Chapter 291 Becoming Emperor (3)
"This won't do!" Qingpingzi exclaimed in his heart as he saw Ji Rong flying away surrounded by a flock of birds. "This is not a celebration by thousands of birds at all. This is clearly the new emperor soaring through the heavens, and he is being escorted by a group of ordinary birds. This is not good!"
Now that she's in the air, a rare and precious treasure soaring through the sky, what if those wicked old fogies capture and devour her?
As Qingpingzi thought this, he disregarded the thick layer of bird droppings clinging to the cliff. A scene flashed through his mind of his junior brother, whose ranking he could no longer recall, when he was trying to advance to the Emperor Realm, only to be surrounded by other cultivators, causing his attempt to fail, and finally being swallowed whole by a white dragon that was secretly watching him.
The image of his junior brother's bloody brains bursting and oozing from Bai Long's foul-smelling mouth resurfaced in Qingpingzi's mind.
A cultivator who roams freely across the heavens and earth, as if witnessing the very existence of heaven and earth! Such a cultivator is one in ten thousand.
If successful, one can be called a half-saint, and the path to sainthood is within reach, with the Great Dao within sight;
If it fails, it can become a great medicine, serving as the foundation and pillar for his path to sainthood.
Qingpingzi immediately roared to the sky, "Where is Qingguangzi! Beat the drum and call on everyone who can walk to come quickly!"
Then, Qingpingzi drew his whisk, propelled the lotus seat away, and hurriedly chased after Ji Rong.
As Ji Rong flew away from the cloud cliff, the flock of birds guarding her grew larger and larger. The birds flew in all directions towards her, and countless cultivators rushed over. Even the sun high in the sky turned its head and looked at the bird cultivators who could cause such a celestial phenomenon. It said, "Ya Nu, go and see if Si Nu has any authority to escape?"
Bathed in golden light, the elegant woman bowed deeply, cupped her claws, and then transformed into a phoenix, flying towards the Fulu Mountain Range.
Qingpingzi followed closely behind Ji Rong, flying with her over the Yuxu Mountains and across the desolate Lianyun Mountains. He had already transformed into a huge Dharma body, with various magical treasures coiled around his five tails.
He shouted at the cultivators who had followed him with unclear intentions, "The cultivators of Jade Void Palace soar through the heavens. If you don't want to die, get out of my way!" Behind him were the Jade Void Palace cultivators who had rushed over after hearing about the strange occurrence.
They were menacing, each wielding a different kind of magical weapon, and trailed after Ji Rong like a tail.
Yet there were still outside cultivators who called out, "We've come to congratulate Jade Void Palace," and followed closely behind. They had different thoughts, but all of them hoped that this lucky bird would soar into the sky and disintegrate, so that they could get a share of this once-in-a-millennium gift from heaven.
Ji Rong, carried by a flock of ordinary birds and protected by the cultivators of Jade Void Palace, followed by the drooling of outside cultivators, crossed the Central Continent and arrived in the frigid skies of the Frontier Continent.
The icy air cut like a knife, leaving red marks on her face. Her flock of birds, unable to withstand the cold, fell to the ground one after another.
Suddenly, birds rained down on the land of Saizhou, and countless beasts looked up at the sky, joyfully accepting the gift from heaven.
Ji Rong slowed down, and the bird cultivators of Yuxu Palace seized the opportunity to quickly approach the flock and squeeze in. For a moment, the scene began to become somewhat chaotic.
Then a cultivator who wanted to take Ji Rong as his flesh took advantage of his position and directly used his magic weapon to smash it into Ji Rong's head.
She was the second disciple of the Great Sage Liaoran, the master of the Ancient Water Cave in Beiju Saizhou. She looked at Ji Rong, who was being carried by a mortal bird, as if she were looking at a giant elixir in motion, her chance to become a saint!
"You wicked disciple, if you want to die, then die! How dare you bring trouble upon this old woman!" Just as the magic weapon flew out, the Great Sage Liaoran flew over and slapped the Wind-Blowing Demon Emperor across the face!
