Chapter 251 The Golden Mother
Thirty-two days before the start of the Jade Pool Feast, the Golden Mother's twelve golden dragon and twelve golden phoenix carriages toured the northern border, Chizhou, Cangzhou, Danzhou, Hezhou, Xizhou, and Liangzhou.
He personally swung his claws and killed dozens of powerful clans, piling up the back of his chariot with their heads before driving the blood-soaked chariot toward the Chijian Mountains in the Central Plains.
His chariot stopped above the Temple of the God of War, and Di Rong emerged from within. The Queen Mother of the West looked down at him and asked, "When will you die?"
Emperor Rong, abandoning his usual coldness and cruelty, respectfully bowed to the Golden Mother and said, "Mother Goddess, Rong does not wish to die, nor will he die."
Jinmu looked at Di Rong, grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp tiger teeth, and said, "You don't intend to die, it seems you're determined to wait for the collapse."
Enough, enough. You were created by me and Wa using the remnants of Emperor Ba's body. You are the last god we created together. It's good that you have your own ideas.
"I have asked you, and this matter is now settled. From now on, you and I will have no further connection." After saying this, the Golden Mother summoned Wang Yue and piled all the bloody heads from the back of the chariot in front of the Temple of the God of War.
Then, the great chariot with twelve dragons and twelve phoenixes was lifted up by Wangyue, and the Golden Mother sat high on the chariot again. She said to Di Rong, "Eternal life is a delusion of the gods."
So many years have passed, it's time for you to wake up. Just because I didn't give you Emperor Ba's brain back then doesn't mean you can be lazy and not think things through. Your method of forcibly transferring your killing intent to other minor cultivators won't work."
After saying this, the Golden Mother brushed aside the blue phoenix that was about to pull the reins, and personally drove the chariot away.
He went to the Pool of Lu and personally tore Nanlu's divine body in half with his claws. Then He threw Nanlu and his pieces of flesh into the Pool of Lu, letting the tiny fragments of authority burrow in. In an instant, the entire Pool of Lu was filled with the sound of soft gnawing and Nanlu's increasingly weak wails.
He went to the Palace of Destiny, drove his chariot straight into the Mirror Chamber, and then personally put all the Destiny Mirrors into the Mirror Washing Pool. He then made a hand seal and stirred the Mirror Pool.
With a "splashing" sound, the life mirrors collided with each other in the mirror pool, making a crisp sound.
Si Yuan, with a ceramic cat perched on her shoulder, stood quietly to the side like a ceramic puppet, letting this ancient deity stir up the Mirror-Washing Pool until it became murky and turbid.
He looked at Si Yuan with a sarcastic expression and said, "This world is truly becoming more and more corrupt. It's one thing that the good-for-nothing from the Fu Lu Palace can become the chief god, but at least he is a god."
"I never imagined that even a flawed being like you could become a supreme god. Are you truly gods, or merely dogs of the Guangyang Palace?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yuan bowed deeply without saying a word.
Looking at the mouthless Si Yuan, Jin Mu was displeased. She grabbed the shattered pieces of the Life Mirror one by one, threw them in front of Si Yuan, and then turned and left.
After the Golden Mother's carriage left the Heavenly Mandate Palace, Si Yuan straightened up. He stretched out one hand, and a mouth appeared in his palm. He said, "What Your Majesty says is true. Many years ago, Si Yuan thought the same thing."
He turned his head to look at the clay cat on his shoulder, and the clay cat looked back at him. They both nodded at each other at the same time, and then the clay cat's neck snapped with a "crack".
A ball of white light, like a general on the eve of liberation, leaped continuously at the shattered life mirror piled up in front of Si Yuan. Then, strands of light surrounded the ball of white light and together they entered the clay cat's body.
Seeing that no more light was emitted, Si Yuan picked up the clay cat's head and put it away; then he flew towards the Palace of Fortune and Prosperity.
The Golden Mother Goddess had already gone far away. She came to the Moon Shadow Palace and, at dusk, faced the Yuanjun from afar, exchanging a farewell bow.
He went to Guangyang Palace, where Xizhu sat high on his divine throne, looking at the Golden Mother standing in the air, her brocade robes fluttering, and said: "Why don't you stay in Jinding Palace to rest properly, but instead wander around causing trouble and vandalism?"
The Golden Mother looked at the Lord of the Rising Sun, grinned, and said, "You've blocked up the source of my immortal spring, what am I supposed to raise now?"
Xi Zhu looked directly at Jin Mu and calmly asked, "What do you wish to do?"
