Shi was just quietly observing, referencing the power of the Ancient Sea God, the way it manifested, which was entirely different from what he had comprehended. Even those powers didn't transform into Divine Skills, yet they subtly exerted influence and grew stronger like a snowball.
At this moment, he realized that the grand question Yu Ziqing posed, one that everyone could attempt to solve, not only lacked a fixed solution, but even the process of solving it was not fixed.
Theoretically, both the process and the result had countless possibilities.
And this might also be one of the reasons everyone has the opportunity to comprehend it.
Shi just took a reference, expanded his thinking, but did not follow through.
The things he understood were realized by himself, which suited him the best.
He saw the Ancient Sea God moving against the flow, constantly merging those countless figures, with flower buds above his head becoming increasingly prominent.
Even without blooming, he recognized it as resembling a Victory Spring Flower.
Coincidentally, Yu Ziqing had cultivated a celestial herb that also looked just like the Victory Spring Flower.
It's just that Yu Ziqing's celestial herb was far from blooming, without even a flower bud.
Yu Ziqing also didn't want the Juice to bloom, as blooming would mean wilting.
Considering the Juice's rank, not needing to bloom was actually for the best.
At this moment, Shi felt fortunate that these days he had already started monitoring the Ancient Sea God, not missing this particular scene.
Everything has a reason, and the power gathering on the Ancient Sea God, forming such an external manifestation, was certainly not a coincidence.
Shi didn't need to ponder, he was certain it was directly related to Yu Ziqing, and directly related to the celestial herb Yu Ziqing cultivated.
If it's related to the celestial herb...
Shi felt it was time to have a talk with Yu Ziqing, he must let Yu Ziqing know about this matter.
He still hadn't figured out one thing, which is why Yu Ziqing could cultivate a celestial herb, he couldn't understand.
But he didn't want to ask either.
Haven't seen the Ancient Sea God never touched celestial herbs?
That unrestrained fellow, always altering this or that, yet never dared to tamper with things related to celestial herbs.
Always avoided them.
Trying to use celestial herbs, most likely wouldn't end well.
Shi suppressed his emotions, observing the Ancient Sea God moving against the River of Time, his probability of getting discovered was low, so he began actively contacting Yu Ziqing.
Yu Ziqing was still wandering at the East Sea seabed and various islands, absorbing the last residual portion of the Kun Character's power.
The Yellow Earth Mountain at the center of the Dao Court was almost as tall as the other four mountains now.
This was because the last portion of the Kun Character's power corresponding to the Yellow Earth was mostly on land.
In the broader coverage of the ocean, only a small portion of power was actually present.
As for the part of the power in the East Sea, it might have been partially absorbed by the giant shark demon in the past due to the Sixty-four-sided crystal.
Yet more still remained on the seabed, on the islands.
If we removed the seawater, land and ocean would be connected together.
This part Yu Ziqing had already anticipated.
Moreover, it's much easier to absorb power here than in the territories of the Divine Dynasty.
While he was absorbing, he keenly sensed that the drifting water currents on the seabed, the stirred-up dust, the complex trajectories constructed by those elements started to show some differences.
After some information was contained, it became particularly prominent in Yu Ziqing's perception.
Yu Ziqing knew that Shi was sending him a message.
He captured the information, reassembled and deciphered it, and received the message Shi wanted to convey.
"The power within the Ancient Sea God is changing increasingly deeply; he is starting to move against the River of Time.
He is beginning to merge those split figures.
Those powers above his head are condensing into a Victory Spring Flower bud.
It's almost at the stage of complete manifestation, at that point, he will definitely perceive it clearly."
"Eh? A Victory Spring Flower?" Yu Ziqing was somewhat surprised.
"Don't ask me.
I'm just telling you the reality of what I've seen.
I have no speculation, nor any suggestion.
And don't tell me what you have in mind."
Shi was very cautious; he indeed didn't understand why Yu Ziqing could cultivate a celestial herb.
He wasn't afraid of death, but feared that directly intervening with things potentially related to celestial herbs might result in uncontrollable changes.
If Yu Ziqing could handle it, let Yu Ziqing only focus on celestial herbs, without considering anything else.
After recounting everything he had witnessed, Shi directly vanished.
Yu Ziqing landed on the seabed, unable to resist scratching his head.
He used to worry, cautiously hiding and protecting the Juice.
Later, he learned that the stronger and older these fellows were, the more they feared celestial herbs.
Even mentioning the Undying Mandala at its peak blooming period somewhere in the Abyss wasn't necessary, such saplings like Juice, the stronger ones dared not provoke, and they didn't even dare come close.
It's just that celestial herbs, by nature, unlike other living beings, didn't have overly complex thoughts, mostly growing quietly.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be any matters for All Gods.
Now listening to Shi's account, Yu Ziqing thought he might as well ask the Juice when he returns.
He didn't think it was a coincidence that the seed he planted in the heart of the Ancient Sea God now had an external appearance, resembling a Victory Spring Flower.
