Chapter 508 Manifestation
Ji Rong looked at the lotus root with sprouts and thought to herself that such a treasure should be allowed to take root and sprout more, so how could she eat it at this time?
She infused it with some spiritual energy, then buried it back in the Golden Lotus Pond, saying, "Lord Han, like Senior Yuanjun, I love living things. Please take good care of this lotus root for me. I will come back to retrieve it after I successfully advance."
After saying this, Ji Rong drifted away with the jade pendant.
Ji Rong is gone, gone cleanly and decisively! A great joy filled Han Jun's heart; he could finally get a good night's sleep!
He happily hummed an unknown, self-composed tune as he swam into the moon, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and fell into a blissful sleep.
A good night's sleep, without illusions or dreams.
——————
Ji Rong and Jiao Jue flew to the little red star and then landed inside.
This place is a ruined planet.
With the opening of many mining areas and the availability of more celestial bodies over the years, the soil on this little red star seems infertile, and it has remained idle.
In recent years, because Ji Rong is about to be promoted, Jiao Jue and Qing Pingzi were worried that she would turn into a tree on the spot, so they sealed this place off and used it specifically to store the food and supplies for Ji Rong's promotion.
All the surplus spirit crystals from the various mines outside the region are piled up on this little red star;
Currently, there are forty-five large piles of spirit crystals on Little Red Star, each mountain being three hundred feet high.
For years, Qingpingzi has been guarding this vast wealth on this little red star.
Upon landing and meeting Qingpingzi, Ji Rong asked, "Brother, Senior Brother Wanfa, is it safe here? For the past few years, I've always felt an itch inside my body; I'm afraid I'll grow much taller."
Jiao Jue nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Bai can cover you within 200,000 miles."
Two hundred thousand miles away, your senior brother has already set up an array to protect you.
They landed on a star filled with spirit crystals.
Then, Jiaojue transformed into a magic dragon. It swept its tail and scratched on a spirit crystal mountain, and soon pulled out a large purple-gold jar with two ears that was more than ten feet long.
The jar was filled with spirit crystals; on the two handles outside the jar, there were thick double-knotted ropes with flowing inscriptions, and a black iron chain engraved with various array patterns lay horizontally in front of the jar.
Above the large purple-gold vat, dense gray clouds covered the area, with four small dragons wielding power weaving through them, almost blending into the sky; one would not be able to distinguish them unless viewed up close.
Jiaojue transformed into a magic dragon, made hand seals with its claws, and chanted a spell. The jar grew ten times larger. Jiaojue darted into the jar, looped the outermost iron chain around its neck, and then slipped its claws onto the ropes binding its ears, saying, "Dumb bird, let's begin."
Ji Rong took a deep breath and said happily, "Thank you, brother! I don't have to suppress myself anymore. I'll begin now."
She flew into the large vat, and roots sprouted wildly from her body, swirling towards the spirit crystals inside.
Roll up the spirit crystal and extract its spiritual energy.
Throwing away the waste materials, all in one go.
As a massive amount of spiritual energy was absorbed, Ji Rong's bird body was gradually swallowed up by the tree trunk. Then, the tree trunk rapidly grew taller, sprouted branches, forked, and blossomed leaves.
Large, emerald-gold leaves sprouted one after another at the top of the tree canopy, spreading out.
The roots absorbed the spiritual energy and sent it to Ji Rong's spiritual platform. They quickly condensed into liquid there and then flowed into Ji Rong's meridians like a gentle stream.
More and more spiritual energy is coming in from outside, and its flow rate is getting faster and faster;
When there is too much spiritual energy, it cannot be gathered on the spiritual platform and will disperse outward.
In just ten days, Ji Rong's outer side was filled with rich spiritual energy. With just a wave of her claw, the spiritual energy could be seen gathering into drops and falling to the ground.
Often at this point, the nearby spirit crystals would be exhausted, and Jiao Jue would then pull the purple-gold vat to the next location.
