Chapter 353 Exercise of Power
Shan Shui stood up and continued, "Young friend Ji Rong, the source has collapsed. After I finish repairing the remaining mountains and rivers, I should return to heaven and earth."
"Young friend Ji Rong, you have helped me greatly. What do you desire? Speak your mind, and before I truly collapse, I will grant your wish."
As Shan Shui spoke these words, his body shone brightly, and his figure continued to grow taller, transforming into a ten-foot-tall, bright yellow earthen figure. A huge earthen bowl covered his head, making his figure appear exceptionally heavy and powerful.
The Mountain and Water God became serious, and Ji Rongjiaojue laughed again.
Ji Rong fluttered her wings happily, flying around the mountains and rivers, and called out, "Haga! Divine Lord, don't be impatient, quickly put away your Dharma form."
Are you serious? I've always had a wish: to create a world I've dreamed of. Are you truly willing to help me fulfill that wish?
The towering mountains and rivers looked at Ji Rong as if they were still in the Canglan Mountains and Rivers. They nodded slightly and smiled gently, "Is this your wish?"
"Yes," Ji Rong blinked her beady eyes and nodded frantically.
"Can."
"Haga!" Ji Rong raised her slender neck and exclaimed, "Thank you, Divine Lord! Since the Divine Lord has such a wish, Lord Jue and I will grant the Divine Lord eternal life."
She took out the two storage rings containing the sediment of the source flow and handed them to Shan Shui with a smug look, saying, "Divine Lord, don't be in such a hurry to deduce when you will collapse."
You've spent many years in the source pool; you should know how to recreate the source.
Shan Shui took the two enormous storage rings, filled with the sediment of the source, and after a moment's thought, he understood the meaning of "recreation" that Ji Rong had mentioned.
But how easy is it to regenerate the source stream?!
He opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and then took down the broken bowl from his head and replied, "If the spiritual veins of the nine provinces can be reconnected and the power of the earth replenished, the source pool may be reshaped."
Young friend Ji Rong, it's not that I'm reluctant to merge the power into the earth, but now that the immortal path has been established, if we, the gods of the end times, were to exercise power on a large scale, no amount of source streams would be enough to consume it.
Even if one truly cultivates the Source Pool, it would only add glory to the gods high in the sky; it would probably not be able to protect it.
"Young friend Ji Rong, this item is precious. You should quickly put it away; keeping it as a keepsake would be excellent."
Ji Rong nodded and said, "Thank you for informing me, Divine Lord. I am aware of the advantages and disadvantages. Divine Lord, you need not worry about anything else. I have my own plan."
The first step in fulfilling my wish doesn't require the entire Nine Provinces; it only requires the Divine Lord to quickly repair the spiritual veins of the Danxue Mountains.
Upon hearing this, the mountain and water shrank in size again. He raised the bowl high above his head and said, "I understand. This is my duty."
"Jade Lord, could you perhaps provide some background information?"
Jiao Jue squinted and nodded. He took out a gourd and poured it directly into Shan Shui's broken bowl.
The broken bowl seemed to never be able to be filled. No matter how much source water entered, it was only filled to the bottom. Fortunately, when it reached the seventy-fifth breath, Shanshui said, "That's enough, Lord Jue."
Shan Shui, carrying a broken bowl, walked out of the Dragon and Phoenix Hall and onto the lawn.
He placed the bowl on his head, plunged his hands into the soil, and cried out, "Mountain dragons and mountain phoenixes, come quickly to see me!"
Before long, the mountain dragon and the mountain phoenix came rushing over mountains and ridges. After bowing to Shan Wu and Jiao Jue in turn, they obediently prostrated themselves at the foot of the mountain and water.
Shan Shui pulled his hands out of the soil, took the bowl off his head, and said, "Come and drink some. After you finish drinking, we'll start repairing the mountain range and connecting the spiritual veins."
