Chapter 511 Manifestation (4)
Horned Jade also stretched out its claws to touch the floating soil above the void. Although the soil was close at hand, it was far away in the sky. No matter how hard it tried, it could not reach it.
So He lowered His head to drink from the source of the water, but no matter how deep He plunged His head, He could not reach the surface of the lake of the source.
"This is outrageous!" Jiao Jue turned his head to look behind him and found that the four little dragons of power had not followed him in, which was unusual. He thought to himself that everything here was abnormal and that this was not the real world.
With a change of heart, she looked at the bird above and said, "Ji Rong, you are truly a cunning bird. Now that the Heavenly Path is open and your disciples have come looking for you, you are hiding in the tree trunk, slacking off! How long do you intend to remain a tree!"
Then Ji Rong's bird body and celestial body laughed loudly towards the void. After that, golden light emanated from the bird's body, and it flew into the void, like a golden sun.
That day, the human body reached up with both hands, and countless tiny threads appeared from her tightly clenched hands, connecting with the floating soil in the void. They said in unison, "It is not that we are being lazy. Among the three bodies, the bird body is the most immature, and the tree body is the most old. The two cannot support each other. Only when the myriad realms of the heavens are established can we achieve balance."
After saying that, the human body loosened the string in its hand and jumped onto the bird's back. They said in unison again, "Now that you've finished watching, go back."
Jiaojue and Qingpingzi felt their vision go black again. When they opened their eyes again, they were still deep in the mine, and Ji Rong's tree trunk still had a protruding bird beak on it.
She retracted the roots binding Jiaojue and Qingpingzi one by one, and said proudly, "I am not suitable to go out in my current state."
Once the dozen or so stars transform into a realm like the Nine Provinces, sharing the weight of the tree, I can return to my original form.
Qingpingzi then asked, "Junior sister, when can I retrieve this whisk?"
Ji Rong said, "The materials used in this whisk are all of excellent quality, making it very suitable as a backup for me."
"Senior brother, you always said that after you passed away, you would give me all your treasures and magical artifacts; now, why don't you give them to me ahead of time, and I'll let you see the endless Dao above the void, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, Qingpingzi was not as happy as usual, but there was no turning back now, so he had no choice but to accept it.
Jiao Jue squinted and said, "Ji Rong, could you shrink your size a bit more? This place is a mining area after all, not suitable for you to stay for long. You should go and keep Han Jun company."
Ji Rong did as instructed and shrank the tree trunk to a height of ten feet, saying, "This is the smallest it can be; it cannot be any smaller."
Thinking of the Great Spirit Lake with its three sides connected in one place that he had seen in the illusory realm, Jiao Jue took a deep breath, picked it up, and said through gritted teeth, "You are incredibly heavy!"
"Oh dear," Ji Rong said matter-of-factly, "Big brother really doesn't try hard enough!"
"When you became emperor, I risked my bones to carry you back to the Land of Witches. Now you complain I'm too heavy? Fine, let me grow here and let the void swallow me whole."
Jiao Jue placed Ji Rong aside and said solemnly, "It's not that I can't carry you, it's just that the source of my power is limited now. I simply can't carry you across the starry river with my physical body alone. Tell me, what exactly was the calamity that day?"
Ji Rong said solemnly, "They are the mouths of the void, the laborers of this place. They not only devour the debris in the void, but also transport stars and clean up foreign objects."
The mysteries within are difficult to explain and cannot be fully described. I will send them to you to see for yourselves, and then you will understand.
Having said that, Ji Rong waved her roots, which attached themselves to the heads of Jiao Jue and Qing Pingzi. Layers of tiny, pure gold leaves rapidly grew and enlarged, wrapping them up in a giant golden cocoon.
An ocean of knowledge unfolded before their eyes, captivating and drawing them in.
A grain of sand contains a world; a leaf contains a Bodhi tree.
The mind holds endless paths, and a moment becomes eternity;
What is the Ancestral Tree? Where did it come from? Perhaps it evolved from the void.
In their eyes, Ji Rong was no longer there; instead, there were clear lines of veins, like a grid, that filled the void and illuminated it like lamps.
Each world, like a fruit, rests on its branches, grows, and leaves its mark, forming a dazzling galaxy.
The void is boundless, and turbulent currents are everywhere;
Fire often streaks down from the trees, and dust often carries away those boundaries that are not firmly attached, flowing towards the unknown distance.
Every moment, countless creatures wailed, their cries causing the branches of the giant tree to tremble violently.
As a result, the tree's roots grew deeper and deeper, enclosing these boundaries within its roots. When the roots were no longer sufficient, it used its branches to pierce through each boundary, fixing it within the branches.
For those pierced boundaries, this was a catastrophe;
The heavens and earth were pierced and spiritual energy was leaked out in large quantities. If the beings in these realms do not take action, their world will be reduced to mortal land.
The once-protective tree has become a thorny branch piercing the world, and it must be removed.
Fire, flood...
Branches broke, the giant tree fell, and clusters of white light overflowed from its core, vying to drift away;
But the void supported by the giant tree had already begun to collapse, so how could these orbs of light escape?
The collapsing void, like a gaping maw, swallowed all the starry wasteland here and spat it into another galaxy.
They "saw" dozens of stars that were merely held in place by roots, not pierced, and that they still shone faintly with golden light in another galaxy.
Soon, these lights attracted a group of huge, strangely shaped gods who descended into the Milky Way to retrieve and fight over them. Once they obtained one, they would immediately open their mouths wide with joy and suck it dry as if eating fruit, before throwing it out of the Milky Way.
But a hunched figure picked up a large clump of glowing matter. He grabbed a piece of golden root floating in the air, then snatched a star that shone brightly with golden light. He compared it to his own and touched it, then loudly proclaimed, "This is my resting place. Anyone who steals it will perish!" Then he pushed the glowing star and went into the distance.
When it could no longer be pushed, it stopped and enveloped itself in a ball of white light.
Then His form continued to shrink, He took out the tree root, brushed aside the golden veins clinging to the star, and leaped into the mist...
Just then, Ji Rong's voice came from within the mist. She said smugly, "Big brother, senior brother, how is my story in this illusory realm going?"
Then the thick fog suddenly dissipated, and thousands of Ji Rongs looked up below, chattering excitedly: "Hahaha, what do you think of my virtual realm construction?"
Before Jiaojue and Qingpingzi could even speak, the scene shifted again, this time to the outer realms.
Above the void stood a giant tree radiating golden light. This giant tree was pierced by countless black and white vortexes, each containing a dazzling sea of stars. They leaned against the giant tree, connected end to end, and finally formed a dark sky.
