Chapter 477 Test (1)
After sleeping for many days and nights, Ji Rong finally woke up. She flapped her wings to expel the weakness in her body while recalling her drunken dream, but gained very little.
She stepped out of the Shoudao Palace, breathed in the fresh air, and stared blankly at a newly sprouted grass seedling at her feet.
This drunken stupor wasn't entirely without its benefits. At least, when Ji Rong truly woke up, she clearly understood that she had also been dependent on others in the past.
She relied on the great tree within her body, which provided her with a vast amount of knowledge. She passively accepted this knowledge, to the point that she believed it to be omniscient and omnipotent, and never thought of innovating.
Ji Rong thought to herself, the spatial Dao she deduced did not seem to match her wishes, not because it was wrong, nor because it was incomplete.
Rather, it was because the limited knowledge had been exhausted, and the development had reached a point where Ji Rong needed to create on her own.
"This is a good thing!"
Ji Rong thought to himself, "The future is unpredictable. Since there is no suitable path, we should forge one."
The repair of the earth's veins and water veins in Kyushu was based on established methods, which is why the repairs were carried out quickly.
However, no one had any experience with breaking through the Heaven-Breaking Stage of the Great Dao of Space.
After much deliberation, Ji Rong decided to temporarily set aside the five layers of spatial inscriptions that had been weighing on his mind and go to Qingpingzi to discuss the Dao.
Qing Guanzi had been sleeping in the Shoudao Palace for a long time and was extremely bored. He had long wanted to go out for a walk. When he saw that Ji Rong was going to see Qing Pingzi, he happily followed her.
Because Ji Rong took away the tree trunk and went into seclusion to drink and dream, Qingpingzi has not been engaged in any divination for nearly a year.
He returned to the Dragon and Phoenix Hall to handle miscellaneous matters, and occasionally he would call Hei Tan in to explain some basic techniques.
Whenever he preached, Qingpingzi would only squat in front of the table and say it once. He didn't care whether the black-haired boys below could learn it or not.
The mediocre Hei Tan listened to Pingzi's sermon, and naturally, he couldn't understand nine out of ten sentences.
But he was optimistic by nature. When he didn't understand something, he neither got upset nor did he fall asleep. If he occasionally understood a sentence or gleaned a glimpse of something, he would cherish it as if he had found a treasure and go back to study it diligently.
As a result, his cultivation became more and more stable, and he acquired more magical skills. Seeing that he had a good character, Qingpingzi and the others couldn't help but think more highly of him and were more willing to teach him in their spare time.
Ji Rong rushed into the Dragon and Phoenix Palace and pulled Qingpingzi, who was preaching to Hei Tan, from beside the desk to the Source Regeneration Pool at the back of the palace.
She asked Qingpingzi, "Senior brother, we cultivators can gather Qi within our bodies because we have a spiritual platform, a Dao pill, and meridians that circulate throughout our bodies. Therefore, we can extract spiritual energy from the spiritual objects of heaven and earth to nourish ourselves, making ourselves stronger and delaying aging. So how can we cultivate the fifth level of the Dao of Space to this extent?"
Qingpingzi looked at Ji Rong and asked in surprise, "Junior Sister, you've been having a grand dream for a year. Could it be that you've gained some inspiration and want to switch to the Puppet Path to learn from the ancient gods and create living beings? Or do you want to refine this world into your own private domain?"
Ji Rong glared at him and said with displeasure, "Why are you looking at me like that, Senior Brother?"
Senior brother, we have always been troubled by the fact that once we break through the heavens, spiritual energy will dissipate, causing the spiritual energy here to be lost.
How can we preserve spiritual energy here even after the heavens have been destroyed?
Qingpingzi said, "Junior sister, we are living beings, while this world is a dead entity formed after the manifestation of rules. How can we compare?"
Ji Rong's mind sank, and he conjured an earth-yellow sphere from within himself, enveloping the tree trunk, and said, "Yes, senior brother, so we should innovate."
"Senior brother, look, the realm we live in is like this sphere. Five layers of heaven surround it, and beyond those five layers are chains of order, completely enveloping us and the spiritual energy within them. These chains of order are as transparent as water, not usually visible, which is why sunlight can penetrate into our realm."
No longer relying on what is already known, Ji Rong's mind regained its agility.
She looked at the ball in her hand, fiddled with it, and the fragments of memory in her mind overlapped to form a new picture. She said, "Senior brother, when I was in the Witchcraft Department, I saw the ruins of the restriction that they used their physical bodies to form a restriction. There was no spiritual energy in that restriction, and you could only rely on your cultivation to withstand it."
Therefore, we still need to cultivate our spatial path. Once we reach its peak, we can find a way to create a soft mirror-like entrance artifact in deep space and embed this mirror into the chain of order so that cultivators can enter and exit.
After that, we'll send Da Xiu out to collect waste planets, create soil, and pile up land to build a mortal realm, imitating the Great Witch's restrictions.
At that time, we can send ordinary cultivators to heaven and expand our realms.
Qingpingzi was shocked by Ji Rong's idea and lowered his eyes to think.
Qing Guanzi, standing to the side, raised his head and said, "Junior Sister, although you are the ruler of the realm and do not like extravagance, you have never spent more than a few days in the position of ruler. Over the years, you and your senior brother have been focused on the affairs of the Outer Heavens. Have you stopped caring about the internal affairs of the Nine Provinces?"
"What do I care?" Ji Rong said dismissively. "Senior Brother Guanshan, don't you think that Lord Jue and Lord Shanshui are doing a much better job than me? I just need to make them listen to me."
Furthermore, who says that the sovereign must sit in that chair and be worshipped by all races every day, repeatedly? I am not a creation of faith.”
After saying that, Ji Rong suddenly stretched her neck and whispered in Qing Pingzi's ear, "Senior brother, I told you before, there should be living beings in this world, not just in our realm. Perhaps there are also living beings in other places beyond the heavens."
"Just think how much knowledge they'll create—doesn't that excite you?"
Upon hearing this, Qingpingzi's eyes widened suddenly. He swallowed hard and asked, "Junior Sister, are you telling the truth?"
Ji Rong looked at Qing Pingzi, who was already interested, and nodded, saying, "There are so many galaxies and star seas in the outer heavens, and so many of them are shining. They can't all be dead, can they? If they are all dead, why are they shining? Where does the light come from?"
"Senior, are you in or not?"
"Let's do it!" Qingpingzi replied decisively.
Thanks to Ji Rongbaoshu, Qingpingzi has basically learned all the knowledge of this world, and the joy of learning is about to be lost.
Since he attained enlightenment and became the foremost immortal in this world, he has completed all the necessary writings, but his lifespan seems to have no end in sight.
Now Ji Rong has created another dream for him, even though he knows it's unreliable.
But what can he do? Only by seeking can he avoid being trapped in this body, which, though full of power, is also slowly decaying day by day.
With Qingpingzi's support, Ji Rong felt that the new plan was already half successful. They handed over Qing Guanzi, who was still struggling with oral desire, to Jiao Jue and Shan Shui, then packed their books and luggage and headed to Yuxu Palace.

After teaching the last part of the new inscriptions, Ji Rong and Qing Pingzi immediately urged everyone to master the engraving method of the entire set of inscriptions.
The process of recording is so precise that even a slight difference in depth or shallowness makes a huge difference; it requires absolute accuracy.
