The most worrisome targets have become the supreme beings outside of ourselves.
Furthermore, they discovered that despite Chu Mingkong's antics inside for so long, Moonlight Arakawa's "cake" was still intact and had not been touched at all, so what was there to be afraid of?
Qi Xue discussed the matter with her two companions using divine sense, and then asked:
"But Chu Mingkong was able to directly move into the Moonlight Wasteland. Didn't he know that the Heavenly Demon Emperor and the others were on high alert? That's the battlefield left behind by Empress Yueqi. There shouldn't be any major problems if they kept an eye on it, right?"
“It’s not worth it. They are all making their own preparations, and time is precious to everyone,” said the Lord of Snow River.
In a sense, she was already prepared.
Shen Xuejun's offering was enough to allow her to weather this round of changes with peace of mind.
However, she was currently being outmaneuvered by her own Dao Fruit, by the version of herself in her dream, which stalled her progress.
However, if she were truly forced to do something against her will, she could directly absorb this Dao Fruit to deal with other supreme beings without any major problems.
There will be a price to pay for this; her consciousness may be affected by the consciousness of "Shen Xuejun".
......
Chu Mingkong looked up at the outside world. It would be impossible for him not to feel worried.
Fortunately, those two supreme beings left.
"It seems we need to speed things up and complete the trial to challenge Empress Yueqi as soon as possible."
In that case, as long as I don't leave the Moonlight Arakawa River, I should still be able to deal with them using the power of this place.
Having made up his mind, Chu Mingkong asked the Queen Mother of the West:
"My goodness, um... can I cultivate directly with the power source of these goddesses? I mean, can I cultivate using the 'Hehuan True Scripture'?"
"That won't do. What are you thinking?" The stunningly beautiful woman shook her head and sighed. "You can cultivate in harmony with the consciousness of the scriptures?"
"Why not? It's happened several times already... No, Mother means there needs to be a vessel, like how Su Nu and Xuan Nu possessed Nong Yu?"
"That's right, even the consciousness of scriptures has a scripture as its body, so do these sources of power have one?"
"Indeed, I'll take the power of these goddesses back with me and see if the girls can rely on it!"
The ultimate goal of cultivation is to return to simplicity and authenticity; you must continue to cultivate in the same way you did before...
Chapter 251 The Great Qing Dynasty!
Chu Mingkong told the Queen Mother of the West about his idea, but still did not receive her approval:
"You want Nongyu to transform multiple times by herself? That probably won't work~"
"Why does Nongyu possess that unique Daoist talent, and didn't she also transform into two goddesses?"
Chu Mingkong realized that when they started discussing it, Nongyu's talent seemed to be that of a magical girl, transforming by switching between different types of magic wands.
"They are different. A slight difference can lead to a huge error. The will of the scriptures and the source of power are two different things."
A mature and beautiful woman with a mysterious air yawned lazily as she explained the differences to Chu Mingkong.
The power source left in the scriptures is not entirely the goddess's original power. The Xuan Nu and Su Nu that Yun Nongyu came into contact with were clearly inferior to these original power sources in the Moonlight Wild River in terms of power.
Because the will of the scriptures is the crystallization of the highest wisdom at the moment of their creation, but the source of these powers is part of the goddesses, permeating their entire lives.
It is much higher in rank than the will of the scriptures.
If Yun Nongyu were to rashly come into contact with these sources of power, it would affect her Daoist essence in an irreversible way.
Chu Mingkong was completely confused and said in distress:
"Is it really that complicated? It's all about transformation, yet there are so many intricacies involved."
"My goodness, how am I supposed to use this source of power for cultivation? Who can I ask to assist me?"
A sly, mischievous smile appeared on the Queen Mother of the West's stunningly beautiful face, a hint of wickedness mixed with gentleness.
That look was beautiful, but it gave Chu Mingkong a bit of a creep!
"Wait a minute, my god! You don't mean I should put all this power into that goddess statue on the altar, do you?"
Is this asking me to smash a rock?!
"It's just a joke~ Don't get excited. You can give Xiao Qingning your share of Hua's, and Yun Han your share of Guang Han's. We'll talk about the rest later."
......
Upon returning to the palace, the women immediately surrounded him to inquire about the situation.
Chu Mingkong was secretly alarmed. In the depths of the Moonlit Wilderness River, the aura of supreme beings could still be transmitted here.
This place is near the north, while Chu Mingkong's cultivation location is in the southern part of the Moonlight Wasteland.
The distance difference is not small.
"It's alright for now, no need to worry. The location I chose for everyone is an excellent place. Just a little way out is Snow River Divine City, where you can go directly to the Lord of Snow River."
Hearing Chu Mingkong say this, the women were temporarily relieved. Those who were sleeping in went back to lie down, while those who were meditating went back to meditate.
