Following Spirit Wa's voice, two silhouettes quietly showed up behind her.
Donggong was shaped like a pine tree, with a simple and unsophisticated look. He was wearing a long robe, holding a pair of rulers and wrapped in the power of Dao. From his head, a clear stream of mist rose to tens of meters high and transformed into a mushroom-like cloud, carrying tens of glowing pre-world spirit treasures. Every single one of these treasures had been releasing strong power vibrations.
Ximu was strong and beautiful, with a strong sense of power. Unlike Donggong, who seemed to be carefree, Ximu had been releasing a thriving life-force. She stood beside Donggong, curiously looking at Ji Hao with narrowed eyes. Her long hair fluttered behind her head without being blown by any wind, causing swishing noises from time to time.
Unlike Donggong, who looked like a transcendent being, Ximu didn't have many eye-catching signs.
However, Ji Hao faintly sensed that behind Ximu was an invisible gate. That gate gave Ji Hao an ancient and profound feeling, full of mysteriousness. By approaching it with his spirit power, Ji Hao sensed a whirlpool-like devouring power.
Behind that gate was a volcanic, meteor-like, terrifyingly strong power. Ji Hao faintly sensed that if the gate behind Ximu was opened, the power released from it would definitely be greater than the tens of pre-world treasures floating above Donggong's head.
Donggong and Ximu gave Ji Hao a strong feeling. Somehow, Ji Hao even felt that they were at the same level as Spirit Wa.
However, there seemed to be some flaws in their auras, as if the most exquisite porcelain had been accidentally cracked by someone. Although at first glance, it still seemed to be a peerless and magnificent treasure, upon closer inspection, one would find that the faintly discernible cracks had greatly damaged its value.
"Elders, it's my honor to meet you!" Ji Hao solemnly bowed to Donggong and Ximu.
Spirit Wa's request was like a thunderbolt striking on his head. Donggong was a divine emperor, and Ximu was the Jade Pool Gold Mother. This suddenly reminded Ji Hao of many things, things that he had forgotten long ago.
Divine emperors were not a big deal. But now, the heaven was empty, and Ji Hao was the only divine emperor among the five. Even with the Dragon Race's Ao Bai and the Phoenix Race's Qing Fu waiting in reserve, the number of Celestial Emperors was still insufficient. Ji Hao had no objection to Donggong becoming a divine emperor.
As for the Jade Lake …
The geographical map of the heaven flashed across Ji Hao's mind. The Jade Lake, which extended for millions of miles, could be called the heaven's spirit cave, and was the most important area in the heaven where countless earth meridians gathered. Controlling the Jade Pool would mean controlling more than 60% of the Heavenly Court's Spirit Qi. Its importance could be imagined.
Countless thoughts popped up in Ji Hao's head, then disappeared. Smilingly, Ji Hao bowed to Donggong and Ximu and said, "Elders, it's a blessing to have you join the heaven."
Donggong gave a faint smile, slightly nodded to Ji Hao, and said, "Emperor Ji Hao, you're too polite."
Before Donggong's voice faded, Ximu had already let out a great roar towards the sky, which shook the entire underground palace. Her thunderous roar even caused Ji Hao's eardrums to buzz. Shaking her head, Ximu chuckled and said, "Stop pretending. We're injured badly, and our cultivation is lowered. We haven't been able to recover for years. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid that even our foundations of Dao will be damaged."
Letting out a long sigh, Ximu slapped on Ji Hao's shoulder.
Bang! A strong force pressed down. Ji Hao took this heavy strike, which was as heavy as a falling star, without moving even a little bit. Ximu pressed her hand on Ji Hao's shoulder, glanced at Ji Hao in surprise, who seemed to be perfectly fine. She couldn't help but exclaim, "What a tough body! Ji Hao, the so-called divine emperors, the so-called Jade Lake Gold Mother, frankly speaking, we're healing ourselves with the natural fortune of the heaven."
Shaking her head, Ximu pointed at Donggong and laughed, "This old man is too shy. He feels ashamed about this, so he doesn't want to say it out. I don't care about these things. Jade Lake is the richest place in the heaven, and I'm going there to heal myself! "
Ji Hao smiled. He glanced at Donggong and found that this old man's look was a bit unnatural. Clearly, Ximu's words made him feel uncomfortable.
"Since you're going to heal yourself, the heaven has been empty for years. With your powers, you can go in and heal yourself anytime you want. Why do you have to wait until now?" Ji Hao asked Ximu confusedly.
Spirit Wa sighed slowly. She glanced at the outside of the underground palace and said blandly, "How can the natural powers in Jade Lake possibly heal you two? To heal yourself, you have to merge your natural fortune with the heaven. But, you two are both peaceful people. Hehe, how could they be willing to bring troubles to themselves unless they're pushed to the limit? "
Ji Hao nodded. Bring troubles to themselves? He didn't quite understand, but it seemed to make sense.
Ji Hao didn't know how many unspeakable secrets were hidden in this world, but according to the legends he knew from his previous life, this was indeed a giant swirl of troubles. Which decent person would want to get involved?
His heart twitching slightly, Ji Hao said with a deep voice, "In this case, why don't we do it now?"
Ji Hao learned the spell of creation from Spirit Wa, which meant that he owed her a huge favor. He had to pay her back. Therefore, if Spirit Wa wanted to send Donggong and Ximu into the heaven, Ji Hao had no right to stop her, neither did he have a reason to stop her, nor an excuse.
"No rush, no rush!" Spirit Wa grinned and narrowed her eyes, sparkling with a deep light. She told Si Wen Ming to get familiar with the power of the nine cauldrons as soon as possible, then wielded her right hand and directly tore the space apart, bringing Ji Hao, Donggong, and Ximu to the heaven.
Waving her hand again, Ao Bai and Qing Qiang were dragged out by Spirit Wa.
When they were dragged out, both of them showed a trace of shock on their faces. But when they saw Spirit Wa, Donggong and Ximu, their faces twitched intensely simultaneously. Helplessly, they bowed deeply to Spirit Wa.
"Alright, no more bullsh * t." Smilingly, Spirit Wa pointed at Ao Bai and Qing Qiang's chests with the tip of her long tail and said, "You want to become divine emperors, to help the dragon-kind and phoenix-kind control the great Dao of nature, don't you? But, you don't have enough natural reward power. It's not that easy to become divine emperors. "
Ao Bai's expression changed slightly. He gave a bitter smile and said, "Elder Spirit Wa, please be straightforward!"
"Alright, alright, just say it then." Spirit Wa narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "I triggered the great Dao of nature and made you two divine emperors. This favor … How are you going to pay me back?"
Ao Bai and Qing Qiang's expressions turned extremely weird.
It wasn't easy to owe Spirit Wa a favor. They would rather deal with Ji Hao, to extort more manpower and resources from them, than deal with Spirit Wa!
They would rather offend Priest Dachi, Priest Qingwei, Priest Yu Yu, Priest Mu, and Priest Hua than have anything to do with Spirit Wa! They couldn't afford to offend her.
But now, Spirit Wa came to them herself … Ao Bai and Qing Qiang gave bitter smiles, bowed deeply, and said, "You decide."
