Chapter 335 Creating God (1)
As the moon sank into the water, Ji Rong felt her vision go completely dark, and she was once again back in that silent world shrouded in gloom.
Tears welled up in Ji Rong's eyes once again, and a sense of powerlessness spread rapidly from her feet to her whole body. Her wings drooped, and her feathers stood on end, as if she had just suffered a defeat and lost a loved one.
"Splash, splash, splash," just as Ji Rong lifted her foot to look for Yuan Jun and ask "why."
Suddenly, thousands of huge ice bubbles rose from the pool. These ice bubbles surged out in clusters, colliding and jostling with each other in the pool. Within each ice bubble was a cultivator with his eyes tightly closed.
Their expressions varied; some cultivators were baring their teeth and brandishing their claws, some were laughing and joking, and some were cursing angrily... as if they were dreaming.
The ice shells melted upon contact, and the cultivators with their eyes closed fell straight into the water.
At this moment, Qing Guanzi and You He climbed out of the water. They looked at each other, vomiting water and laughing.
While vomiting water, Qing Guanzi pointed at Ji Rong and said, "I knew my junior sister was soft-hearted and would definitely come running out crying!"
"Youhe, you lost. You have to give me two ounces of meat."
Youhe nodded while painfully retching, looking pitiful.
Many water birds, tigers, and rabbits crawled out of the pond.
They vomited as they shook off the murky water droplets from their bodies and scattered.
The banquet has ended.
Ji Rong glanced at the Jade Liquid Pool and saw that the water was bluish-yellow, clear and turbid.
Beside the Jade Liquid Pool, tender grass sprouts, while withered branches and fallen leaves are covered in accumulated dust and decay.
There were no golden lotuses, nor any other flowers; only a few small white blossoms dotted the desolate pond's edge. A group of glossy-furred water rats floated on the water, cleaning up the debris in the pond.
Ji Rong stared blankly at her senior brother, whom she had lost and then found again, and thought that Qing Guanzi was truly despicable.
Ji Rong thought to herself, "This Qing Guanzi actually colluded with outside cultivators to gamble with my tears!"
This is outrageously audacious!
She angrily drew three swords and shouted at Jiao Jue, who was standing to the side, "Big brother, Senior Brother Guan Shan is really hateful!"
No wonder the other senior brothers and sisters didn't want to attend Yuanjun's banquet with him; it was really too much of a bullying!
"Brother, you'll have to cover for me later. I'm going to beat this guy up to vent my anger."
As Ji Rong was speaking, Qing Guanzi and the other cultivators who hadn't yet climbed out of the pool all started vomiting violently.
As Ji Rong watched them vomit, she felt a wave of nausea and began to vomit as well, mostly bits of weeds and grass.
Not only did Youhe gag, but its body also trembled violently, and many twigs, grass, jade carvings, and broken limbs crawled out of its intestines, which was quite pitiful.
Qing Guanzi disregarded his own safety and immediately rushed over to help Youhe up, saying, "Didn't I tell you that in your condition you can only drink at the banquet and not eat anything? What did you eat?"
Youhe strained to open her mouth and said, "After being exposed to the moonlight for the second time, my whole body was...dazed...and I...couldn't...control my...mouth."
I ate... a lot, I probably... can't go on... Cut off two ounces of my flesh, and give the rest... the relics in my storage ring to your junior sister, Kiyohime. I... used... her... Dream Lotus Seeds, and promised... to compensate... her...
Guanshan…I…dreamed…that I became…a god. If…I…am…, how…much…
Then, it was speechless, its eyes filled with pleading.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong's still watery eyes immediately started darting around. She grabbed Jiao Jue, flapped her wings, and rushed over, saying, "Great Sage with a Thousand Faces, you actually want to become a god?"
If you want to be a god, and I give you authority, can you still be in harmony with the divine? Are you still willing to be in harmony with the divine?
If you'd like, just nod.
Youhe's mind was already scattered, but upon hearing Ji Rong's words, he still nodded slightly with difficulty.
Qing Guanzi took a small jade bottle out of his mouth, uncapped it, and poured the pills inside into Youhe's mouth.
Youhe swallowed the pills with great effort and soon fell asleep. Occasionally, fragments of bone and jade carvings would still grow on its belly, which was quite strange.
After feeding her the medicine, Qingguan called out to Ji Rong, who was still glancing at him sideways, "Junior sister, Youhe is dying. Let's go back to Yuxu Palace first. After this matter is settled, your senior brother will apologize to you properly."
Ji Rong nodded and said to Jiao Jue seriously, "Brother, come with me to the Jade Void Mountain Range first. After the matter of the Thousand-Faced Great Sage is settled, we will go to the Danxue Mountain Range."
Jiao Jue squinted and said, "Okay."
The dragon and the serpent then manifested their true forms, piercing through the hazy, gloomy mist, and quickly flew away from the Moon Shadow Mountains, heading towards the Jade Void Palace.
On the cliff, Qingpingzi instructed Qingguanzi to place the large jade vat next to the lotus platform.
Youhe's pupils were already unfocused, and she was only hanging on by a thread.
Ji Rong spread one wing and placed it on Qing Pingzi's neck, saying in a sorrowful whisper, "Senior brother, do you know the ancient method of creating gods using the ape-faced fish? You He said she would give me its relics."
It said it dreamed that it became a god and wanted to remain a god, but now that it is like this, let alone becoming a god, it can no longer be lucid.
"Senior brother, I have a plan. Juejun doesn't want power. Let's use He's body to separate Juejun from power, and then it can become a god as it wishes."
Upon hearing Ji Rong's words, Qingpingzi said, "I have heard my master mention this ancient method of creating gods before."
"Junior sister? You intend to use Youhe's dying body as a vessel for your Nascent Soul stage?"
Ji Rong nodded naturally and said, "Yes, senior brother, it would be a waste not to use it now."
It itself felt it owed me something, and I took what I could to repay its last wish—how could that not be enough?
Kiyohei turned to look at Kakujue and Kiyokanzu who were standing to the side and asked, "Is that so?"
Jiao Jue nodded slightly.
Qing Guanzi then said, "I made a bet with it, and I won. It will then cut off two ounces of meat for me."
He said he gave all his other belongings to Kiyohime.
Upon hearing Qing Guanzi's words and sensing that Youhe's aura was beginning to dissipate, Qing Pingzi finally nodded and said, "Then I will give it a try."
Then, Qingpingzi chased Qingguanzi away, and the three of them surrounded Youhe's body and began to discuss countermeasures.
Qingpingzi looked at the jade pendant, remained silent for a while, and then said, "Lord Jue, I have never heard of a god stripping away all his authority before."
I have heard you say that this authority resides within your soul, that it merges with your soul and then gives birth to its own form, and that it is like a living thing.
Even now, though the divine authority is carried by Youhe's body, you can still feel a connection with them.
Furthermore, if we remove them, you might even develop headaches; it's truly unnecessary.
Jiao Jue narrowed his eyes and lowered his body, saying, "Senior, please try this method of creating gods. Otherwise, it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity again in the future."
Ji Rong chimed in, "That's right, Senior Brother, quickly seal off this place, Cloud Cliff."
I will manifest a tree trunk, gather its spirit, and borrow the source of Juejun to grant it the authority to merge.
Hearing them say this, Qingpingzi was eager to try it out. He took out a whisk from the center of the lotus platform and flicked it into the air.
Then, on the cloud-covered cliff, lotus petals closed one by one, enveloped by mist until they could no longer be seen.