Chu Mingkong called Qingning and Yunhan over separately and took them to a room to discuss important matters.
The door closed, and only the presence of the three of them lingered in the room.
Seeing this situation, Qingning had a pretty good idea of what was going to happen.
Her cheeks flushed and burned, and she asked, somewhat coyly, knowing the answer but feigning ignorance:
"Brother, what are you doing...?"
My older sister, Xiao Yunhan, doesn't bother with all that pretense; she's very direct.
With a flick of her hairpin, her neatly tied snow-white hair fell loose, cascading down like a waterfall, smooth and beautiful. Her icy high heels melted away, her jade-like feet lightly touching the ground. A white dress, more exquisite than snow, slipped from her shoulders, revealing fair yet rosy, milky-soft skin.
"Let's begin cultivation."
Xiao Yunhan pulled her younger sister and brother up and walked towards the bedroom without any politeness.
Chu Mingkong smiled helplessly and stopped her:
"Yunhan, you're really too blunt. How can you be so direct right from the start?"
"You waited until Fengying and Jinyu were far away before secretly calling Qingning and me over. If it wasn't for cultivation, what else could it be? There shouldn't be anything special that we can only discuss, right?"
That's the logic...
Forget it, anyway, I can't really explain being reserved or subtle to Yunhan. She just does things her own way.
"I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I hope Qingning and Yunhan can try to accept this source of power before you start cultivating."
Xiao Yunhan and Qing Ning naturally wouldn't ask Chu Mingkong whether the so-called source of power was harmful; that would be a completely unnecessary question.
They were actually worried that Chu Mingkong wouldn't dare let them take any risks, which would make him feel constrained in his actions.
"Can you lend your brother a hand in dealing with that supreme being?" Qingning asked, distressed that she couldn't offer any help.
However, he never stopped cultivating himself. If the old witchcraft system could no longer be practiced, then he would start over and switch back to the most ordinary Five Elements cultivation.
She only wanted to help protect the women and share the burden at certain times.
"What about the source of that power? Does it require any skill to assist it?"
Xiao Yunhan was as direct as ever, reaching out to ask him for it.
Since the Queen Mother of the West didn't say anything, it's assumed that it's not necessary; she's just temporarily allowing these powers to manifest in them.
"It's these two lumps."
A ball of light appeared in each of Chu Mingkong's hands; in his left hand was a dark purple seed, and in his right hand was a crystal-like herb.
The former is the Goddess of a Hundred Flowers, while the latter is the Goddess of the Moon Palace.
The two women readily accepted a portion and used the most common method of inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy to feel and receive this power.
Upon brief contact, they immediately sensed the mysterious and profound nature of this power, which resembled the most primal force.
Yunhan seems to have encountered some difficulties, and progress is quite slow.
Chu Mingkong vaguely knew what her doubts were, so he used this opportunity to share what he had heard from the Queen Mother of the West with Yun Han, making himself appear knowledgeable and well-versed.
"This is the source of the power of the Moon Goddess, but it is incomplete. The Snow River Divine City also obtained some of it, which is why you feel a bit familiar with it, Yunhan."
After all, Yunhan was her master's personal disciple, and the source of power, even if "Xuejun" was a dream body in a state of amnesia at the time, would not change.
Under Shen Xuejun's tutelage, Yunhan will surely learn some of the essential skills.
Chu Mingkong still remembered that his master's wife had left the complete inheritance to Yun Han, so perhaps Yun Han's "goddess-like" transformation would be more profound than expected.
Qingning benefited from a complete overhaul of her cultivation, and her foundation was solid and "clean," like a blank slate. The power of the Goddess of a Hundred Flowers quickly merged into her body.
Gradually, Qingning's clothes transformed into nourishment from brocade and blooming flowers. The fabric dissolved, and delicate, fragrant blossoms entwined around her body along with the vines.
The white petals with blue trim grew larger and larger, spreading out and weaving themselves into an elegant and noble strapless dress.
Her black hair was adorned with floral headdresses, and her face had changed slightly; her heroic spirit had faded a bit, but she had become even more radiant and lovely.
"Qingning?" Chu Mingkong called out softly, confirming that the consciousness he was currently in was indeed Qingning herself.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the woman in front of him regained her composure and uttered a soft "Hmm?", indicating that she was indeed calm.
It is estimated that not much of the original power of the Goddess of a Hundred Flowers remained, and Qing Ning was changed relatively little.
"Is Sister Yunhan still not done?"
Qingning inquired about Xiao Yunhan's condition, then looked at her own body, a look of joy appearing in her eyes.
She can't even see her toes when she looks down anymore; the little dumpling has grown!
"Brother, I...I've grown up!!"
Qingning was so excited that she stammered a little.
