Huang Jiujiu carried the two people and landed on a mountain.
There is a new vein of spiritual stone under your feet.
“Chirp—”
"Master, praise me!"
Huang Jiujiu's body shrank to a small bird the size of a palm.
"Great! Huang Jiu is the embodiment of hard work and beauty!"
"hey-hey!"
Huang Jiujiu closed her eyes slightly and shook her head with a look of joy, as if she was drunk.
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
The next moment.
He took Shu Xiaoxiao and Huang Jiujiu and sank into the spirit stone vein under their feet.
Then he waved his hand, and instantly opened up a sufficiently wide passage.
"Master, I won't disturb you from practicing. Xiaoxiao is also going to prepare for a breakthrough!"
"Yeah!" Jiang Yuan nodded slightly.
Huang Jiujiu looked up at Jiang Yuan and immediately noticed Jiang Yuan's gaze looking at her.
She suddenly felt a little nervous and spoke quickly.
"Ah! Master, don't look at me. I want to take a nap!"
"Then go to sleep!"
A smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's lips.
Huang Jiujiu felt relieved when she heard these words.
He rubbed Jiang Yuan's shoulders twice.
Adjust to a comfortable sleeping position.
Jiang Yuan then sat down cross-legged and opened his panel to take a look.
[Realm]: Fourth level of the Four Extremes Realm (74.58%)
[Taoist Palace]: Eastern Azure Dragon Palace (1512/9999), Southern Vermillion Bird Palace (0/9999), Western White Tiger Palace (0/9999), Northern Black Tortoise Palace (0/9999)
Then he let out a breath.
Almost two months have passed since I entered the Shenxiao Cave Heaven.
We have to hurry up!
I hope that the rewards for the first two tests left by Saint Shenxiao will be good Chaos Stones.
There is also the Wanxing Tower in the Tianjiao battlefield.
If you want to get enough Chaos Stones, you can only rely on these two places.
If everything goes well.
I should be able to break through to the sixth or seventh level of the Four Extremes Realm before the battle to renegotiate the covenant.
By that time, I should be able to open up the fourth secret realm of the physical body, and be able to compete with the great powers of the cave heaven with my physical body.
With the help of his physique, he is fully capable of fighting against the gibbon macaque.
This way, we won't let down the dean's support.
Jiang Yuan slowly closed his eyes.
He began to activate the Devouring Divine Body, and his body seemed to turn into a black hole, swallowing up all the spiritual stones around it.
He devoured every piece of spiritual stone, which turned into powder and exploded.
The other side.
Shenxiao Mountain.
Feng Yu fell from the ladder again.
"Congratulations, Brother. You have taken another step forward and have reached the eighty-eighth step!"
Chu Pan smiled.
Feng Yu sighed slightly: "It's so difficult! I thought I could break the record!"
"But only after reaching this point did I realize how terrifying the thunder on the ladder is. With each step I climb, its power increases exponentially!"
"Even if I try my best, I can only stand firmly on the 89th step at most, and at most I can barely climb to the 90th step. It will be as difficult as climbing to heaven if I want to go up further!"
Chu Pan said: "Brother, this is already amazing. It has been less than two months since you entered Shenxiao Cave, and you have come this far!"
"Give me another half year to work hard, and I may be able to break the record of level ninety-one."
Feng Yu shook his head: "It's not that simple!"
Then he looked at Chu Pan curiously again: "Junior brother, why don't you go up and try it?"
“No!” Chu Pan covered his chest and continued, “My Dao bones have not grown yet, so I am not suitable to climb the ladder to accept the test now.”
"Then what is Junior Brother Chu trying to do here?"
Feng Yu looked a little curious.
Chu Pan said: "I am here just waiting for Jiang Yuan to show up. I want to see my senior brother teach him a lesson with my own eyes."
Hearing this, Feng Yu smiled slightly.
"I see, that's easy!"
"As long as Jiang Yuan shows up, I will definitely vent my anger on behalf of my junior brother!"
Chu Pan said excitedly: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
"That's not necessary! But your expectations may not be realized."
Feng Yu looked into the distance and said, "It's been almost two months, and he hasn't shown up yet! My previous estimate was wrong. He may not dare to come here to fight me, or he may have escaped!"
