Chapter 305 Communication (1)
Ji Rong drove the Great Witch to take the huge storage ring and fill the vat containing the source sediment into it.
Then, she calmed her mind, transformed into a tree trunk, and once again commanded the Great Shaman to pick up the scattered fragments of the ring from the ground.
This time, things went surprisingly smoothly.
Ji Rong sighed inwardly, realizing that it wasn't that her divine soul power was insufficient, but rather that the inscriptions on the Great Shaman's body were not drawn correctly, making it difficult to wield.
She thought smugly to herself, "It's fortunate that it's me, with my vast knowledge, strong spirit, and ability to communicate with all things, who's using these great witch bodies."
If some talented disciple of the Witchcraft Clan were to rashly use it, then the Great Witch's body would truly only be a one-time explosive weapon.
After adding the source sediment, Ji Rong instructed the Great Shaman to pick up the storage ring from the ground, place it under the tree trunk, and then let the Great Shaman's body return to the coffin to continue lying there.
Exhausted, Ji Rongmei took a nap by the tree. After a good rest, she took out her storage ring, searched through it, and had a good meal.
Then, Ji Rong took a deep breath, flapped her wings, raised her neck, and repeatedly shouted loudly, "Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one become Lord Ji!"
Once she had stirred her heart and filled herself with fighting spirit, Ji Rong tucked her fluttering wings back onto her back.
She calmed her mind and used her will to guide the High Priestess's hands to sprinkle the storage ring.
This time, it went very smoothly. Although Ji Rong still dreamed of the Great Witch Gui while she was exhausted and asleep, Ji Rong only jumped around in the dream looking at the fragments of the Great Witch Gui's life story, and there was no more of that absurd thing as forcibly learning.
Of these bodies, apart from the Great Witch Pang, Great Witch Qi, and Great Witch Tuo, whose bodies were relatively damaged inside and out and whose mobility was somewhat insufficient, the others were in relatively good condition.
Ji Rong consumed only two spirit treasures from the storage ring and three whole vats of source sediment, then fell into a daze fifteen times and had twelve dreams before trying out the remaining eight great witches.
In these twelve dreams, the Great Witch Lang liked to treat patients while simultaneously poisoning them;
The great shaman Fu held Ji Rong's wings and claws by hand and made a living puppet;
The great witch Cui taught Ji Rong a password, which Ji Rong excitedly memorized in her dream. However, upon waking, she discovered that the password had no meaning.
In his dream, Da Wuhe took out a pill furnace and demonstrated to Ji Rong how to refine air.
These dreams, a mix of reality and illusion, are truly bizarre and fantastical.
The great shamans Pang, Qi, and Tuo perhaps died tragically, and were truly unwilling in life.
Ji Rong not only failed to learn anything from these three great shamans in a conventional way, but also had nightmares whenever she entered their fragmented memories, which was quite absurd.
In her dream, the powerful sorcerer Tuo Hui, skilled in killing, wielded a broken greatsword and chased her across the ground like she was slaying an enemy. Ji Rong was so relentlessly pursued that her feet never touched the ground in the dream, until she finally escaped by flying across the thousands of mountains and rivers without her feet touching the ground.
The powerful shaman, Qi, who was skilled in array formations, would always smile at Ji Rong while simultaneously forming hand seals to immobilize her.
Ji Rong finally found the weak point of the confinement array and tore the dream apart, only to immediately fall into the next dream.
It's truly a dream that begins and ends in an instant.
In dreams, one is unaware of the passage of time.
My dreams are endless, and I find no peace year after year.
The dream only truly ended when Ji Rong was starving and could no longer bear it. She opened her beak, bared her fangs, and recklessly tore the smiling shaman into bloody strips. Only then was the dream truly broken, and Ji Rong was finally freed.
As for the great shaman in the dream, he was depicted as a pitiful figure, unable to speak, blind, and with broken legs.
Once inside the dream, he used his flood technique to force Ji Rong to master water magic, forcing Ji Rong to transform into a tree body to barely escape the water-filled dream.
Using the tree trunk and her divine soul power, Ji Rong covered and commanded the nine great sorcerer bodies one by one, then placed them back into the coffins.
Then, propping herself up with her numb body, she called out triumphantly to the outside, "Big brother, big brother, come in quickly!"
Upon hearing the commotion inside, Jiao Jue immediately activated the magic array and restrictions layer by layer.
Sunlight streamed back into the hall, making the crown on Ji Rong's face appear exceptionally white. He looked at Ji Rong's dull feathers and exclaimed in surprise, "It's only been a few years, how did you become like this?"
Ji Rong slightly spread her wings, raised her head, moved her stiff claws, and laughed confidently, "Big brother, how can it be a few years? It's clearly only been half a year."
"Haga! Big brother, look! From now on, they'll be my subordinates, Lord Ji!"
Then Ji Rong had a thought, stretched out her wings and beckoned upwards, and the nine great shamans sat up in a row from the coffins;
Ji Rong lowered her wings, and the nine great witch bodies lay back in their original positions.
Jiaojue nodded to Ji Rong, narrowed his eyes, and said to the pale-faced Ji Rong without changing his expression, "Now that you have succeeded, you may take back the tree trunk."
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong nodded repeatedly. She flapped her wings and, with unsteady steps, retracted the tree trunk, then felt extremely dizzy.
Feeling dizzy and lightheaded, she could only open her eyes a crack after a short while. She said, "So sleepy," and stretched her neck and buried her head under Jiaojue's round belly, falling asleep comfortably.
Jiao Jue stared dumbfounded at the sleeping bird, then, after a moment's thought, lifted the slightly lighter Ji Rong down.
Below the Shoudao Palace, Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang were already waiting expectantly. Jiao Jue placed Ji Rong on Gu Qingqing's back, and then took out a jade pot and gave it to Ji Zhuang, saying, "Feed her a little every day."
He then summoned the blue silk and hung it around Gu Qingqing's neck, saying, "I'm going to ask Senior Qingpingzi for guidance."
"If this silly bird wakes up, have her drag this blue silk ribbon to find me."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhuang and Gu Qingqing quickly squinted and nodded heavily.
It wasn't that Jiao Jue didn't wait for Ji Rong to wake up, but rather that Ji Rong had spent a considerable amount of time practicing this "corpse technique," nearly five years in total.
In normal times, Ji Rong could train the Horned Jade for a hundred years without being in a hurry, after all, he was a true dragon, a god, and had plenty of time.
However, now that the Immortal Path has been newly established, countless cultivators have been drawn to it.
Not to mention that within the Jade Void Palace, those who are close to the water get the moon first, and of Ji Rong's thirty-seven surviving senior brothers and sisters, five have already attained immortality. Even in the Danxue Mountains, a new fox cultivator has emerged, attaining the Dao of Love and Destiny among all living beings, and is now known as the Amorous Immortal Lord.
The Ice River Lord of the Northern Ice River Cave, Leng Hezhong, and his successor, Leng Hexia, only visited Qingpingzi once before attaining the Dao of Extreme Cold. They are now known as the Great Cold Immortal Lord and the Lesser Cold Immortal Lord, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Great Sage of Blazing Flame from the Blessed Land of Miraculous Flames also attained the Dao of Fire. Having just attained the Dao of Fire, he hovered high in the sky, like a small sun.
Unfortunately, before the Great Sage of Blazing Flames could even acquire a new title, his true form was ignited by the passing Lord Xi, who extracted his still-beating and vibrant heart. Now, that heart has become Lord Xi's collection, used for his research into the newly developed immortal path.
