Because of the existence of space cracks in the Sea of Death, not only is the energy violent, but the spiritual energy is also very complex, making it unsuitable for cultivation.
With the things given by the mermaids, after their spiritual energy is used up, they can use spirit stones to absorb spiritual energy.
The spiritual stones given by the mermaids have very pure energy and do not need to be purified by machines. They can be directly absorbed by humans for cultivation.
Gao Han was very curious about how he got these spirit stones.
"Given the conditions on Earth, it should be difficult to produce high-purity spiritual stone veins. Could it be that these spiritual stones..."
"These spirit stones are definitely not from Earth. I found them nearby when I first learned about the existence of space rifts." Seeing that he had guessed it, the mermaid did not hide it.
It turned out not to be a spiritual stone from Earth, but this also indirectly confirmed what Fei Xuelei said.
There might really be another world on the other side of the space crack. Since that world has spiritual stones of such high purity, it is enough to show that the path to immortal cultivation in that world is already very mature.
Gao Han suddenly felt an urge and he also wanted to go to that world and take a look.
Are the Gao family in the previous life and the Yayoi ring inherited by their family related to that world, and what kind of relationship do they have?
What is the situation with the top bookshelf in the Yayoi Ring, and how can it be unsealed? These questions have been lingering in his mind for a long time.
However, repairing the Yang Yin Pearl is extremely difficult.
After a few days of comprehension, Zhongli Tingzhou roughly understood that if he wanted to use the Yin-Yang Beads, he had to repair them first. To repair the Yin-Yang Beads, a huge amount of energy was required.
Artificially adjust the internal balance of the Yin-Yang Bead. When the internal balance is reached, the Yin-Yang Bead will start to operate on its own.
Not long after Zhongli Tingzhou came to this conclusion, the mermaid came with something, which was like a timely help.
Gao Han didn't hesitate and threw everything he could use at Zhongli Tingzhou.
Each of those spirit stones is full of pure and extremely rich spiritual energy. For an ordinary first-class strong man, one or two are enough.
Zhongli Tingzhou fed the Yin-Yang Pearl with more than a dozen spirit stones in succession, but it showed no sign of being full, and the spirit stones were almost used up.
The mermaid, who knew the situation, finally sent another batch of materials over.
Of course, these are not materials used for refining equipment, but plants that grow near the Sea of Death. These plants contain enormous energy, but because they have absorbed the complex energy from space cracks, these impurities need to be removed before they can be absorbed.
There are no such plants anywhere else, they are only found in the Sea of Death.
After mutant creatures and humans absorb this plant, deadly impurities will accumulate in their bodies, thus affecting their future cultivation and eventually causing their bodies to explode and die. Therefore, whether it is humans or mutant creatures, even though they know that these plants are rich in spiritual energy and can absorb it, they dare not do so.
Although humans know that mutant creatures do not rely on these plants, the Sea of Death is the territory of the mermaids, and only the strong among humans dare to approach it. In addition, someone once tried it, but unsurprisingly, he exploded, and no one mentioned it again afterwards.
"You want me to give these plants to Tingzhou?" Gao Han had probably heard about it.
"Ordinary people don't need to use them, but the Yin-Yang Pearl in Zhongli Tingzhou's body can absorb impurities. These plants are tailor-made for him." The mermaid paused, "You are a weapon master, so you should be able to use them too."
"Me? I don't have the Yin-Yang Bead in my body." As for the Yayoi Ring, he always thought that it was just a storage ring.
"The instrument master can purify the materials. You can try it." said the mermaid.
When Gao Han heard this, he was immediately interested and thought that maybe he could really give it a try.
The mermaid just made a suggestion, the choice is his.
As soon as he left, Gao Han took out a grass.
This is a grass that is completely black and has only three petals. It is crystal clear, like a black gem.
The government has no illustrated guide in this regard, and he doesn't know what effects this black grass has.
Gao Han tried to refine it, and the black grass quickly turned into a small pool of black water under the melting of the flame, and the black water then refined a lot of black impurities.
He refined it seven or eight times before he finally refined the small amount of black water into a crystal clear white liquid, with only a fingernail-sized amount left.
Gao Han was just about to give it a try when a white liquid the size of a fingernail suddenly flew up and was instantly sucked into the mouth of Zhongli Tingzhou next to him.
"What are you doing?"
Zhongli Tingzhou swallowed it in one gulp and said hurriedly: "Such a strong energy, give me one, I will swallow it directly and try it."
Gao Han was annoyed, and kicked him as if he hadn't seen it. "You dare to eat it without being sure about anything? What if it's poison?"
"What are you afraid of? I have the Yin-Yang Pearl, which seems to be able to cure all kinds of poisons." Zhongli Tingzhou didn't care.