In the spirit stone vein.
Jiang Yuan used all his strength to devour and refine the surrounding spirit stones.
Although this process is very boring.
But every day that passed, Jiang Yuan thought about how he had picked up two or three top-grade spiritual treasures for free.
He felt very happy.
Looking at the ever-increasing numbers of his cultivation progress gave him a sense of pleasure in cultivation.
If you work hard you will see rewards, and every moment that passes brings you one step closer to a breakthrough.
This gave him a lot of positive feedback.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Yuan was motivated to work so hard.
Four days later.
Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and glanced at his panel.
[Realm]: Fourth level of the Four Extremes Realm (98.3%)
Almost there!
He felt slightly excited.
The progress of cultivation is only 1.7 percent away from 100%.
With such a gap, 100% progress can be achieved in a few hours at most.
He then glanced at Shu Xiaoxiao in the distance.
She is currently still in the next stage of refining her primordial spirit.
As long as she can achieve this step, breaking through the sixth level of the Dharma Realm will be a natural thing for her.
The next moment, his mind moved.
The golden mist on Shu Xiaoxiao's body instantly merged into his panel, followed by Huang Jiujiu and his own.
As soon as the thirty strands of luck power were credited to his account, Jiang Yuan spent them immediately.
Pour it on the high-level luck seeds again.
Still no response.
Afterwards, he continued to practice with his eyes closed, practicing and devouring the Tao seeds.
In an instant, the whole person seemed to turn into a celestial black hole.
Even the spiritual stones deep in the mines were absorbed and devoured by him.
A fist-sized natural spirit stone could only last for more than ten breaths before he devoured it all and then exploded into powdery crystals.
In the face of his powerful devouring power, the space seemed to be distorted.
The mine was originally filled with faint light, but within three inches of him, it was completely dark.
A few hours later.
Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
[Realm]: Four Extreme Realms, Level 4 (100%)
He glanced at his panel and then closed it.
I whispered to myself in my heart.
It has been almost two months, and it is time to go out and harvest the luck and power of the many geniuses in the Shenxiao Cave.
Jiang Yuan then stood up.
Shu Xiaoxiao noticed something strange, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
"Sir, are you okay?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yuan nodded: "My cultivation progress has reached 100% of the current level, there is no more progress!"
Then Jiang Yuan said, "Xiao Xiao, take Huang Jiu here to practice for a while!"
"This place is extremely important to you!"
"I'm going to take a trip to the sacred mountain in the center of this cave!"
Shu Xiaoxiao nodded obediently: "Okay, Xiaoxiao will listen to you in everything! I will improve my cultivation as soon as possible and try my best not to hold you back."
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "The improvement of your cultivation level can extend your life. I hope you can stay with me longer! I don't want to bury you with my own hands one day."
Shu Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly turned slightly red.
"I also hope to follow you longer!"
Then she said with a firm face: "Don't worry, sir! I will complete the breakthrough as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded.
Then he picked up Huang Jiujiu from his shoulder and threw her to Shu Xiaoxiao.
“Chirp, chirp—”
Huang Jiujiu was suddenly awakened by a series of exclamations.
Jiang Yuan looked at Shu Xiaoxiao again and nodded.
With a move of his body, he left the place in an instant.
The next moment.
He appeared in mid-air.
Looking far into the deepest part of this cave.
Then, he moved instantly and used the small teleportation technique.
Tearing towards the depths of Shenxiao Cave.
Now, his spiritual power can reach seven thousand miles, so a small movement can also reach seven thousand miles.
Such a long teleportation distance is equivalent to consuming seven small teleportation talismans at one time.
Compared to his Rainbow Transformation Technique, it is many times faster.
Jiang Yuan actually understood this point.
After all, his own technique of turning into a rainbow to travel fast was just an evolution of the Small Five Elements Escape Technique.
It’s not a very clever method.
He is still far from being a truly powerful being like those who have attained sainthood.
Not to mention those supreme beings who have reached the pinnacle of the human realm.
The rainbow-transforming travel technique they created must be much more powerful and profound than what I have understood.
