a ribbon, making a whooshing sound as it cut through the air, while the Taotie's tail was only the size of a fingernail. Although it was also shaking rapidly, it looked like it was twitching.
Suanni: "Hmm?"
Taotie: "Awoo!"
The two of them kept making "uh-huh" noises, but they wouldn't say anything that anyone could understand.
Fu Yu originally wanted to ask what Suanni was sneering about, but as he watched, he saw the shrunken Suanni and Taotie laughing and slapping each other. Fu Yu just silently turned his face away.
—I just don't want to ask anymore.
Now that the problem with Xiao Jiu has been clarified, after some discussion, everyone, including Xiao Jiu, unanimously agreed to put this energy with Grandma Tai Li for the time being.
Power never comes from one side, and Xiao Jiu is clearly not yet capable of bearing its corresponding responsibility.
Grandma Tai Li said, "Then I'll keep it for now, and take it back when you want to use it someday."
Although Xiao Jiu felt he had absolutely no need for it, he still earnestly replied, "Okay," after hearing Grandma Tai Li's gentle tone.
Grandma Tai Li returned to the tree, and the Kui Niu circled the mountain once more before returning to the bottom of the Fairy Lake.
The spirits Xiaoxue and Chenghuang flew back and forth in the air, chasing each other at such a fast speed that only afterimages could be seen.
The wind whipped up by the two running at high speed covered the tiger's face. The little tiger, who was breathing in spiritual energy at the foot of the mountain, shuddered, burped, and exhaled a puff of black smoke.
Upon seeing this, the little snakes and rabbits on the Spirit Flower, which were not yet able to transform, laughed so hard they rolled around.
The fruit trees in the mountains are laden with fruit, and the crystal-like fruits exude a sweet fragrance. This fragrance blends with the scent of flowers to create a unique aroma in this world.
The weather is fine today, with a gentle breeze, bright sunshine, and the babbling brook.
System: "Yay! Everything's normal. Let's go, let's keep planting flowers!"
Xiao Jiu raised her hand high: "Yay! Planting flowers!"
Qianchuan: "Judging by the time, the new level 9 flower seeds should all be soaked by now."
Fu Yu looked on with anticipation: "A level 9 flower seed! I wonder what a level 9 spirit flower will be like."
Xie Chuanfeng: "...I only care about how difficult it is to catch a level 9 mutated flower."
Fu Yu and Qian Chuan said in unison, "Don't worry, we believe in you, you will definitely be able to control it."
Xie Chuanfeng: "..."
They walked down the mountain, chatting and laughing.
In a corner unnoticed by anyone, where a spring of spirits flows, something stirred gently beneath the soil.
"Click".
