Lin Yu is back.

They returned from underground, not only subduing the lizardmen once again but also obtaining the Xuanhuang Qi.

Ao Shuang and the others were overjoyed.

The two energies of Xuanhuang and Jiujiu are the foundation for becoming a Golden Immortal, just like the Qi of Nine-Nine.

Without this, even if one becomes an immortal or a celestial being, it is absolutely impossible to advance further.

Lin Yu truly lived up to his reputation as the chosen one, the reincarnation of the Human Emperor, and ultimately fulfilled his mission!

Boom!

On this day, the earth shook violently.

A major crisis has occurred in the Kunlun Mountains.

The water flow in the Bayangela Mountains has stopped, and the riverbed has completely broken off.

It should be noted that this is the source of the entire Great Xia water system, and even when the dragon vein was severed, this water source was not cut off.

What does this signify?

An unprecedented disaster?

Boom!

The broken water flow did not flow to the ground, but instead formed a waterspout that surged toward the portal in the sky!

This scene truly shocked the guardians.

"This is bad! The upper realm is going all in! They're using great magical power to draw in the earth's energy from the lower realm and force open the gate!"

"How is that possible? Weren't they completely isolated from the lower realm? How could they still mobilize the earth's energy in the human world!"

"That must be a heaven-defying magic weapon, an ultimate imperial weapon once possessed by a supreme being of the human race!"

Ao Shuang finally revealed the truth!

Sure enough, through the Heavenly Gate, everyone seemed to see the phantom of a giant gourd, which was what sucked the huge waterspout up.

"Yu'er, quickly activate the Myriad Immortals Formation!"

Ao Shuang shouted, but Lin Yu had already entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation without her reminder.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation shone brightly, interfering with the speed of water absorption, but that was all.

More than one Golden Immortal from the Upper Realm is activating the gourd, and even the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is powerless to reverse the situation!

"This can't go on. In at most a day, the Heavenly Gate will be crushed by the water system. We must find a way!"

Ao Shuang suddenly had an idea and said to Lin Yu, "Yu'er, you and Xue Qing should go to the South China Sea. There is an island in the South China Sea called Tianya Haijiao. There is a pillar stone on the island that is rooted in the seabed for 20,000 miles. It is one of the sea-stabilizing needles left by Yu the Great when he controlled the floods thousands of years ago. Go and retrieve it. It may be able to stabilize the water source!"

"Okay, Grandma, we will definitely get the magic needle!"

The mortal realm has reached a critical juncture of life and death. Even if it means going through fire and water, Lin Yu is determined to brave it! He doesn't care about the ends of the earth!

Holding Lu Xueqing's delicate hand, the two transformed into two shooting stars, heading straight for the South China Sea.

...

The ends of the earth are hard to find.

In a thick fog.

An isolated island.

The couple arrived at the reef island together.

On the beach, a huge, jagged rock formation stands.

"With so many stone pillars, resembling a stone forest, which one is the true pillar that stabilizes the sea?"

Lin Yu was in a real bind.

The two split up and searched along the beach.

No clues were found.

After they reunited, they suddenly saw a fisherman returning from the sea in his fishing boat.

This place, Tianya Haijiao, is a place that even they find very difficult to find. How could an ordinary fisherman possibly get in?

The two of them were naturally not foolish enough to think that this person was an ordinary person.

"Ahem! Greetings to the two revered saints, the Human Emperor and the Queen Mother!"

The old man brought the boat to shore, came to the bank, and bowed to the couple.

"You recognize us?" Lu Xueqing asked in surprise.

The old man smiled and said, "I am also a reincarnated person, a guardian of the Great Xia World. However, my clan has lived here for generations to protect the Dinghai Divine Needle, a great artifact of the human race!"

"So, you know which of these stone pillars is the 'Sea-Stabilizing Pillar'?" Lu Xueqing asked with a delighted expression.

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "The Sea-Stabilizing Needle is not a divine artifact, nor does it possess any special aura. We, its descendants, have no way of knowing anything about it. There is only one way to find the Sea-Stabilizing Needle!"

"What method?" the couple asked in unison.

The old man pointed to a flat boulder in the distance and said, "Do you see that altar that's ten meters square? There's an ancient formation on it, the God-Shocking Formation, which is on par with Kunlun's Myriad Immortals Formation! It has the power to destroy the heavens and the earth!"

"And then?" Lin Yu asked eagerly.

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly!"

The old man coughed twice and continued, "This Divine Shock Formation can draw lightning from all directions. Once you enter, the formation will be activated, and the lightning will strike down. Whichever stone pillar the lightning hits will become the Stabilizing Pillar!"

"I see! Wow!"

Lin Yu hurriedly went to the altar, but was stopped by the old man.

The old man said, "Don't rush, young man. Your cultivation level is too low. If you summon lightning, you might not be able to escape unscathed. Let this, uh, this Biyao Venerable go up!"

"Lin Yu, let me go. Just wait for me!"

Lu Xueqing raised an eyebrow and immediately flew towards the altar.

"Oh, Xueqing!"

Lin Yu wanted to give chase, but found that he was already frozen in place by Lu Xueqing's Longevity Domain, so he had to give up.

Just as Lu Xueqing flew onto the altar... Boom!

The entire altar flickered, and the Divine Shock Array was activated!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One bolt of lightning after another struck the sky, eventually converging into a huge pool above the reef.

"This, this is a tribulation of lightning!"

Lin Yu looked horrified.

Even a fool could see that this was no ordinary lightning; this level of lightning had reached the point of divine punishment!

It should be understood that even immortals may not be able to escape unscathed from divine punishment; a single blow from divine punishment could severely injure them!

"Wife, come back quickly!"

Lin Yu shouted, telling Lu Xueqing to come back.

But Lu Xueqing seemed not to hear, she wanted to hold out until the thunder came down and find the real stabilizing force.

boom!

The first bolt of lightning struck down, hitting a stone pillar.

Boom!

The stone pillar trembled violently, and the stone skin fell off in a rustling sound, revealing a huge iron rod gleaming with golden light.

The pillar that stabilizes the sea!

Boom!

Before everyone could even feel their joy, the second bolt of lightning struck down, but instead of hitting the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, it struck down on Lu Xueqing.

ah--

A scream rang out, and Lu Xueqing's back instantly exploded, turning into a charred mess.

He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Wife!!" Lin Yu's eyes widened in fury as he immediately turned to the fisherman beside him. "Didn't you say this Divine Array was for finding the Sea-Stabilizing Needle? Why is it attacking people? Why?!"

The old man sneered, then suddenly changed his tone, "Heh heh, I never said it wouldn't strike people. If you want to get the treasure, don't you need to pay a price? That God-Shocking Array was originally meant for sacrifice, hahahaha!"

That sound...

"Feng Wuhen! You are Feng Wuhen!!" Lin Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
