Chapter 144 Past Events
Jiao Jue narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Didn't you want to hear about me? If you do, then sit down."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong quickly got up, plopped down on the ground, spread her wings, and said happily, "Since there's a story, why don't you quickly bring out some delicacies and fine wines, and we can eat and talk at the same time?"
"You know how to enjoy yourself now."
"Life has become much better since I started following you, Big Brother!" Ji Rong exclaimed exaggeratedly.
Jiao Jue was very pleased to hear this. He took out some rare fruits from his storage ring, and also took out a bottle of spirit wine and two jars, and placed them on the ground.
The dragon and the bird then began to drink together in a stone chamber filled with nine coffins and bright, demonic candles.
After drinking two cups, Jiao Jue didn't need Ji Rong to urge him. He then drew out a rain cloud swirling with lightning and wind from between his eyebrows.
Upon seeing the rain cloud, Ji Rong felt it was the embodiment of nature's power. Her legs went weak and she wanted to kneel down, but the wood within her body still supported her, preventing her from falling.
"What is this for?" Ji Rong asked, looking at the rain cloud.
"This is my authority." Jiao Jue looked at the rain cloud, then withdrew it from his forehead, saying:
“That day on Flower Island, I only heard a few of your new words, and this authority has evolved on its own. Now it is about to be unable to be suppressed and will give rise to divinity.”
This authority must be greater than that of the Azure Wave God.
If I were to go and govern my own territory, not only would I not receive His investiture, but I would also be exposed.”
Ji Rong was shocked to hear this. She put down the wine vessel and paced back and forth in the stone chamber, flapping her wings. She said, "Brother, don't worry. If it really comes to that, you can die quickly to find relief."
I will definitely come, secretly collect your body, summon back your soul, and find you a superior spiritual stream so you can bathe in it every day.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue felt relieved and said, "That's not necessary."
If I die, just send me to the spirit stream where the three-headed dragon resides; I think she will be willing to take me in.
"Cheer up, big brother! This power can evolve on its own, that's a really great thing!" Ji Rong suddenly stood up and shouted towards the "Haga" above.
After calling for a while, she said, "Since this divine authority insists on choosing the eldest brother, it must have its own arrangements."
That's what they said, but Jiao Jue and Ji Rong had no idea how to handle this power, so they could only take it one step at a time.
Ji Rong already knew how to deal with these great witch corpse puppets.
They first pried off a lot of the bricks under the stone chamber and started digging inside.
However, the true form of the witch flower is enormous. If all of them were to be dug out, half of the stone chamber would need to be pried open. Therefore, these great witch corpse puppets must first be properly placed.
Therefore, Jiao Jue set up an array in this cave, pouring the spirit crystal ore from his storage ring into it, allowing Ji Rong to take root.
As soon as Ji Rong opened the tree trunk, she saw the nine phantom souls of the great witches struggling on their foreheads, wanting to return.
As if sensing something, Ji Rong began to praise the true names of these deceased great shamans. One after another, the illusory souls, as if finding their way home, followed the roots that Ji Rong extended and eagerly branded themselves onto the ancestral tree veins within Ji Rong's body.
In this way, Ji Rong figured out a way to temporarily control the bodies of nine great witches.
She planted the tree roots directly into the foreheads of the various witches, and their souls would then return to their bodies along the veins of the roots.
However, Ji Rong could only make them walk, but could not use their abilities from when they were alive.
Having found a way to move the Great Shaman's body, the two emerged from the underground stone chamber and had Wu Yue convene the elders for another meeting.
Ji Rong, with wings on her back, said with a serious expression, "I was hired by your clan, so I will naturally think of your interests."
My technique is special, allowing me to temporarily enable the nine great shamans to travel, so you don't need to worry about any loss of our ancestors' legacy.
But this method is quite taxing on my spirit, and I worry that it might shorten my lifespan.
I first moved these nine bodies to the Island of Decay.
You must urge your disciples to redouble their efforts in cultivation, to reach the Great Witch Realm as soon as possible, and to quickly take these nine relics away.”
These words were spoken with righteous indignation, deeply moving the witches, who even felt ashamed of their previous words and actions.
This was exactly what Ji Rong wanted. In the past, these elders basically only listened to Jinlong and often ignored her.
Now, she's finally getting her chance to hold her head high and vent her anger for the first time.
After Ji Rong finished speaking, Jiao Jue continued, "I sensed from my bloodline that my ancestor is buried under the stone chamber. After Ji Rong and I have settled the remains of the various ancestral witches, I will retrieve the remains of my ancestral witch, Hua. Do you have any objections?"
"Witch Flower?" This unfamiliar name left all the witches bewildered.
After discussing it, they tacitly agreed with the idea of using a horn-shaped jade pendant, all saying that it was the proper way.
Therefore, Jiao Jue immediately took out two gift rings containing Canghe Jun's thanks and said, "This is a great favor, and I should thank you. Please do not refuse."
——————
The cause and effect in the world are always interconnected.
If the disciples of the Lich lineage had not undergone tempering, they might still have some interest in the remains of this true dragon, since eating a dragon could grant them physical strength.
However, the dragon bloodline is powerful. If one's own cultivation level is low and one consumes too much, the bloodline will become more impure.
Nowadays, the descendants of their two lineages all have bright futures and do not need to eat the remains of this ancient dragon to help them grow.
As the saying goes:
With favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious development of all things, now is the perfect time to move.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Ji Rong immediately instructed Wu Qi to remove the dark crystals from the hands of the nine great witch corpse puppets one by one, so as not to accidentally break them while moving them, and to prevent her own island from being destroyed first.
She also directed Gu Qingqing to forge a large, double-eared fine iron vat for her tree trunk.
He calmed himself down, found the "weaving method," and taught it to Ji Zhuang, so that Ji Zhuang could weave a rope for the double-eared iron jar to bind to the dragon's body.
After everything was prepared, Ji Rong summoned back the spiritual veins of the three-headed dragon and had them coil around her feet.
Jiaojue, carrying a double-eared iron vat on his back, transformed into a magic dragon and smashed open the passage. Ji Rong, who was following behind, jumped into the vat and transformed into a tree.
Ji Zhuang stood by and poured the spirit crystal ore from his storage ring into the ring;
The witch opened the stone chamber door that sealed the Great Witch's corpse puppet, opened her inner eye, and used her spiritual power to distort space and conceal everything.
Ji Rong extended her roots, connecting them to the Great Shaman, and directed them to climb onto the back of the Horned Jade and lie down.
For each one, Ji Zhuang would tie them up, and after tying them up, he would add spirit crystal ore to Ji Rong's jar. When the spirit crystal ore was used up, he would pour out spirit crystals. He was very busy.
After binding all nine great witch corpse puppets, the witch sat on the dragon's tail and stood alone in the stone chamber, casting illusion arrays while repairing the broken passageway.
Jiao Jue carried Ji Rong and her group at breakneck speed toward Tuifeng Island. Xuanwu and her companions held spirit crystals in their hands and opened their inner eyes to hide their tracks as much as possible.
Upon entering Tuifeng Island, the witch took out her slit seal, cut her wrist, and dripped blood onto the island.
As soon as the seal was broken, Jiao Jue rushed in.
Upon entering the seal, Ji Rong immediately retracted the roots connecting the various witch corpse puppets; her head was throbbing, her mind was exhausted, and she fainted.