Therefore, his rainbow transformation technique cannot bring out his speed perfectly.
The reason why he has such a fast speed now is that he relies on his super strong control of space and his mastery of the five elements rules.
If possible, Jiang Yuan also wanted to change to a more advanced rainbow transformation technique.
But unfortunately it is not possible.
There is simply no place for him to obtain this advanced rainbow transformation technique.
This is the disadvantage of being born into a small force. Once you reach a certain level, you are no different from a casual cultivator.
However, if Jiang Yuan was asked to choose a force to join, he would not be willing to do so now.
There is absolutely no need.
Having the support of the Holy Court was enough for him.
He already knew the future path of cultivation.
You just need to follow the steps step by step, and you can achieve enlightenment and become a saint, and even reach the pinnacle of humanity.
With his magical panel, Jiang Yuan believed that this would not be a problem.
After reaching a certain level, your innate luck that improves your understanding will be upgraded again.
You can create a method that suits you.
Why is it necessary? With all sorts of thoughts in his mind, he continued to perform the Small Teleportation Technique.
A moment later.
He suddenly felt that the rules of space had changed and reorganized, as if an impenetrable fishing net had formed in front of him.
In this case, space becomes extremely solid and cannot be torn or broken.
Naturally, the small teleportation technique cannot be performed.
Jiang Yuan immediately stopped performing the small teleportation technique.
Then he felt the changes in the magic power in his body.
Then he nodded slightly.
It’s really different at this point.
It took more than a hundred small teleportations to consume about one third of my magic power.
If I hadn't come to the core area of Shenxiao Cave Heaven, even if I used up all my magic power, it would be enough for me to appear at the mountain in the center of Shenxiao Cave Heaven in just a cup of tea.
Feeling the changes in space, Jiang Yuan already understood.
He was only one million miles away from the center of Shenxiao Cave Heaven.
Because according to the intelligence records of Shenxiao Cave Heaven.
Shenxiao Cave Heaven is divided into only two areas.
That is the inner and outer areas.
The periphery is where I was before, it is extremely spacious.
As for the inner circle, it starts from here and goes deep into the Shenxiao Mountain, which is a million miles away.
In this area, the space is unusually solid.
Unable to perform any method of teleportation or tearing space apart.
There is only one way for anyone who wants to get to Shenxiao Mountain.
That is to fly over honestly.
Just fly!
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, this is just right for me to recover the mana I have consumed.
He moved and instantly turned into a rainbow and disappeared.
Drag a long five-colored rainbow light across the sky.
At the same time, the power of heaven and earth poured into his body frantically.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan was like a black hole, swallowing up all the free energy between heaven and earth in order to recover the magic power he had lost in the small movement just now.
More than three hours later.
Jiang Yuan saw the Shenxiao Mountain in the distance and slowed down a little.
at the same time.
On the Shenxiao Mountain.
Someone suddenly exclaimed, "Brothers, look over there! Is that Jiang Yuan?"
As soon as his name came out, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Then he saw the five-colored rainbow light that turned into a rainbow.
They all looked sideways.
"Such a fast speed, covering hundreds of miles in an instant! And accompanied by red, black, white, orange and blue rainbow lights, who else could it be except him!"
"I didn't expect it! It turned out to be Jiang Yuan. He didn't even leave Shenxiao Cave Heaven and took nearly two months to come here."
"Yeah! I thought he was afraid of fighting! In order to avoid meeting Feng Yu, he secretly left Shenxiao Cave Heaven!"
"This is going to be interesting! Since Jiang Yuan has accepted Feng Yu's challenge, there will definitely be a fight between the two geniuses on the Supreme List!"
"That's right! There will definitely be a battle. Since Jiang Yuan dares to come here, he should be confident that he can defeat Feng Yu!"
"I think it's uncertain. Feng Yu is a venerable who opened up four great Dao Palaces, and he is also one of the top 100 geniuses of the world. How can Jiang Yuan win?"
"How can Jiang Yuan be a fool if he has come this far? Since he came here, he must have some confidence. Would he be so stupid as to come here and humiliate himself?"
"There's no point in saying more. You'll know after you see it!"
“.”
