Chapter 373 Circumnavigation of the Sun
Shan Shui nodded to Ji Rong and said, "Don't worry, young friend, I have a plan."
He took the broken bowl off his head and threw it in the direction where Xi Tong was. As soon as the bowl got close to the firelight, it quickly grew larger.
This bowl seems to hold Xi Tong within it, fixed beneath the sun that Xi Tong has transformed into.
The damp soil in the earthen bowl visibly dried, steaming up plumes of hot mist, and several fine cracks became clearly visible again. Ji Rong said anxiously, "My Lord, please don't force it."
Shan Shui smiled at Ji Rong, then transformed back into his true form, his small legs sinking into the soil and stepping on a spiritual vein.
Then, He took out the jade bottle containing the source flow and gave the weak wild boar a lot to drink. He said to the wild boar, "Now that you have arrived at the Guangyang Mountains, it is clear that this mountain is destined for you. Quickly go down into the spiritual vein, and I will help you merge with this vein. After that, as long as you hide in the soil and do not come out, He will be unable to do anything to you."
"Once you have recovered from your injuries, I will use your spiritual veins to open a path to the Danxue Mountains and the waterways of the Canglan Mountains. Then you will be the true God of Guangyang Mountain, and He will be even less able to harm you. Do you understand?"
The wild boar nodded and immediately began to dig into the ground. It spat out a pig-shaped seal into the cave and disappeared into the spiritual vein that the mountain and water had settled into.
As the wild boar entered, the spiritual energy in Guangyang Mountain trembled, and the earth and rocks shook.
Seeing this, the plump but listless wild goose beside him quickly said, "Brother, I am also very weak and can hardly leave. Let me stay here too. I will not fly away again."
Shan Shui looked at Shan Yan and nodded, saying, "That's fine too."
He handed out the jade bottle, allowing the wild goose to drink until it was three-tenths full.
The mountain goose that had drunk the source of the stream shone with golden light. It spat out the golden goose seal from its mouth, placed it on its head, and then flew swiftly around Guangyang Mountain.
Golden feathers fell from His body, these feathers seemingly real yet illusory, settling in a haphazard way on the soil raised by the wild boar, and merging into the ground.
With the arrival of the mountain geese, a golden spiritual vein appeared in the mountains like a dragon, then quickly fell back into the ground.
The wild boar and the wild goose emerged from the ground and the mountains respectively, bowed to the mountains and waters, and said, "Thank you for saving us, elder brother." Then they burrowed back into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
The mountains and rivers nodded toward the place where they disappeared and said, "Wild boars and wild geese, quickly bring the spiritual veins here. I wish to arrange the stars to surround the sun and protect the new sun as it rises into the sky."
As soon as these words were spoken, golden phantoms of a pig and a goose emerged from the ground, trailing long tails of spiritual mist behind them, and they lay prostrate at the foot of the mountains and rivers.
Shan Shui stood on the back of the wild goose, his teeth clenched tightly. He spread his arms and held up the earthen bowl that surrounded Xi Tong. Many mountain-patterned birds and beasts surged under his earthen-yellow skin. Then, the small sun that Xi Tong had transformed into finally started to turn and began to fly into the sky.
This scene is truly: Mountains and rivers draw the sky, and stars accompany the sun!
Above the sky, in the darkness of night, hundreds of stars, each dragging its own chain of order, slowly appeared in the air. They all turned toward Xi Tong, who was pulled along by the rotation of the hundreds of stars, turning faster and faster, rising higher and higher.
Seeing this, Ji Rong exclaimed excitedly, "Good sister, I will also protect you."
She immediately put down the Western Treasure Palace, and then transformed into a celestial being. Her mind sank down, and her bird body gradually shrank, stopping on the left shoulder of the celestial being.
Two enormous bodies of great sorcerers, their bodies shrouded in golden runes, emerged from the West Treasure Palace. Great Sorcerer Qi picked up Ji Rong and placed her on his head; Great Sorcerer Tuo, holding a heavy sword, stood like a statue. Both of them stared blankly at the movements of Guangyang Palace.
