Chapter 407 Alien Species
In the second year of the Immortal Era, a powerful aura suddenly rose from the direction of Hezhou, and the phantom of a red dragon hung high in the sky. The name of "Hard-to-Shake True Immortal Si Nu" resounded throughout the land and lingered for a long time.
The first true dragon proved its immortality, and the dragons of the Nine Provinces, sensing this power, roared towards Hezhou.
Even dragons like Jiaojue, Qingguanzi, and Qingshao were no exception. They all rallied their spiritual power and roared towards Hezhou, congratulating Si Nu on attaining enlightenment.
In the third year of the Immortal Era, Ji Rong sensed that another powerful vein had appeared beneath the tree trunk.
She opened her eyes and said happily to Jiao Jue, "Brother, I have a feeling that the spiritual veins of Buzhou have been received. My opportunity for advancement has finally arrived."
After saying that, she said to Xi Tong, "Sister Hei, since you are in charge of the Fire Seal, you can probably make the spiritual veins more solid. I can't just stay here and not move around forever."
Xi Tong nodded and said, "Spiritual veins are inherently formless, cannot be fixed, and are not easy to solidify."
But I, Jue-jun, and the Mountain and Water God, working together, should be able to add an extra layer of protection to it.
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong immediately said with delight, "Okay, Sister Hei, Big Brother, please quickly devise a plan on how to reinforce this underground spiritual vein so that I can get away."
If this spiritual vein can operate completely autonomously, the divine world of my dreams can advance even further.
Soon after, Shan Shui, whose body had grown much taller and was about seven feet tall, carried Shan Wu, whose two front paws were injured, back to the Danxue Mountains. Shan Baosheng also came with them. This time, they looked very disheveled.
Upon seeing Ji Rong, Shan Baosheng, who had been listless, suddenly brightened up. He clung to Ji Rong's feet and said aggrievedly, "Lord Ji, I've been looking for you in the Jade Void Mountains for so long without success. I never expected to see you just because I came with my elder brother!"
Ji Rong picked up Shan Baosheng and threw him onto the clouds to keep the four little dragons company. She then had Ji Zhuang take Shan Wu away to recuperate, while Shan Shui was left in the Source Regeneration Pool to restore his divine body.
Shanshui then lay in the Source Regeneration Pool and told Ji Rong and Jiao Jue about the situation in Buzhou.
Shanshui said that the slave trade and the flesh trade were rampant in Buzhou, and the same was true at the liaison point between Xizhou and Buzhou.
The mountain tribesmen in the prefecture were busy fighting for territory and gaining followers. Many of them had already colluded with the local powerful clans and learned to be two-faced.
They were outwardly respectful to their elder brother, but in reality, they were perfunctory. The mountain monkeys and goats even pointed at the mountains and rivers with their paws and said that he was biased. For example, they said that such an unknown creature as Shan Baosheng was able to enjoy the land of a whole state.
Seeing that the tangled web of spiritual energy in Buzhou was impossible to unravel, Shanshui ordered them to connect the main spiritual vein underground to Liangzhou. He also set up a restriction in Liangzhou that allowed more energy to enter than leave, to prevent Buzhou from excessively consuming spiritual energy and causing instability in the source flow.
After they had done all this, before they had even left Liangzhou, they saw the mountain eagle suddenly come straight down from the sky with a spear in its hand, heading straight for Shanshui. Shanshui, with its eyes blind and claws quick, grabbed the spear with its two front claws, and Shanshui cleanly decapitated the mountain eagle and swallowed it.
But Yama was ultimately seriously injured.
Seeing that Shanshui and Shanwu had been attacked, Shan Baosheng hastily made some arrangements for the affairs of Liangzhou and followed them out.
Shan Shui initially disagreed, but Shan Baosheng spread his two small hands and said, "Brother, they certainly can't take away the believers in Liangzhou."
But if they are not satisfied and try to seize the land, I definitely cannot defeat them if they join forces. Therefore, I will have Baosheng help you send this cultivator back.”
Only after hearing this did Shan Shui agree to let Shan Baosheng return with him.
Although the spiritual veins have been reconnected, the ungrateful behavior of the mountain gods of Buzhou still saddens the mountains and rivers.