Gao Han was suddenly stunned. Something flashed by, but it flashed too fast for him to catch it immediately. He asked again, "What did you just say?"
"I said, I have the Yin-Yang Pearl, which can cure all kinds of poisons." Zhongli Tingzhou didn't ask why and repeated it obediently.
Gao Han caught that flash of inspiration instantly and asked excitedly, "Can the Life Devouring Poison be cured?"
Zhongli Tingzhou then realized why he was so anxious. "I don't know, but we can give it a try."
"You can't leave the Sea of Death now. I'll have someone bring grandpa here right away." Gao Han said immediately.
If they went to another world in the space crack in the future, if there was one thing that Gao Han would be worried about, it would be the life-eating poison in Yuan Tianping's body.
Yuan Zhengshan said that he didn't have an antidote for the life-eating poison. How this thing appeared is still an unknown, and there is no way to find the source and prescribe the right medicine.
Humans have a base outside the Sea of Death. Since reaching a peace agreement with the sea people led by the mermaids, humans and the sea people have not fought for some time.
The merman still had to rely on Zhongli Tingzhou to resolve the space rift issue, so he did not interfere with the humans establishing a base on his territory.
The powerful human beings who stayed behind in the stronghold then rushed back to China.
Zhongli Tingzhou is now also the hope of mankind, because because of him and Gao Han, humans and the sea people can be reconciled. The president and Senior Xiao have already ordered that as long as their requirements are within their capabilities, they must complete them.
As a result, they not only brought Yuan Tianping, but also Gao's father and mother.
The three of them had already heard from the head of the Zhongli family that Gao Han was safe and sound, but when they heard that he was still in the Sea of Death, they were very worried and clamored to come along.
Gao Han was surprised to see Gao's father and mother, but he was relieved when he saw that the government had sent two first-class strong men to escort them.
"You kid, the Death Sea is so dangerous, why do you still stay here?" Gao's mother was relieved to see that he was fine, but she couldn't help but scold him.
"Mom, it's dangerous here, but as long as you are careful, nothing will happen." Gao Han felt the warmth from his mother's body and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Really?" Gao's mother was actually 80% convinced.
The two first-class experts who brought them here explained everything to them on the way, and the journey was indeed very easy.
"Really." Gao Han nodded.
"Son, this is for you." Father Gao stuffed a bunch of talismans into Gao Han's hands.
