Since she didn't know how to use earth escape techniques or fire escape techniques, she couldn't search along the main vein of earth and fire. Therefore, Senior Sister An once again used the simple and crude thinking of the Shushan disciples:
Hard cut.
I'll just chop wherever you want me to go.
The Sun Zhenmei Sword highly praised this behavior, because it actually didn't like the complicated Taoism and secret techniques of human cultivators. They looked fancy, but in fact they could not withstand a single blow from a flying sword.
However, An Zhisu's progress was too slow, which made it unbearable.
Even if the rock wall is as hard as tofu, cutting a passage for passage is not something that can be done in a few steps - after all, the flying sword is not in the shape of a shovel.
But as the divine sword of Fuxi, even the master of the Sun Sword is not worthy of its active help, let alone this woman who is not even the master of the sword.
She has to beg me.
Then the Sun Zhenmei Sword spoke:
"Jiang Xiao, don't you think this is too slow?"
"Yeah." An Zhisu did not deny this, "but at least it is useful."
"No." Taiyang Zhenmei Sword said quickly, "It's useful, but don't you want to try a more useful method?"
"You mean..." An Zhisu came to his senses, "You have a more effective way to advance on the seabed..."
"No, I didn't say I did." Taiyang Zhenmeijian said immediately, lest An Zhisu ask, "What is your solution?" "Of course, I don't deny that I did. This is something you need to figure out first, understand?"
An Zhisu: ...
I totally don't understand.
"So can you help me, or can't you?" she asked bluntly.
Such rude and straightforward words made the Sun Sword very entangled. On the one hand, it admired this kind of straightforward character, but on the other hand, it was very difficult, because the Fuxi Sword had its own pride and dignity. Even if the sword master wanted to use their power, they had to be careful and negotiated... There was absolutely no reason for the sword to take the initiative to help. What would it be? A servant?
"I mean," it tried to organize its words, "let's assume that you are making your own way now, right? And it's very slow, so you need to find a better way..."
"So I asked you if you have a better way." An Zhisu said.
"No, no, no." Sun Zhenmei Sword quickly denied, "You can't say that, because I am Sun Zhenmei Sword, understand? How can you be so abrupt and presumptuous to ask about the human race's clan-guarding sword? Isn't this disrespectful to it?"
"So you don't want to answer?" An Zhisu asked with a frown.
"It's not that I don't want to." Taiyang Zhenmeijian was also very annoyed. "Let me ask you, if you want Master to teach you a secret method, what would you do?"
"Just ask directly." An Zhisu said.
"Ask directly?" Taiyang Zhenmei Sword was a little dumbfounded. "What if it is a very precious secret technique that cannot be passed on lightly?"
"I'm asking directly." An Zhisu said, "Master only has me and my junior brother as his disciples. If he doesn't pass on the teachings to us, who else can he pass it on to?"
"Well then." Taiyang Zhenmei Sword was forced to change the setting, "Suppose your master has many disciples, and this secret technique cannot be passed on easily, so you must show a certain attitude so that your master will feel that he can pass on the secret technique to you."
"No need to go through so much trouble." An Zhisu was a little confused by it. "My master and I... Even if he has many disciples and the secret technique can only be passed on to one person, he will definitely pass it on to me."
"It's good to be confident." Taiyang Zhenmeijian laughed disdainfully, "But you probably don't know that even the relationship between master and disciple in this world is not always close. For example, an old story I know..."
It vividly tells a story of "a master and a disciple turning against each other over the inheritance of a secret technique", and finally concludes:
"Many disciples think that their master will treat them well unconditionally, but they don't know that their master probably has selfish motives. After all..."
"No after all." An Zhisu could only say honestly, "I am his daughter."
Sun's True Sword: ...
So they are father and daughter. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?
It is indeed a bit ridiculous to talk about "selfish motives" between a father and his daughter. Can an apprentice and his own daughter be the same thing?
"Okay, let's not talk about the master." It could only change its words, "What about the sect's immortal? If you want to learn a secret technique that only immortals know, how would you behave so that the immortal would pass it on to you?"
"Why must an immortal teach me?" An Zhisu asked impatiently, "If the master doesn't know how to do it, then I won't learn it."
"Suppose you must learn, okay?" Taiyang Zhenmei Sword also said madly, "Suppose you must learn, otherwise you won't be able to find your junior brother!"
