Chapter 485 Last Month (1)
Ji Rong knew that since Yuanjun had made this request, this time it wouldn't be like last time, where he would just give Him a thorough review of the source stream. It was highly likely that His authority had the ability to merge with other realms, and He wanted Ji Rong to cover for Him.
But Ji Rong was not worried at all, because they only said that after returning, they would apply the source to Him, but they did not make a detailed agreement on how thick the application should be or when to apply it, nor did they have a written contract.
Without detailed agreements, Ji Rong had ample room for communication and could choose the time to fulfill her promises based on the actual circumstances.
It seems that even the Primordial Lord himself was unsure how large the territory would be, so he simply didn't mention it.
Otherwise, these are all spirits and deities who have lived for thousands of years; who would be so foolish as to make such a vague agreement?
Inside the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, Jiao Jue thought the same thing after hearing this. He said, "He is not asking us to replenish his source flow, but rather to make up for it here. However, exercising authority does consume source flow, which should not be paid for by him."
"He doesn't have the capacity to nourish newly acquired land with spiritual energy."
Ji Rong nodded and said, "Yes, if my elder brother agrees, I will go and tell Him in a few days, and then go to the outer heavens as soon as possible to get things done. Otherwise, I am afraid that the newly built ascension platform is unstable and may be damaged by the wasteland floating in the outer heavens if we are not careful."
Jiaojue squinted and said, "Anyway, we didn't set a time with Him, so just go and tell Him that I agree."
"You all go up there as soon as possible and complete the Ascension Platform, the Heavenly Road, and the Heaven-Locking Array. Then you can come and take over your duties, and I'll go up and take a look too."
Ji Rong laughed and said, "Big brother, if you lead a team up next time, it won't be just moving stars, it will definitely be mining. Are you sure you want to go?"
"Mining?!" Jiao Jue's eyes widened instantly, then narrowed again, asking, "What kind of mine?"
Ji Rong said, "It's not certain yet, but Senior Sister Gao Tan told me that among the waste star soil and rocks used to build the Ascension Platform, we found a lot of rare minerals that are rare here. If we search for a while longer, we can find spirit crystals."
Jiaojue replied, "Then let's talk about it after you find a vein rich in spirit crystals."
Having reached an agreement with Jiao Jue on the matter of replenishing the source flow, Yuan Jun also readily agreed. He looked at Ji Rong, blinked a few times (a rare occurrence), and said with a hint of hazy warmth in his voice, "Lord Ji, I'm going to get a sample. Please wait for me."
Then, a great light shone from His body, and with a thud, He leaped into the Jade Liquid Moon-Washing Pool.
Ji Rong looked up and saw the water churning, as if the entire Moon Washing Pool had been folded up and was now being opened up, gradually becoming larger, deeper, wider, and brighter.
A palace emerged faintly from the water, emitting a faint, cool light through the long waves of light. The plaque in front of it read "Moon Shadow Palace," and on both sides hung the same plaques and couplets that Ji Rongcheng had seen before, which read: "Enveloped in radiant light, its shadow is reflected in the heart."
As the palace appeared, a huge, pitch-black figure with two distinct tails swayed and was swimming towards it, with a small, bright full moon above its head.
The closer they got to the palace, the larger the moon appeared, and the more ethereal the palace seemed.
In the end, the palace appeared as a thin shadow reflected in the bright moon.
Then, the all-black Yuanjun gradually coiled around the moon, like the moon's shadow;
A series of clear, ethereal chants emanated from Yuanjun's mouth. Ji Rong listened carefully to the divine text within and discovered that it was a divine and extremely complex prayer for the moon.
Logically, these kinds of songs praising the gods should be sung spontaneously by the beings under the gods' jurisdiction, and if the gods want to respond after hearing them, they can join in with a few lines.
However, in the Moonshade Mountains, it was Yuanjun herself who first sang praises to herself.
Truly, what a unique Tsuki-kun!
It seems that although He also cultivated the Way of Faith, there were not many sentient beings under His command who had developed intelligence and retained their consciousness. So, this Yuanjun took a different approach and simply believed in himself first.
As soon as Yuanjun sang, the Moon-Washing Pool seemed to come alive. Various insects, fish, birds and beasts of all colors, emitting white light, swam out from all around, opening their mouths and blankly echoing Yuanjun's song.
As more and more people chimed in, faint, pale light wisps emerged from their heads and drifted toward Yuanjun.
Yuanjun sang for nearly two hours, and only stopped when her whole body was covered with a thin layer of eerie light.
With his two tails wrapped around the small, round moon that had returned to its original size, he reached into the water with his six hands and lifted the suspended moon platform up.
Then, He emerged from the water and said to Ji Rong, "Lord Ji, let's go now."
Ji Rong nodded, and they flew together towards Haiya Mountain in Juzhou.
Upon reaching Haiya Mountain and taking the Heavenly Road scroll that Qing Tanzi had calculated long ago, Ji Rong asked Qing Pingzi and Qing Tanzi to open the inscription path for them. She also specifically instructed Qing Yangzi: "Senior Brother Gao Yang, after Senior Yuanjun moves the stars into the designated positions, I will drop a storage ring filled with soil into this inscription path as a signal."
"When the time comes, open the door, and once you see the storage ring, bring some cultivators up to help you repair the road."
Qingyangzi nodded and said, "Okay."
Ji Rong and Yuan Jun then entered the Inscription Path, letting the wildly swirling space throw them into the sky.
On the simple ascension platform, Yuanjun looked at the desolate landscape before her, and then at the scorching sun above her. Her heart, which had been dormant for many years, trembled.
Because of His authority, He was able to "see" that the solitary, shining Lord of the Sun was still alive; but, given His nature, He would probably rather immediately disintegrate and die than live like this, being held so tightly by the authority of another sun and unable to move.
As Yuanjun thought this, he became even more wary of Ji Rong. His heart turned cold, and frost flowers began to form around him.
Seeing this, Ji Rong quickly said, "Senior, we can't let this place freeze, or it will damage the rough form of the Ascension Platform."
Then, she took out the scroll and pointed to a spot not far ahead, saying, "Let's hurry up and find a little star to place here."
Once the stars are shining brightly and Senior Brother Gao Yang leads the team to repair the road, we can travel around and choose a piece of land that our predecessors have chosen.
Yuanjun nodded, and then placed the Suspended Moon Platform on Ji Rong's back, saying, "Lord Ji, this is my favorite shelf. It's the sweetest place to sleep. Please make sure you keep it safe and don't lose it."
Having said that, He released the full moon from His tail, picked it up with His six hands, and threw it into the air.
The full moon, once freed from Yuanjun's hand, rapidly grew larger, and Yuanjun, like a snake, climbed up to it, saying, "Lord Ji, let's go find a suitable star."
They flew through the desolate, dark expanse of space, arriving at the outer edge of the sun, where they could see several clear and wide star rivers, which looked very close at first glance, but were actually very far away.