"Huh!?" Shanlong looked at the broth that had barely reached the bottom of the bowl with disbelief and said, "Brother, you've only drunk this little..."
"Smack!"
Before Shanlong could finish speaking, Shanfeng grabbed his vital spot with a single wing claw.
The mountain phoenix held the mountain dragon under its paws and stepped on it, bowing its head respectfully to the mountain and water, saying, "Brother, we understand."
Looking at the defiant Shanlong, Shanshui grinned and said, "Shanlong, now that you've come out, you're starting to disobey your elder brother. Do you want to rebel against me like Shanxiao, Shandiao, Shanhou, and Shanfei?"
The mountain phoenix's head was already touching the ground. It hurriedly said, "Big brother, don't be angry. You know, although the mountain dragon has no brains, it can burrow underground quickly. I will use my claws to reason with it and I will definitely beat it to a pulp."
Shan Shui slowly opened his mouth, revealing rows of tiger teeth like blades and swords, but these were quickly hidden by the upward curve of his lips. He smiled gently and said, "You have all been nurtured and enlightened by me, and your minds are rich. Now that you have chosen the Danxue Mountains, you must do your duty. Go."
The mountain phoenix released the mountain dragon, but still kept one foot on the dragon's neck, pressing its head to the ground. The phoenix then bowed down, holding its wing claws, and said, "Brother, rest assured, I will take care of it right away."
Then he grabbed the mountain dragon and flew down the mountain.
In the wind, the mountain dragon said aggrievedly, "Why did you hit me again! If we really wanted to cultivate the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers, why did we come here? Wouldn't it have been better to go to the desolate land and nurture a spiritual vein ourselves?"
If we run out of resources now, how will we survive in future battles?! Will we just give up on the spot?
Besides, what's wrong with me saying a few words? Juejun is also a deity, and we are now His subjects. He has always been merciful..."
Seeing that He still seemed oblivious, the mountain phoenix became so angry that it slammed Him to the ground with its claws, saying, "Shut up! I think you've forgotten how you came to be after a few days of comfort!"
If I didn't need you to dig into the soil to pull out the spiritual vein for repair, do you think I would bother taking you along!
The essence within your belly was given to you by your elder brother when he personally executed the mountain beast because he saw you were weak!
Now that your elder brother has arrived, you're starting to spout nonsense!
If you want to live, then do what your elder brother asked you to do properly;
"If you don't want to live, don't drag me down with you. I can just devour you for a meal! And please, brother, find someone else to burrow underground and sort out the meridians!"
Upon hearing this, Shanlong immediately shut his mouth and obediently followed Shanfeng, starting their work from Longfeng Mountain.
He closed his eyes and saw his form gradually become transparent in the air.
His mouth opened wide, and a pure, golden stream emerged from it, surrounding a dragon-shaped seal. He swallowed the gushing spring, then, like a fish, flicked his tail and disappeared into the ground.
As the mountain dragon roamed underground, spiritual energy carrying the scent of damp earth rose little by little in the direction it traveled. Before long, pale golden veins of varying sizes and lengths emerged from it.
The mountain phoenix soared through the air, spitting out a phoenix-shaped seal. The seal grew larger in the air, flashing with light, and the mountain phoenix plunged into it, its entire body turning pale gold, its form shifting between solid and ethereal.
At the end of each spiritual vein, He would peck off a golden feather, fly down, and insert the feather into the cracks in the spiritual vein, twisting them together.
The mountain phoenix lowered its head and let out a cry. Its feathers gradually merged into the spiritual veins, which were immediately infused with surging vitality. The mountain dragon then dragged the spiritual veins back into the earth.
One by one, the spiritual veins were formed by the combined efforts of the mountain dragon and the mountain phoenix.
The mountain dragon and mountain phoenix circled the Danxue Mountain Range, turning over the soil, fixing the veins, fusing spiritual energy, and resetting...
In just a few months, the entire ley lines of the Danxue Mountain Range were repaired.
