Chapter 67 Planning
After saying that, Feng Qing bit a hole in his own skin, revealing white spiritual light that looked like lines inside.
At some point, it somehow developed veins that connected this physical body.
Gu Qingqing had no choice but to pick up Feng Qing again and repair her.
As darkness fell, the horned jaguar, back in the tree, formed a hand seal with its front paws and shouted, "Retract!" The iron ring that had bound Ji Rong returned to its paws.
With a single sweep of its tail, Jiaojue knocked Ji Rong off the tree. Ji Rong lay on the tree, deep in thought, and after much contemplation, she came to understand many things.
Ji Rong, now free, chirped happily, and Ji Zhuang quickly flew up to call her.
He originally wanted to tease Ji Rong, but remembering his past record, he kicked Ji Rong in mid-air instead.
Ji Zhuang didn't control his strength well, and Ji Rong lost her balance, flapping her wings and falling to the ground.
"younger sister!"
As soon as Ji Zhuang kicked out, he knew the force was too great, but it was too late.
"Brother," Ji Rong shook off the dust and called out in a sinister tone, "Come here."
Ji Zhuang did as he was told and ran off.
Ji Rong spread her wings and slapped Ji Zhuang so hard that he fell flat on his back.
After smoothing out the fur on his body, Ji Rong entered their new cave dwelling; inside, Gu Qingqing was diligently repairing Feng Qing.
The cave was small, and it felt very crowded once Ji Rong entered.
Ji Zhuang then gave up the cave and, being considerate, made a simple shelter next to the cave and slept in the open air.
Night fell and all was quiet, but Jiaojue couldn't sleep.
Bored out of his mind, he could only count his treasures until late at night, but he still hadn't finished.
Jiaojue felt deeply satisfied with his wealth before falling asleep peacefully.
But living off one's wealth is not something a dragon like Jiaojue can accept. He can't return to the Temple of War, but he still has to continue his affluent life. Otherwise, what hope is there for his entire dragon career?
After waking up from a nap, Jiao Jue felt that the Mirror Spirit might not be so bad for him after all, and he might even be able to obtain more rare treasures because of it.
Upon thinking of this, Jiao Jue immediately pictured himself wandering around the Mountain of Rare Treasures, and wished he could immediately call the Mirror Spirit Feng Qing to go mining.
Feng Qing, who has awakened again, also has his own ideas.
It was originally a remnant of the will of the primordial god, which was captured by the ancient gods, disassembled, refined, and enslaved for many years.
The blood of the entire Demon King Huang Wen awakened this wisp of causal will within it, giving it autonomy, and by a twist of fate, it became the fox it is today.
This clearly goes against the original intention of the primordial god, whether it was his or the other gods'.
"Fortunately, there is the ancestral tree."
Feng Qing thought to himself.
It is only a small part of the will of cause and effect, and can no longer evolve the world like the goddess.
The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. The moment it saw Ji Rong, it knew that the Ancestral Tree was inside its body.
As long as we follow Ji Rong, we can carry on the legacy of the progenitor god.
The ancestral tree needs spiritual veins to grow.
But with its own power, the ancestral tree will surely find the spiritual vein.
A greedy and strong dragon is an excellent laborer.
Feng Qingshun limped out of the cave to find Jiaojue. Ji Rong looked at the slow-moving little fox and felt a rare pang of pity.
She picked it up and placed it around her neck, then flew up the tree to find the horned jade.
Their purposes are different, but their needs are the same.
When Jiao Jue saw that it was Feng Qing who had come, he thought of the treasures all over the mountain and happily circled around the tree, saying, "Karma Mirror, what brings you here to see me?"
Feng Qing lifted its foot to look at its own paw pad. Although it had little emotion, it instinctively loathed the name "Causal Mirror".
It looked at Jiaojue and said in a serious tone, "I am now a fox, and I have a name. My name is Feng Qing."
Jiao Jue had a favor to ask, so he readily agreed: "Feng Qing, little fox, do you know where there are rare treasures?"
"I don't know," Feng Qing replied mechanically, "but I'll find out later."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Jue narrowed his eyes and said, "How do you want me to know?"
"You'll find out by following the ancestral tree."
"That little bird?"
"right."
After saying that, Feng Qing walked away step by step, leaving Jiao Jue, a dragon, alone coiled around the tree, lost in thought.
While Jiaojue was living a peaceful life and contemplating the birth of the dragon after escaping into the seal of the Wu tribe, things were far from peaceful outside.
