Chapter 482 Improvement (2)
Qing Tanzi exclaimed excitedly, "Senior brother, this, this is... the ancestral tree! I never imagined you had such a precious tree."
Such a treasure should be forged by me into the finest artifact under heaven.
Senior brother, thank you for the gift!
As soon as Qing Tanzi finished speaking, she multiplied herself into ten and pounced on Ji Rong.
These "purification jars" each held different ritual implements, their faces contorted in a ferocious manner.
"Bang, clap, clap, clap, bang..." Qingpingzi stood upright, standing on auspicious clouds, blocking Ji Rong's path.
He grabbed the whisk with his right paw and started hitting the "clear jars" with it, while his left paw was also busy hitting them.
Each palm strike landed precisely between the bones of the clear jar, and with each strike, one of the clones vanished.
The wind howled and the rain poured down until only a clear jar remained.
Qingpingzi then folded his left hand back and infused his whisk with spiritual energy.
The silk threads on the whisk, stimulated by spiritual energy, burst forth with dazzling white light. They resembled long worms, covering Qing Tanzi's dark head and growing longer and longer.
The silk thread crawled into Qing Tanzi's blood-red eye slits and emerged from her mind. At that moment, Qing Pingzi's cold voice entered Qing Tanzi's ears, saying, "Gao Tan, wake up. This is your junior sister, not just the ancestral tree."
Ji Rong turned her head to watch them fight, and the roots on her body also turned to the side. She said, "Senior brother, hurry up, or we won't be able to get this job done."
"Okay!" Qingpingzi replied.
He shouted at Qing Tanzi, "Master said that those who kill each other among their fellow disciples should be chopped up and sent to Elder Shen to be used as spiritual fertilizer. Qing Tan, do you want to go?"
Qing Tanzi was already too weak to fight back, so he could only plead, "Senior brother, I surrender. Please put away your magic weapon and let me go."
Qingpingzi released Qingtanzi, but Qingtanzi's eyes still burned as it looked at Ji Rong's tree trunk.
Ji Rong spoke up, "Senior Sister Gaotan, do you think your immortal body is stronger, or my tree body is more powerful?"
Having said that, she used her thick roots to send Qing Tanzi and Qing Pingzi into deep space. She said, "Senior sister, the chain of order is above. Go and take a look."
In the deep space, Ji Rong waved the remaining golden roots and moved them in the air. The chains of order lit up one by one in front of Qing Tanzi, like lights hidden in the air.
Before long, a great golden light appeared in the deep sky.
Qingpingzi pointed to the manifestation of the rules here and said to Qingtanzi, "High Altar, this is a rare opportunity. Look, Junior Sister is consuming a lot of spiritual energy using the Treasure Tree here."
With Qingpingzi's reminder, Qingtanzi regained his senses and quickly suppressed his greed, looking up to carefully examine the inscription.
A celestial being in the form of a girl materialized beneath Ji Rong's roots. Every moment, it would blow out the spirit crystal residue from the jar and replenish it with new crystals.
Ji Rong let them watch for a day and a night, then used her roots to wake Qing Tanzi and Qing Pingzi, who were deeply immersed in the mysteries of the rules, saying, "It's time to go back, wake up quickly."
Qingpingzi had already read the knowledge here more than twice, so for him it was just a matter of reviewing the old to learn the new. He spent the whole day just pointing out things to Qingtanzi.
Ji Rong called out, and he woke up, grabbing onto the auspicious cloud that was still muttering to itself, nodding and wagging its tail as it returned to the high sky.
When they descended to the ground, Qing Tanzi had already lost interest in Ji Rong's living tree trunk. She looked at the sky and said happily to Qing Pingzi, "Senior brother, our world is truly vast. I've said before that for those who cultivate artifacts, their greatest treasure is themselves."
"Senior brother, what do you think if I refine this realm, merge my body with the heavens, and mend the spirit of this realm?"
Qingpingzi tapped her on the head with his whisk and said, "Listen to me, and properly cultivate the Dao of Spatial Inscriptions."
"Once you've seen the breathtaking scenery of the outer heavens, just like we have, and still want to make this decision, I won't stop you."
Ji Rong also said, "Senior Sister, the Outer Heavens are even larger. If you want to refine a realm as a vessel for yourself, why not choose a larger one?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Tanzi replied, "Junior Sister, I have already become an immortal, and this world is very suitable for me. If it were too big, I'm afraid my body wouldn't be big enough to handle it."
Ji Rong smiled and said, "Senior sister, there are also differences in cultivation levels among immortals. You have just embarked on the path of immortality, and your future is very bright. It's not too late to think about this issue after you have seen the scenery of the Outer Heavens."
Qing Tanzi remained silent, letting Qing Pingzi take her to Qing Yangzi. But Ji Rong knew that Qing Tanzi would come to her senses.
Because as long as something is alive, whether it is a mortal cultivator or a deity or an alien being, it will have desires.
This desire is neither good nor evil, but one of the important factors that drives the world to function.
Sure enough, just two days later, Qing Tanzi, with a normal expression, approached Ji Rong and Qing Pingzi to discuss the mysteries of the inscriptions on the chains of order, in order to finalize the connection between the new magic weapon and the inscription space.
After listening carefully to Ji Rong and Qing Pingzi's insights, Qing Tanzi went into seclusion again.
Seeing that Qing Tanzi was diligently refining materials and releasing spiritual energy to organize the veins of the new magic weapon, Qing Pingzi and Ji Rong returned to the Jade Void Mountain Range with peace of mind.
In the Jade Void Mountains, Wu Hao, the head of the Talisman Dao, has achieved another success.
Eager to prove his abilities, he has worked incredibly hard over the years, leading his fellow students who were willing to follow him.
When Ji Rong saw him again, with dry eyes, taking out a stack of new talismans as if they were precious treasures, she couldn't help but wonder if she and Qing Pingzi had said something too harsh, to the point that this junior disciple was risking his life.
So she spoke up to comfort him, saying, "Hao, although we cultivators are physically strong, if you keep exhausting yourself and stop cultivating, you will also fall prematurely. Your research speed can be slowed down a bit; we can afford to wait."
Wu Hao nodded in agreement, but privately he didn't think so, continuing to do things his own way and work hard.
Having learned from his previous experience, he was determined to have his senior master Qingpingzi completely sever his lineage before Qingdongzi came out.
Ji Rong and Qing Pingzi saw it all, but they couldn't understand his urgency.
They could only ensure that the materials needed to refine the talismans were sufficient, and also asked the old Taoist Gu Lin to add some health-preserving pills to Wu Hao and the others' daily food to make them more comfortable.
As night fell and the full moon rose over Jade Void Palace, the Primordial Goddess once again arrived uninvited in her chariot atop the cloud-covered cliff.
Tonight, Yuanjun was exceptionally radiant. After hundreds of years, the black spots on his face and tail were even more prominent, resembling black holes, making him look like a ferocious and dark beast.
His voice remained cold and clear. He did not dismount from the carriage, but looked at Ji Rong and asked, "I have been watching you every day. The road to heaven on Haiya Mountain is getting better and better. How much longer will it take before we can go out and take a look?"
Ji Rong said, "There is still one thing that has not been installed yet. Once it is installed a second time, we can go beyond this realm."
Yuanjun nodded and said, "Good." Then, the radiance around Him intensified, and countless fireflies emerged from the light, guarding His carriage as He drifted away.