At this time, Feng Yu also looked at Jiang Yuan who was getting closer and closer with excitement.
It's finally here!
We'll see how strong his body is later.
If this path has great potential.
Then find an opportunity to capture and kill it, and use it to make medicine.
Those with strong bodies all have extraordinary physiques or extraordinary blood.
In addition, he had just refined the true dragon's blood not long ago.
If we use it to make medicine, we will definitely be able to extract the essence of dragon blood.
This way, I can greatly strengthen my physical body.
I might also be able to open up two great secret realms of my physical body, thereby greatly enhancing my ability to preserve my life!
Then he stared at Jiang Yuan's figure.
at the same time.
Jiang Yuan looked at the golden mist in the distance and felt a little excited.
Almost two months have passed.
I can also harvest a lot of luck and power from them.
After more than ten breaths.
Jiang Yuan landed on the platform at the top of the mountain.
Looking at the golden aura on everyone, his mind moved.
The power of luck +57.
The power of luck +57.
The power of luck +570.
This huge amount of luck power of 570 comes from Feng Yu.
As for the number fifty-seven, it comes from those twenty-odd geniuses.
Then, Jiang Yuan said secretly.
I have been in Shenxiao Cave for fifty days without realizing it. It is only three days away from two months!
But the harvest is really good! He then took another look at the current power of luck on his panel.
It has reached 12923 strands.
He closed it immediately, feeling very satisfied.
Close to thirteen thousand strands.
After going out, you can reap the luck and power of the dean and two senior brothers.
In this way, more than a thousand strands of luck power were gained.
In this way, 20,000 strands is no longer a huge number.
“Brother Jiang!”
Feng Yu appeared in front of Jiang Yuan, smiling.
Jiang Yuan looked at his smile, feeling somewhat confused.
So he nodded.
Feng Yu felt a little angry when he saw this.
Then he still smiled faintly.
"I wonder if Brother Jiang can remember the invitation we made before entering the cave?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan suddenly understood.
Feng Yu wants to fight with me here!
Jiang Yuan nodded immediately.
"So let's have a fight now? I really want to see how powerful the one who opened up the third physical secret realm is!"
At this moment, there seemed to be a raging fire in Feng Yu's eyes, and there was a burning heat in his eyes.
Everyone around was immediately excited by this conversation.
"It's direct enough, I like it!"
"Now we're going to have some fun!"
“.”
At the same time, Jiang Yuan looked at Feng Yu and then smiled faintly.
"good!"
"Then let's go to the sky to fight?"
"good!"
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly again.
The two of them moved and instantly soared into the sky.
In a moment it appeared high in the sky.
There was rumbling thunder in the sky above my head, like a roaring angry dragon.
This was a warning to the two men that if they continued to rise into the air, they would be struck by thunder.
A white light flashed in Feng Yu's hand, and an extremely sharp three-foot green sword appeared in his hand.
"Brother Jiang, please take a look. This is a treasure given to me by my clan. This sword is called Jinghong, and it is a low-grade Taoist sword!"
"The sword light can be divided into nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine flying swords!"
"If you can do this, it means you have barely entered the great way of the sword!"
"I am not talented enough. I can only split it into 360 sword lights and combine them into a sword sea cage!"
"So, please teach me, Brother Jiang!"
The words fell.
The sword was suspended above his head, hovering still.
It transmits the clear sound of a sword.
Ripples suddenly appeared in the void.
Then silver nets emerged and all spatial fluctuations were smoothed out.
When Jiang Yuan saw this scene, he was immediately overjoyed.
Low-grade Taoist sword!
What a treasure this is!
The starting price is 100,000 high-quality spirit stones.
Jiang Yuan only wanted to say one thing about this generous gift: I accept it with a smile! But don't worry! Let's test it first! Jiang Yuan immediately said, "Come on!"
"Be careful!"
Feng Yu's eyes narrowed and he shouted.
Buzz buzz buzz——
The sound of swords rang out between heaven and earth.
The voice was light and pleasant, going straight into my mind.
The next moment.
Jiang Yuan understood what Dao Sword was! He saw a sea of swords appearing before his eyes, and the dazzling sword light filled his pupils.
