A few days later.
"Almost done." Shi Liuli clapped his hands decisively, "The next step is to transport it to the leaky roof."
"How to transport it?" An Zhisu asked curiously.
"Let me remind you that the heat inside the fragment of the Bu Tian Stone is extremely high right now, so it can easily melt gold and fossils." Xu Yinglian said.
"Almost all magic weapons are unable to hold such a high-temperature object." Shi Liuli thought, "Perhaps we can try to pull it..."
Then she discovered that the Sky-Repairing Stone in the Earth Fire Furnace had disappeared.
"That's all." After putting the Sky-Repairing Stone into the space of the Tianji Divine Shuttle, Chen Guanshui said calmly.
Everyone looked at each other, secretly alert in their hearts: How many cards does this guy have?
The group left the underwater cave and then flew straight into the sky on their swords.
Above the sky, strong winds were still blowing violently, the sound of the devil lingered in the ears, and countless tadpole characters were spinning rapidly on the barrier of the sky, as gorgeous and dazzling as a kaleidoscope.
There is also a place called "Packing the Sky", which abruptly lies between the tadpole-shaped rivers, like an ugly scar on the delicate skin.
Chen Guanshui flew closer to the location of the Sky-Bulding Stone and looked at it carefully.
There are five stones in total, arranged in a plum blossom shape, all emitting beautiful colorful light, and it is impossible to tell which one has a problem.
"It's the one on the upper right." Kunlun Mirror suddenly said, "If you scan it, you will find that there are many cracks inside. It won't hold up for too long."
"Where did these cracks come from?" Xu Yinglian suddenly asked.
"Everything in the world has a lifespan," Kunlun Mirror replied, "and the Bu Tian Stone is no exception. As for why this one was chosen, it can only be said that the quality of its refining was lower than that of the other four, so it is natural that it will reach the end of its lifespan first."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Shi Liuli thought to himself, is this a hint to us that those who are not qualified will be eliminated first?
"So where should the stone be placed?" Chen Guanshui asked again, "under this sky-repairing stone?"
"We have to make a formation." Shi Liuli said, "so that the two stones can stick together and not fall off before the smelting is completely completed."
"How to do it?" Chen Guanshui asked puzzledly.
Shi Liuli looked at him in surprise.
"Brother, wasn't you a master of formations when you played Jingyun in Penglai?" Xu Yinglian asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Maybe when I switched back to the identity of Chen Guanshui, I forgot that I had this setting." Shi Liuli said with a smile.
"Will playing too many roles lead to memory disorder?" An Zhisu felt a little distressed.
"Well, I'll study it." Chen Guanshui said quickly.
Senior sister, they are slandering me, please don’t take it seriously.
After spending almost half a day, he finally designed a formation that could restrain the fragments of the Bu Tian Stone and attach them to the damaged Bu Tian Stone.
Next, it was Sister An’s turn to appear.
An Zhisu took a deep breath and adjusted her state.
The people of Shushan hid in the sea 1,200 miles to the west, waiting.
As long as he had almost finished refining the Bu Tian Stone and gave a signal, they would come directly and rush over to drive away Qiong Ying and Dong You.
If the husband wants to ascend, stop him; if he does not want to ascend, bring him back to Shushan.
It's a perfect plan, I really can't find any flaws.
She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then she pinched the Taoist formula with her hands, and the Sun True Fire Sword shot out like lightning, like a huge blowgun, spitting endless Sun True Fire towards the Sky-Repairing Stone.
Chen Guanshui watched intently and suddenly asked:
"This fire is too strong. Won't it melt the intact Heaven-Repairing Stone?"
"No." Xu Yinglian replied, "The melting of the Bu Tian Stone requires a heating process."
"The fragments have already been melted, and the temperature is the highest. Heat can more easily penetrate the cracked fragments of the Bu Tian Stone, so these two will be melted and bonded first."
“As soon as the bonding is complete, stop heating and it won’t affect the rest of the area.”
Chen Guanshui listened carefully but couldn't find any problems, so he nodded to show that he understood.
An Zhisu pointed his sword upward and activated his true energy. The true fire of the sun seemed endless, blazingly baking the leak in the sky, making the surrounding sky glow red, like the brilliant morning glow, or like clouds on fire.
The elders from Kunlun, Shushan and Penglai in the distance, whether hiding on islands, in the sea or in caves, all noticed the strange celestial phenomenon in the distance - the majestic hot air spread in all directions along the sky, even forming a heat island convection effect, and the speed of the clouds moving was several times faster, making it seem as if time was speeding up.
