Chapter 276 Repairing the Cracks
The Dragon King was stunned, Master Tianming's face darkened, and the head of the Xuanyuan family curled his lips.
"Young friend Zhong, if you need help from anyone, could you please let me know?"
Zhong Linger took out a pen and paper and started writing on the spot, saying, "I need these people. They have the best coordination in the Big Dipper Seven Killing Formation. These few have top-grade ice spirit roots, and these have water spirit roots. I need them to help control the sea water..."
Zhong Ling'er wrote on several large sheets of paper in an elegant manner, and pointed out the purpose of each person. The Dragon King took it, looked at it, and frowned.
This list is very different from the one I have. There are almost no Zhongzhou cultivators on it. The key is that none of them is from the Tianji Pavilion. The intention is very obvious.
But repairing the cracks must be done with the help of Zhong Ling'er, and it seems that all the arrangements he had made were in vain.
"Friend Zhong, I still need to communicate with the people on this list. I will let you know the date after the arrangement is made. Is that ok with you?"
Zhong Ling'er smiled and nodded, then took her two brothers away.
The Dragon King was busy for two days and renegotiated the terms of cooperation before he sent someone to inform Zhong Ling'er of the departure date.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly. The Taiqiong Mirror, which had been closed for a long time, began to shine again, and Zhong Ling'er's big smiling face appeared again.
"Hi, fellow Taoists, today we are going to repair the cracks on the seabed. Now, eight hundred of us are setting off for our destination on a dragon boat."
"Some fellow Taoists may ask, what does a dragon boat look like? Haha, the dragon boat we are riding is a real dragon boat!"
Zhong Ling'er turned her clairvoyance in several directions and saw five giant dragons flying through the clouds. Human monks were sitting steadily on the dragons' backs, some were meditating and resting, while others were conversing and playing chess.
Zhong Ling'er turned her clairvoyance downward and saw the endless sea, like a deep blue gem, tranquil and noble.
Then Zhong Ling'er turned her Clairvoyance towards herself and said, "As you can see, the Dragon Clan has given us the highest honor. We will not let them down. Next, everyone will wait and see how we repair the cracks in the ground."
"Wow, riding a dragon? Dragons are always proud, but they actually allow people to ride them. This is incredible."
"A few days ago, Junior Sister said she wanted to poke a hole in the sky, but now she wants to repair the earth first. This is incredible."
"Can such a big crack in the seabed really be repaired? I've never heard of such a thing!"
"Since Junior Sister asked us to watch, she must be confident. We just need to watch."
"Yes, I haven't seen my junior sister for several days. I miss her a little. No matter what, it's good to see my junior sister."
When the huge head of the copper-scaled snake came into view, Zhong Linger waved her hand, "Xiao Tong, I'm back again. Did you miss me?"
Ling Ji laughed, picked up Zhong Ling'er and dropped her on top of the bronze-scaled snake's head.
"He said he missed you. If you don't come, the array disks will become ineffective. He doesn't know what to do."
Zhong Ling'er knelt down and touched the snake's scales. "Don't be afraid. I'm here to solve this problem. I will give you your freedom soon."
The snake's head shook twice, and Ling Ji picked up Zhong Ling'er, "Let's go, he asked us to hurry up, he's tired, and he's wanted to change positions for a long time."
Zhong Ling'er looked at the bronze-scaled snake reluctantly. It was a divine beast with pure blood, but unfortunately it belonged to the underworld and was not easy to kidnap!
Five giant dragons led the monks into the sea. The dragon clan was worthy of being the overlord of the sea. Water had no resistance for them at all. They dived continuously at a very fast speed and arrived at the crack on the seabed in just a moment.
Zhong Ling'er asked them to find the edge along the crack and then set up a drainage array to make this area a waterless space.
The weapon cultivators took out the tools they had prepared in advance. The cultivator with water spirit roots removed the water from the cracks, revealing the rock layer underneath. The weapon cultivators welded steel bars on the rocks. The cultivator with fire spirit roots controlled the flames to melt the stone and statue fragments in the strange machine, and a special person operated the machine to pour the liquid into the cracks.
Because of the mesh of steel bars, and the control of the spiritual power of the cultivator next to it, the liquid will stay on the steel bars for a while. At this time, the cultivator with ice spiritual roots will let the liquid cool and solidify quickly. As the liquid increases, the solidified area becomes larger and larger, and soon the gap is filled.
When the formation disk was removed, no black stagnant water emerged from the area. The people who had been busy for half a day cheered. They succeeded. Although only a small piece was repaired, it was proved that this method was effective and the crack was finally blocked.
With the successful precedent, everyone became more motivated and began to move forward to fill larger cracks.
Zhong Ling'er stood on the repaired crack, her mind full of doubts. It seemed too easy to repair it like this, and it didn't seem real at all.
Zulong came out and went deep into the earth to sense it. After coming back, he entered his golden body of merit and looked at Zhong Ling'er in silence.
"What's that expression on your face? Is there something wrong?"
"Your luck is truly unmatched. Not only have you mended this crack, you have mended it so well."
"Zulong, please speak human language."
Zulong smiled and said, "This crack is caused by the collapse of this world. This is the weakest point in the underground. It will crack first because it lacks the nourishment of immortal spirit energy. Your method of repairing the crack is just to block the stagnant water, which cannot stop the further collapse of this place."
"But you added fragments of stone statues into the materials. There is fairy spirit there, which just makes up for the deficiency of this area. So, you really repaired the gap, and the repaired part is truly integrated with the earth."
Zhong Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief, and then said proudly: "I didn't rely entirely on luck, but thought it through in advance. Why do you think I had to smash Qingxuan's stone statue? It was for the immortal spirit. In ancient times, there was a goddess repairing the sky, and today I, Zhong Ling'er, am repairing the earth. How about it, I'm awesome, right?"
Zulong gave a thumbs up, "Amazing, this is enough to be recorded in history."
Qingxuan shed tears silently. His jade puppet had been with him for tens of thousands of years, but now he had to smash it into pieces with his own hands. Who knew the pain in his heart?
The next step was for everyone to repair the cracks piece by piece. As their proficiency increased, the speed of repair became faster and faster.
In addition to setting up the formation, Zhong Ling'er spent the rest of her time on the big hole in the middle that was blocked by the copper-scaled snake. Not only was the hole big, but the ground surface was also very fragile, so it would not work to just use steel bars to fill it.
The bronze-scaled snake stuck its head into the sea water and watched the monks repair the cracks. He saw Zhong Ling'er sitting aside in deep thought, so he put his head in front of Zhong Ling'er, stuck out his snake tongue and gently touched Zhong Ling'er.
Zhong Ling'er sensed his concern, touched its head with her hand, and sighed softly, "I was thinking that these broken parts are unusable. If we chisel them open, will they be able to suppress the stagnant water from pouring in?"
