The Jingwei asked, "What is your way to fill the sea?"
My methods? There are so many! But this is not something we can do.
The Phoenix thought for a moment and took out the three scrolls of celestial scriptures gifted by the Nine Heavenly Fairy.
"I have three scrolls of celestial scriptures here, which record several divine abilities from the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Celestial Vastness, including the ones you most need: shaking mountains and earth and stirring up rivers and seas."
Jingwei's eyes were shining.
For her, the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Celestial Vastness is more appealing than the previous Nirvana Sutra.
It also knows that it's difficult to fill the East Sea by carrying its descendants and picking up branches and stones like this. Before, there was no other way; it could only rely on the resentment in its heart and that unstoppable spirit to urge itself on. If there were a better method, it wouldn't naturally refuse.
It is now a bird, but before that, it was also a human being. Among all living beings, humans are the most adept at using tools. Practice can be considered a tool for cultivation.
The Phoenix inquired softly, "Would you be willing to register as my disciple?"
"The 'I', Jingwei, hesitated for a moment, and it seemed as if she were about to agree."
An old voice echoed, "Jingwei, consider the long-standing perseverance of your tribe and the sacrifices they made. How can you abandon them now? There are countless Jingwei birds watching you on this island."
The Phoenix had seemingly known someone was hidden in the shadows for quite some time, remaining silent and waiting for Jingwei to make her own choice.
She did not speak, and Longji could certainly do the talking. Leading Longji over was also a way to support Jingwei at this moment.
An old woman wearing purple Wei clothing, wearing a Lofty Sun high crown, and holding a Wildgoose staff, walked out with a trembling walk.
Longji glared and said, "Old nun, can't you see that it's meaningless for Jingwei to continue filling the sea like this? Why push her into a fire pit?"
The old lady's smile was stiff and seemed somewhat ominous, "In the past, it was this girl who had an indestructible true soul. She tirelessly begged the old lady for help. The old lady was touched by her sincerity and spent great spiritual power to collect her spirits, reshape her body, so what? Did the old lady do anything wrong?"
Her eyes were somewhat muddy: "Both of you have kind hearts and may have some skills, but there is some foundation. But this matter is a piece of advice from the old lady. Please do not interfere anymore."
"Who is this old fellow? Pretending to be grandiose, really annoying!" Longji whispered to the phoenix and added, "Is he also from the dragon tribe?"
The Phoenix does not have the same divine eyes as Yang Jian and Wen Zhong, because she does not need them. She is not interested in such treasures as mirrors to detect demons.
Her eyes already have the ability to break through illusions. Looking at the old lady twice, she saw that her vision was filled with gold light, and each beam of light was like a needle, piercing her eyes together.
Her eyelids closed quickly, and in a short while, they all shot open again, directly gazing at the old lady's true body. The old lady was somewhat angry. She did not expect her gaze to be sticky, and when she tried to use the golden light to counterattack, the Phoenix had already withdrawn her gaze.
The Phoenix seemed to suppress her voice, not only Jingwei, but even the old lady herself could hear it.
"I've heard that there is a cultivator named Bilanpo in the Qianhua Cave of Ziyun Mountain in the East Sea. He is a descendant of the ancient Golden Rooster tribe. This should be him. It is said that in ancient times, the Golden Rooster stood on the Great Peach Tree, and the Jade Rooster stood on the Sangsang Tree. When the Jade Rooster crows, it signifies the beginning of a new day, while when the Golden Rooster crows, it signifies the end of a day. The Golden Rooster can also use its crowing to notify two great deities, Shen Tu and Yu Lei, to close the passageway between human world and the realm of shadows."
It turns out to be just a chicken! Longji couldn't help but show a bit of contempt in her eyes. Golden cock, Jade cock sounds quite powerful. She can't afford to offend the gods in ancient times, but their descendants can hardly arouse her high respect.
Bilanpo's expression grew serious: "Now that you have recognized the old lady's identity, please leave as soon as possible. Ziyun Mountain will surely reward you generously in the future."