An Zhisu activated his true energy for several days, Chen Guanshui and others stood guard by his side for several days, and the Three Pure Ones of the Orthodox Sect also waited in the distance for several days. Once the Heaven-Burn Stone was completely melted, they would show their true colors and fight to the death.
Although this astronomical phenomenon is strange, the Southeast Sky Leak is more than ten thousand miles away from Shenzhou after all, so there is no need to worry that any passing monks will be attracted here.
However, what everyone didn't know was that two teams were heading this way.
"I think it's at the leaky sky." The heartbroken sister stopped to rest for a moment, and looked at the air again to confirm the direction, "That's right."
"What is he doing at the Sky Leak?" Jiang Li asked in confusion, "Could it be that he feels sorry for my wife who has to go through the sky too hard and wants to open a shortcut for me?"
"I don't think so." Qingshang said honestly, "If there is a hole in the sky, the Chaos River will definitely flow back, and the stars in it will also be attracted, and this world will definitely be destroyed directly... I don't think anyone with a clear mind would do this."
"If you're not going to poke a hole in the sky, are you going to repair the sky?" Jiang Li said with a smile.
The emotional injury immediately stopped talking.
"Uh..." Witch Jiang thought about it carefully and it seemed that it was not impossible.
Go to the place where the sky leaks, and either poke the sky, or repair the sky, or do nothing... It's impossible to do nothing, right?
Seeing Jiang Li'an's thoughtful expression, Qingshang asked cautiously:
"Sister An, you're not angry?"
"Why should I be angry?" Jiang Li asked her in an angrily tone, "If there is a problem with the sky, the galaxy will flow backwards, and the world will be destroyed directly. It will be a lot less fun, right?"
"That's what you say." Qingshang said with a wry smile, "But I heard that many sisters who are not strong enough are looking for holes near the sky leak to break in."
"If my brother-in-law repairs the sky and makes it more stable, wouldn't the hole be smaller? Then what will the sisters do?"
"Why should I care what they do?" Jiang Li said unhappily, "It doesn't affect me anyway, so they can do whatever they want."
Qingshang thought about it carefully. Anyway, she also had a way to penetrate the sky. As for the other sisters...even Li An, the eldest sister, didn't care about them, so why should she worry about them?
"So, sister, are you planning to go and cheer for your brother-in-law?" Qingshang asked tentatively again.
"No, no, no." Jiang Li laughed secretly, "Repairing the sky... this thing has great merit, right?"
"Yes." Qingshang nodded and said, "The origin of the heavenly way in this world has a stubborn and hard character. It is the most rigid. If someone is willing to extend its life, it will definitely find a way to repay it."
"That's good." Witch Jiang laughed, "I will suddenly rush out and subdue him at the last moment when he is about to succeed in repairing the sky, and then enjoy his regretful look."
Sadness: ...
"After the appreciation, I will make him beg me, lick me, and please me." Witch Jiang continued to show her devilish nature and said happily, "If he can make me happy, I will take him back to the Demon Palace and make him regret it for the rest of his life!"
"Shouldn't we ask him to continue mending the sky?" Qingshangqi asked, why would someone kidnap someone just to make him happy?
"Nonsense." Jiang Li sneered and said, "If he really gets great merit and the Heavenly Dao protects him, how can I tie him up and take him back to the Demon Palace?"
"Then if we go back to the Demon Palace, can I, your sister, also have a taste?" Qingshang asked eagerly.
Seeing Jiang Li'an's expression turn unfriendly, she quickly explained:
"I'm not talking about cannibalism. I'm just saying that I'm going to be a mortal woman and fall in love with him... No, no, no, it's not about falling in love, it's just about making friends... It's not just about making friends, it's just... I'm just going to do whatever my sister wants me to do."
"If you want to be a mortal so badly, I'll go to the brothel and find a prostitute, seal your memory and stuff it into her body, how about that?" Jiang Li asked darkly.
"Sister, spare me!" Qingshang quickly knelt down and hugged her thighs, "I was just joking. After all, you are so happy, I was a little jealous. I was too envious and that's why I said such nonsense!"
"Hmph." Jiang Li'an kicked her with his foot, indicating that she could get up. "You should stop thinking about things that you shouldn't think about, so as not to suffer a tragic disaster... So how far are we from the Southeast Sky Leak?"
The two demons continued on their way. Meanwhile, the demons also took a detour from the South China Sea and headed towards the Southeast Sky Pillar.
"Although most people outside don't know, it's no secret inside Kunlun." Hu Li explained to everyone, "Kunlun announced to the outside that Chang Geng had gone out to set up his own sect, but in fact he stole the fragment of the Bu Tian Stone and defected."
