Chapter 233 Strategy
Upon hearing Qingpingzi's words, Ji Rong wanted nothing more than to run away, but the mist on the cliff had already climbed onto her body, rendering her unable to move.
Qingpingzi looked at Ji Rong, then unleashed his five whip-like tails and released the Hundred Techniques Seal, which still had several gaps on its surface.
With heavy steps, he presented the Hundred Skills Seal to Ji Rong and said, “Junior Sister, if the Golden Cauldron Goddess can recover, our Jade Void Palace will be weakened. In the past, it was not uncommon for palaces to annex each other. They have even erected a teleportation array in our heartland. If we cannot become stronger, it is only a matter of time before we are swallowed up.”
Ji Rong's mind raced, and she immediately exclaimed, "Senior brother, if that's the case, why not disable that teleportation array?"
Qingpingzi sighed, squatted down on the cloud cliff, and said, "Our strength is insufficient, so even if we disable that teleportation array, it will be useless."
He stood up, slowly waved his claws to form a hand seal, released Ji Rong, and continued, "Junior sister, do you know why I must perfect the Hundred Skills Seal?"
"Please speak, senior brother."
"Junior sister, having traveled for so many years, what do you think of this world? Do you feel it lacks anything?"
Have you ever felt that divine authority is intertwined and ambiguous?
Do you ever feel that the world is going backwards?
Our master is a deity like the Golden Cauldron Goddess and the Primordial Sovereign, but she did not attain divine enlightenment. The reason she chose the imperfect Path of the Hundred Skills Seal is because it represents the future she deduced.
The master believed that the gods would perish with time, and that above the saints, there should be a realm that was below divine authority but close to that of the gods.
However, the Hundred Skills were not perfect at that time. The ancient witch lineage, which was most skilled in the Hundred Skills, had already begun to decline, and the Dragon and Phoenix lineages had lost all their skills and become slaves between the gods and powerful clans.
The authority that the ancient witch originally possessed is scattered everywhere, and the lineage of the ancient witch is gradually declining. My master has the strength but lacks the skills, so she cannot attain enlightenment.
The Hundred Skills Seal was slightly damaged during the process of assisting the Great Witch. Although Master later learned many skills to repair and improve it, allowing it to be passed down, look, Junior Sister, the seal is still incomplete.
When my master died, I received this seal and made a vow of cause and effect, vowing to complete this path.
But over the years, only the method you provided has given it a sense of self-justification.
Junior sister, I have no intention of forcing you. Every cultivator has their own secrets. If you still have any methods, please lend your senior brother a hand.
"Junior sister, what do you think of this Jade Void Palace? I don't have any disciples, but you were taken in by me on behalf of our master. If you want it, I'll even pass the entire Jade Void Palace to you."
Ji Rong's mind wandered, and she didn't quite believe what her cheap senior brother was saying.
She liked the kindness of the cultivators from Jade Void Palace; she also liked Qingpingzi's suggestion of breaking through to godhood.
When the colossal behemoth falls, countless new spirits will surely be able to advance further.
But these things are not enough to make her abandon her principle of caution. After all, she is now a wealthy and powerful woman, and she no longer reveals all her cards as she used to.
Ji Rong shook his head firmly at Qingpingzi and said, "Senior brother, I have handed over all the methods recorded in the jade tablets. There are none left."
Upon hearing this, Qingpingzi seemed to have expected it and showed no disappointment.
He took out a storage ring that he had prepared beforehand and said frankly, "Junior sister, I was in a hurry and offended you. You are staying in the unloading workshop now and rarely go out. This contains precious materials for strengthening the soul and nourishing the essence. Take it back and consume it."
Receiving so many precious materials at once warmed Ji Rong's heart. She lowered her eyes slightly and a plan came to mind. She asked, "Senior brother, who is stronger, the Golden Cauldron Goddess or the ancient witch saints?"
Qingpingzi replied, "Each has its own merits, why do you ask such a question, Junior Sister?"
"That makes things easier."