Both eyes felt a slight discomfort.
It was as if countless long swords were about to grow out of his pupils.
"combine!"
As Feng Yu's voice rang out.
Jiang Yuan suddenly found himself surrounded by bright sword light from all directions.
At this time, the 360 long swords were directly combined into a large formation, a sword energy cage, and the cage formed a world of its own.
"Hiss! Is this how terrifying Venerable Feng Yu is? He has mastered this sword to such an extent. It's really terrifying!"
"Yes! The sword formation is formed, and once the sword sea cage is out, it will become a world of its own. How can Jiang Yuan fight back?"
"I don't understand? Why is Jiang Yuan standing there stupidly, waiting for the sword sea cage to close in?"
"I don't understand either! The Sword Sea Cage is Feng Yu's famous skill. Once the cage is formed, even a genius with higher cultivation than him will find it difficult to break this Sword Sea Cage!"
At this time, someone teased, "Brother Dao, you just said that you were optimistic about Jiang Yuan. It must not be that simple for Jiang Yuan to come here!"
"I think he is totally ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth! He has grown up too fast, his character is not good enough, and he has no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Another person said coldly: "Why are you in such a hurry? This has just begun. Wait until he loses before mocking him!"
"Okay!" The man smiled slightly, "I want to see how Jiang Yuan, who ranks 99th on the Supreme List, can break through the Sword Sea Prison and how he can be a match for Venerable Feng Yu!"
at the same time.
Jiang Yuan, who was trapped in the sword sea cage, was secretly amazed at the power of the sword.
At this moment, as the sword sea cage was completed, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt that this world was directly divided.
I felt as if I was in another time and space.
It is unable to absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, nor is it able to resonate with the heaven and earth to make each move more powerful.
The next moment.
Jiang Yuan's mind moved.
Directly display your own spiritual form.
The sky above the outside world.
At this time, day and night reverse, and night falls.
The Moon and the Sun exist in the same sky and earth. The two stars complement each other and emit two waves of extreme yang and extreme yin.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise appeared in the four directions above his head, guarding the four major star regions.
Three hundred and sixty-five stars emit vast waves, and the billions of stars in the sky also shine brightly.
Jiang Yuan suddenly saw a vast star power passing through the sword sea cage and directly blessing himself.
Surrounded by the power of the stars, Jiang Yuan suddenly felt that he possessed infinite power.
When Feng Yu saw this scene, his eyes fixed and his expression became serious.
What a powerful Dharma image.
It is worthy of being ranked among the top 100 Zhoutian Xingdou Dharma Phases in the world!
He secretly marveled.
Then he said, "Brother Jiang, please accept it!"
As soon as the words fell.
Jiang Yuan suddenly felt a sharp and extremely cold light piercing towards his face.
He also wanted to test his own body.
Then he did not dodge or evade.
Raise your hand and grab forward.
The sharp sword was immediately grasped firmly in his palm.
As Jiang Yuan exerted force with his palm.
The sword immediately shattered into millions of pieces.
Seeing this scene, how could Jiang Yuan not understand.
The long sword in his eyes was nothing but sword light.
at the same time.
Feng Yu was also greatly shocked.
What kind of concept is it to catch the sword light emitted from one's own sword sea cage with bare hands?
It was almost like catching the Dao sword with bare hands! Is the Dao of the flesh so powerful?
This question arose in his mind.
Then it became extremely hot!
I must find a way to try and practice the way of the physical body.
Open up the secret realm of the physical body.
Now with my physical strength, at best I can only open up the first physical secret realm.
According to the information that has been circulated, opening up a single physical secret realm is not very powerful and is of little use.
For me now, I need to open up at least two major secret realms of the physical body, and at the same time open up the spleen of earth and the liver of wood.
In this way, my physical defense and recovery capabilities will be greatly increased.
His eyes immediately locked onto Jiang Yuan.
He thought to himself, therefore Jiang Yuan must be taken down.
If he were to refine medicine, he would definitely be able to refine the essence of dragon blood, which would match the specialness of his body! It might not be weaker than that drop of real dragon blood! Thinking of this, his heart suddenly became hot.
"go!"