Gao Han took a quick glance and found that these talismans were all top-level talismans.
"Dad, why did you give me so much? Now that humans and the sea tribe have made peace, I don't think I will need it often in the future. You can take a break now."
"But this is all Dad can give you." Gao's father said innocently.
A warm feeling suddenly ran through Gao Han's heart. All the relatives in his life were kind to him in their own way.
"Just keep it. After all, it's a gift from your father." Yuan Tianping said with a smile.
Gao Han looked at him and frowned, "Grandpa, why are you thinner than before? Also, why didn't I see Grandpa come with you?"
Not only that, the vitality in his body was also draining away at a faster rate.
"Maybe your appetite hasn't been very good recently and you haven't eaten much. It's okay, you will be fine in a few days. Your great-grandfather has been busy with the Yuan family's affairs recently, and we haven't told him about this yet." Yuan Tianping smiled.
明明是噬生毒又发作了,还骗他说是胃口不好,高寒看得出来,但没有戳穿,只是将阴阳珠可能治愈噬生毒的猜测告诉他,但他也没有十足的把握。
“没关系,有希望比没有希望好,就算治不好,你也别自责。”
袁天平已经看得很开,他这辈子,能够认回孙子,已经很知足了,而且天生已经废掉仇人袁争山,他这辈子就算止步于此,也没有什么遗憾了。
高寒没说其他,“先让庭洲试一下吧。”
“爷爷,你放心,我一定会全力以赴。”钟离庭洲又趁机跳出来刷好感。
袁天平瞥了他一眼,并没有露出太多笑容,他的孙子被一个男人拐了,这种可不是能笑得出来的好事。
不过他也没有见过比钟离庭洲更厚脸皮的小辈了,再说他和高寒的事情,已成定局,再纠结也没用。
“那就麻烦你了。”
“自家人,不麻烦。”钟离庭洲敏锐的察觉到他的态度变化,笑容更深了,虽然他不在乎除高寒之外所有人的看法,但这些人都是和高寒息息相关的亲人,能够引起他的情绪变化,讨好一下也无所谓。
两人先给袁天平输送了大量的灵能,让他暂时恢复到最好的状态才动手。
钟离庭洲直接调出阴阳珠,这也是第一次。
黑白两面的阴阳珠,散发着神秘的气息。
附近护送他们过来的一等强者,也都睁大眼睛看着这一幕,早听说过阴阳珠的事情,没想到还能亲眼看到。
白色一面,给他们一种光明纯洁的气息,黑色一面,仿佛凝聚着最邪恶的东西。
阴阳珠靠近袁天平后,表面突然亮了,不过亮的不是白色一面,而是绽放黑芒的阴面,里面涌动着某种黑色物质,仿佛蠢蠢欲动。
袁天平本来还没什么感觉,直到这阴阳珠靠近,身体瞬间像被针扎到似的一样疼,从血肉和骨髓里,有什么东西要钻出来。
高寒看到爷爷一瞬间像从水里捞出来一样湿淋淋的,也感受到身体里的波动,面上一喜。
“果然有用。”
虽然他不明白钟离庭洲为什么要用阴面,而不是用阳面净化噬生毒,但既然他选择这么做,应当是有把握才对。
“爷爷,你再忍忍,你身体里的噬生毒潜伏的时间太长了,想要彻底拔除不容易。”高寒扶着他,一边跟他说话,暂时转移他的注意力。
袁天平微不可闻地轻点下头。
这时,阴阳珠突然贴在袁天平的胸口上,一闪便消失了。
阴阳珠不是真的消失,而是进入袁天平身体里,不过这并没有让他的疼痛减缓多少。
旁人看不到他的身体情况,钟离庭洲却‘看到’,潜伏在袁天平骨髓里的噬生毒,以他心脏里的阴阳珠为中心,被吸出骨髓后,就迅速往阴阳珠汇合,形成一道道青色的河流。
持续了两三分钟后,这颗阴阳珠方从袁天平心脏飞出来。
阴阳珠黑色一面,一股乌青色,浓郁得仿佛下一秒就会溢出来,这就是噬生毒,疯狂的想钻出阴阳珠,却被禁锢在里面。
高寒看到,袁天平以肉眼可见的速度,迅速的干瘪萎靡下去,前一秒还有些饱满的身体,瞬间变成一具瘦小的皮包骨,状态也苍老了二十多岁。
好在,这种情况他们早有预料,高寒迅速取出提炼过的白液,送入袁天平嘴里。
浓郁的能量在他身体化开,开始滋润他枯竭干涸的经脉,和严重受创的身体。
看到袁天平身上的变化,众人惊叹不已,阴阳珠不愧是逆天的宝贝,居然连号称无解的噬生毒都能解决。
袁天平本来不抱希望,他从来没有想过,自己还有被治愈的一天,等他再也感受不到那股虚弱和无力感的时候,这位老者不禁仰天大笑。
没有人打扰他,换了任何一个人,恐怕都需要发泄一下。
“高寒,你们是不是打算到空间裂缝另一个世界去?”
袁天平发泄完心中的冲动,拉着高寒到远处说悄悄话。
“爷爷怎么知道?”高寒惊讶道。
“我不傻,以现在的情况,也能推测得出来,”袁天平顿了一下,才问道:“你们打算什么时候行动?”
“最近就打算开始尝试封闭和进入空间裂缝。”高寒如实说道,既然爷爷提前猜到了,为了不让他们担心,他就实话实说了。
“就不能……不去吗?”袁天平犹豫地说道,尽管知道可能性很低。
“爷爷,不去的话,我们永远也不知道,地球之外的世界,有多么广阔,一等上级巅峰,是地球的极限,想要突破,我们必须闯一闯。”
既然知道还有一条路可走,就算在这里的不是高寒或钟离庭洲,相信他们也会做出同样的选择。
修炼之路,修的也是心境,安于现状,没有进取之心,又如何能突破。
袁天平知道说服不了他们,哪怕高父高母出面,也没有办法,“那,你们有把握吗?”
