Chapter 290 Becoming Emperor (2)
Qingpingzi lowered his eyes and stared at Ji Rong, whose body was charred black, and immediately made a decision: for a serious illness, strong medicine should be used!
Qingpingzi thought to himself, "Right now, this bird junior sister has even burned off her beak, so she probably can't eat anything."
Even if she could eat it, her intestines were already ruptured, and what was flowing out was burned away along with the source, so it would be useless even if she ate it.
After a moment's thought, Qingpingzi decided to use the soaking method to nourish Ji Rong's body.
He immediately opened the lotus seat and brought out a large vat.
He sighed, “Kiyohime, you really have a dream! You dreamed that your master told you to eat more good food. Well then, let me, your senior brother, make you a soup on your behalf.”
I had kept this little bit of the recipe, intending to use it to teach you how to make the Glowing Clouds Wine, but now it seems that's not feasible. I'll feed you all of this today. Sleep peacefully, and quickly become emperor!
Qingpingzi opened the lid of the large vat, revealing a thin layer of old-day glow liquid at the bottom, radiating a beautiful luster.
Qingpingzi poured out many pills from his storage ring. Each of these pills was full of natural patterns, as if they were carved. He crushed each of the pills with his claws and stirred them into the Radiant Liquid. He then poured in the small pot of Source Flow that had not been used before and stirred it again.
He carefully and evenly coated the charred strips of charcoal with the liquid before gently closing the lid of the jar.
His expression was solemn, as if he were brewing a vat of fine wine. He stood guard to the side, waiting for Ji Rong to come out.
As the elixir, imbued with the glow of bygone days, seeped into Ji Rong's body, her thoughts became even more scattered. Each thought roamed its own dreams, racing and reveling within her body, each following its own logic as it used the meridians it had seized to repair various parts of her body.
Before long, these thoughts, as if exhausted after a party, returned to the space between his eyebrows, and together with his half-broken body, fell into a deep sleep.
Ji Rong slept for a full fifteen days before waking up. Before she even opened her eyes, she felt the powerful blood energy within her body, which she had not yet advanced in, and she was very proud of herself. She thought to herself, "As expected of me, I am unique!"
"I can actually get a good night's sleep on the way to the capital; even if I told anyone, no one would believe it!"
Feeling smug, she wanted to laugh, and as soon as she raised her neck, the thick residue that clung to her neck like dirt fell off inch by inch.
Ji Rong was stunned when she saw the charred pieces, then she immediately raised her wings, put her hands on her hips, and roared, "Senior brother, how could you be so despicable as to throw me into this mud jar while I, Emperor Cheng, was asleep? Are you jealous of my unique advantages?"
Ji Rong opened the lid and looked around. She saw that her body had become much smaller, and all her originally beautiful feathers were gone, leaving only a few stubble feathers on her skin, making her look like a newborn bird.
Although it has become bald and smaller, it has also become stronger!
Thinking of this, Ji Rong couldn't help but tilt her head back and burst into laughter.
Then, she looked inward at her spiritual platform and saw that the space of the spiritual platform had increased dozens of times. There was a yellowish-brown transparent sphere above the spiritual lake, and the tree trunk seemed to be sealed inside this yellowish-brown transparent sphere.
The source of energy in the spirit lake turned pale gold, while the power in his physical body increased hundreds of times.
With a thought, she felt the transparent sphere fly from the spirit lake and into her mouth.
Qingpingzi, who was sleeping nearby, was awakened by Ji Rong. He immediately sat up and sternly shouted at Ji Rong, "Junior sister, do not be distracted, do not be complacent. Quickly guard your mind. Your opportunity to transform into an emperor has come. This is your last chance."
No sooner had Qingpingzi finished speaking than clouds and mist suddenly gathered in the sky again.
One after another, bolts of lightning struck Ji Rong, turning her into a charred bird. Her beak was crooked, her whole body was numb and painful, and she was unable to move.
A pale golden, transparent sphere rolled out of her mouth. Ji Rong glanced at the detached spirit platform and saw countless tiny roots sprouting from the sphere, tightly wrapping around her claws.
The sky was filled with swirling clouds, and a huge flock of birds flew in like dark clouds pressing down on the sky, accompanied by a strong wind. It was a nest made up of countless ordinary birds. They flew towards the cloud cliff. Although they were blocked outside by the formation, they kept crashing into it without any regard for life or death.
Upon seeing this scene, Qingpingzi couldn't help but sigh, "Junior Sister is indeed a great talent. As expected of a cultivator from my Jade Void Palace, even at the Emperor Realm, she can attract extraordinary phenomena from the heavens and summon birds to come and offer their congratulations. However, they are all just ordinary birds!"
Seeing that it was just an ordinary bird coming to offer its congratulations, Qingpingzi was slightly disappointed, but its claws did not stop until all the layers of magic arrays on the cloud cliff were removed.
As soon as the magic array was removed, the birds surrounded Ji Rong and sang joyfully.
They each ate a bit of the burnt bits from Ji Rong's body, then plucked their brightest feathers and stuck them into Ji Rong's body, which was lying on the clouds, numb and in pain from being struck by lightning.
The feather, once inserted into her body, felt as if it were connected to her flesh, causing a stinging, itchy, numb, and painful sensation. Ji Rong was powerless and could only scream in her heart.
In no time, Ji Rong, who had been burned to half its original size, was transformed into a dazzling bird with a body nearly three zhang long, including its tail feathers.
The thunder continued to fall, the rain washed away the grime from Ji Rong's body, and the wind blew away the loose fur on her skin.
After a moment of wind and rain, the sun pierced through the clouds, and the birds, taking advantage of the warm light, quickly lifted Ji Rong up.
Ji Rong was arched up by them, looking up at the sky. At this moment, her neck bones stretched and shifted, and her muscles and skin also changed along with her bones.
Her wings were also stretched out, becoming longer and wider, while her wing claws became more dexterous and slender.
Pads of flesh grew on her claws, and her claws grew longer and sharper, like eagle hooks.
As her body shifted, and every bit of her skin was exposed, oozing blood and shedding flakes of skin, birds would excitedly gather around and carefully collect the blood and dandruff bestowed upon her by the new emperor at the wound.
They swallowed it, and in doing so, they shed their mortal form and became cultivators.
They gained intelligence, they became spiritually aware, they sang joyfully, and then plucked a feather from their own bodies to patch up Ji Rong's appearance.
Amidst the constant wind, rain, and thunder, these birds, carried by the wind, soared through the sky, carrying Ji Rong with them.
The air was filled with spiritual energy, and thick roots sprouted from the transparent sphere.
These roots grew as they faced the wind, swaying behind Ji Rong like a long brown tail.
The birds carried Ji Rong, placing her head at the very front, and they gradually flew higher and higher, faster and faster!
Other birds hurriedly flew from the Jade Void Mountains, following closely behind. They were summoned by heaven and earth to come and protect their newborn emperor.
They felt grateful for their good fortune and sang and spread their wings with the flock of birds.
When they got tired, they rested on the roots of a large tree at the feet of the new emperor, ate some scraps and dregs that had fallen from the emperor, regained some strength, and then rejoined the flock to continue flying. Soon they disappeared into the horizon.
