Chapter 409 The Supreme Ruler (1)
After Ji Rong merged into one body and became a completely different species from heaven and earth, Jiao Jue devoted his energy to governing his subordinates.
He perused the bamboo scrolls and jade tablets handed to him by Qing Guanzi and discovered that during the days when He guarded the Source Regeneration Pool, the powerful clans under Emperor Rong's command frequently engaged in provocative acts on the border.
The leopard cat clan of the Lianyun Mountains and the macaque clan of the Fulu Mountains, taking advantage of their size, have repeatedly come to the Danxue Mountains to steal spiritual materials and cultivate spiritual techniques. Because they have been jumping around like rats at various borders, the originally chubby Qing Guanzi has become much stronger in recent years.
Jiao Jue gripped the jade tablet and examined it several times, his blood-red eyes opening and closing repeatedly, his dragon whiskers trembling with anger.
Qing Guanzi, who was standing to the side, said, "Lord Jue, Lord Rong's actions are extremely unjust!"
Now that you and your junior sister have both emerged from seclusion, why not have your junior sister and the Mountain and Water God lead the Mountain Dragon and Mountain Phoenix to guard Dragon and Phoenix Mountain, while we lead our troops and go together to clear the border?"
"Whoosh!" Jiao Jue exhaled a long breath of hot air and said, "Di Rong was created by the body of an emperor, born strong and powerful, possessing countless powerful weapons and blood weapons."
Back when we divided the source streams, He and Xi Jun didn't even bother with the sediment in the source stream pool. Now that I think about it, they must have hidden more than one source stream mountain, which is why they looked down on those dregs.
He turned his head and stared intently at Qing Guanzi, saying, "Guanshan, do you think this world still needs a common lord?"
"The sovereign?" Qing Guanzi looked up at the sky, pointed to the towering fireball, and said, "The Lord of the Sun?"
Jiao Jue replied, "No, a new overlord!"
Qing Guanzi immediately shook his head and said, "No one can take that position now. Jue Jun, Guan Shan, I'll say something you won't like to hear: you are indeed a true dragon that is rare to see in all the ages, but you are not qualified to become the supreme ruler."
He paused, then continued, "Senior Brother Wanfa is no good, neither is the Mountain and Water God, and even less so is Immortal Lord Jiyang."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue laughed heartily. After he finished laughing, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I have no intention of becoming the ruler, nor am I capable of being the ruler. I want to recommend your junior sister Ji Rong to be the ruler!"
He raised his head and suddenly rushed to Qing Guanzi's ear, saying seriously, "Guanshan, if your junior sister Qing Jizi were to become the leader, I think everyone in your Jade Void Palace would be willing, right?"
Qing Guanzi opened his mouth as if to say, "I am willing," but Yu Xu Palace is now very large, and there is no single opinion that can be taken as fact.
But he immediately nodded sensibly.
The lack of unity within Yuxu Palace was a problem before Qingpingzi attained immortality. Now, as long as Qingpingzi is willing, then Yuxu Palace is willing, and all the blessed lands that have attained immortality must also be willing.
If Kiyohime were to become the supreme ruler, judging from Wanfa's past performance, he would definitely support her.
Having made up his mind, Jiao Jue smiled and said to Qing Guanzi, "Guanshan, you and I are indeed natural soulmates."
"You'll have to work hard on these matters at the border for a while. I'll go and persuade the Extreme Yang Immortal Lord, the Ancient Shaking True Immortal, the Mountain and Water God Lord... and also Senior Wanfa."
Since there are important matters to discuss, how can we not make a grand spectacle of it?
So, Jiao Jue summoned back Gu Qingqing from the mine and Ji Zhuang from the edge of the spirit field, and said, "Fox, Zhuang, I have a secret to tell you."
Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuangli stood up abruptly, put on a squinting, grinning face, and said, "Please instruct us, Lord Jue."
