Chapter 386 Consolation
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong's eyes instantly lit up. She pointed to the Source Regeneration Pool and said, "Divine Lord, please have the wild boar work hard to fill this pool. That way, I can go out with you all. I'm so bored writing books with my senior brother every day."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Shan Shui immediately shook his head and said, "We can't do that. Young friend, please be patient for a few more days. Once the main spiritual vein of Hezhou is connected, we can move the tree." Then he quickly ran to Qing Ping Zi's place.
Four years later, Qingpingzi wrote furiously and had already finished engraving the "Wool" chapter, the "Feather" chapter, and had also written the beginning of the fourth chapter, the "Scale" chapter.
With the return of the landscape, Qingpingzi carved even faster.
Thus, Ji Rong became even more bored. Although the liquid level in the Source Regeneration Pool did not increase, perhaps because the Ancestral Tree had been staying in the Source Pool for many years, her cultivation level was increasing every day, and her understanding of the various paths was becoming stronger and stronger, so she didn't need to cultivate at all.
Bored, Ji Rong could only eat and drink all day and sleep all night. Feeling extremely empty inside, she often groaned in pain.
Ji Rong's behavior inevitably made Jiao Jue, who was always busy with trivial matters and often wished he could split himself in two to work, envious. He angrily roared, "You stupid bird, you are born to be a busybody. You have leisure time but don't know how to enjoy it."
But Ji Rong was bored for only thirty-three days. On the morning of the thirty-fourth day, Niu Fen's letter arrived in her hands. At the beginning of the letter, Niu Fen reported to Ji Rong and Jiao Jue that he had cultivated to the level of a king.
Then, on the wooden tablet, there was only his concern for Xi Tong. He said that since Jue Jun sent the fire crystal, Xi Tong had stopped eating spiritual food.
The volcano's fire is growing ever larger, but Xi Tong has become emaciated and looks like a madman, cursing Xi Jun in the flames every day.
At the end of the letter, Niu Fen pleaded, "Please, Lord Ji, have pity on me and come and persuade my master to eat something. She originally said she wanted to see me become the Supreme Emperor; but now, she looks like a rootless herb."
Ji Rong put down Niu Fen's letter and began packing his belongings, pondering how to get to Juzhou.
Before they even set off, at dusk on the thirty-fifth day, Qing Guanzi, who had successfully lost 30% of her weight, happily wiggled her round body as she climbed up Longfeng Mountain.
The Jade Void Mountain Range had been completed, and he had no work to do, so he felt at ease running out to play with Ji Rong.
The beast-god servant Feng Qing looked at Qing Guanzi's still plump body and thought for a while. In the end, it simply led Qing Guanzi to sit down in the Shoudao Palace, without serving him any wine or fruit, and then went to invite Ji Rong.
Qing Guanzi didn't care. As soon as he saw Ji Rong, who was still slender, he winked and said, "Junior sister, would you like to watch your senior brother fight?"
Upon hearing of the magical duel, Ji Rong asked in surprise, "Senior Brother, your cultivation is profound. Who else can challenge you in a magical duel now?"
Qingguanzi wagged its tail happily and said, "Si Nu sent me a challenge a few days ago, saying that she has established her own power base and needs to establish her authority through a battle. How could I not go?"
"Si Nu?" Ji Rong immediately became interested and asked, "Where did she run off to?"
“The Blessed Land of Miraculous Flames.” Qing Guanzi said, “Junior Sister, do you still remember the Great Sage of Blazing Flames? She moved her entire clan there.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong asked in confusion, "Since she betrayed Xi Jun and went to Qi Yan Blessed Land, which has a grudge against Xi Jun, why doesn't she devote herself to cultivation and attain immortality?"
Now you still want to challenge your senior brother to a duel? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by Xi Jun?
Even if your dragon race is warlike, you can't just stand by and do nothing.
"Junior Sister has good taste!" Qing Guanzi praised, stroking his paw. "Although the cultivators of Qiyan Blessed Land hate Xi Jun to the bone, Si Nu used to be a divine servant. How could they easily trust her? They naturally want her to give a pledge of allegiance."
But at our level, if there are no grudges, why would we easily start a fight?
She's come to someone as famous and renowned as me. If she loses to me, she won't lose face; but if she wins, she'll truly establish herself.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong recalled the mountain tortoise that had been taken away by Si Nu, and said, "Senior Brother Guan Shan, I was originally going to Ju Zhou to see Immortal Lord Ji Yang. Since you want me to accompany you, let's go together. After I see my old friends, I will go with you to Qi Yan Blessed Land."
Qing Guanzi was already curious about what the Extreme Yang Immortal Lord looked like, so when he heard Ji Rong say this, he had no reason not to.
So Ji Rong privately told Shan Shui not to tell Qing Pingzi about her departure again, and told Shan Shui that she should see the mountain tortoise before carrying her Shoudao Palace on her back and going to Tanghe Mountain in Juzhou with Qing Guanzi.
Thanks to Xi Tong, Tanghe Mountain and the four nearby mountains have all shed their snow and ice and grown vegetation.
Xi Tong bathed in the hot springs at the top of the mountain, near the volcano.
Ji Rong, while Niu Fen entertained Qing Guanzi, flew alone to the crater and called out, "Sister Hei, I've come to see you."
Ji Rong's voice traveled through the scalding magma. After a long while, a thin, black bird with grayish-white eyes struggled to crawl out. She drooped her wings, stretched out her bony neck, and said with a sinister smile, "Arong, what brings you here? I happen to have a problem that's bothering me and I can't solve it."