“把握还是有的,爷爷您就放心吧。”高寒笑着说道。
他其实也不清楚里面的情况怎么样,只是如果能让他们安心,这些话他不介意说给他们听。
袁天平看到他自信的样子,确实没那么焦躁了,就算孙子是骗他的,他也愿意相信。
高父高母那边,高寒并没有跟他们说出事实。
送走他们之后,高寒就炼了几件灵器,之后委托人类的强者,将这几件灵器带回去给自己的亲人。
一个风和日丽的早上,两人决定在这一天,封锁空间裂缝的同时,进入里面一探究竟。
这一天,来了很多人。
有人类强者,比如萧山、司马阳、钟离老爷子等等强者,海族那边,是鲛人带领他的手下过来了。
萧山他们本来打算瞒着钟离老爷子,但是没瞒住,还是被他知道了。
“你们要是不回来,老头子我就跑去找你们。”钟离老爷子阴沉着脸,心里极度不愿意他们去冒险,但为了人类,他却忍下了。
钟离庭洲的二哥也来了,只是沉默着没有说话,脸色阴郁极了。
“高寒,你也一定要平安回来,在你回来之前,你爸妈和爷爷,我会替你照顾好他们。”袁天生能做的,只有这个。
“谢谢大爷爷,他们就麻烦你了。”高寒点点头。
袁天生欲言又止,其实想问他能不能不去,毕竟他和钟离庭洲不一样,但他心里也知道不可能。
高寒看得出来,只是当作没看到罢了,他不是出于好奇才想去那个世界,而是为了钟离庭洲的身体,只有那个修炼世界,才有更多的希望。
“希望你们能平安回来。”萧山轻叹一声,没想到这种危险的事,最后却是落在两个小辈身上,枉他们是人类的顶尖强者。
“爷爷,我……”司马烨看着高寒和钟离庭洲,突然对司马阳说。
司马阳不等他说完,就打算他的话,“住嘴,你想都别想,他们有阴阳珠,去了还有活命的机会,你有什么,进去了,九条命都不够用。”
亲自养大的孙子,能不知道他心里在想什么。
司马烨有些失落,空间裂缝通向的另一个世界,他也想去。
萧山在他们走的时候,还送了点东西给他们,和鲛人之前给的储物道具有点像,不用看,也知道里面放着什么。
“好了,别婆婆妈妈了。”钟离庭洲看着来的人,准备一个个跟高寒说几句,心中的不爽已经升破天际,他们又不是真的去送死,搞得好像他们一进去就回不来一样。
“臭小子,你怎么说话的,老头子关心你几句,你还不乐意啊,不乐意也得憋着。”钟离老爷子突然大声喊道。
钟离庭洲像被震住了一样,看着老爷子突然就不说话了。
钟离老爷子吼完也心虚心疼了,倒不是怕小儿子当众给他甩脸色看,又不是第一次,只是从小他就没舍得打骂。
“随便你。”钟离庭洲说完,就瞥开视线。
钟离老爷子一呆,这好像是小儿子第一次没有不耐烦地离开,心里顿时那个激动啊。
“到了那边后,别玩得太疯,要是有机会,记得给我们传递下信息,让我们知道你们的情况……”
钟离老爷子还在巴拉巴拉,其他人已经不知道该说什么了。
这很可以,看来钟离老爷子对他们很自信,连别玩得太疯这种话都说出来了,好像他们真能通过空间裂缝,到另一个世界后,还能立刻混得风生水起一样。
至于传递信息,他们更是连想都不敢想,两个不同的世界,要怎么传递信息,靠空间裂缝?那还是洗洗睡吧。
不过……大家都没有打断老爷子的话,这种乐观的心态也蛮好的,还能感染其他人,不至于让大家太过悲观。
最后的最后,钟离庭洲终于忍受不了,打断老爷子的话。
“其他话等我回来再说。”
Old Master Zhongli wanted to say more, but when he heard this, a smile suddenly broke out on his face, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back."
"Let's go." Zhongli Tingzhou pulled Gao Han up, turned his resolute back, and flew towards the bottom of the sea.
The Yin-Yang Bead was suspended in front of a space crack several meters wide. In order to suppress it, Zhongli Tingzhou did not take it into his body.
Gao Han set up several lines of defense on the two of them, and then they entered the space crack without looking back.
The two figures were instantly engulfed by the black substance that surged out of the space crack.
None of the humans and sea creatures present left.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou entered the space crack this time not only to go to another world, but also to close the space crack.
After a few minutes, the space crack did not shrink, and the black matter and strong wind that gushed out did not decrease.
Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, someone exclaimed.
"Is the space crack a little smaller than before?"
This point is not noticeable, less than one centimeter, but if the strong people present pay close attention, they can still find it.
The speed of repairing the space crack is very slow. Although it is effective, it also means that Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou will need to stay in it for a long time. No one knows whether they can hold on until that time.
During the time in the Sea of Death, Zhongli Tingzhou had tried to repair the space cracks from the outside, but with little success. Later he discovered that repairing it from inside might be more effective.
An hour later, the space crack was reduced by half, and then the repair speed slowed down.
Even though everyone has not experienced it personally, they can still see it and break out in a cold sweat.
An unknown amount of time had passed before the space crack became less than a dozen centimeters. Suddenly, a tidal-like energy gushed out and expanded another ten centimeters, instantly making everyone's heart hang in the air.
The most nervous ones were Grandpa Zhongli and Yuan Tiansheng. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they almost thought something had happened to the two of them inside. Suddenly, the energy sprayed out from the space crack condensed into a point and disappeared instantly along with the space crack.
The waters of the Death Sea are still flowing violently, but over time, they slowly return to calm and turn into a pool of stagnant water.
The crisis of the Sea of Death, the crisis of the sea people, and the crisis of humanity have all been resolved.
The two of them succeeded, and while humans were still in shock, the sea people had already burst into loud cheers.
They no longer had to worry about the sea water drying up or their homes disappearing. The king had not misjudged these two humans.
