Li Yao suddenly realized.
Xihe bathing the sun is a myth.
Legend has it that Xihe, the mother of the sun, gave birth to ten children, who were also ten golden crows (suns). They lived in Tanggu, an ocean in the east, where there was a large tree called "Fusang".
Ten golden crows take turns patrolling the sky, one each day.
Regardless of which Golden Crow is on duty, they are always accompanied by their mother, Xihe, driving a chariot.
Before Jinwu goes on duty in the morning, Xihe would take her children to bathe in the Salty Pool next to Tanggu.
This is the myth of Xihe bathing the sun.
I never imagined that Xihe bathing the sun in this world would have another interpretation.
The reason Xihe bathed her child was to allow her child to absorb the essence of the sun from the Yanbo Divine Spring, so that her child, the Golden Crow, could continuously generate light and energy.
"Before the Flaming Wave Divine Spring appeared here, did the Salt Pool also contain the essence of the sun?"
Li Yao asked the question that had been bothering him.
"That's good, but I've noticed that the essence of the sun in Xianchi is decreasing. Fortunately, the Yanbo Divine Spring suddenly appeared, allowing my child to absorb enough essence of the sun."
Xihe explained.
"I wonder what kind of effect the Flame Wave Spring Soul will have if it is integrated into the ring space?"
Li Yao was filled with anticipation.
He asked Xihe to retrieve some of the Flame Wave Spring Soul for him.
Xihe nodded, waved her hands, and began to extract the Soul of the Flaming Wave Spring.
Then, wisps of golden spring spirits floated out from the salty pool.
Under her control, these wisps of fiery spring spirit formed a shimmering golden sphere, like a golden sun, suspended in her palm.
"This is the Fiery Wave Spring Soul you sought!"
Xihe pushed the golden sphere in front of Li Yao.
Li Yao immediately absorbed the golden sphere with his ring, and then, with a thought, began to fuse with the Flaming Wave Divine Spring.
Immediately, his primordial spirit entered the ring space.
To his surprise, a golden sun had appeared in the ring's space.
In other words, after the Soul of the Flaming Spring was integrated into the ring space, it caused a sun to appear in his space.
Previously, his space lacked sunlight, which seemed somewhat out of place.
Now, a sun has appeared in his space, making it feel more like a self-contained, independent world.
"In that case, the Zhaodan Divine Spring that Changxi guards is very likely related to the moon!"
A bold idea came to Li Yao's mind.
Thinking of this, his primordial spirit emerged from the ring space, and then he smiled and said to Chang Xi, "Next, it's your turn to show me the Zhaodan Divine Spring."
Chang Xi glanced at Di Jun, and seeing him nod slightly, she said, "Alright, please follow me!"
Chapter 610 Taking the Divine Tree
Led by Chang Xi, Li Yao and Xiao Bai arrived at a dimly lit place.
Here, there is also a huge lake, and beside the lake, there is a huge laurel tree.
"This is the Divine Spring that illuminates the gall!"
Chang Xi pointed to the lake and said to Li Yao.
The origin of Zhaodan Divine Spring is almost exactly the same as that of Yanbo Divine Spring.
Moreover, the effects of the Zhaodan Divine Spring are almost identical to those of the Yanbo Divine Spring.
Changxi often brought her twelve daughters, Yue Liang, to the Zhaodan Divine Spring for a bath.
This also corresponds to a myth: Changxi bathing in the moon.
"What is the extraordinary ability of this Divine Spring of Illumination?"
Although Li Yao had some suspicions, he couldn't help but ask.
"The Divine Spring of Illumination contains endless moonlight, which can not only harmonize yin and yang, but also bring some light to the night."
Chang Xi explained.
"Just as I thought!"
Li Yao smiled.
Then, he had Chang Xi extract the soul of the Zhaodan Spring.
Chang Xi didn't say much, and directly activated the magic technique to begin extracting the soul of the Zhaodan Spring.
Under Chang Xi's control, wisps of silver spring spirits floated out of the lake.
Soon, these spirits of the Bright Spring gathered together, forming a shimmering silver sphere, like a bright moon, suspended in her palm.
"This is the soul of the Bright Spring!"
Chang Xi gently pushed the silver sphere in front of Li Yao.
Without hesitation, Li Yao used the ring to absorb the silver sphere.
At the same time, with a thought, he began to merge with the soul of the Bright Spring.
He then carefully sensed the area and discovered that there was an extra moon in the ring's space.
It's just that it's daytime now, and the moon is hidden on the other side.
Moreover, unlike the world of Legend of Sword and Fairy, the moon in the ring space appears every night, and it is always a full moon.
"Thank you!"
Having obtained what he desired, Li Yao cupped his hands in greeting to Di Jun, Xi He, and Chang Xi, saying, "I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
"Where is Young Master Li heading?"
Di Jun asked a question.
"No need to ask anymore. You just need to refrain from interfering in the affairs of the human and demon realms, and I will not cause you any trouble!"
Li Yao glanced at Di Jun with a half-smile.
Then, he and Xiaobai transformed into two golden rays and disappeared.
Di Jun, Xi He, and Chang Xi looked at each other, their faces filled with bitterness.
...
The next moment, two golden beams of light descended from the sky and landed in front of a giant divine tree.
"Divine Tree, we meet again!"
Li Yao looked at the sacred tree before him with a faint smile.
The last time I came here, Xi Yao was still guarding the sacred tree.
Now, Xi Yao has been stripped of her physical form by Fu Xi, and her spirit has transformed into countless spirits, continuing to guard the roots of the divine tree to provide nourishment.
"Husband, this divine tree might not be easy to bring into the spatial dimension!"
Xiao Bai looked up at the towering divine tree before him, its top invisible, and said with some worry.
"I can even bring the colossal tree from the world of Jade Dynasty into my spatial dimension!"
"This divine tree shouldn't be too difficult to obtain!"
Li Yao looked up at the divine tree, thought for a moment, and then said.
The towering tree in the world of Jade Dynasty is very similar to the divine tree in the world of Chinese Paladin; both are extremely tall, so tall that it is unimaginable.
Of course, there are still some differences between the two.
The colossal tree in the world of Jade Dynasty is located in the mortal realm and can generate endless spiritual energy.
This spiritual energy does not ascend to the heavens, but rather brings abundant spiritual energy to the human world, having a tremendous impact on the surrounding creatures.
The divine tree in the world of Chinese Paladin is located in the realm of gods, and it can also generate endless spiritual energy.
However, this spiritual energy is pure and cannot sink. It will not bring spiritual energy to the human world, but is the source of life in the divine realm.
"In that case, this sacred tree is not suitable to be placed on the ground."
"It seems I need to create a celestial realm above the ring space to house the divine tree!"
Li Yao thought about it for a moment, and then told Xiaobai his thoughts.
Xiao Bai thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yao's primordial spirit entered the space, and he asked Xiao Bai to protect him outside.
He is the master of the ring space and also possesses spatial abilities.
Therefore, creating a celestial realm within the ring space was not a difficult task for him at all.
So, with that thought in mind, he began to use his spatial abilities to create a celestial realm.
Soon, under Li Yao's control, a crack appeared in the sky above the ring space.
The crack grew larger and larger, tearing open to both sides.
From within the crack, endless wisps of black mist emerged.
In the blink of an eye, the crack grew to the size of a city, and it continued to expand outwards.
After about half an hour, the rift had transformed into a vast space spanning thousands of miles.
As the black mist gradually dissipated, this alternate dimension was basically formed.
However, the air in this alternate dimension was murky and gray, as if it were a space devoid of any life.
"The Heavenly Realm has finally been opened up!"