Zhan Shi's ascension to the throne on the reef island was very smooth. Although the spiritual energy on the island was mixed, he already had a solid foundation and was only one step away from advancing.
With the bestowal of a supreme elixir by Emperor Rong, he recovered remarkably well.
Having been promoted to emperor, Zhan Shi, wielding his war spear, symbolically chose a large island belonging to the Lich Clan, casually stabbing to death a dozen or so henchmen who charged at him, before returning to the Temple of War to report back.
Yi Nu was surprised that Jiao Jue had not returned with him. Zhan Shi replied calmly, "Xiao Xiong's advancement was sudden. He and Huang Wen from the Heavenly Fate Palace went to avoid him, so he will probably be back later. I came back first."
Then, Zhan Shi continued, "Lady Yi, I will be going to Liangzhou soon. Do you have any soldiers, cavalry, or provisions?"
"some."
The swift victory pleased Yi Nu greatly. Liangzhou had been urging her for generals for years, and the women had been receiving gifts from demon kings who didn't want to go to Liangzhou. They were so overwhelmed with gifts that they had run out of money to accept them all.
The maiden flew down and generously took out three storage rings that she had prepared beforehand, handing them to Zhan Shi and saying, "These are to congratulate you, General."
The provisions, supplies, and cavalry are all available in Liangzhou. Go back to Zhuyun Mountain to pack your things, and then hurry to your post.”
Zhan Shi accepted the storage ring, cupped his hands in a simple manner, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Divine Servant. This humble general will take his leave."
Then, he went around to the entrance of the Temple of the God of War. Jiao Jue had told him that Di Rong usually handled affairs inside the temple at this time.
Zhan Shi arrived outside the hall, said nothing, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times with a loud "bang, bang, bang" before quickly retreating.
Just as Zhan Shi turned to ride the cloud, a servant came out of the temple to look for him, but he was too late. He only saw Zhan Shi's back as he rode away on the cloud with his spear on his back.
The attendant returned to the palace to report, and the tall deity smiled and said, "Pass on my order: increase the grain and provisions for Liangzhou by 30%, so that Zhan Shi can live well."
——————
The moment the Mirror of Cause and Effect shattered, all the mirrors in the mirror room shimmered with colorful light.
Crane Boy, who was guarding the mirror room, was quite bored and was drinking and playing when he saw this strange phenomenon. He was so frightened that he immediately reported it.
However, after several divine servants from the Heavenly Mandate Palace arrived and examined the Fate Mirrors one by one, they found nothing unusual.
The Divine Attendant in charge of the Mirror Room scolded the Crane Boy in the Mirror Room, saying, "You're incorrigible, you've been drinking yourself into a stupor; go back to your clan's territory, and don't let me see you in the Heavenly Mandate Palace again!"
Crane Boy had no choice but to roll up his meager belongings and put them into his storage ring before slinking back to his clan's territory.
A month after the Mirror of Cause and Effect shattered, the newly appointed Mirror Chamber Pearl Boy, who was in charge of fate, finally finished reading through the files of all the mirrors, large and small, and discovered that one of the Great Mirrors of Cause and Effect was still missing.
The Temple of War had already held a farewell banquet for Zhan Shi, but Huang Wen, who had received the Mirror of Fate as a help, had not yet returned, which was abnormal.
The Pearl Boy reported this to the Divine Attendant of Fate, who then realized that a mistake had been made.
Siyuan is different from other divine attendants. It can take charge of such an important place as the Mirror Room because it was transformed from the eye on the forehead of the Heavenly Mandate Lord.
Although it is a divine servant, it can arrange all matters in the Heavenly Mandate Palace when the Heavenly Mandate Lord is not present. Its status in the Heavenly Mandate Palace is second only to the Heavenly Mandate Lord.
But time can make gods selfish, and naturally it can also make Si Yuan develop her own ideas. The heart that it differentiated from already contains more than just Tianmingjun, but Tianmingjun is unaware of this.
Because the Heavenly Mandate Lord has been enjoying himself at the Jade Pool for many years and has not returned to the palace, he has naturally forgotten to clean up the Siyuan.
If there are any important matters on ordinary days, the Divine Servant of Fate will go to Yaochi to consult him.
This time, Si Yuan also rushed over, but was stopped at the door by the celestial maidens of Yaochi. Helpless, Si Yuan had no choice but to pass on the message, give a cold laugh, and turn back to the Heavenly Fate Palace.
By the time the Heavenly Mandate Lord sobered up and learned the news, another month had passed.