Ji Rong thought to herself, her eyes darting around. She said to Qing Pingzi with a serious expression, "Senior brother, I have a brilliant plan that can solve the predicament of our Jade Void Palace. All you need to do is give me a little something."
"Junior sister, please speak."
Ji Rong grinned, her large beak gleaming, and said, "Senior brother, as you know, the ancient witch clan once revered me as an auspicious omen. I learned some secret techniques there."
Senior brother, if you can help me cultivate to the Emperor level, I can use that ancient witchcraft to summon ancient witch sages with world-destroying power.
As long as the spiritual energy continues, these summoned ancient shamans and sages can fight continuously, day and night.
However, this witch tribe is a subordinate tribe of Jue Jun, so this matter requires His approval.
"And from now on, our Jade Void Palace will be bound together with the Dragon and Phoenix Palace."
Qingpingzi looked at Ji Rong and asked solemnly, "Junior Sister, is what you say true?"
"Absolutely true!"
"If one can acquire such a powerful weapon, it is only right to make a greater sacrifice."
Qingpingzi stood up, then dragged his tail as he paced along the cliff, continuing, "Junior sister, most cultivators in the Jade Void Palace attain enlightenment through skill, and few are like Shan Zhongfeng from your place, whose cultivation level increases even without mastering the techniques."
You possess the knowledge of alchemy, but lack practical skills; your senior brother cannot teach you.
Ji Rong was aware of her situation. She said, "Senior brother, how about this? I will go to the Dragon and Phoenix Palace to pay my respects to Lord Jue and get the inheritance of the Witch Clan first, and then we can talk about other things."
"Senior brother, what do you think? Would you like to come with me?"
Qingpingzi listened and nodded, saying, "There are many things going on here, Junior Sister. I need to stay in the palace and cannot go out at will. So let Junior Sister Qingbaizi accompany you."
"I'll have my junior brother Qingyangzi arrange for his disciples to manage your unloading workshop for you." Qingyangzi was Ke Ben's master.
Sure enough, the next day, Ke Ben, who was forging iron, was ordered by his master to go to the unloading workshop to accompany Han Hushan Wu to chop meat.
Seeing the thoughtful arrangements made by Qingpingzi, Ji Rong immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Since Ji Rong was representing Yuxu Palace to visit Juejun at the Dragon and Phoenix Hall and demand powerful weapons and treasures, she could not go empty-handed.
Qingpingzi prepared another string of storage rings and had the honest Qingbaizi accompany Ji Rong.
Qing Baizi has cultivated to the level of an emperor, and she is no longer young. Her talent is not high, and she was able to cultivate to this level only because Ling Xiaozi forced her to grow.
Qing Baizi had never left the Jade Void Mountains before. When she heard that her senior brother, the Palace Master, wanted her to accompany his junior sister for a short trip down the mountain, she was overjoyed.
She immediately began packing up numerous items as if moving house, hanging forty storage rings neatly on the ground.
Before leaving, Qingpingzi prepared many precious materials for Ji Rong, including a lot of immortal spring dew and a small bottle of source stream, which were the precious materials he provided for Ji Rong's advancement.
He looked at Ji Rong and said, "Junior sister, life is the most important thing. Even if you don't become emperor, it doesn't matter. Go and come back soon."
Ji Rong nodded emphatically. She carried Qing Baizi into the air and nodded emphatically to Qing Pingzi, saying, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I'm going."
Then it flew towards the Danxue Mountains.
Outside the Danxue Mountains and the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, feathers often fluttered in the air. Gu Qingqing and Ji Zhuang were exhausted from running around and dealing with various tribes every day.
When Ji Rong and Qing Baizi arrived at the palace gate, Ji Zhuang was squatting on the ground, surrounded by a group of crying baby birds, looking utterly helpless.
When Ji Rong arrived carrying Qing Baizi, Ji Zhuang realized that Ji Rong had actually come.
Ji Rong looked at Ji Zhuang, grinning with her fangs, and said, "Brother, why are you so good-natured these days?"
