While the construction of fortifications continued in the west and north, and preparations for battle were made, the atmosphere in the East China Sea Dragon Pass was still difficult to recover. They had thought that they were the most idle party, because if Xia Xiao succeeded in persuading the Emperor Qishi, the most they would have to fight was a large wave.
Compared to the wild beast king Quedan in the south, the wild beast army in the west, and the demon creatures in the north, no matter how fierce the waves are, they are still less threatening than those, after all, they are well prepared. But persuading the emperor to start sounds incredible, but Xia Xiao himself is a miracle maker. Who would have thought that he would fall into the demon path, but not lose himself, but be recognized by the world? This is already extremely absurd and crazy.
Therefore, countless people admired him and hoped that he would return successfully. But they should have known that no matter how powerful Xia Xiao was, he could not play tricks in front of the ancient strongmen like the Emperor Qishi. So at this time, how should they deal with the Emperor Qishi in the East China Sea? It is estimated that if his tail shakes the sea surface, the air wave will be able to overturn the Dragon Pass.
When Qing Xunzi first noticed something strange, he informed the Great Xia Dynasty. Therefore, Jianglong Pass was built on the basis of Suiyang, the city in the far east. Compared with other cities in Great Xia, this Jianglong Pass is extremely thick and tall, but it only has a 30-meter-high wall, not as exaggerated as the thousand-foot-high Wall of Life.
The waves at the seaside are definitely stronger than those rushing inland. Therefore, the mission of the Dragon Pass is to provide a strong enough shelter for the practitioners, while the mission of the Wall of Life is to stop the floods rushing inland. The tasks are different, and the construction is naturally different, but they are equally solemn and awe-inspiring, and people dare not offend or violate their majesty.
Jianglong Pass, like many cities in the Great Xia Dynasty, is pitch black. The people of this country like this single color very much, because it is hard and silent. Only by being silent can we do things better and show strong explosive power. At this time, the black bricks were wet, very new, and a little cool. Several practitioners who had just finished a meeting walked out of the city gate and stood at their posts, puzzled.
"Is the sky clear?"
When one of them asked, he looked up at the sky and saw dozens of talisman formations blocking the rain above Jianglong Pass, causing them to gather into pillars and flow into the sea not far away. The hugeness of these talisman formations made the two practitioners look at each other in bewilderment. They dared not make any more random guesses, but just held the spears in their hands and stood straight in front of the city gate.
Looking at the plaque with the dragon beast tiger shoulder, the three words "Dragon Pass" on it were particularly eye-catching, causing the practitioner on the left to speak:
"Since Xia Xiao failed, do you think this war can be won?"
"Although we are at a disadvantage now, we have to pray for victory until the last moment, otherwise we will all die."
"Oh, if I had known I would not have come to Jianglong Pass. I thought I could survive by chance, but I didn't expect to die so soon."
"A coward would think so wherever he goes. Aren't the Quedans in the South Sea scary? Is the entire Wild Beast Forest safe and sound? Or do you think the demonic creatures are easy to defeat?"
"According to what you said, we are all doomed to die!"
After the cultivator on the left finished speaking in a bad mood, the cultivator on the right immediately swallowed his words and started making faces to attract his attention to the two people walking out from the other side of the city gate.
Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu, who had just learned of Xia Xiao's failure, walked out of the depressed Jianglong Pass and came to the beach to measure how much the sea level had risen. The rain had been falling for a whole hour. Although it was not a downpour, it would naturally bring unexpected reactions to the entire wilderness.
"General!"
The two saluted and watched their broad backs walk to the beach not far away. It was only a thousand meters away from the beach, and even if the two were not fast, they would not be able to walk for long. On top of it, both of them looked up at the slightly tilted talisman array, heading towards the water columns. Although it was spring, it was cloudy and rainy, which made people lose interest. Their words were full of melancholy.
"I wonder what Xiao'er is feeling right now?"
"He's been through so much, and he won't be depressed even if he's sad. But Xu'er, do you think the rising sea level is a good thing or a bad thing?"
"It's definitely a bad thing. The higher the sea level, the less land there is. In a month, the Emperor Qishi will break the seal. The huge waves that will be set off at that time will probably be ridiculously high. The reduced amount of land will not be able to fully unload the force, and the Wall of Life will be more likely to collapse."
Xia Xu's analysis was good. No one could have imagined that the Great Emperor Qishi was so powerful that he could directly rain down rain that covered the entire wilderness. If it continued to rain, not to mention resisting the waves, many places here would be disturbed by floods. Although the people of various countries have gathered in the inland high places, how can they fight? Not everyone is a master of water, and the so-called masters are just shrimps that can fill the teeth of big fish in front of the flood waves!
The people from the three directions all had clear targets to fight, except for the east. Although they were the first to confirm that the Emperor Qishi would lift the seal and bring threats, they could not intervene in such an existence. Wild beasts and monsters were divided into strong and weak ones, and there was the Wall of Buddhas in the south to cooperate. They were so far away from the east of the East China Sea, they couldn't drive a boat there, that would be the fastest way to become a martyr. A wave would wipe out the whole army, and before the Emperor Qishi came, they would die.
Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu sighed in the midst of all the contradictions. Such a strong enemy had already won them psychologically before the battle even started. After measuring the sea level with his vital energy, Xia Xu raised his arm, and the huge stone pillar, which was as thick as three people's arms, became thicker again and was level with the sea surface on the shore.
"At this rate, the Shelie Kingdom will be flooded in less than half a month."
As an island country, it is obviously possible to shoot. Fortunately, the people were evacuated in time, otherwise it would be too late. At a speed visible to the naked eye, the sea water was about to reach the stone pillar. This speed made Xia Jinghong and the others turn around and jump into the city with dozens of water columns as the background, and report the situation to Fang Hai of the academy.
There were not many strong men coming to Jianglong Pass. Fang Hai, who was in the Qulun realm, was the temporary leader, mainly responsible for communication and issuing orders. After hearing what the two had discovered, he immediately reported to Zhenxun and looked up at the sky with a stern face. This was no small matter. In his mind, he even saw the image of the primitive wilderness. Everything came from the ocean and would return to the ocean.
Guan Zhongyi reported this matter to the senior sister and suggested:
"This is obviously not a solution. It's only the first day, and the rain has only been falling for two hours, but there are already visible changes. I estimate that when we get up in a few days, the water will have flooded to the corner of Jianglong Pass. Not to mention withstanding the waves, it will collapse after being soaked for a month. So can we discuss with the vice president to move some of the sea water to the sky?"
"You mean, there are several oceans suspended like on the top of Tongtian Peak?"
"Exactly!"
The eldest sister was silent for a while, then replied:
"First see if the vice president has a way to stop the rain. If not, then try this method."
"Although the efficiency is low, it is definitely not okay to leave it alone. We can't let the water practitioners absorb it and let the fire practitioners evaporate it. Although the current Great Wilderness is still orderly, it is actually a mess. We can't allow the practitioners to be mobilized anymore."
"knew."
The eldest sister frowned, but what Guan Zhongyi said was very true. There are no idle people in the wilderness now. If the practitioners are transferred everywhere, they will not be able to win in a month. But this situation cannot be ignored. If necessary, the strong men of the righteous way in the world will modify the world and raise the sea water above the clouds to avoid the harm of floods. But she cannot discuss it with the deputy dean at the moment, because the latter saw the heavy rain two hours ago and sat on the top of Tongtian Peak, hoping to get guidance from the dean.
Wang Yuanke looked like this when he met the dean. Three hundred years later, he restored his appearance after practicing and attaining enlightenment, hoping to meet the dean again. Over the years, he entered a deep state of meditation countless times, hoping to communicate with the dean and exchange ideas on breaking through the shackles of the wilderness. But the latter disappeared after leaving.
To the gods, is the Great Wilderness really just a speck of dust in the sea of stars, like a blade of grass? The dean has been studying and meditating here for hundreds of years, but has he really never taken a moment to remember it? Why is it that Ah Zhu is the only one who attracted him and successfully communicated with him? Could it be that only gods can interest him? The vice dean is unwilling to accept this reality, as he is the dean's only disciple in the Great Wilderness world and also a good friend.
Even though three hundred years have passed, the vice-president still can't forget the joy of sitting under a peach tree with the dean, listening to him playing the zither and reciting poems. There weren't as many peach trees as there are now. Now there are more trees, but no one can be found. It would be fine if we couldn't meet at other times, but now is the time when the Great Wilderness World is in danger. Dean, you established the Ningshen Academy, and now it is in danger. Are you really not going to come out and guide your disciples? Now is not the time for your disciples to change the situation by themselves.
When the vice president asked, he didn't know how long he had been in meditation, but the eldest sister forced him to wake up. Although he needs the guidance of the true god now, the longer he meditates, the more suffering the people in Jianglong Pass will suffer. They are always worried. Early this morning, Xia Jinghong and his son came to check whether the sea level has risen, and they were shocked.
Just as they thought, it rose a few centimeters. If it continued like this, the situation would get worse and worse. They had to prepare for a rainy day and not wait until the day of flooding to find a solution. At this time, the extremely long beach had disappeared. It was not the time to sit and wait for death. They reported the situation again, hoping to be taken seriously. But the vice president was still observing and did not make an immediate decision.
His temporary inaction inevitably disappointed Xia Jinghong and Xia Xu when they heard about it. Subordinates always hope to get their requests met immediately, but superiors have to consider a lot, and it will take more than a few hours to come up with a plan. Especially for such a grand matter, moving the sea to the sky is not as simple as talking.
Listening to the sound of the falling water column, Xia Jinghong and his son frowned. Last night, they woke up several times because of this sound. It was not because they had insomnia, as generals could fall asleep as soon as they touched the pillow, but this sound was too loud, and they were also worried.
"I hope that this Dragon Subduing Pass will not be submerged by the sea before the dragon is subdued. That would be too embarrassing."
