Chapter 354 Reconstruction
The way the mountain dragon and mountain phoenix exercise their power is really simple: they use themselves to make up for the missing parts of the spiritual veins.
From then on, they were bound together with the Danxue Mountains, and spiritual veins connected them to the spiritual energy. They truly became mountain gods bound by the Danxue Mountains.
Ji Rong and Ji Zhuang lay on the clouds gathered by the horn jade, looking down at the mountain dragon and mountain phoenix exercising their powers day and night, growing thinner and thinner each day. They felt as if they, who had made the request, were the reincarnation of the skinned bird god.
She couldn't help but sigh to Ji Zhuang and Jiao Jue, "No wonder the gods of the past were unwilling to cultivate spiritual veins. What difference is there between this and using one's own flesh and blood to support the operation of spiritual veins?"
Even if living beings don't become gods for pleasure, they'll still have some desires. And how many fools would sacrifice themselves and give selflessly?
Ji Zhuang spoke up, saying, "Sister, the Mountain and Water God has always been making sacrifices; you cannot speak of Him like that."
After the mountain dragon and mountain phoenix had thoroughly explored the Danxue Mountain Range, when they returned, their already less than ten feet tall bodies had shrunk to three feet tall, making them even smaller than the power creations of the Horned Jade.
After the Danxue Mountains were completely repaired, the mountain dragon and mountain phoenix climbed to the top of the mountain again and prostrated themselves at the foot of the mountains and rivers.
The mountain and water that had been sitting on the mountain opened its eyes at this moment. It smiled slightly, took the bowl down, and placed it in front of the mountain dragon and the mountain phoenix. The source water that filled the bottom of the bowl immediately gurgled out of the bowl.
The slender, listless mountain phoenix and mountain dragon, watching the bowl grow ever fuller, involuntarily swallowed their saliva. They licked the source of the water clean along the rim of the bowl, their eyelids began to droop, and they lay down at the foot of the mountain and water like living beings and fell asleep.
Ji Rong examined the bowl from the side and said, "Mountain and Water Gods, they need to sacrifice their bodies to exercise their power. What do you need to sacrifice to command them?"
Shan Shui picked up the bowl, brushed it with his hand, and saw that the bowl was golden and shiny, but there were two faint marks at the nick. He said, "I need to give them rights."
Why would you do this?
Shan Shui looked at Ji Rong and said gently, "Because I was born poor and weak, just like you."
"Since I have become a god, and thus have power, why shouldn't I?"
"Absolutely!" Ji Rong exclaimed, stroking his paw. "The Divine Lord is truly a gentleman!"
She spread her wings, tilted her head, and said, "Big brother, now that the mountain and river veins have been repaired, let's begin. Quickly protect me."
They arrived at the backyard of the Dragon and Phoenix Palace again. Ji Rong pointed to the ground and said, "Mountain and Water God, please make a deep pit for me here."
As instructed, Shan Shui tossed the bowl in that spot, and the soil on the ground moved automatically. As if it were alive, it moved to the surrounding area, and soon a deep pit appeared.
Ji Rong flapped her wings and leaped into the deep pit. She poured all the sediment from her two storage rings into the pit until she was submerged.
Then she transformed into a huge tree trunk, and with her mind sinking down, she saw thick roots surging in the deep pit, heading towards the spiritual veins deep in the soil.
Jiaojue manifested his Dharma body and circled the pool once. He said, "Mountain and Water God, let's wait."
Shan Shui nodded to Jiao Jue. He picked up the bowl, drank a mouthful of the source, and then stamped his foot. The earth that had been pushed up from the ground surrounded them and covered them. In an instant, a layer of earth was formed, covering them inside.
Beneath the soil, Ji Rong plunged all her roots into the source stream. She made several openings in the spiritual flow within, and then used many more roots to float and cling to the golden sediment of the source stream.
The pale golden source water in the spiritual lake within the body was slowly drawn into this new pool along with these newly grown roots, serving as the base material.
Jiaojue watched from the side, feeling it wasn't enough, so he took out a gourd from his mouth and poured it in, only stopping when he saw a shallow layer of source water appear at the bottom.
One after another, spiritual bubbles rose in the pool, making a "whoosh, whoosh" sound.
Before these bubbles burst, Ji Rong's vital energy roots drooped down, which she absorbed and pressed into the spiritual lake within her body, creating a cycle of large pools containing smaller ones.
Ji Rong re-stitched the broken spiritual vein that was flowing too fast, and then her mind returned to her body. She transformed into a bird and proudly flapped her wings at Jiao Jue and Shan Shui, saying, "It's done here. Let it grow slowly inside!"
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue summoned his authority to surround the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, and only then did Shan Shui put away the bowl.
Ji Rong said, "Now, let's go outside and establish a cycle of spiritual energy."
"Brother, it's possible that the spiritual energy in the air is being drawn into the soil."
Jiaojue nodded, propped himself up, and with a grab in the air, a small golden dragon appeared in his claws. The dragon swam into the air, gathered clouds, turned around, and headed towards the ground. A gust of wind followed him, and the wind swept up a large amount of spiritual energy in the sky, which followed him into a cave.
The earth nurtures all things, and all things absorb its vital energy.
They transformed into intelligent beings, and these beings roamed freely in all directions.
It can reach both the heavens and the earth, and it can also open up mountains and break through soil.
After death, the spirit returns to the earth, and the soul disperses to the kingdom of the night god.
All of this was originally planned, but the broken spiritual veins of the land lost their integrity and were consumed day and night. For many years, they had not received spiritual energy from the air. But today, the spiritual flow of the Danxue Mountains has received it. Their boundaries are like tiny pores opening up, absorbing it little by little.
As the spiritual energy was injected, the sleeping mountain dragon and phoenix seemed to be having a sweet dream, and laughed incessantly. When they laughed, the earth trembled slightly, and wisps of spiritual energy slowly descended with the spiritual flow, flowing into the pool beneath Ji Rong Tree.
The right path is:
Divine authority seeped into the earth's veins, and spiritual energy settled heavily on the land.
All things are governed by cause and effect, and are perpetually reborn and endlessly cycle through life.
The wind continued to blow. Ji Rong took out a wisp of pale golden source water that she had just condensed from the tree and showed it to Shan Shui and Jiao Jue. She said, "Brother, Lord Shan Shui, since Yuan Jun has already lent us the way, let's create another spiritual vein under the road between the Canglan Mountains and the Danxue Mountains. In this way, this source water regeneration pool will have a beginning and an end."
Afterwards, any mountains and rivers that have been restored by the hundred sons of the mountains can be included in this.
As she spoke, she looked at the mountains and rivers and solemnly said, "In this way, the Divine Lord will not need to excessively expend his power."
Shan Shui nodded in agreement, a smile on his face.
The spiritual streams beneath the water veins of the Canglan Mountains are unobstructed, but the 146-mile stretch of the Yueyin Mountain Range needs to be repaired. There are no spiritual streams in this area, so they need to be recreated.
Having assessed the terrain, Ji Rong returned to the tree trunk once more. Before her mind sank, she said, "I will build the most inconspicuous route here. When the time comes, the Mountain and Water God will expand it and it will be ready for use."
"Brother, tell the Silver Plate that if He sees any unusual movement in the spiritual water level, He need not be surprised."
Jiaojue and Shanshui nodded in unison. Ji Rong then calmed her mind and extracted a tiny spiritual vein from the ground. She attached the spiritual vein to the root and moved it along the path leading to the water veins of the Canglan Mountains. When it reached the size of a claw, she stopped and returned to the bird's body.