In the void, there is neither day nor night, and everything that can be seen moves along its own trajectory, unchanging and constant.
With Ji Rong's three bodies merged into one, she had no more scruples and extracted spirit crystals at an unprecedented speed. Jiao Jue had no choice but to carry her and rush forward at high speed.
After passing through sixteen giant mountain spirit crystals, Jiao Jue felt that the giant tree on his back had become twice as heavy, so he reduced his speed to running.
Upon reaching the twenty-ninth giant mountain spirit crystal, Jiao Jue felt that Ji Rong was more than ten times heavier than before, and he had to slow down and change from running to dragging.
After passing the thirty-seventh giant mountain spirit crystal, Jiao Jue felt strained from dragging it, so it slowed down again and started pulling it along. On the purple-gold vat, the inscriptions flickered, and it looked like it was about to fall apart.
Ji Rong's absorption rate of spiritual energy finally slowed down, giving Jiao Jue a lot of time to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and catch his breath.
After passing the forty-first Giant Mountain Spirit Crystal, the sky above was so quiet it was as if space itself had stopped.
Even though there was no wind or current in this outer realm, Ji Rong's exposed roots all involuntarily headed eastward.
This is not normal! Just as Ji Rong was thinking this, she heard a series of slight breaking sounds above. She followed the branches and looked up, and saw that the inscription array set up by Qing Pingzi had all broken.
She immediately extended several thick tree roots, which wrapped around Qingpingzi, who was still drawing an impregnable defense, and shouted, "Big brother, something is coming! Quickly bring Abai, Ajin, Alan, and Ahong and surround me!"
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue's pupils contracted, and it immediately coiled around the base of Ji Rong's tree trunk.
With a "bang," the purple-gold vat beneath Ji Rong's roots shattered inch by inch. The enormous suction force from the east was like a dark maw, devouring everything it sucked in. Ji Rong's exposed roots all swaggered towards the east.
She quickly inserted the main root into the soil, and saw stars rapidly collapsing and annihilating in front of her, while countless loose soils were drawn to the dark place and flew towards her.
They crashed straight down onto Ji Rong's tree trunk, then quickly disappeared into that unseen maw.
The dark and mysterious eeriness has not yielded even a trace, but I only want to take everything I see into my possession;
Ji Rong's tree trunk was still growing, and her roots had already been forced into the soil, so she no longer needed to absorb spiritual energy from the outside.
Ji Rong's spiritual platform collapsed into fragments once again, this time boundless, as if it were a void.
Bound deep within the leaves by Ji Rong, Jiao Jue peered out through the gaps, squinting and remaining silent. After a long while, he extended a claw and pressed it against Qing Pingzi's tail above, asking, "Ancestral Tree, what exactly is it? Does it really grow in the Nine Provinces Realm? Or did it drift down from the void beyond the realm?"
Outside, Ji Rong was locked in a stalemate with that mysterious dark place. After only a short while, the suction suddenly stopped, and everything returned to calm.
But that wasn't the end of it. Soon, the stars, dragging their enormous tails, hurtled toward the little red star at breakneck speed.
"Bang, bang, bang..." They all crashed onto the little red star, igniting the spiritual energy that Ji Rong was emitting. The spiritual fire ignited the tips of Ji Rong's branches, forcing her to take root deeper. Just as she was determined to dive down, she suddenly heard Jiao Jue say, "Silly bird, quickly release us!"
Ji Rong thought to herself, "Fine, if we stay together, we might just end up burning to ashes again."
He then released Jiaojue and Qingpingzi, and Qingpingzi flew back into the deep sky to block Liuhuo.
Jiaojue glanced at the towering flames, and the four little dragons of power understood his intention. Ah Bai used the water-moving technique to make ice rain fall on Little Red Star.
Ajin helps Qingpingzi;
Alan and Ahong created a huge lightning net above Ji Rong to intercept the small fireballs left behind by Qingpingzi.