"How strange." Emperor Yinglong said in amazement, "Since he has already defected, why doesn't the sect acknowledge him?"
"Because it's useless to admit it." Dragon Fox was thinking beside him, "If we can catch it, of course we don't have to admit it; but if we can't catch it, admitting it will only make people laugh, so it's better to cover it up."
"Hmph." Feng Long, who was dressed as a lean old man, twirled his beard and said, "If Kunlun Changgeng and Long Long are really the same person, I want to see what secret method this person uses to play multiple roles at the same time without arousing suspicion... It's probably that this person's soul is split and there are multiple consciousnesses in his body."
"How is your injury, senior?" Yinglong suddenly interrupted him.
"I still need to recuperate." Feng Long looked at Ying Long again and said with emotion, "I never thought that there would be a descendant of my clan who could purify his bloodline to the Ying Long realm. It seems that God will not abandon me."
"I'm glad that you're okay, senior." Yinglong smiled without saying anything.
He had already seen that this senior had no intention of fighting for power and gain, but was obsessed with restoring his cultivation. That was why he helped him with the Yinglong secret method to heal the injuries to his soul.
Nowadays, most of the powerful people in the Jiaolong clan have died out, so it would be a good thing to welcome back an immortal ancestor in the human world.
Moreover, his Yinglong secret method can heal injuries very slowly. Preliminary estimates show that it will take at least ten thousand years - that is to say, in the next ten thousand years, this senior will definitely be loyal to the Jiaolong clan and work for his daughter in exchange for himself healing his injuries. This deal is really a good deal.
Inviting people back like Shi Yao did, but not being able to control their abilities, would actually result in dividing most of the power of Donghuang Dao, which is really too short-sighted.
"Father." Dragon Fox's voice interrupted his thoughts, "If Long Long took the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone in order to repair the sky, then father, can you wait until he finishes repairing the sky before taking action?"
"Why?" Yinglong asked curiously, "Do you want him to repair the sky?"
"It takes a lot of merit to mend the sky. If he really gets the blessing of heaven, it will be difficult to catch him then."
"My daughter is not trying to control him." Longhu explained in a low voice, "My daughter just thinks that if there is really any problem with the sky leak, it will also affect our Donghuang Realm."
Yinglong didn't think so. Even if there was a hole in the sky, he could first subdue Long Long, then take the Heaven-Repairing Stone to repair the sky and forcibly share the merit.
No, why would I want to snatch merit from my son-in-law? How will my daughter view me in the future?
After wavering for a moment between "great merit" and "daughter's admiration", Yinglong quickly chose the latter.
But if he saw that bastard had finished repairing the sky (and one of the fragments was stolen from my daughter) (not only did he steal the fragments, he also stole my heart), Yinglong felt that it was really hard to understand.
I asked you to save my daughter, but I didn't ask you to make so many calculations!
Well, how about we wait until he finishes his repairs and then teach him a lesson?
Powerful forces from all sides gathered in the East China Sea, and the center of the storm was undoubtedly the Southeast Tianzhu.
Under the sky leak, An Zhisu was still activating the sword's Taoist magic. When she was exhausted, Chen Guanshui would immediately go over to give her water and pills to help her refine the medicinal power.
Behind him, Shi Liuli looked indifferent, Xu Yinglian seemed to be smiling, and Kunlun Jing looked innocent. Although their expressions and attitudes were different, they all remained silent.
Seeing the sun's true fire burning brightly, Chen Guanshui was also excited.
It’s almost there, it’s almost there!
As soon as this sky-repairing is finished, a great moral power will immediately descend upon me, the three flowers will gather at the top of my head, my merits will turn me into a saint, and from then on I will become the legitimate son of Heaven, and no one in the world can stop me in the slightest!
I, Chen Guanshui, after going through countless hardships, am finally about to ascend to the throne of the sky and take back my supreme status!
Just as he was thinking this, he saw An Zhisu suddenly stop and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"My true energy is a little insufficient. Allow me to recover for a moment," she explained.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Although Chen Guanshui was anxious, he knew it was not good to rush her, so he could only turn around and ask Xu Yinglian, "Junior sister, can you use the fire method to help maintain the temperature while I rest?"
What senior sister? Your senior sister has nothing to do with me!
Xu Yinglian was secretly angry, but nodded coldly, then took over An Zhisu's position, spewing fire from his mouth and nose, burning towards the position of the Bu Tian Stone.
Shi Liuli was standing the farthest away. When she saw An Zhisu coming down to rest, a faint light suddenly seemed to fly out from her sleeve and disappear.
After thinking for a while, Shi Liuli put his hands in his sleeves, turned his head slightly to look towards the west, and quickly looked away calmly.