"You wretched creature!" Qingpingzi called out anxiously from behind! His lotus seat had already been covered with speed-enhancing talismans by his junior sister, the Iron-Toothed Rabbit, Qingxingzi, who had caught up, but it was still not fast enough!
He could only try to avoid being left behind by the flock of birds that could transform into Kunpeng and travel nearly a thousand miles in a single breath.
However, at that moment, Qing Yangzi behind him moved. With a dark expression, he crushed a crystal. The magic weapon that was heading towards Ji Rong suddenly stopped, decomposed on its own, and turned into dust!
"There was a hidden door!" Seeing his second disciple's magic weapon shatter, the Great Sage Liaoran's face fell, and he roared at Qingyangzi, "Qingyangzi, you are shameless! You took so much of my treasure, yet you still left a hidden door!"
Qing Yangzi sneered, "You old thief, this is the price you pay for daring to target the cultivators of my Jade Void Palace!"
The bird cultivators from Jade Void Palace crowded around Ji Rong, surrounding her and taking turns stuffing the precious spiritual treasures and pills from their storage rings into her mouth, ensuring she had a continuous supply of spiritual energy to sustain her journey.
As they flew over Saizhou, the ice and snow gradually melted, and Ji Rong began to regain feeling on her face. She retracted the roots into her body and cried out, "Everyone, stop stuffing them in, I can't eat anymore."
As they flew over the continent, Ji Rong felt her wings begin to gain strength!
As Ji Rong flew over Chi and Cang provinces, she felt that her neck could stretch freely!
The proud and noble goddess was already waiting in the air. She commanded her birds to join the group accompanying Ji Rong on her journey, and picked up the tired birds that had fallen one by one, sending them to the Canglan Mountains to recuperate.
Upon arriving in Danzhou, Ji Rong felt the spiritual energy within her body begin to circulate again!
On the hundreds of islands in the desolate sea, an ancient lineage of shamans is performing a sacrificial ceremony, and the totem depicts Ji Rong's past appearance.
Upon flying to Hezhou, Ji Rong felt a powerful grip on her feet!
Upon arriving in Xizhou, Ji Rong felt her back straighten up!
Upon arriving in Liangzhou, Ji Rong couldn't help but spread his wings!
As Baoshengjun approached from afar, his clay body was covered with cracks, from which strands of golden light occasionally spilled out, while even more golden light squeezed into the cracks.
He looked at Ji Rong's face carefully, and then suddenly transformed into a tall, heavy golden Dharma body.
With all six hands clasped, He bowed and clasped his hands towards Ji Rong, showering her with all his profound faith power, adding a rich golden hue to her body.
After doing all this, Baoshengjun smiled and broke into a pile of mud on the spot. A yellowish-brown mud ball, wrapped in a little golden light, landed on the mud pieces.
Seeing Baoshengjun shatter, Ji Rong let out a cry, spun around above it, and continued flying forward.
As Ji Rong spun around, a drop of golden liquid fell straight onto the yellowish-brown mud, followed by countless bird droppings that quickly covered Baoshengjun.
Ji Rong spread his wings and flew over Liangzhou to Zhongzhou, where thunderclouds were already gathering and a storm was brewing.
Chenghuang Road is here!
The numbness in Ji Rong's mouth finally subsided. She turned her head and bowed to the dusty flock of birds, saying, "You've all had a long journey. I thank you all for taking care of me! I can go on my own now."
She let the dense lightning and rain lash her body without fear or dread. She whirled her wings and soared into the sky.
Sure enough, she saw a tiny speck of five-colored light on the highest cloud. She swallowed it and let the five-colored light travel through her body, connecting the colorful feathers on her body into the meridians of Ji Rong's body.
She transformed into a colorful phoenix!
Standing high in the sky, Ji Rong admired her even more beautiful self, feeling smug. She thought confidently, "Now, even ordinary phoenixes are not as beautiful as me. Let's see who can still recognize that I was originally a colorful chicken!"
Ji Rong thought about it more and more deeply, and the more beautiful it seemed, the more she couldn't help herself. She raised her already slender neck and laughed loudly at the sun, which seemed to be not far in front of her.
"So noisy!" Xi Zhu, who was exercising his power of light in his carriage, frowned and thought.