The heatwave on the top of Guangyang Mountain rose higher and higher, and the air waves of water and fire swept across the entire mountain. The ice and snow had long since melted, and the ice dragon howled and fled.
The melting snow and condensed air did not descend the mountain; instead, they were drawn by the will left behind by the Great Witch Pang and continuously poured into Guangyang Palace, following the earth's vein water.
Inside Guangyang Palace, boiling water poured down as the Great Shaman Pang brandished six white water chains, binding Xi Zhu's scorching body like guards watching over prisoners.
Xi Zhu struggled to leap upwards, trying to break free from the six water chains binding her body, but each time she leaped, the unconscious Great Witch Pang used brute force to push her back into the water.
"Ahhhhhh..." The agonizing screams, mixed with the scorching steam, were carried by the wind and spread in all directions.
"Despicable insects!" the Lord of the Sun roared angrily. "Mountains and Rivers, since you don't want to live, then die with them!"
“Wah ho gua wa…” One by one, fireballs containing the essence of the sun were spat out from the mouth of the Lord of the Sun, melting away the water chains that bound Him.
A giant sun, formed from a golden crow, forcibly rose from the dilapidated main hall of Guangyang Palace.
In the darkness, the body of the Lord of the Sun was clearly visible. On His bird-like body were chains of crimson and black, which bound this deity to a blazing sphere.
A fierce fire surged in Xi Zhu's eyes, and He once again spewed a giant flame at the Great Witch Pang, who was almost burned to ashes.
The Great Witch Pang, its eyes vacant, lashed the ruins of Guangyang Palace with the tattered water chain, muttering, "Kill, kill, flowers... kill..."
As the flames reached its brow, the lingering remnants of its body were fully activated by the divine sense possessed by Ji Rong. A look of confusion appeared in its eyes as it looked up at the Lord of the Rising Sun, who was struggling to fly upwards, and cried out in a sorrowful voice, "Immortal... Immortal Light..."
Then, an obscure ancient incantation floated from His mouth, shooting towards the Lord of the Sun like a powerful fire turtle.
"Bang... Crack, crack, crack, boom!" A huge explosion resounded throughout the universe. A wave of black and gray air burst forth above Guangyang Palace. It surged into the sky and soon turned into fragments that fell down.
The Lord of the Sun, who had been knocked back into his bird form, landed on the ruins of Guangyang Palace. His face was ravaged, and golden blood fell like beads, turning into fuel for the fire.
Pieces of black ash peeled off His face, turning into sparks that drifted down and ignited upon contact with the ground.
The new sun in the sky was completely surrounded by the stars, and the sky had already set. The Lord of the Sun quickly spread his wings, opened his big beak, and spat out a huge stream of pure fire towards the newborn sun above.
The fire swirled in the air into five large fireballs, hurtling straight toward Xi Tong.
Because the Great Witch's abode was destroyed, Ji Rong, feeling dizzy and mentally injured, suppressed the surging blood in her body. She swallowed the blood in her mouth, held her breath, and let the blood, which had nowhere to go, gushed out of her nose and ears.
Seeing the fireballs hurtling down, Ji Rong immediately closed his eyes and roared, "Great Shaman, use water magic to catch those balls and return them to Him!"
Then the Great Shaman's eyes suddenly became lively. He opened his hands and slowly stirred them. In an instant, the thin water vapor between heaven and earth was stirred up again.
In the blink of an eye, the Great Shaman peeled off a thin layer of air membrane. Its fingers didn't stop, peeling off ten more layers. When it couldn't peel off any more, it grabbed the roll of water membrane and threw it at the fireball above.
The five enormous fireballs pierced straight through the ten water films and shrank considerably.
Despite being much smaller, the five fireballs only paused briefly before continuing their attack on Xi Tong, who had already risen into the air.