Ji Rong suppressed her emotions, tilted her head nonchalantly, and asked, "What's troubling you?"
Xi Tong immediately spat out the fire seal. As soon as the flames enveloped them completely, Xi Tong shouted, "Arong, my good uncle is too powerful. I gave up half of my power, but I only trapped him. I can't kill him at all. Arong, I'm so unwilling!"
"I'm not reconciled! He must die! Why should He live? I want Him dead!"
"Go to hell!"
"Go to hell...!"
......
She screamed and spun wildly around the fire mark. Flames lit up her feathers, slowly emitting a burnt smell, but Xi Tong ignored them and continued to scream wildly around the fire mark.
But after calling for a while, Xi Tong returned to normal. She took the fire seal down from the air, handed it to Ji Rong, and smiled gently, "Good Rong, tell me, how can I kill Him?"
Ji Rong could only reply calmly, "Sister Hei, can you trap Him now? That would be truly remarkable."
But why do you want Him to die? We cannot lose the sun; if we lose the sun, the world will surely be in imbalance. Are you going to replace the Lord of the Sun and become the new sun?
Hearing this, Xi Tong became agitated again and said, "Of course He has to die! He's selfish and only cares about himself. If He doesn't die, I, I..."
Xi Tong's abdomen heaved violently, but his neck seemed to be choked, and he stopped abruptly.
Flames burst forth from her body like exploding smoke, and she began frantically plucking her own feathers. Her beak was sharp and piercing, and she plucked out dozens of bloody feathers. She cried out sadly, "I have given half of my authority to Him. I can no longer be the sun."
“...I hate it…” Golden tears of blood streamed down the blind eyes of the golden crow. Her aura suddenly surged, and a fierce light emanated from her body. She roared in Ji Rong’s direction, “How dare you, a bird, speak for Him? Who are you? Whose side are you on?”
Ji Rong involuntarily took two steps back. She took a deep breath, then opened her voice and forcefully persuaded, "Sister Hei, I'm A Rong. Of course, I'm on your side."
I've heard that living is more painful than dying!
"Sister, since you can imprison Him, why not follow the example of the sages and become a celestial ruler who imprisons the sun and urges it to exercise its power?"
"Which sage has ever chased the sun?" Upon hearing this, Xi Tong immediately stopped plucking feathers and exclaimed, "How come I don't know?"
Seeing that Xi Tong had calmed down again, Ji Rong lowered her voice and continued, "Sister Hei, it's naturally those ancient great witches."
I've heard that when they were at their peak, they had nothing better to do than chase after the sun and tear it apart.
I've also heard that the spiritual veins of the Nine Provinces were damaged by the first batch of Celestial Race members who had nothing better to do. This shows that being too powerful and unrestrained is never a good thing.
Upon hearing this, Xi Tong thought for a while, then suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly: "That's right, that's right, A Rong, why would I kill Him? Haha, that would be too easy on Him. He is the sun, I should let Him shine on the earth forever and ever."
Ji Rong immediately stepped forward, grasped Xi Tong's hand, and made up a story with great emotion: "That's right, the sun can't die, but if you could make it live only according to your wishes, it might be willing to die right now. But sister, how can we let it die so easily!"
Xi Tong nodded repeatedly, but immediately she raised her head again, a questioning voice rising from her mouth. She gripped Ji Rong tightly with her wings and claws and shouted, "Tell me, do you not want Him to die!"
Ji Rong grabbed Xi Tong's claws with her own, ignoring the burning flames, and stuffed the fire seal back into Xi Tong's claws, saying, "Sister Hei, if you master a profound fire control technique, whether He lives or dies is just a matter of your thought."
"But Sister Hei, I've heard that the ancient great shamans were all strong and robust. You're so thin now, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with the sun."
Xi Tong received the fire seal, stunned and speechless. The firelight burned on her body, neither too big nor too small, and Ji Rong sat quietly beside her.
Ji Rong sat with Xi Tong at the crater for two hours. Just when she felt that the magic feathers on her body had lost their luster and were about to burn, Xi Tong suddenly nodded in Ji Rong's direction and said, "A Rong, I know what to do." After saying that, she called out wearily, "Fen, bring me some food."
Upon hearing this, Niu Fen immediately transformed into his magical bull form, set up a jade table for Xi Tong, arranged spiritual herbs and spiritual water, and even went up the mountain to hunt some meat.
After Niu Fen set out the food, Xi Tong ate while smiling meaningfully and said, "Niu Fen, in the future, take half of the fire crystals sent from the water veins of the Canglan Mountains and send them to Guangyang Palace. Tell them that I, as your niece, am showing my respect to my uncle."
"Huh?" Niu Fen asked anxiously, "Then what will you use to cultivate, Master?"
Xi Tong laughed excitedly, "I don't want to live that long, so I don't need that many fire crystals."
Haha, Niu Fen, anything becomes poison if you inhale too much of it, but even poisonous fire is still fire. Your master is meant to control the fire, not to be the one who starts it.
As Xi Tong spoke these nonsensical words, nine golden chains suddenly appeared from the fire seal. Then, Xi Tong emptied all the food into his mouth and said to Ji Rong, "Arong, I have understood. I will go into seclusion to study the method of fire control. Once I have mastered this method, I will invite you to a proper gathering."
Having said that, Xi Tong took the fire seal with its chains and disappeared into the fire.
