Chapter 158 Land Consolidation
Jiaojue spoke first: "I have attained divine status and am the God of Celestial Phenomena. As my subordinates, you must be careful in your words and deeds from now on and must not cause trouble outside in my name."
The Golden Dragon has truly become a god, a god of celestial phenomena! The good days for the Witchcraft Tribe have arrived!
The elders of the shamans were overjoyed and bowed again, saying, "May Heaven bless our surviving shaman clan. Congratulations, Your Excellency."
Jiao Jue then said, “All the mountains and waters of Canglan are my vassals. The proud god Yinpan will manage the lands of the lower realm for me. You must accept His jurisdiction and must not be disrespectful.”
The silver plate will also gradually free you from mining, and you can later send your clan's children to settle in the Canglan Mountains.
The two dragons on Xifeng Island are nephews and nieces of the original form of Yinpan. They will stay here to guard the area. If you need anything, you can ask them to send a message to Yinpan.
I cannot stay in this mortal realm for more than a few days.
"Witchfin, lead the way and guide us through the Hundred Islands Formation."
After bowing his head, Wuqi never straightened it again. When he heard the god at the head of the table call his name, he respectfully bowed again and said, "Yes." Then he and Tuanwu led the way.
They first explored the four spirit crystal mines and their associated islands.
The first place we visited was Eagle Wind Island, which was dedicated to the Temple of War.
When Ji Rong first entered this mine, which was dug by slaves, she saw that the group of cultivators came from all races, but without exception, their faces were dark and bluish, and they all looked like they were about to die.
Wuqi took the initiative to introduce the affairs of the mine. He said, "These guys are all prisoners of war. We poison their daily food. When they die, we throw them into the sea. Now there are no fish left in this area. They have all been cleaned up."
When they arrived at Tuifeng Island, Jiaojue did not allow them to enter the mine. He said, "The Wu tribe has received a lot of care from Ji Rong. This place has been designated as her private property, used to nurture the things within her body. It is usually managed by the Tuanwu." Tuanwu and Wuqi nodded in agreement.
As they passed each island, Jiao Jue instructed Ji Rong to point out the location of the sword energy; then, he and Yin Pan worked together to dissolve the sword intent that had existed for countless years.
After visiting all four mines, Wuqi said with a smile, "Two Divine Lords, from now on, anyone who commits a crime in the Canglan Mountains can be sent here to mine."
After visiting all one hundred islands, Shan Shui looked at the silver plate and said, "Silver Plate, present the Landscape Map, and I will help you incorporate the Witchcraft Tribe."
Silver Plate asked worriedly, "If the Witchcraft Clan is incorporated, what will happen to your health?"
Shan Shui smiled gently and said, "It's alright. With my young friend Ji Rong's help, my life is not in danger."
In six days, it will be the Canglan Divine Banquet. My current appearance doesn't seem like it's about to end; I must put their minds at ease.
"Understood." The silver plate immediately opened its mouth wide and presented a landscape painting.
He immersed himself in the painting, imprinting the hundred islands into it, and also infusing it with the underground spiritual veins.
The surrounding mountains and waters emanated wisps of warm, yellow light, seeping into the painting.
The newly painted island, bathed in the warm yellow light, seemed to come alive, brimming with life.
After the silver plate was finished being branded, Shan Shui looked at Ji Rong and said, "Young friend Ji Rong, please repair the spiritual veins of the remaining two islands."
Ji Rong nodded. Without the obstruction of the sword intent, the spiritual vein would be much easier to connect. Ji Rong worked day and night for three days to repair the two gaps.
Every time Ji Rong repaired a place, the mountains and rivers would push the spiritual flow once, and a layer of his body would weather away.
After the four mineral veins were connected, the mountain and water were just a skeleton with a foreskin. He asked Ji Rong, "Young friend, do you need to absorb some more source water?"
Ji Rong nodded happily.
Afterwards, they arrived at Xifeng Island, where Ji Rong carried the mountain and water to visit old friends.
After walking for a short while, Yin Lian jumped out and blocked the way, saying, "Lord Aogu, the portraits of the sculptors for you gentlemen are finished by me and Yin Za."
He cheerfully led the group of Jiao Jue into the forest, where the silver-clad figure brought out three enormous statues of deities.
One was a silver plate, the largest one was a horned jade, and the other was a landscape painting, but instead of riding a tiger, it was riding a bird with the same face as Ji Rong.