Beside the Source Regeneration Pool, Jiao Jue and Ji Rong listened quietly. After Shan Shui finished speaking, Jiao Jue said, "Mountain and Water God, since they are your subordinate gods and were able to be born because of your blessing, how dare they disobey your orders?"
Shan Shui lowered his eyes and said, "They were differentiated from the Seal of All Things, possessing beast bodies, and can also be considered beast gods."
Having undergone the baptism of the immortal path, they were not overly dependent on their origins. The people of the continent welcomed them and guarded their divine thrones, much like in ancient times.
Ji Rong smiled and said, "Divine Lord, there is no need to worry. Now there are many sources in this pool. You, Sister Hei, and Lord Jue should work together to protect the main veins so that they are not so easy to break, so that I can get away."
"Heaven and earth are already within our grasp. If they want to fight over them, let them fight it out for now. Once a suitable cultivator appears among our ranks, we can send him to guard the land."
Shan Shui perked up upon hearing this and said, "Okay."
It took three months for Shanshui to recover after lying in the Source Regeneration Pool. As soon as he came out of the Source Regeneration Pool, Shan Baosheng, who was guarding the pool, took the bowl shards off his head and handed them to Shanshui.
He took the broken bowl from the mountain and water, put the shards into the gap, and saw that the bowl gradually filled with dry soil.
He, along with the long-awaited Horned Jade and the Dawn, each occupied a side of the Source Regeneration Pool and offered up a bowl, suspending it above the Source Regeneration Pool.
The four little dragons on Jiaojue immediately surrounded it. One of them used the flowing water to create clouds and rain, another used thunder, and the third used electricity. As the thunder and rain raged, Xitong took out a fire seal, soaked it in the soil, and repeatedly burned it. Only after the soil turned into droplets did he take back the fire seal.
At this moment, the golden dragon used its tail to scoop up the muddy liquid in the bowl and plunge it into the water.
With a hiss, whoosh, hiss, whoosh, the scalding hot liquid earth was flung into the water by the little golden dragon's tail. Immediately, thick golden water mist rose from the surface of the water, and gusts of wind emerged from the pale golden source regeneration pool, blowing into each spiritual vein.
As soon as the soil liquid entered the spiritual vein, Ji Rong contracted her main root slightly. Once the soil liquid turned into a thin layer that adhered to the spiritual flow, Ji Rong's roots were finally completely withdrawn.
“Haga!” Ji Rong laughed loudly, “I am finally free.”
She immediately merged her three bodies into one, spread her wings and flew away from Dragon and Phoenix Mountain, searching in all directions, and finally landed in Xianxing Lake, which is the closest mountain to Yueyin Mountain in the Danxue Mountain Range.
Her figure constantly shifted between trees, birds, and people, while thunder roared incessantly in the sky, the rain poured down, and sparks flew through the rain, occasionally flashing out extremely bright beams of light.
Despite the thunder and lightning, and the feeling of being integrated into her body, Ji Rong felt no pain. In this extraordinary event, she transformed into a being that was both immortal and divine.
She is not a god, yet stars are drawn to her, but she has no authority.
If she is not a fairy, then the Great Dao is full of her marks, but her bird body is clearly still a mortal.
The divine tree, the immortal, and the mortal bird merged perfectly within Ji Rong's body.
When the three bodies merged into one, Ji Rong had the body of a bird, the shadow of a human, and a strange appearance with twisting roots under her feathers.
This strangeness made Ji Rong herself unsure of her current realm, but it didn't stop her from feeling immense power. So she simply stopped by the Star-Washing Lake, looked at her reflection in the water, and laughed excitedly.
Jiao Jue, who was guarding the way, couldn't stand the bird's arrogant behavior. He opened his eyes, looked Ji Rong over, and said sourly, "Colorful bird, you really have a good life!"
If you had been born three hundred years earlier, with your strange appearance, you would surely have been chosen by Emperor Rong to be his slave.
If they had been born in the ancient, primitive era, they might have been used as rare materials, just like the people of Guanshan.
...
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," before Jiao Jue could finish speaking, dozens of tree roots as flexible as iron whips emerged from Ji Rong's wings and claws, striking his dragon scales with a crackling sound.
In the air, Ji Rong cried out, "Big brother, I'm not a bird you can just catch! Hahahahahaha!"
