Chapter 69· Kirin Fuji
Before Fuji, the Chōmyō clan did not have the tradition of superiors leading subordinates.
Because shortly after his birth, she completely understood his nature, and thus obtained the first large toy in her life.
Folklore speaks of auspicious creatures like the Qilin and the Phoenix. In times of peace and prosperity, the Qilin and the Phoenix would appear alternately, presumably living in harmony and working together. But unfortunately, those with phoenix wings are not actually phoenixes.
For many years, my only favorite game was freezing his tail fire and seeing when Fuji could burn through her solid ice.
The tail of the Qilin is the most important part of his body.
So when the Qilin lost its tail many years later, they were indeed on the verge of extinction. But they never imagined that, besides the spiritual energy they had brought to the world, there was an ability that could restore its severed tail, and someone would return the severed tail to it.
Of course, at that time, Fuji was far from seeing the cause and effect stretching out before him; he was only busy dealing with the one problem.
The tail fire is actually part of the Qilin's organs. Once frozen, it can't walk. The huge creature can only sit in place, hugging its tail, and obediently melt the ice.
He was repeatedly ridiculed.
He was indeed a rather old-fashioned young Qilin. He didn't hunt and eat raw food, and he would boil the stream water before drinking it. Later, he even entertained himself by tasting hundreds of herbs from Mount Culai. After poisoning himself several times, he found a very delicious tea. Later, he would add a few tea leaves after boiling water.
As long as Wei Yi doesn't cause him trouble, this mountain-like behemoth will simply sip its tea quietly.
Clearly, Fuji was not raised by his previous generation.
But he also experienced the same long wait as Wei Yi. The call of the Ancestral Stone Source made him look forward to the arrival of all his people. This unknown wait did not make him angry. Time flowed like water, only making him more gentle.
So when Sosan was born, even though "dragons" were such peerless beings that soared to the heavens, Fuji still dutifully raised and accompanied him until Sosan became an even more composed adult dragon than himself, and strictly carried out his traditions.
So when the inheritance reached the tenth person, the little bird, even though it was already the smallest, still stubbornly insisted on finding a next generation to be its eldest brother.
They couldn't bear to tell him that the Eternal Bright Ancestral Stone had been sealed after him, and the Five Elements Spiritual Realm of the Human World had been fully formed, meaning that no more generations would appear in the stone embryo.
Who knew that he would actually meet a girl later on.
…
Given Fuji's personality, it's perfectly normal for him to pick up someone and bring them back.
That year, outside Mount Culai, when he carried that little girl on his back in a bamboo basket filled with herbs, he actually struggled.
Before this, he had already caused trouble for the entire clan by taking in people out of kindness, and he had always felt deep remorse in his heart.
But at that time, Changming Village was located in the only split-off alternate dimension. How did this little girl fall into this rift?
No one could answer that question; at that time, his only expression was quite different from before.
Fuji was the only one, and the only one, to have spent the early years with her. He knew how lively the White Serpent was in her early years, so lively that it was even a little wicked. Back then, her icy white pupils always held a clear, sparkling light like ice crystals, and her silvery laughter echoed among the Zulai Mountains.
But now, the only one, with a worried look in its eyes, always quietly stays in the high mountain glacier area and rarely appears.
In fact, her carefree life began to change gradually after the birth of the sixth generation.
She had lived for far too long, witnessing the spiritual essence of heaven and earth emanating from the ancestral stone. All the spiritual energy in the world was brought and formed by their clan, and she began to feel that fortune and misfortune were unpredictable.
But living so long has also made her vaguely understand.
What is truly powerful is not any one of the five elements of spiritual energy. Even the most powerful attributes in later battles are completely powerless against a certain kind of power.
Everything tangible is powerless against intangible forces.
The most powerful force... is the shifting of stars and the changing of mountains and seas; it is the omnipresent... time.
Fuji watched as the only one fell into a void of thought unknown to anyone, as if she were facing a vast and boundless universe. Her thoughts merged into the eternal torrent, and her icy white figure began to flicker, until one day she suddenly realized the truth.
The only thing unaware of was that it had existed for hundreds of thousands of years before finally reaping a "fruit".
I wonder what kind of branches and leaves that fruit will grow from.
But later, they all found out.
…
But that's a story for another time. Hundreds of years ago, in the ancestral land of Changming, the sky was clear and the water was bright, bathed in the glow of the setting sun.
Fuji simply waited peacefully for the next birth of the Ancestral Stone.
Just like his expectations every time afterward.
He was like a male mother; from the very beginning, every generation of people born from the ancestral stone saw those gentle, golden-gray eyes the first thing they looked at when they opened their eyes.
He wondered what kind of being would emerge from the ancestral stone after him.
After observing the stars and pondering the heavens for many days, Wei Yi finally made a rigorous prediction on a spring evening when thunder rumbled:
It must be a giant earthworm!
Fuji believed it to be true and picked a lot of tender shoots and leaves that insects might eat.
Three days later, a blue dragon roared and emerged from the Everlasting Stone.
The first roar of a dragon from the sea was heard in the human world.
