Chapter 234 Reasons
Upon seeing Ji Rong and Qing Baizi's menacing appearance, the chicks immediately scattered and flew away.
Ji Zhuang stood up and sighed, "Jue Jun said to be kind, and these birds are birds we adopted."
"Little sister, what brings you here so suddenly today?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately became solemn and said, "Please ask Attendant Ji to announce that Qing Baizi and Qing Jizi of Yuxu Palace have come to pay their respects to Lord Jue on the orders of their senior brother, Qing Pingzi, the Palace Master."
As they spoke, Qing Baizi handed a full string of storage rings to Ji Zhuang's hand, saying in the same way, "Please ask the divine attendant to convey my message."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhuang paused for a moment, then immediately held the storage ring in his hands. He bowed to Ji Rong and Qing Baizi, then squinted and strode into the hall.
Before long, Gu Qingqing came out to greet them, saying, "Gentlemen, Lord Jue invites you."
Ji Rong and Qing Baizi arrived at the hall and performed their greetings. Then, Gu Qingqing invited Qing Baizi to the back to watch the bird tribe's song and dance, saying that it was so that Ji Rong and her brother could have a proper private conversation.
Qing Baizi didn't think much of it; he followed Gu Qingqing to the back to watch the bird tribe's song and dance performance.
But the song and dance were really not worth watching. I don't know who taught them, but the hundreds of chubby little birds sang in unison and danced crookedly. As Qing Baizi watched, he began to doze off.
Inside the hall, Ji Zhuang stood at the foot of the horn jade pendant, while Ji Rong flew low around the pillars of the hall with delight. Then the three of them looked at each other and remained silent for a moment.
The horned bird moved its claws together, forming a soundproof array. It looked at the roof for a while, and seeing that Ji Rong had no intention of speaking, it said, "Dead bird, I heard that you have been doing very well lately, with both status and wealth."
Upon hearing this familiar opening, Ji Rong immediately stretched out her neck, then stuck her wings onto the bird's body and exclaimed, "How do you know?"
Jiao Jue pointed to the pile of storage rings and said, "You've brought so much treasure to the Dragon and Phoenix Palace to reward the main god. For the sake of this treasure, tell me, what important matter brings you here this time?"
Ji Rong poked at the light emanating from the soundproof array with his wing claws. Seeing that his claws couldn't penetrate it, he grinned, revealing his two rows of interlocking fangs, and said to Jiao Jue, "Big brother, I'm not doing too well. I want to take down a few gods. Do you want to come with me?"
Jiao Jue looked at Ji Rong, narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "What's the reason? You and I are living well now, and we have status and position. If you want me to do this kind of thing with you, you have to give me a good reason."
"Haha, big brother, don't take it seriously!" Ji Rong exclaimed, beak open. "I was just saying."
“A reason!” Jiao Jue said.
Seeing that Jiao Jue was serious, Ji Rong replied, "Yu Xu Palace has deduced that there are three realms under divine authority, which matches the world in my dream. I would like to see it."
I think theocracy is too outrageous. As long as it exists, we cultivators will never be free. Brother, you have already attained enlightenment, we are different now.
Brother, I don't want to be a dish, and I don't want any of the cultivators around me to have to draw lots to become dishes just because of the banquet.
I don't want to see talented people like my Aunt Huang or the Demon King of Pingbo die young again.
My reasoning is so absurd, isn't it?
“I understand. These reasons are all valid. What Jade Void Palace is doing is indeed a way out. Ji Rong, how do you want me to help you?”
Ji Rong was deeply moved when she heard that Jiao Jue had agreed so readily. She spread her wings, then sat down on the ground and said, "Brother, I heard them say in the Delights Pavilion in Yaochi that the Golden Cauldron Goddess has spoken again."
My cheap senior brother was very nervous when he found out. He asked me for the method to perfect the Hundred Skills Seal and improve my strength, but I didn't agree.
My senior brother and I share the same ambition, therefore, I intend to move the remains of the ancient shaman to the Jade Void Palace.
But brother, you know that with my current cultivation level, I can't control it. Brother, do you have a way to help me cultivate to the Emperor realm?
Jiao Jue circled around Ji Rong and said, "You have only just advanced to the King realm. Your understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth is insufficient, and you are not yet qualified to advance to the Emperor realm."
However, your cultivation process is inherently different from that of ordinary spirits. If you wish to cultivate to the level of an Emperor, you might be able to achieve it by jumping into the Source Stream.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong, thinking about recent events, couldn't help but feel discouraged and said, "Everything has been going wrong lately. I originally thought that once I entered the Jade Pool, I could go sightseeing at the Immortal Spring."
To my surprise, after my uncle Shanwu and I painstakingly slaughtered the head steward of the unloading workshop, we discovered that the immortal spring wasn't even in the Jade Pool Delicacies Room.
The head of the Delights Room, the female cultivator Blood Phoenix Wine, was old and her mind was failing; she was quite strange.
"And because of my status, I can't go to the outer courtyard, so all this work has been for nothing."
Jiao Jue narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "How can you say it was all for nothing? You've come out again, haven't you? Judging from what you're saying, if you don't kill the person in charge of the unloading workshop, how will you get up there?"
You don't need to think about becoming an emperor for now, but you can take some top-quality magical artifacts and go retrieve the remains of the ancient witch.
I wish to quell the raging gales above the desolate sea, which may deplete the spiritual veins on the other side. Therefore, it is not appropriate to leave those remains on Tuifeng Island. If you could move them to Zhongzhou and properly settle them, that would be best.
When Yinpan brought Tunwu to visit me last time, she said that there was a black bird that had cultivated to the Emperor Realm and refused to leave Xifeng Island, and Niu Fen had been leading her to plow the fields.
Since you're going to retrieve the item, why not also investigate the black bird's background?
Ji Rong nodded and said, "I understand."
"Brother, I've been feeling uneasy lately, afraid that Jade Void Palace is nothing but a fleeting illusion. Moreover, I have a feeling that some cultivators want to harm me."
Jiao Jue looked at Ji Rong and said, "This is one of the obstacles that prevents you from becoming emperor. To become emperor, you need to have the courage to forge ahead and the strength to firmly believe in yourself. You already have so much, why do you doubt yourself?"
Ji Rong said with distress, "I have always thought too much, and my thoughts are all jumbled up."
“But you’re also smart,” Jiao Jue continued, “I’ve noticed you’ve become increasingly clever over the years.”
You are different from other living beings. Although you have ordinary blood, you are intelligent and should use your wisdom to enter the Tao.
But your path to enlightenment is not simply one of wisdom; it already clashes with the authority of many major gods.
"If you want to destroy divine authority, I support you. After all, you're not trying to destroy the celestial phenomena, so it's none of my business. Even if you completely shatter divine authority, I can rely on my own cultivation to remain unscathed."
Ji Rong asked blankly, "Then what should I do?"
Jiao Jue lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes and said, "Do what you did in the past, and do it now. Perhaps you are a coincidence, but the ancestral tree in your body is definitely not a coincidence."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong lay down on the ground, spread her wings to the side, and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. When will this ever end?"
"The Great Way has no end; all paths that have an end are dead ends."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong suddenly understood.
Those who are virtuous will receive much help. One should make many capable friends, because only when a large group of capable and aspiring cultivators gather together can they create infinite possibilities.