Upon seeing this, Shan Shui said, "I need not stay any longer."
"Yinza, change it. Create a new statue of a colorful bird perched on a tree for our young friend Ji Rong." Yin Lian and Yinza nodded and carried the statue away to be changed.

Xiao Niu moved into the cave that Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang had dug. Now he plows the land quickly and spends most of his time cultivating in the cave, without going out.
When the calf saw Ji Rong carrying the Mountain and Water God, its eyes widened in surprise. Then, imitating the ritual of the Wu tribe, it knelt down on its two front hooves, kneeling three times before wagging its tail at Ji Rong.
This shaking made Ji Rong and Shan Shui both laugh.
Seeing that the ox had already reached the Illusionary Realm, Ji Rong said, "Little ox, now that you have officially embarked on the path of cultivation, I will give you a name."
She quickly came up with a name for the ox, "Niu Fen," and said to Niu Fen seriously, "You must cultivate diligently as your name suggests. If you encounter any bottlenecks, seek out the sorcerer."
Then, Ji Rong went to see Amu. Looking at Amu who was processing medicinal herbs, she said, "Amu, I have to break my promise and can't keep you by my side to teach you; but, how about I find you another teacher?"
Amyu nodded readily.
So Ji Rong led Amu to the silver plate, and she spread her wings and said, "Lord Aogu, this is Amu, the daughter of the witch."
Although she was of average talent, she understood the principles of things and was agile.
I had promised her I would guide her in her cultivation; but this matter concerning the Mountain and Water God is of great importance, and I don't have time to personally teach her. Could you take her with you and teach her on my behalf?"
Yinpan thought to himself that the Canglan Temple was empty, and having another weak witch living there would be like having another insect in his body; Yinpan immediately agreed to the matter.
Seeing that they both agreed, Ji Rong then bid farewell to Wu Yue and Xuan Wu with A Miao.
On the way to the Canglan Temple, she handed a small, simple storage ring filled to the brim to Amu and said, “I have made a note in the jade token I gave you. If you have any questions, you should ask Lord Aogu. You must also cultivate diligently and not slack off.”
Furthermore, one must not become arrogant and forget one's own cultivation level simply because one is by the side of a deity and receives a few flattering words.
The territory of the Wild Sea Witch Tribe has been taken over, and this matter is settled.
Back at the Canglan Temple, Shanshui still had Yinpan prepare a generous gift for Di Rong. He personally wrote a jade tablet explaining the situation and instructed Shanzuo and Shanyou to deliver it to the War God Temple.
Emperor Rong sat high on his divine throne, glanced at the invitation, and then at the list of gifts. He sneered, "They're about to collapse and they're still collecting land. Your divine lords will die because of this."
Go back and tell Him to die in peace. I will report to Guangyang Palace and we will no longer wage war against those bastards from the Witchcraft Tribe.”
Then, He summoned Youhu Qing and instructed him to cut off the spirit crystal mine that the Witch Clan had offered, so that he would no longer need to collect it.
Youhu Qing respectfully agreed, but his heart was in turmoil. After leaving the Temple of the God of War, he went to Yaochi.
He gave some treasures to the celestial maiden guarding the gate, and then headed towards the rare bird forest of Yaochi.
Before long, a woman wrapped up tightly flew down from the tree and transformed into a large black bird, saying, "Brother Fox, what brings you here today?"
Youhu Qing looked at her and said, "Xi Tong, the mine is gone."
"Gone?" Xi Tong's voice was low, tinged with heartache. She composed herself and asked again, "Brother Fox, do you know where he is?"
"I only know the general area."
"Okay, give it to me."
"good."
Eleven days later, when the witch was on patrol, she encountered a wet bird covered in wounds.
The bird was incredibly strong. As soon as it saw her, it clung tightly to her arm and wouldn't let go, its eyes filled with fear of its surroundings.
Wherever the witch went, the bird followed. The witch couldn't defeat the bird, but she couldn't get rid of it, so she took the bird to Niu Fen and had him watch over it.
When Niu Fen saw the new crow, he felt that a cultivator had finally come to take over his job of cultivating the land. That very day, he used his horn to hold a lock plate on the crow's head.
The crow was furious!
She had intended to swat the audacious calf to death with a wing, but considering her own plan, she let the calf hang the lock on her body.