Jiao Jue said happily, "This matter must not be spread. I intend to recommend Ji Rong as the leader of the country, so I must hold a banquet for him."
These past few days, you've summoned the servants back and cleaned the Dragon and Phoenix Palace inside and out. You also need to weave spirit grass mats on the large open space outside.
Remember, do not reveal this before it is accomplished.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang's eyes lit up with immense joy. They bowed to Jiao Jue and waited until they calmed down before leaving.
For a moment, outside the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, the sky was clear and spotless;
Inside the Dragon and Phoenix Hall, tables and wine were laid out, creating a joyous atmosphere.
Jiao Jue then ordered the four dragons of power to drink from the source and create four-colored clouds and mist, and to draw out wisps of spiritual rain. Only then did he order Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang to invite Xi Tong, Shan Shui, Qing Pingzi, and Yin Pan to come and discuss matters.
Ji Rong knew nothing of Jiao Jue's private actions, because, having finally regained her freedom, she was flying around the Danxue Mountains.
After meeting with Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang separately, she concealed herself, transformed into an ordinary bird, and stayed by the spirit field to watch Niu Fen teach her four new disciples to pull the plow.
After Ji Rong handed over her four new apprentices to Niu Fen, Niu Fen was overjoyed. He felt that he had finally returned to the life he had always dreamed of, so he generously paid out of his own pocket to make suitable large chainmail plows for his four junior sisters and brothers.
The reason for making this large chainmail plow was not because it was more efficient.
Rather, it was because this plowing artifact was the result of his many diligent trials, and the refiner of the sect made simple mechanisms and forks on the iron plate of the plow according to his requirements, and also added a fifth-generation finished product with a seed trough.
In this way, users only need to inject a large amount of spiritual energy to achieve the integration of loosening soil, weeding, and planting, making it the best choice for cultivators to farm.
However, because this item is engraved with a large number of array patterns, it requires a lot of spiritual energy and is very expensive to make. Apart from Niu Fen ordering a few for himself, not a single one has been sold. The sample is still hanging on Ji Zhi's artifact wall like an ornament.
On ordinary days, in the fields, Niu Fen would often stand up and passionately expound on the key points of planting, completely unaware that his junior brothers and sisters, whose cultivation levels were not high, not only had to resist the kingly aura he exuded, but also had to pull the heavy plow, making it impossible for them to inject any more spiritual energy into it.
At these times, Niu Fen would put on a pained expression and say, "Since you have become Lady Ji's disciples, you must be diligent. She doesn't support idle cultivators."
Back when I had just gained wisdom, I plowed the fields and planted spiritual plants for Lord Ji. If you learn to plow the fields well, Lord Ji will never abandon you.
Look at me. When Lady Ji was in the Witchcraft Department, I was there too. When she arrived at the Jade Void Palace, I soon followed. Now that she has moved to the Danxue Mountains, I have also been summoned there and have been given such a noble master as the Extreme Yang Immortal Lord.
..."
The four young cultivators were led up the mountain by Niu Fen. When they saw the fields covering the hillsides, they were filled with unease.
The last vestige of joy they felt at being accepted as disciples by a top-tier cultivator was completely dispelled by the heavy iron armor around their necks. Fortunately, they were of humble origin and lacked any real skill, so when they heard Niu Fen's words and were given a full meal, they believed him.
After Shan and Yu had eaten the spiritual herbs for three days, they couldn't take it anymore and, with a pained expression, raised their paws to ask Niu Fen for meat.
Niu Fen wasn't picky about the food and drink of the younger ones. Since Shan He made that request, meat had been included in their meals.
They were able to eat their fill and learn new skills; so, after only a few days together, the four junior cultivators genuinely called Niu Fen their senior brother.
Ji Rong observed for more than ten days and saw that Niu Fen's four newly acquired disciples were farming in a down-to-earth manner. Apart from boasting about himself, there was nothing particularly wrong with them. So Ji Rong did not show himself, turned around and flew away to Longfeng Mountain.