"Then I will ask my master to learn it and then pass it on to me," said An Zhisu.
"Ha, do you know how difficult it is to talk to the sect guardian immortals in most sects?" Taiyang Zhenmei Sword sneered, "You must know that tradition is the foundation of inheritance. If you want to learn someone's Taoist secrets, how can you get them with just a few words? Let alone a Yuanying cultivator, even if your master is the sect master, if you want to ask for secrets from the sect guardian immortal, you can only bow respectfully, say nice things, and use all your favors..."
"The immortal is my master." said An Zhisu.
Sun's True Sword: ...
"And my master is the only disciple of my great master." An Zhisu added.
Taiyang Zhenmei Sword was really at a loss and could only say frankly:
"Okay, I have a method that can allow you to pass through the seabed as if nothing is there. But I can't just give it to you like that, after all, you are not the Sun Sword Master..."
"Then how can you give it to me?" An Zhisu asked.
"Please ask me first, and then I'll consider it..."
"I beg you." An Zhisu said bluntly, "Please teach me this secret technique."
The Sun Shinmei Sword finally had no way to deal with her, so he could only sigh and say:
"Since you have asked sincerely, even though I am the Fuxi Divine Sword, I can still show mercy..."
"Junior brother asked for the secret method of Su Ming Sword, but it has never been so troublesome." An Zhisu was also a little annoyed by it and couldn't help but complain.
"Haha? How is that possible!" Taiyang Zhenmei Sword said disdainfully, "You are not the Taiyin Sword Master, don't you know that Su Ming is much more troublesome than me!"
"For me, as long as the sword master's request is legitimate and his attitude is sincere, I will generally help."
"But Su Ming has a mischievous personality and likes to play tricks on people, often putting the Sword Master in a difficult position. It's wishful thinking to think that you can deal with it with just a few words!"
"Believe it or not." An Zhisu shook his head and said, "Anyway, Junior Brother has never been troubled by his natal sword, and he won't be as long-winded as you."
"Great!" The Sun Sword was delighted to receive the title of "Loluosuosuo" and immediately became furious. When had it ever been evaluated like this by the Sun Sword Masters of all generations? Moreover, this woman was not even a Sword Master!
"After I meet Su Ming, if you tell even a single lie, you're done for!" It gnashed its teeth and said, "Shut up and listen to me!"
An Zhisu remained silent, listening to the secret method passed down by the Sun Zhenmei Sword, which was to focus the infinite sword energy and turn it into a huge beam of light that shot forward, thus breaking the enemy's defensive magic weapons or formation restrictions.
Of course, the soil and rocks in the underwater cave were not as difficult to deal with as the defensive magic weapons. They melted quickly using this method, and the speed was many times faster than the previous cutting speed.
An Zhisu followed the main vein of the earth fire to find the place where the sky-repairing stone was smelted on the other side. Kunlun Jing went outside to find Chen Guanshui and comforted him with soft words:
"Guan Shui, don't be too angry. After all, they just discovered each other's existence and it's hard for them to accept the reality, so it's inevitable that they'll be a little mad."
"I know." Chen Guanshui said angrily, "But now is the critical moment of the plan to repair the sky. Is there anything that can't be put off until later?"
"If there is a problem in the smelting of the Heaven-Repairing Stone, which leads to the failure of the Heaven-Repairing Project, who can bear the responsibility? What is the guilt of the world and the people? Why should we care about these trivial love and hatred in the face of justice?"
Kunlun Jing laughed secretly in his heart, but said:
"That's right, but they probably don't have any idea about the catastrophe of world destruction. After all, only immortals who have lived long enough can sense that the spiritual energy in this world is fading too fast, which clearly means that their life span is coming to an end. But for Nascent Soul cultivators, what the immortals say is not as credible as what they see themselves."
"It's not a question of whether or not I can trust them." Chen Guanshui said seriously, "They have been with me for so many years, don't they know my character?"
"If it wasn't a disaster of the magnitude of the Great Disaster of World Destruction, why would I have compromised and hidden in the major sects as an undercover agent? If everyone thinks I'm ungrateful, then who will collect the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone? It seems that even if a person who does great things makes a small mistake, he deserves to be denounced and slandered, right?"
"Well, I think they were just arguing with each other." Kunlun Jing said patiently, "My husband, you just happened to try to make peace, so you naturally ran into the trap."
