"So the sea level is rising?" Xu Yinglian asked solemnly.

"That's about right." Qiu Changtian looked at the sea and said slowly, "After a while, the area of ​​the island has shrunk a lot."

"What if we dig a hole and crawl into it?"

"Then when the sea level rises and completely submerges the island, water will still flow in through the hole."

"It seems I need to use a magic weapon that can avoid water." Xu Yinglian said thoughtfully.

Unfortunately, neither of them carried any magic weapon to avoid water - after all, such a thing is useless in the Kunlun Mountains.

"I'll try diving again." Xu Yinglian said unwillingly.

"I'll accompany you." Qiu Changtian said.

The two men came to the edge of the island, jumped into the sea, and dived deep down.

Since the monk has already practiced fasting and tortoise breathing, the general deep-sea environment, whether it is the inability to breathe or the water pressure, cannot cause any harm to the monk.

But the deep sea here has huge and chaotic currents constantly surging underneath, making it difficult for the monks to even maintain basic body stability, which is very troublesome.

If you can't maintain your balance and relax for a moment, you won't know where you'll be swept away.

The two dived to a depth of three hundred feet, and they saw a hint of bright blue color suddenly appear in the originally dark and lightless waters below.

It was a star that had fallen and embedded itself inside a mountain, and was now submerged in the deep sea. At the great distance from us, we could not see its specific outline for the time being, and we could only see a large blue fireball, burning fiercely in the sea water.

As we continued to get closer, the surrounding sea water quickly heated up, from freezing cold to scorching hot.

If they continue to get closer, even the monk's body will not be able to withstand the increasingly intense heat.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian looked at each other for a moment, and they could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

This is the most deadly danger in the deep sea.

A falling star can heat the surrounding sea water to boiling point.

If you allow the undercurrent around you to sweep you around, and then rush into the scalding sea water surrounding the stars, or even crash head-on into the burning stars themselves, you will die instantly.

However, as long as you stay in the sea for a long time, you have to continue to consume your true energy to resist the impact of the undercurrent. When your true energy is completely exhausted, you will still be forced to "go with the flow".

No wonder the old man said that what needs to be tested is the so-called "good fortune and luck".

If you are unlucky, you may be sucked into the surrounding of the stars and turned into ashes and die; if you are lucky, you may be safe even if you drift in the deep sea for several days.

Speaking of this, Qiu Changtian suddenly thought of Shi Liuli again.

With Miss Shi's luck and her almost miraculous divination skills, wouldn't she be like a fish in water here?

On the other hand, although Junior Sister Xu's fire-based magic is also superb, she is almost useless when faced with such a deep-sea environment.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Xu Yinglian asked in secret.

"There's nothing to see in the sea." Qiu Changtian replied, "Let's go back."

"Yeah." Xu Yinglian nodded in agreement.

The two of them rose to the surface again, and were swept by various turbulences in the middle. Fortunately, both Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian had more powerful true energy than their peers, so they were able to resist.

Leaving the sea and returning to the island, the island now only has one-third of its original area. It is obvious that the sea level is still continuing to rise as if endlessly, feeling like a global warming horror movie.

"What if we dig a hole here on the island and then try to seal the hole to prevent water from flooding in?" Xu Yinglian had another sudden idea.

"Not very good." Qiu Changtian pondered, "Based on the pressure we endured at the bottom of the sea before, ordinary magic weapons or spells cannot seal the cave entrance for a long time."

"More importantly, if a star happens to hit us, can such a hole in the ground withstand the attack of the star?"

Xu Yinglian was speechless.

Indeed, if the stars were to hit their location, the only way to save their lives would be to leave as quickly as possible.

If the two were in an open-air environment, it would be fine, at least they could see what was happening in the sky. But if they were hiding in a cave and lost the ability to detect the outside world, if they were really unlucky and a star hit them on the head, they would almost certainly die.

"Is it possible that we can only stay outside and deal with the situation?" Xu Yinglian frowned.

The two looked up at the sky, and Qiu Changtian suddenly had an idea and said:

"Why don't we go above the clouds and take a look?"

Since there is heavy rain below the clouds, the negative impact is too annoying, whether it affects the performance of Taoist magic or hinders the monks from flying with swords, so it would be good if you can hide from the rain above the clouds.

Xu Yinglian agreed, and the two of them flew up on their swords and quickly rushed towards the sky.

As they got closer to the clouds, the thunder around them became increasingly dense, like lightning snakes dancing in the clouds, rushing towards the two of them.

Qiu Changtian casually used a Taiyi Thunder to blow up all the thunders, preventing them from getting close.

Finally, they passed through the heavy clouds and arrived above the clouds. They saw that the sky, which was originally covered with glazed rune rivers, was now covered with cracks.

A large number of rune rivers were either cut off or twisted and messy, twisting wildly like twitching earthworms.

Surrounding these strange rune rivers are holes in the sky of various sizes.

Boundless water from the chaotic sky river poured down along the hole, forming countless magnificent and majestic waterfalls, and finally rushed into the sea of ​​clouds, stirring up countless mists - they continued to replenish the sea of ​​clouds, pushing the layers of dark clouds to spread in all directions.

Suddenly, a sword light flashed from the other side of the waterfall.

Qiu Changtian looked ahead intently and saw some monks fighting each other there.

Not only in front, sporadic battles were also taking place on the left, right, back, and high above.

Obviously, Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian were not the only ones who thought of taking shelter from the rain above the clouds.

There are no turbulent waves here, no heavy rain to block the view, and even the direction in which the stars fall can be traced.

The only problem is that the field of vision is so good that one can see the monks on the opposite side from a long distance away.

Considering what the old man said, "The twelve cultivators who survive to the end will be able to obtain the position of the master of the Seven Treasures Mysterious Garden," it is self-evident what they will do after discovering cultivators from other sects.

Qiu Changtian was just pondering when he saw Xu Yinglian beside him suddenly open his mouth and spit out an extremely thin golden fire knife.

The golden thread suddenly moved forward and cut the Tianhe Waterfall on the side of the two people in half. The demon monk who was hiding behind the waterfall and was waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the two people was also killed instantly by the Red Feather Nine Phoenix Fire and unwillingly turned into light and left.

Seeing that there were no corpses left on the opposite side, Qiu Changtian knew that it must be the protection mechanism of the secret realm that sent these losers out of the secret realm.

"Senior brother, how is it?" Xu Yinglian asked eagerly.

Rather than getting wet in the rain and being flooded below, she would rather fight with monks from other sects above the clouds.

"We can't stay here." Qiu Changtian made a quick decision, "Let's go down."