Feng Yu shouted softly.
As his mind merged into the Jinghong Dao Sword.
The sword sea cage suddenly rioted.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan fully understood why this was called the Sword Sea Cage.
Countless sword lights emerged from all directions.
It was so dense that the sword light seemed to turn into sea water and rush towards him.
The sea is everywhere.
I am trapped in this cage, with no escape and no hiding place.
Only by confronting it head-on can one escape from this prison of sword sea and sky.
Feeling this change, Jiang Yuan was amazed.
It is indeed a Dao Sword! Its power is truly astonishing! If a cultivator of the same realm were trapped in this kind of sword sea cage, he would almost be waiting to be killed, with no other options.
If you can't break the sword sea cage, you will only be worn out to death if you persist.
Because this world is directly divided, and anyone in it.
Once the magic power is used up, it can never be replenished.
Any practitioner is like a tree without roots or water without a source.
Only a powerful person in the Cave Heaven Realm would be fearless of such a scarce scene! No wonder any Taoist weapon is worth at least 100,000 high-quality spirit stones, not considering its enlightenment effect, even its powerful lethality.
It is also countless times more powerful than top-grade spiritual treasures.
Looking at the surging sword energy and sea water in front of him, Jiang Yuan was not afraid at all. Instead, he chuckled.
You came just in time!
He then closed his eyes.
The Qi and blood are abundant, and the blood also flows through the Suzaku Secret Realm.
Be prepared to explode at any time.
He was going to test his physical defense again.
That's why he doesn't resist or escape!
In an instant.
The surging tide of sword energy fell on him.
Every sword energy contains the power of the Dao Sword.
Under Jiang Yuan's full resistance, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his muscles.
The golden membranes of countless cell particles were constantly worn away by the sword energy.
The golden membrane gradually became less solid and seemed to be crumbling.
As long as the cell wall membrane is broken, it means that the cell particle will be completely annihilated! Almost there!
Noticing this change, Jiang Yuan said secretly.
It's time to end! The next moment.
He opened his eyes.
The five energies in the chest have already been gestating and ready to be released.
As his mind moved.
Five colored divine light burst out from his body: red, black, white, orange and green.
How terrifying is the speed of the five-colored divine light? One breath is one million kilometers, two million miles.
It was so fast that no one could react.
As the five-colored divine light burst out, it instantly enveloped and locked onto the Jinghong Dao Sword.
The sword sea cage also dissipated.
"impossible!"
Feng Yu cried out in shock, his face full of disbelief.
At this moment, he could feel that Dao Jian Jinghong, who had been with him for a long time, had completely lost contact with him.
He was completely unable to control the Taoist sword Jinghong.
The next moment.
He watched helplessly as his own Taoist sword Jinghong appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand as the five-colored divine light was retracted.
When the people below saw this scene, they all showed expressions of extreme shock.
"What kind of magical power is this? He actually broke through the sword sea cage in an instant and took away the sword of Master Feng Yu!"
"Hiss! This is unbelievable! I have never seen such a horrific method!"
"Yes! Who could have imagined that the Dao Sword, which had long been refined and recognized its master, would fall into silence after being illuminated by the five-colored divine light cast by Jiang Yuan, and was taken away by him!"
"This magical power is too powerful! There should be some limits, right?"
“.”
At this time, Jiang Yuan glanced at the Jinghong Dao sword in his hand.
Then he said, "Thank you for the gift, fellow Daoist! I will gladly accept it!"
I saw Jiang Yuan looked like he wanted to take it for himself.
Feng Yu was instantly furious, this was a low-grade Taoist sword!
The value of this sword accounts for more than 90% of his wealth. If he loses this Taoist sword, his combat power will at least drop by one level.
He quickly took out an ancient mirror.
He had bought this mirror at an auction for 7,800 high-quality spirit stones.
It is the spectroscopic and calming mirror.
He spent such a huge amount of money to buy this diffraction mirror because he valued its effect in imprisoning the soul.
A glimpse of mirror light.
The speed is one million kilometers in one breath, and no one can escape the coverage of the mirror light.
It can directly immobilize the soul, separate the physical body from the soul, and thus lose all resistance.