"Husband?"
"Oh, I mean, as their husband, you." Kunlun Jing laughed and calmly said, "By the way, what are you going to do?"
"What should we do?" Chen Guanshui expressed his confusion.
"It's about how to deal with the current situation." Kunlun Mirror analyzed for him, "You see, now there are only Qiongying and Dongyou competing for favor, and there is only one rival in love, so the two of them can be hostile to each other without restraint and use all kinds of methods to attack each other. There is no way the harem can be harmonious."
"But if there is a third person, then the two will shift their focus from 'conflict with each other' to 'winning over allies' in order to gain strategic advantages, which makes it easier to maintain a balance of power."
"What you said makes sense." Chen Guanshui said thoughtfully, "But how do we find the third person?"
"Senior Sister An is straightforward. She wanted to draw her sword and chop me when we met. She has no intention of fighting with them. Madam Jiang is too high-level. I am afraid she will eat everyone else. The little fox... is far away in the Eastern Emperor Realm. I can't reach her. What can I do?"
He was talking to himself like this, and suddenly frowned and looked at Kunlun Mirror suspiciously, and asked tentatively:
"A Jing, you're not trying to recommend yourself, are you?"
"How could that be possible!" Kunlun Jing quickly denied it, but then suddenly realized what was happening and asked in astonishment, "Why do you think I'm recommending myself?"
"No way, you're not really interested in me, are you?" She covered her mouth and smirked, "Does Guanshui think my body is attractive too?"
"No!" Chen Guanshui immediately denied, "I just checked the women I have a good relationship with, and I thought of you by the way."
"Haha." Kunlun Jing was unhappy in his heart, but said calmly, "Anyway, I have given you the idea, and it is up to you how to do it."
Chen Guanshui also knew that this broken mirror was unreliable, so he could only rack his brains and think hard.
He was going crazy outside, while Xu Yinglian and Shi Liuli stayed in the inner room where the earth fire was smelting, staring at the Sky-Bulding Stone without saying a word to each other.
As the saying goes, a barking dog never bites. The same is true for domestic disputes.
If you are really determined to get rid of the other person, there is no need to say anything harsh or show any displeasure. This will only make the other person alert.
"What should the others do?" Shi Liuli suddenly asked for no reason.
"What?" Xu Yinglian was stunned at first, then understood in an instant, "You mean, his Shushan Qingheng identity? Jiang Xiao?"
"Well, you guessed it as expected." Shi Liuli nodded and said, "Jiang Xiao's personality is not as easy to talk to as mine."
Are you easy to talk to? I think your sharp tongue is no less vicious than Jiang Xiao's swordsmanship.
Xu Yinglian thought for a moment and sneered:
"Whether it's good to talk or not, you're the one who should be worried."
If Jiang Xiao is very scheming, then it will certainly be bad for Shi Liuli; but if it is Jiang Xiao's true character, as she has shown in the past, and she is as simple-minded as she was, then she will draw her sword after a few words. Xu Yinglian will certainly not be afraid, and it will be a great disadvantage for Shi Liuli, who is not very strong in fighting.
"Indeed." Shi Liuli smiled, "So we can join forces."
"Join forces?" Xu Yinglian asked meaningfully.
The tone of voice means: Is it necessary? Go on.
"Yes, let's join forces." Shi Liuli said calmly, "First eliminate her, and then we can fight it out, how about it?"
Xu Yinglian did not comment.
"As for why we are joining forces, it's also very simple." Shi Liuli continued, "Although you and I are both determined to win our husbands, we are not as persistent as Jiang Xiao. She has asked for love in Shushan before, and when it comes to Taoism, there is absolutely no possibility of compromise."
"That is to say, whether to you or to me, Jiang Xiao is the most threatening one."
"Fortunately, she has a fierce personality and is very clear about what she loves and hates. It seems that she has not yet forgiven the fact that her husband betrayed Shushan."
Seeing that Xu Yinglian still hadn't expressed his opinion, Shi Liuli cursed inwardly and could only throw out his trump card:
"So we might as well start from this point and induce her to sever her relationship with her husband with her own hands."
"Your words are contradictory." Xu Yinglian suddenly said, "Since she has already asked for love and will never compromise, how could she cut off the relationship with her own hands?"
"What I mean," Shi Liuli said slowly, "is to make my husband give up on her."