With a single claw, the Golden Mother pulled out a Myriad Things Seal from her brocade robe, which was engraved with the names of all beasts and things. She said, "Give me the Source Stream and reopen a fist-sized opening at the Immortal Spring. Then I will never come out again."
Xi Zhu said, "Yes, but what can you give me?"
The Golden Mother grinned, revealing her sharp teeth, and said, "As you wish, after the Yaochi Banquet, I will erase your and Yuanjun's primordial energy from this divine seal."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Sun was overjoyed. He respectfully bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Thank you!"
After the Golden Mother left, Ya Nu and Juan Gui descended in a spiral, personally sweeping away the skin flakes that had fallen from the ancient deity and were floating in the air.
Then, the Golden Mother's carriage stopped at the Golden Cauldron Palace on the top of Jade Void Peak. She dismounted and came to the octagonal palace gate. With a wave of her claw, the octagonal palace gate opened, and the jade statue of Lingxiaozi, which was covered with treasures, jingled as the breeze blew.
Qingpingzi led Ji Rong down the cloud cliff and bowed deeply before the ancient deity. The Golden Mother looked at Qingpingzi and asked, "Are you Xiao Lingxiao's mount? And who is this little colorful chicken?"
Qingpingzi replied, "Your Majesty's charm remains unchanged. Back then, it was this old Taoist priest who carried my master around."
Jin's mother sighed sadly, "We're all getting old, it's time for us to die."
His sorrow seemed to move all things. Ji Rong didn't want to cry, but her tears fell like raindrops, and soon her eyes were red from crying.
Fortunately, the Golden Mother Goddess did not stay long before leaving.
He ascended the Danxue Mountains and stood before the still magnificent palace, looking at the chicks scattered on the ground. A slight smile appeared on his face. Jiaojue had already opened the palace doors and stood before them, bowing deeply to Him.
The Golden Mother did not say a word to him, but only glanced at the horn-shaped jade before leaving.
Finally, He arrived at the Ancient Witch's Upper Realm. He looked down upon the verdant, poisonous land beneath His chariot, where no trace of the ancient great witches' lives could be found. He wanted to sigh, but was drawn to a huge stone slab in the distance. He drove his chariot over and saw that the smooth, flat stone slab was inscribed with three languages: "Great Witch Qi".
Seeing this, He was deeply moved and smiled with satisfaction. The imprint of all things flew out from between His eyebrows, and the insects, fish, beasts, flowers, and trees on the imprint became vivid, just like real things.
Insects, fish, and beasts all opened their mouths, and flowers, grasses, and trees sprouted roots, from which wisps of air, like silk threads, hung down from the seal.
Then, in the Mangshen Mountains, centered on the pile of rubble of the Great Witch Qi, flowers and trees grew wildly, and the aquatic plants in the river grew branches and leaves like trees. They absorbed the remaining toxins in the soil, air and water in an orderly manner. Old branches withered quickly, and new buds sprouted from the roots, in an endless cycle.
As these branches grew and withered, the mother goddess seemed to lose her vitality, and wrinkles appeared on her smooth face.
The Azure Phoenix, lying to the side, stretched out its wings and claws, intending to interrupt the Golden Mother Goddess, but was blocked by Wang Yue with its tail. Wang Yue turned its head to look at the Azure Phoenix and slowly shook its head.
The Golden Mother turned her head to look at the Azure Phoenix, her gaze softening. She placed her two paws on the heads of the Azure Phoenix and the Moon respectively. The two divine beasts sat high on the chariot, quietly watching the withering and flourishing of the plants below.
Afterwards, the Golden Mother returned to Kunlun Mountain. She summoned her old followers and spent her days singing and dancing in the Jade Pool, and her nights sleeping in the newly opened spring.
The Golden Cauldron Palace presents an image of extravagant luxury, seemingly built high in the sky.
Apart from Qingluan and Wangyue, the other cultivators did not notice anything unusual, because the Empress had often held banquets and made merry over the years, and now it was just that there were more banquets and they lasted longer.
As a result, the pockets of all the cultivators in the Golden Cauldron Palace were bulging, and they only wished that the Golden Mother Goddess would be like this every day.
They all cried out in their hearts, "May the Empress live as long as Heaven and Earth, and grant us a lifetime of wealth and honor."
The Golden Mother Goddess was hosting a private banquet, and Qingpingzi had received an invitation. However, he politely declined the invitation from the bird attendant who delivered the message, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. My master's memorial day is approaching, and it is inconvenient for me to go out and play. After we have finished paying our respects to my master, we will definitely go to the Jade Pool to enjoy ourselves with Your Majesty."
