Chapter 490 Talisman (2)
Then they saw the statue enveloped in mist and rapidly ascend into the sky.
The cultivators never expected such a scene. One by one, they flew up, preparing to catch Ling Xiaozi's statue.
Qing Dongzi continued to mutter curses under his breath as he rode the clouds.
"What kind of behavior is this! Get down here!" Qingpingzi frowned and shouted, "Wu Hao is demonstrating his talismanic arts; do not disturb him."
He looked at the throng of heads beside him and said, "Jin Xi, fly up and watch, be a witness."
Record everything: how high they flew, and whether any of the cloud talismans were loose or inactive.
Jin Xi accepted the order and left.
When Jin Xi flew up to look, Ling Xiaozi's statue was flying up to the second level of heaven. The speed talisman on its body had dissipated, and it was slowly falling down. Because the cloud talismans around it were dissipating and the mist was spreading, it was as if it was walking down through the air.
Wu Hao looked up at the sky. His body was soaked in sweat, but his heart was unusually calm. He silently counted the number of cloud runes in his mind. When the statue steadily returned to the cloud, he felt relieved and sat down on the cloud, laughing heartily.
Wu Hao succeeded.
From then on, talismans could be used as a means of communication, and there were no more constraints.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators all came over to congratulate Wu Hao. Qing Pingzi looked at Qing Zhizi and said with satisfaction, "Junior Sister Duomu, you have indeed inherited Master's puppetry skills and carried them forward."
Qingzhizi said respectfully, "Senior brother, you flatter me. I am truly unworthy of such praise." After saying this, she grabbed the whisk, raised her feet above her head, and said, "Senior brother, I should return it to its rightful owner."
Qingpingzi shook his head and said, "You have already mastered the Immortal Puppet Dao and can control your master's statue. You can handle this whisk. From now on, the puppet realm in this Octagonal Palace will be yours."
Upon hearing this, Qingzhizi quickly got up and put away her whisk, saying, "Senior brother, you must keep your word, or you'll regret it."
Qingpingzi thought to himself that the outer heavens were boundless and that he didn't even know if he would ever come back after going up there, so what was there to regret?
He then said, "Duomo, when have I ever broken my word?"
Logically, this Octagonal Palace should not be in charge of someone of your generation, but should be in charge of your junior disciple Yi Tong. However, Yi Tong's puppetry skills are not as good as yours.
You are her master, so it's fine to give it to you.
Gu Lin is kind and honest by nature, and it is not easy for him to manage the sects that have been separated from our Jade Void Palace.
"The reason I put you in charge of the Octagonal Palace is that I hope you will support him while inheriting the puppet realm. Don't act like your senior uncle."
Kiyoko happily clenched her fists and bowed to Kiyohei, saying, "Don't worry, senior brother, I will protect my junior nephew."
Kiyoko was kind and generous to her subordinates, kept her promises and valued her reputation; once she made a promise, she would definitely keep it.
Qingpingzi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now that you've agreed, I'm relieved."
Then, he handed another whisk to Gu Lin and explained to him in detail how to use the Cloud Cliff.
From then on, Qingpingzi had relinquished all ties to Yuxu Palace, both inside and out, and was no longer burdened by anything.
————————
After performing the meridian-opening ceremony for Wu Hao, Ji Rong and Qing Pingzi didn't linger and headed towards the Danxue Mountains with the supreme throne.
Since one must ascend to heaven, one must select a reliable and capable successor and make careful arrangements before going in peace;
Otherwise, leaving only the mountains and rivers would be too much of a burden for Him.
Inside the Dragon and Phoenix Hall, just as Jiao Jue and Shan Shui dismissed the officials from various regions, they heard Hei Tan outside extend a dragon's head into the hall, squinting and grinning as he said, "Lord Jue, Lord Ji and the Immortal Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws have arrived. Would you like to see them?"
"Of course I want to see him." Jiao Jue looked up at Hei Tang, who was grinning fiercely, and couldn't help but correct him, "I told you to smile, not to be fierce. Don't grin so high, your cheekbones are sticking up."
Upon hearing this, Hei Tang quickly pursed his pointed lips slightly. This made his cheeks look lower, but it looked extremely fake. However, Jiao Jue had no intention of correcting him anymore, because Ji Rong and Qing Pingzi, who were carrying chairs, came in.
After arranging the chairs and closing the palace doors, Ji Rong flapped his wings and circled around the large pillar in the palace, saying, "Big brother, the Outer Heaven is rich in mineral deposits, with everything imaginable. Let's go up and dig together."
After saying that, she looked at the mountains and rivers and said, "Once the road is repaired, we'll figure out how to get the Mountain and River God to go up as well."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue narrowed his eyes and asked, "You found a spirit crystal vein? And the road above it is repaired?"
Ji Rong laughed and said, "The road can't be repaired so quickly. We're almost out of materials and there's a famine going on."
I didn't actually find this spirit crystal vein; it was Yuanjun who pointed it out to me. He also said that if he didn't awaken in three hundred years, he would have us replenish the source flow in his territory so that a new Moon Lord would awaken.
Brother, you don't know, that's an entire star. What we have in the pool right now is definitely not enough. Even if we had some, we couldn't possibly draw it from this pool; that would drain the entire Nine Provinces.
So I thought we should go dig first.
Upon hearing this, Jiaojue flicked its tail and said, "The road isn't even finished yet, what are you going to mine? I've heard that most of those places don't have any spiritual energy."
"Once the road is open, we can bring back some good soil and leave it here to refine slowly."
Ji Rong shook his head in mid-air and said, "Brother, this is too much trouble."
The reason I've come to tell you this is that after finding a spirit crystal vein in the Outer Heavens, I want to build another Source Pool. With a source pool, Senior Brother Gao Yang and the others can then refine weapons, draw arrays, and build mountains and fields in the Outer Heavens.”
Jiaojue sneered, "Colorful Bird, how long do you plan to be a tree? One year, ten years, or a thousand years?"
I've heard that the place up there is nothing like our Nine Provinces. Even the Mountain and Water Gods can't go up there, and there are no Hundred Sons to open your meridians for you.
If you bury yourself in that kind of wasteland, and after a long time you can't be pulled back, you can expect to be cut down and uprooted like the ancestral tree of the past.
The mountain and water that had been silent spoke up: "Lord Ji, although I have never been up there, I must say that without the natural world to grow, the source and flow are difficult to form. We should build the road first."
"Sigh." Seeing everyone say this, Ji Rong sighed, "Do any of you have a better idea?"
Jiao Jue said in a deep voice, "This road still needs to be repaired first. The cultivators of the Nine Provinces have been waiting for too long. If we don't show them anything for a long time, they will no longer be so obedient."
Ji Rong said, "Brother, who wants to rebel? Although the road to the heavens is not completely repaired, the Ascension Platform is usable."
Jiao Jue tossed a wooden scroll to Ji Rong, saying with annoyance, "Look, they've all come to ask, some more than once."
Ji Rong opened the wooden book and saw that it was full of powerful clans. An idea came to her mind, and she smiled again and said, "Everyone, I have an immature idea."
To be honest, we once issued two thousand orders to the Common Ruler.
"Or, we could tell them tomorrow that any tribes with Ascension Orders in their claws who can't wait can go up to heaven first. Once there are a hundred of them, they can go, and I'll personally escort them. However, the trip is quite expensive, and after they've seen it, they'll have to return their tokens."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue immediately added, "That's right. After we get up there, we'll take back their signs and sell them again to get some treasure to strengthen the Heavenly Road."
